Thanks for that insight, ChiBob. Of course you are right that an "A" picture can be a noir. "On the Waterfront" just jumped out at me as not being noir in the least.

But I am not the type of person who can watch multiple movies in one day, so I am relieved when a festival has "easy to pass" movies on its schedule.

I had such a great time last year. I can't wait to go back.
