ASK EDDIE RETURNS THIS THURSDAY

The final ASK EDDIE livestream of January airs this Thursday, January 27, 7:00 pm PT on the Film Noir Foundation's  Facebook page.

FNF prez Eddie Muller responds to film noir fan questions fielded by the Foundation’s Director of Communications Anne Hockens. In this episode, the second half of a two-parter, we discuss CHICAGO DEADLINE, female narrators in noir, the use of newsreels for propaganda, and which noir had the most perfect cast. We wind up this session with a lightning round of “Noir or Not?” On the cat front, Emily naps and Charlotte attempts to answer a couple of the questions.

The first half of this conversation is availablehere.
