- Noir Alley: The Maltese Falcon (1941) intro by Eddie Muller shown on Mar 5, 2017
From TCM's Noir Alley (Saturdays at Midnight ET and Sunday 10am ET) hosted by the Czar of Noir, Eddie Muller.
Love Eddie’s “What is Noir” promo ahead of his intro to “The Maltese Falcon.”
Me too
Fantastic!
Thanks for uploading these for those of us without access to TCM
Invaluable 🙏✅🙏✅🙏
Always a pleasure!
I LOVE NORI! And I love Nori Ally. I wish there was a channel that just showed Nori for 24/7
That would be nice! FWIW, I just found this channel on YT with a search:

Love it😅
Thanks for posting!
It's my pleasure. Enjoy!
Mary Astor was, at the time, scandal personified so her casting was a solid raised middle finger to convention in a then more straight-laced USA, something that John Huston would have found endlessly amusing over drinks with Bogie. The Film Noir moniker is more than apt if you bother to look at French cinema of the 1930s.
What is that old Miles Davis type Noir Alley theme song?
Eddie is a god

Hope the film is half as good as Muller's intro. Jane Greer is criminally seductive in those 2 opening clips.

It’s shadow in black and white filmed in a classy way that comes off as artsy and dangerous and pop culture-ish 😒
What is the film (at 0:40 ) with the tossed flaming Chafing dish?
Raw Deal (1948). Shown Oct 22, 2017 on Noir Alley.
@@NoirFan77 Thank you!
Is this the debut of Eddie's film noir shtick on TCM?
Yes it is. I've broken out the Noir Alley intros/outros into playlists by year: www.youtube.com/@NoirFan77/playlists
@@NoirFan77 Amazing! I hope you have these backed up/archived somewhere. Cheers!
@@jobim9347 Absolutely! BTW strictly speaking this isn't the noir debut of Eddie on TCM, though it is the debut of Noir Alley. Eddie popped up periodically before Noir Alley to introduce and discuss noirs. Most notably to host The Summer of Darkness in 2015. Eddie's intros/outros for that series can be found in the playlist 'TCM Summer of Darkness (2015) Eddie Muller intros and outros' at

wow, thanks for that--I need to check those out now too!
It took years for me to really love the Maltese Falcon. This is because at first, I found it too talky -- especially Mary Astor's droning, rapid, monotone blathering had a tendency to put me to sleep! The picture is very, very talky. There must have been dozens of actresses with more interesting, more pleasant-sounding voices. But I'm nitpicking. Of course, Astor is wonderful. But not as wonderful as Lorre, big Greenstreet, and of course Bogie.
Mary Astor had a lot of trouble establishing herself early in her career because of her unusually low voice (for an actress, of course). I think it worked out very well for her. She also had other talents, including near concert level piano playing, and she wrote well received adult fiction books. Her autobiography is also an excellent read.
