Two O' Clock Courage (1945)

Two O' Clock Courage (1945) is a romantic-comedic amnesia cabbie journalism and media comedy female seeker hero mystery writer-hero film noir from the classic era of the urban female seeker hero and cabbie noir adventure movie.

For 1945 this is powerful stuff, a seminal seminar in crossover and able to tell you more about history, narrative, meta-history, film-making, World War 2 and the USA than Citizen Kane might ever.

Mind you, this is virtually post-the-war and the thing hasn't gone off yet, it's one the last pictures from Innocentlandia.

The Return of The Whistler (1948)

The Return of The Whistler (1948) is a Cornell Woolrich family plot paranoid woman cheapo The Whistler series film noir tale from the high period of American film serial and film noir cinema.

It's an old noir ruse, to frame up the female inheritor of a largescale superdoughed family estate and then persuade her that she is mad, until she almost or really does become mad, only to melt into relief after discovering that suburban and middle class, or elite living is in fact a sham, a conspiracy and an utter hoax of frauds.

The film begins with Ted meeting Alice Dupres Barkley, a young French woman played by Lenore Aubert. Despite knowing each other for only two days, the couple impulsively decides to marry.
