this gun for hire (1942, frank tuttle) / chicago deadline (1949, lewis allen)

Chicago Deadline (Lewis Allen, 1949).

NOIR CITY returns to Chicago's Music Box Theatre August 25 - 31, to celebrate the heart of Hollywood's noir movement with "Film Noir in 1948"! Friday through Sunday screenings will be presented by Eddie Muller, Film Noir Foundation founder and host of TCM's Noir Alley, and films Monday through Thursday will be introduced by FNF board member Alan K. Rode.

Highlights include a 35mm screening of Robert Wise’s BLOOD ON THE MOON on Wednesday, August 30. In this Western noir, Tate Riling (Robert Preston) enlists an old friend and itinerant cowboy Jim Garry (Robert Mitchum) to help with his scheme to force an aging rancher (Tom Tully) to sell his herd at a discount. When Lufton’s daughter Amy (Barbara Bel Geddes) gets involved, Garry must choose between his old loyalties and what he knows to be right. Alan will be singing his book Blood on the Moon an hour before the show starts and during the intermission after the film. Since this is NOIR CITY: Chicago, two films set in the Windy City will screen during the festival. First, Call NORTHSIDE 777, featuring Jimmy Stewart as a crusading reporter determined to free convicted killer Richard Conte whom he believes is innocent, plays on Saturday, August 26. Eddie will be signing his most recent release Eddie Muller's NOIR BAR: Cocktails inspired by the World of Film Noir that day as well, time TBA. Then on Tuesday, August 29, Alan Ladd plays another reporter in CHICAGO DEADLINE, screening in 35mm, who becomes obsessed with finding the truth about the life and death of Rosita (Donna Reed) after discovering her corpse.

Adventures Of Alan Ladd (1949-1951)

Update

Hey guys I didnt mean to disappear the way I did this month, but especially in the more recent weeks. I've been in an UNBEARABLE amount of pain with migraines almost every day for over a week and I may very well have a sinus infection (': Like I WAS diagnosed with chronic sinusitis last year iirc but this is unbearable. My throat hurts, my teeth hurt, my face hurts, I can't breathe out my nose. I feel miserable tbh.

Another reason for absence and being so slow on work is because I came really close to calling the cops on my mother in the middle of a fight not too long ago. I'm certain it would've gotten physical if Popo hadn't walked through the front door when he did. Thankfully things DIDN'T get physical, but I'm still very shaken up about it. I'm in no danger, but I'm getting around to making an official post for my [GoFundMe] that's been successfully published now. That was the last straw I just cannot handle how my cats and I are treated. It's seriously affected my workflow for far too long.

Anyway I could really use some positivity and distraction. I missed this place and I missed you guys, home life has just been.. a lot. And I'm exhausted.

THANK YOU TRACY SPIRIDAKOS FOR PORTRAYING HAILEY UPTON THESE LAST SEVEN YEARS/SEASONS.

Gonna miss you so much but it's been so great having you as Hailey Upton (and 1/2 of Upstead!) -- there's no one else who could've played her and done it justice. I'm sad that she's leaving but it's been one hell of a ride seeing her grow and change as Upton. I wish her nothing but the best as she continues on, and I can't wait to see what's in store for her in season 11 of Chicago PD (whenever that is).

Cody Bellinger unleashes a grand slam to get the Cubs up 6-0 on the Red Sox. He may be back-back, folks. [7/15/23]

*slams Monopoly money on the table* BASEBALL POST ALLOWANCE!!!

I’m gutted for him. I hope, especially given the recent news about what’s happening in his personal life, he had at least some say in this. And if he didn’t, I hope he can at least find a tiny bit of solace in the fact that he got traded so close to home.

I hope this fresh start is good for him. I hope he can work his way back to the pitcher we all know he can be. ❤️

I knew it was coming and it still feels Bad

So I think imma rewrite my summer research essay by hand, focusing on the important parts, letting myself use fancy words and all the passion I feel about the topic, heck with the traditional lit review, I do what I want.

Then I’ll re-type it and send to my mentor.

I know these are only Deadlines predictions but I’m crossing my fingers for The Rookie universe & it makes me happier for Law & Order / One Chicago too! (Full article linked below 👇)
