Brilliant! Black & White shots create such a dramatic mood, especially in this instance. Well done and have a Happy Mute Mondat.

Excellent choice. I hate it when hollyweird tries to remake the film noir classics.

Happy Mute Monday.

This puts me in the mood to go out and pick up a flick for tonight's entertainment.

Good stuff!

This genre really appeals to me. I'm glad you liked it.


Troll:
I dislike Hollyweird when they try to make anything.


Thursday:
I think most people love a good noir.


NYD:
And you'd be guaranteed a good night in.


Kate:
Thank you.


Java:
And that's the appeal for me.





Thank you all, Happy MM.

Thank you, and happy MM to you too.

One of my fave genres! Love the last photo. People forget what a great actor Sinatra was, too. Happy, happy!

I am such a fan of film noir. Very well chosen images!

I'd make a comment, but it's still Monday (at least, it is HERE) and if it's a MUTE Monday then I can't tell you how much I enjoy the drama of Black & White on film.

So I won't.

Ooooh.
Wow.
I'm really drawn to the 4th one from the bottom... the one where the sad looking guy has a cigarette in his mouth.
Who is that?
What film is that?

Janna:
Boy Janna perhaps you should be visiting me more often, that way I don't have to meet you way back here amongst all the dark images. tehe

That pic you like is Richard Widmark in a 50s film; Night and the City.
