Film Noir Tribute - Paint it Black

[TheDystopiaInside]

I could name more than half the scenes in this, very good selection of films.

I wish B-noirs got more attention though, films like The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Scarlet Street, Private Hell 36, Ride the Pink Horse, etc

This is great! Perfect song choice and excellent editing! Love it!

[NoirSunset]

~~Oooh John Garfield....Bette Davis....~~

[gabrielharter]

this is entertaining, however, i'm sorry, but RubyTuesday's "Endless NIght" blows this out of the water. the 90's song she chose to accompany her video catches the noir atmosphere a little more accurately than this catchy 60's song. plus, her transitions flow smoother and fit together in a more poignant fasion. keep trying, though! you're close to the right track!

[TheParkusEmpire]

@TheAremo Touch of Evil (1958)

[et7waage1]

Perfect song for a fantastic tribute! Thanks!

[MrSpettacoloso]

Hi! what movie is at 0:35-0:38? thank you

[TheParkusEmpire]

@MrSpettacoloso The Blue Dahlia (1946)

[FilmNoirFreak]

AWSOME TRIBUTE!

[TheParkusEmpire]

You didn't list ,"The Big Combo", doll.

[peruvianwolfe]

GREAT TRIBUTE

[mangaman8]

Whats the film at 1:59 - 2:02?

[TheParkusEmpire]

@mangaman8

"The Killers." The scene is of two hitmen approaching a diner to look for the man they intend to kill (they find him at 1:15-1:27).

[mariespurpleshoes]

OMG!!! This beautiful. Thank you RubyTuesday 717. Fabulous.

[Soundtrackcollector]

Really enjoyed this - thanks.

[sclogse1]

I love touch of evil so much, that at the end of this little tribute, my eyes teared up. What a slob. So, the title, Paint It Black, is great, but forget using the song...it just doesn't add anything to this experience. I recommend music from Barry Adamson, like The Big Bamboozle, from Odeipus Schmodipus. Check it out.

[narozzz]

@sclogse1 - You're right, the song doesn't add anything to the experience - it encapsulates it completely.

[LaiskaKettu]

immense work.

[scifi707]

Great tribute!! Love the clips & song!!

[traceling]

Didn't you forget to list "Murder My Sweet" with Dick Powell?

[BEATNIKCASS]

chickgin. you are a gas

[wolfgar45]

the labies are bad ass.

[webothlovesoup]

This is absolutely brilliant. Love the song and you've edited so well together. I want to watch some film noir now... great!

[brushstrokesrock]

What movie is at 1:07-1:08?

Who is the actress?

Thanks! :)

[golemmingsgo]

It's Janet Leigh (best known as the ill-fated Marion Crane in Pyscho) in Orson Wells' "Touch of Evil."

[brushstrokesrock]

Thanks! I thought it was Grace Kelly.

Great video! ;-D

[drummerjoe2610]

@golemmingsgo i might be wrong, but that looks like humphrey bogart, and he wasn't in touch of evil

[adama0731]

A great tribute to a great genre.

[brushstrokesrock]

Hitchcock's "NOTORIOUS" is also one of the finest film noirs.

I love this video. Nice music, nice films, nice editing...NICE! ;-D

[puck30]

All I can say is...........WOW!

[cha5]

Really nice although you really should have put 'Out Of The Past' in there and maybe 'Chinatown' although that one might be more of a proto Film Noir.

[brushstrokesrock]

'Chinatown' is a Neo-Noir...a really good one! :-D

[agentwred]

this is awesome. well done. I'm in a film noir class right now and its quite fun to see all these clips together.

I recommend the movie Brick. its rather recent, but real small. in a noir set in a high school. its kind of fun.

[RubyTuesday717]

She included Sunset Blvd.; look again at 2:32.

[TopHatNTails1]

fantastic!

[HellsPadlock]

Sweet!!!!! Great opening and closing clip by the way.
