THE BURGLAR (1957) – a well-made noir with plenty of wonderful locations in Philadelphia and South Jersey, even if missing one of David Goodis’s greatest endings in his 1953 source novel (though he did the sc. as well): #filmnoir #noirfiction #crimefiction

Fritz Lang’s “Scarlet Street” (1945) is proof positive that a director can remake his own work (“Woman in the Window, 1944) and improve on it. In this case, he gave the former an ending the latter should have had. In photo, Edward G. Robinson. #filmnoir

The prolific Barry N. Malzberg (1939-2024) aimed his skill to numerous genres and themes, and did he take it to the movies in these two wonderfully idiosyncratic novels, available from Stark House Press: starkhousepress.com/malzberg.php #cinema #filmsky #weirdfiction
