Day 5 of the #NoirvemberChallenge: A Noir You Wish More People Saw.
My pick is The Window (1949), directed by Ted Tetzlaff. I first saw it at Eddie Muller's Film Noir Festival at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles, back in 1999 or 2000. It's stayed with me ever since.

November 4: Favorite newspaper noir… Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (1956, directed by Fritz Lang) with Dana Andrews, Joan Fontaine, and Sidney Blackmer.
Love this one body and soul.

Michael Mann said many of the striking visual ideas in Thief came from growing up in Chicago:
“I grew up in inner city in Chicago, and I probably was imagining some of the visuals in Thief I probably encountered when I was, you know, in my late teens, early twenties.
There's always something special about driving through some of those cage iron bridges on the way to Kankakee across the river. There were some parts of the industrial landscape in Chicago and on the river were really always exciting to me. I didn't really know why.”

Day 5: A Noir You Wish More People Saw…. Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (1956). Holy cats is this one good?! Dana Andrews (a top personal favorite) is.. as always… perfectly flawless.
Great film, elite cast, excellent script, and the perfect director (Fritz Lang) to bring them all together. #Noirvember

Coming on December 15th on Blu-ray in the US from @KinoLorber: #TheLastLullaby (2008)!
From Grandmaster “Edgar” winner Max Allan Collins (creator of Road to Perdition) comes this compelling crime drama. In The Last Lullaby, a retired assassin (Tom Sizemore, Saving Private Ryan, Heat) is lured back in the game for one last high-priced contract. Sent to kill a beautiful and intriguing librarian (Sasha Alexander, Rizzoli & Isles), the killer begins to harbor troubling doubts as he stalks his unsuspecting prey. Hitman Price—based on Quarry, the long-running character who inspired an HBO/Cinemax series—must choose between a life of luxury and a possible path to redemption in director Jeffrey Goodman’s chilling, beautifully crafted modern noir.

NIGHT AND THE CITY [1950]
Directed by Jules Dassin
This is one of my favorite noirs. Something about the atmosphere and the vibe, with a pace driven largely by Richard Widmark's excellent performance, put this one high on the list for me.

Burt Lancaster, #BOTD, made one of the most unforgettable screen debuts in Hollywood history with his very first film, "The Killers" (1946), starring opposite the captivating Ava Gardner. The film noir created instant stardom for both. A former circus acrobat with a commanding presence, he would go on to become one of Hollywood's most magnetic and versatile leading men.

In a Lonely Place (1950): A movie that I will rewatch as part of the #Noirvember movie cycle.
I liked it very much when I saw it 10 years ago.
It's a character study of the main character and the circumstances around him. Bogart is excellent as the lead: a tormented screenwriter.
