Art Gilmore narrated many, many movie trailers, and short films. To me, he's the voice of the Red Skelton TV show in the late 1960s. So in the late 1970s I would stick around for about 30 seconds of that religious show with Herbert W. Armstrong, just for the Art Gilmore intro.
These film noire classics are becoming very popular. They actually had a plot unlike today's computer generated imagery action flicks. I like the way the director would use shadows, and lighting to set the mood. B & W film was good for this.
"Nightmare in Manhattan," eh? As most of the films from this era that took place in New York had just the one perfunctory montage of stock footage of Times Square (so we know it's New York, get it?), but the rest was from the backlot at whichever studio released it, I guess it was cheaper to transplant the action to California (rather than build a new train station Los Angelesians wouldn't recognize). Just who is this "Bill" Holden, though??? Love your description, Picklepuss!
