This is one of the best mashups I've ever seen on Youtube. I really mean that. Fantastic song choice, fantastic film choices, fantastic mixing. 13 people need to be chased through the sewers.
I cannot praise this video enough, nor the incredible amount of time and effort that must have gone into it. I love film noir, and no tribute will ever bring out it's mood, it's greatness, or it's coolness better than your video here. True class. Thank you RubyTuesday717!
This is just so brilliant - can't even begin to express how much I admire this. The edit is perfect and the little things you did with it (like the last few minutes of clips revealing a final descent - all the walking down staircases and elevators going down etc) are perfect. You should be a film-maker or editor. If you aren't already.
This is awesome. I could watch it all night. Film noir, whatever it may be, may be Hollywood's greatest contribution to cinema art. If you ever do another similar video, I have requests (for films to use I mean :)
@beachhutblues Make it in any language as long as it is not English? You have no clue what film noir is. I suggest you go onto wikipedia and look it up. Many people have the mistaken impression that film noir is something European because of the term "film noir". But the term was coined by French critics to describe a certain kind of American film that came about during and just after WWII. Look it up
Fantastic. Mesmerizing. I saw images I've never seen. Please give us a list of the films you pulled from for reference. Incredible job. The music, editing and choice of shots is flawless.
Honestly, I haven't seen a better tribute to film noir. Profound--the choice of music, the syncopation, the timing of the clips, everything. Great job!
This is brilliantly put together RubyTuesday, it must have taken ages but it's good to see so many of us appreciate what you've done - must make it all worthwhile.
I run a film club in Abu Dhabi and we have just started 10 weeks of looking at film noir, and to support it I have a group on Facebook, I am posting this on the group page there.
@Dylonator well since none of those qualify as classic film noir, which is clearly the standard for this amazing tribute, let's try and keep from getting all self-important.
@Dylonator well since it's considered one of the first major heist films and doesn't possess really any of the characteristics of a classic noir other than the most cursory of aesthetics ,whether or not it can be considered film noir is debatable, I've seen it listed as both but more often as a heist film which is simply grouped in with noir for better or worse.
Quite possibly the best video on YouTube. Everything about it is perfect, from your hitting the beat to the voiceovers (especially Uncle Charlie's from my all-time favorite noir, Shadow of a Doubt).
You got just about all my favorite noirs, too. Awesome.
Nice tribute to the genre, I did one myself, in the form of a short film called, "The Third Defenestration", in which I try to include as many of the classic noir elements I can, in only seven minutes. You can find it on my channel.
I actually came across this video while editing, when I was trying to find a soundtrack(I ended up using "The Killing") by a link from a page selling noir soundtracks. I see from the comments this is often used as an introduction to the genre, I think that's good.
My instructor for "Intro to Film and Media" showed this as the lead-in for our section on Film Noir. One of the films we watched was Orson Wells "Touch of Evil." Really love your tribute. Seems to capture the feeling of "film noir."
@megamatt53 4 months late, but it went very well thank you. It's started doing the rounds in Film festivals :) It's been to a local film fest and is going to the London Short Film festival :)
My Top-10 Film Noir list: 1. Nightmare Alley 2. Touch of Evil 3. Out of the Past 4. The Set-Up 5. Champion 6. Pursued (a western and noir hybrid) 7. Raw Deal 8. The Prowler 9. Moonrise 10. The Killing
Most of the time when people do tributes on youtube for anything, it always end up being corny for whatever reason. But I love this tribute to all films noir- I think this is composed very cleverly :)
Stumbled across this while searching for trailer for The Killers. WOW!! Thank you for all the time and effort you devoted to this project. Absolutely brilliant!
@poisonpoisoning, here's some recommendations to start with: Double Indemnity (1944) Laura (1944) The Killers (1946) Out Of The Past (1947) Kiss Of Death (1947) The Maltese Falcon (1941) Murder, My Sweet (1944) In A Lonely Place (1950) Gilda (1946) The Big Heat (1953) The Big Sleep (1946) Scarlet Street (1945) Touch Of Evil (1958)
I've watched this at least ten times...never fails to thrill.....I posted it on You Tube...how strange that the music of this current band lends itself so well to the images of classic film.
Brilliantly compiled and edited. Claire Trevor's face reflected in the clock in "Raw Deal", would have been a nice touch but hey, we can't have everything!
I revisited this video this morning after talking about film noir with a friend yesterday. (She's new to the genre) I first saw it at Noir City 8 and was stunned by how utterly beautiful and brilliant executed this video was/is! It still put a huge smile on my face after reviewing it today. It felt just like the first time I saw it! Excited, breathless and mesmerized! Fantastic work! I hope to see more of your work in the future! All the best to you!
@TheMaskedJohnson Yeah, I tried to do as many noirs as I could get my hands on, but not all and this isn't meant to be a video catalogue of all the noirs ever made. I only saw BORN TO KILL a year after uploading this video (and had I seen it I surely would've included it; it actually made the cut in my SF Crime video, which you can check out). And I have not seen THE NAKED CITY.
@mashutka3 I think what you are seeing at that time is intercutting from two different films: The Letter (Bette Davis) and Double Indemnity (Barbara Stanwyck.)
@artchel1 Really? It's so cool to get these messages that this was shown at schools; I've gotten film classes, sociology classes and now art classes. Was it a sort of media art class or something?
oh no. it was just a basic art class like...painting and stuff. we have to draw a dark picture sketch so our teacher showed us this to get the idea and stuff.
Ma'am I have now seen all but two of the films in your video, and over a hundred and fifty others; mostly lesser quality, but B gems arent all that rare. If you have the time, I'd like to discuss the films in the most efficient manor possibly and get to know another noir enthusiast. My metropolis is devoid. The name is Bradley William Cole from Toronto and I have Lillian Gish as my facebook display. We can begin discussion there or if youd prefer to PM me with another method, I'm listening.
Amazing this is great hel for a role I'm playing in a film Noir styled musical so seeing this really helps firm up my character. ;D Being a possibly deranged ex-cop now PI is hard.
@brianallancobb That's Martha Vickers in THE BIG SLEEP. Unfortunately she's not in many memorable movies, and it's rumored she was so good in Hawks' comedy noir that many of her scenes were left on the cutting room floor.
@TheYella20 Because the studio's biggest reason for making this movie was to recapture the Bogart/Bacall magic, and if it meant cutting other people's roles down to make room for their chemistry, they would do it. Personally, I think they failed; Dorothy Malone's cameo as the bookstore keeper packs more sparks than any dialogue about horse racing.
@RubyTuesday717 I thoroughly agree with you. The bookstore scene was awesome. Funny how in the book it was completely different. Big Sleep is still my favorite of the Hard boiled detective films I've seen.
@fireoutlaw23 My favorite film of all time is the noir masterpiece IN A LONELY PLACE, which contains the finest performance Humphrey Bogart ever gave. I love it because of how real the characters and their loving but ultimately doomed relationship is portrayed...there aren't enough words to explain why I love it so much. You just have to experience it.
0:39 (of the man lighting a cigarette) is from Louis Malle's ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS (a French noir); 0:56 (of a guy taking out a cigarette in a darkened room) is from the same film. It's highly recommended and has a killer jazz score by none other than Miles Davis.
Awesome job! Thanks so much from all us film noir aficionados!

