Monday. That Bum Had It Coming. An OT in the Dark

Can't corral my thoughts today so I'll be brief. A whole village sighs relief. 

This year, I've watched eight movies from the classic age of film noir; roughly 1941 - 1958, basically The Maltese Falcon (Huston) to A Touch of Evil (Welles). Two of them were remade in 1964 and 2021 with some mixed results. I watched them too. See if you can guess them by these images.*
