If you’re bereft about the plethora of Red Skelton films on #TCM- which, judging by the posts I’m reading, is pretty much everyone in the ol’ #TCMParty- just think of April as a month of Eleanor Powell and Esther Williams films! #ShipAhoy

Maybe it's just me, but Eddie seems to be injecting just bit of current events commentary into his #NoirAlley outros these days... #TCMParty #TheSteelTrap

OK, so what about suspicious gin rummy/cherries co-worker guy? Is he not going to say anything about that mysterious trip to Rio? #TheSteelTrap #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Re-post of last night's #NoirChecklist for #TheSteelTrap for the morning #TCMParty #NoirAlley crowd:

The head of the bank in #TheSteelTrap, Mr. Bowers, spends more time at the club golfing than everyone except... well, you know. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

A little-known part of #TheSteelTrap is that Jim went on to become a renowned writer of tourist guides giving tips on how to get out of common delays encountered while traveling. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Wow, the can of gray hair spray must've exploded on Claude Akins in makeup... #InheritTheWind #TCMParty

Gene Kelly wearing a straw boater and he's not dancing? #InheritTheWind #TCMParty

I love this western noir interstitial with @eddiemuller.bsky.social. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

#NoirChecklist for #TheSteelTrap: -First person narration -Ordinary guy tempted by greed -Perfect heist gone bad -Comic cabbie -Overbearing score -Exotic locale (after all the airports) -Noirmeister Ernest Laszlo behind the camera -Ill-advised blonde wig/dye job #NoirAlley #TCMParty

"How about a little gin rummy? It'll quiet you down." "I'll get the table." I guess that's what people did before Xanax? #TheSteelTrap #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Well, Customs Guy is quite the dedicated public servant... "Ahh, the hell with it. Why should I stick my neck out?" #TheSteelTrap #NoirAlley #TCMParty

You can really hear the difference in the location audio that Eddie was talking about in the intro in this customs office scene. #TheSteelTrap #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Every airline clerk's red flags just going off like: #TheSteelTrap #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Jim seems a tad overdressed for touring the French Quarter. #TheSteelTrap #NoirAlley #TCMParty

"DO YOU MIND!" Jim is a real peach to all the service people. #TheSteelTrap #NoirAlley #TCMParty

"Chicago Southern" sounds more like a railroad than an airline. No wonder Jim is having trouble booking a fare. #TheSteelTrap #NoirAlley #TCMParty

"He'll take you to the meteorologist?" Airlines used to do that? #TheSteelTrap #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Teresa Wright hasn't really been given much to do in #TheSteelTrap besides saying, "Ohhh, Jim!", so I hope she cashed a nice check. #NoirAlley #TCMParty
