Eddie Muller's intro to "Too Late for Tears" (1949) on TCM Noir Alley 

Love this movie

Fantastic Film. Lizabeth Scott, like Lauren Bacall's better sister.

It's a great movie

One correction: It's not set entirely in L.A. The last part is set in a Mexican resort.

I love how Dan Duryea's thug, goes into this thinking he's going to bully a little housewife and ends up scared to death of her.

"break the wild wind!" I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall of his imagination when he thought of that.

Thanks for doing these. I'd appreciate less "shaky-cam" if you could. Thanks.

Since I first saw/found this movie I have watched it at least a hundred times. Okay 54 times. I have a question. What is the name of the theme song played in this movie? (as an interesting aside too - Just tonight as I started watching, "Double Jeopardy" - the 1955 one) I noticed that the theme song was identical, or nearly so!?! Interesting. - off the subject but the intro to both movies, the visual, looking down, etc. and then the music too?! Deja vu when it started!) What is the name of this song???? Anyone? Thanks much!

any comments on how any black and white film and film shot in shadows etc just about any older film being labeled film noir

A truly terrible film. Notwithstanding Barry Kelley, Dan Duryea, and Don DeFore, it's a festival of god-awful acting headed up by the truly terrible Lizabeth Scott. It's so hard to find films this ludicrously plotted it almost immediately descends into an insult to the audience's intelligence--even in the context of B movie noir. Even on THOSE terms most of the character behavior is so absurdly unbelievable you wish the film had never been "re-discovered." Better to have been flushed, instead.