How to make film noir...
1. Fit a graduated grey filter over your cameras lens.
2. Process your film for maximum contrast.
3. Make it in any language as long as its not English.
4. Always have a script that makes no sense, has no beginning, no middle, and no end.
5. Include as much sex as possible, with both parties involved either looking as bored as possible, or eating food off of each others bodies.
6. Talk about Nazi's at the press launch.
7. Always have a dwarf or albino in your film.

Does anyone know the film at 5:55 - with the guy falling down, landing in front of and looking right in to the camera?

@BylerTarton00 That's Billy Wilder's masterpiece ACE IN THE HOLE.

@rpayton13 I'm not quite sure, but the guy at 4:41 is Burt Lancaster in BRUTE FORCE, loosely based on the uprising at Alcatraz Prison.

Do you have a favorite noir RubyTuesday? I just started watching a lot of them on your list.

@fireoutlaw23 My favorite film of all time is the noir masterpiece IN A LONELY PLACE, which contains the finest performance Humphrey Bogart ever gave. I love it because of how real the characters and their loving but ultimately doomed relationship is portrayed...there aren't enough words to explain why I love it so much. You just have to experience it.

This is an amazing video. Any chance that you might post a higher resolution version?

What a terrific job! It made me fall all over in love with the genre again!
One thing, I wonder if you could tell me where the scenes 0:39 and 0:56 came from?

@0rommel0
0:39 (of the man lighting a cigarette) is from Louis Malle's ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS (a French noir); 0:56 (of a guy taking out a cigarette in a darkened room) is from the same film. It's highly recommended and has a killer jazz score by none other than Miles Davis.

And thank you for the information! I'll definitely check it up! <3
