John McElwee has been on a film noir jag in 2022, and we'll dole out his noir entries from his long-running GREENBRIAR PICTURE SHOWS blog one at a time.
John has always had a soft spot for noir--some might recall that when a certain someone was editor-in-chief of the NC e-zine "back in the day" (2006-14), his work was reprinted there periodically because of his unique take on the subject and his penchant for locating and displaying fabulous images related to the films--many of which were transferred directly to the pages of the e-zine.
In this installment, John begins at the front of the alphabet (which is how he's organized his series, which is up to #17 as of the other day). You'll get his takes on ACT OF VIOLENCE, AFFAIR IN HAVANA, AFFAIR IN TRINIDAD and ALIAS NICK BEAL--a most unlikely quarter to be linked together, but somehow John always makes these things work.
