TOO LATE FOR TEARS (1949)

For many years, all 35mm prints of "Too Late for Tears" (1949) were believed lost, but through the determined efforts of the Film Noir Foundation, enough original material has been discovered to enable a restoration, performed under the auspices of the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Based on a novel by future television titan Roy Huggins, and featuring Huggins' own brilliant screenplay, the film is a neglected masterpiece of noir, awaiting rediscovery. A suburban housewife (Lizabeth Scott) decides to keep a satchel of money accidentally tossed into her convertible, against the wishes of her husband (Arthur Kennedy). Dan Duryea plays the intended recipient of the cash and he’s not into sharing. The result? Mayhem and murder. Dir. Byron Haskin WOMAN ON THE RUN (1950)

A lost gem rediscovered! Thanks to the efforts of the Film Noir Foundation, this terrific 1950 film noir, the only American print of which was burned in a 2008 fire, has been rescued and restored to its original luster. Join the wild chase around San Francisco as a man goes into hiding after witnessing a gangland execution. Police bird-dog his wife Eleanor (Ann Sheridan), certain she’ll lead them to her husband, whose testimony against the killer could bring down a crime kingpin. But Eleanor and her hubbie are Splitsville—she never wants to see him again. When roguish newspaperman Danny Leggett (Dennis O’Keefe) charms Eleanor into helping him track down the hidden husband—there are unexpected, stunning and poignant results. This nervy, shot-on-location thriller is a witty and wise look at the travails of romance and marriage, and perhaps the best cinematic depiction ever of mid-20th century San Francisco. Dir. Norman Foster

hi Lacelight

if you have a particular trope(s) that pop up in all your stories, do you make a conscious effort to make sure you're writing it differently every time, or do you let it become its own version as you go, or do you not really care because you love this trope and you'll just have it the same way every time? (this is of particular interest to me)

hey sleepy!!

In general, I don’t worry about whether or not I’m making this particular iteration more original than the last. I think it’s more about making it true to the character it’s being invoked with and improving on the last version. As an example, since I, myself, am a scientist, I write a lot of mad scientists (mostly because… I’ll admit they’re kind of an ideal for me). I do find myself asking, sometimes, what I haven’t worked with yet (what previous inspirations I haven’t pulled from or invoked); what parts of scientific/professional ethics in the face of the paranormal I haven’t touched yet; and so on; but more often than not it’s about playing with science and morality in the context of the protagonist and the world they exist in.

Like, Kay Clark has a very different relationship to it, as someone who was experimented on without her consent, than Tiff Sheridan, as someone who is doing the experimenting (and does most of it on herself); and both of them have a different relationship to science itself than Dr. Deseret, who saw science change from the 1800s to the present day. Those specific differences weren’t a conscious choice, but they were something I could play with once I realized they were there. 

The same is true of characters like Ben Baker, Denny Duncan, and Gill Spellmeyer when it comes to lycanthropy (and especially lycanthropy as an extension of the self). In that case, it was something I thought about consciously, because I think it’s very physiological, and the psychological often affects that. If you’re prone to panicking, like Denny, how does that change your relationship to what you are and what you can do (and how people see you)? If you’re odd and morose, and you’ve started to grow out of how you used to be, how does that affect things (in Gill’s case)? If you’re twenty and finally figuring yourself out, like Ben, and finally not angry anymore, finally not sad anymore, finally happy… If you’re in your new skin, finally becoming a person again after something happened to you… 

Sometimes I like to keep the similarities, then. I have things I want to examine. I want to look at the throughlines. I want to look at the things that bring characters together as much as the things that differentiate them.

Woman on the Run https://bit.ly/3yfXLzz Originally titled Man on the Run, Woman on the Run has two claims to specialness. First is the choice role it hands to Ann Sheridan, the film’s star. The second is the extensive use of locations out on the streets of San Francisco, where much of it was shot. It opens as a classic film noir – a nighttime cityscape and a lone male out walking. With his dog. This is strange. Film noir males don’t have pets. They’re loners. A bottle is more likely to be their special friend. And this is 1950 – peak noir.

Oh, yes, I’m that bitter, selfish, vicious wife.  The cause of his unhappiness, the cause of his failure.  Is that what he told you?  Is that what he tells everyone?
