Iron Man (1951)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Man_(1951_film)

I am totally out of "Iron Man" jokes. I don't even think I'm going to see the new Captain America. Marvel was always my first love but seriously. After "Secret Invasion", come on. You're going to have to win me back.

A boxer, his bare chest glistening, his face resolute; a woman with a loving expression leaning on one elbow; a boxing match, one fighter going down; a man's face looking intently, his fist clenched. Poster for the 1951 movie “Iron Man” starring Jeff Chandler, Evelyn Keyes, Stephen McNally.

The Dark Corner (1946)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Corner

This is … unusual for this collection. Simple, stark images. One of which we could discard altogether. That face, the angle of that shadow, the golden light setting off her red hair, terrific stuff. If only one could forget it was Lucille Ball and take her seriously.

A woman's face, with a diagonal shadow falling across it. A man in suit and fedora holding a gun pointed out at the viewer. Poster for the 1946 movie “The Dark Corner” starring Lucille Ball, Clifton Webb, William Bendix, Mark Stevens.

The Fallen Idol (1948)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fallen_Idol_(film)

Borderline not-film-noir here but I'm a huge Greene fan and the poster is great. Creepy child for extra points, plus nice hints of the plot given by the pillar and the banisters.

Child star Bobby Henrey made only one other film.

The face of a small boy looking out from behind a pillar. A man and woman in an apparent struggle, banisters behind them. Poster for the 1948 movie “The Fallen Idol” starring Ralph Richardson, Bobby Henrey, Michèle Morgan, Denis O'Dea, Jack Hawkins .

Man Hunt (1941)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_Hunt_(1941_film)

For once, the woman is dressed in the trench coat. Also weirdly this is two in a row where the woman is holding a newspaper in her left hand. Possibly the only poster in the collection where someone is holding a gun casually. "This old thing? Yeah just taking it to my gun guy for a service".

A man in military uniform with a long gun under one arm; a man's apprehensive staring face; a woman in a trench coat holding a newspaper in one hand, the other raised in concern; men with guns and bloodhounds seen walking through reeds. Poster for the 1941 movie “Man Hunt” starring Walter Pidgeon, Joan Bennett, George Sanders.

Lured (1947)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lured

Lovely central image, who needs the vignettes of the male stars, put them at the bottom next time.

All I can see in these unprecedented times is her Palestinian scarf.

A woman in a trench coat and red-and-white scarf holds a handgun and a newspaper with a determined expression, abstract whirlwind shapes around her. Inset, vignettes of the male stars. Poster for the 1947 movie “Lured” starring George Sanders, Lucille Ball, Charles Coburn, Cedric Hardwicke, Boris Karloff.

Step Down to Terror (1958)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_Down_to_Terror

Is that blood on the floor? Why does it match his tie exactly? It's a lot of blood if she's only now collapsing to the floor.

If someone is doing a PhD on these images, don't forget staircases. Staircases, gantries, railings, balconies. I guess there was lots of construction work going on post-war?

In the background , a long flight of stairs with a man holding a gun at the top. In the foreground a collapsing woman. Superimposed a man's face, dramatically lit, with an expression of horror. There is a suggestion of blood on the ground which matches up with the tie worn by the man. Poster for the 1958 movie “Step Down to Terror” starring Colleen Miller, Charles Drake, Rod Taylor.

Ministry of Fear (1944)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Fear

For some reason I feel like that woman in the background is a fortune-teller/psychic/medium, though I can's quite say why. The earrings? The expression? Maybe I've got some kind of signal mix-up between 40s culture and today.

In the background, a woman's face lit dramatically from below and a man on one knee over a supine figure. The foreground shows a man and woman looking apprehensive. Poster for the 1944 movie “Ministry of Fear” starring Ray Milland, Marjorie Reynolds.

Human Desire (1954)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Desire

Wow, five images and four of them are of men behaving aggressively toward women? Plus one ambiguous one, two people embracing in a phone booth maybe? With one shoe visible for some reason.

A man and woman struggling; a man and woman embracing in a narrow area, perhaps a telephone booth; a man holding a woman from behind, one hand on her shoulder and the other in her hair; sketchy images of a man apparently slapping a woman and a man standing accusingly over a reclining woman. Poster for the 1954 movie “Human Desire” starring Glenn Ford, Gloria Grahame, Broderick Crawford .

They Made Me a Killer (1946)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Made_Me_a_Killer

Why is his clothing so white? Why is the word "killer" being crossed out by a bullet, effectively cancelling the message of the title? Why is the angle of his gun so awkward?

Main image: a man in a white suit holding a handgun; superimposed, a red-haired woman in red blouse and skirt looking apprehensive; a speeding car. The word "killer" in the title is being crossed by a speeding bullet. Poster for the 1946 movie “They Made Me a Killer” starring Robert Lowery, Barbara Britton.

Brute Force (1947)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute_Force_(1947_film)
poster language: Italian
Good lord, the raw sexuality of Lancaster has me fanning myself like a southern belle. The slightly ambiguous shadows across the right side mean I don't know whether or not he has a moustache though.

A woman looks proudly out of frame, next to a resolute-looking bare-chested man; also a sketched scene of a prison riot with guards firing on prisoners. Poster for the 1947 movie “Brute Force” starring Burt Lancaster, Hume Cronyn, Charles Bickford. Poster for the 1947 movie “Brute Force” starring

Lady from Shanghai (1947)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lady_from_Shanghai

Great stuff, it's disjointed and disorienting but that's on purpose. Her hair really sticks out tonally and sort of matches the yellow of the title.

A man and a woman in an ambiguous embrace, reflected five times in multiple funhouse mirrors. Poster for the 1947 movie “Lady from Shanghai” starring Rita Hayworth, Orson Welles, Everett Sloane, Glenn Anders .

Across the Bridge (1957)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Across_the_Bridge_(film)

Cute dog! It's not often you see a spaniel in a Film Noir. I haven't watched it or read the Graham Greene story so someone should probably let me know how crucial Dolores is to the plot. Yes I researched the dog and you should too.

Odds Against Tomorrow (1959)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odds_Against_Tomorrow
poster language: Japanese
Another Japanese one, another terrific composition. This is a truly interesting movie for the time, not a huge spoiler but "don't hire racists" is kind of the moral. In these days when DEI is on everyone's lips it might be a good time for a re-watch.

Main image, a man with a furious expression pointing a gun; other images of a street scene and of a man pointing a gun along a railing he's clutching with his other hand, all at diagonal angles. Poster for the 1959 movie “Odds Against Tomorrow” starring Harry Belafonte, Robert Ryan, Shelley Winters, Ed Begley, Gloria Grahame, Will Kuluva, Kim Hamilton, Mae Barnes, Carmen De Lavallade, Richard Bright, Lew Gallo.

The Devil Thumbs a Ride (1947)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil_Thumbs_a_Ride

This is kind of hilarious, is it just me?

His expression is too broad even for Victorian melodrama, and there's a tiny gun floating in the air in front of him.

A man's face with a very intense expression looks out at the viewer; a handgun floats, outlined in yellow-green light over his forehead; a man and woman about to kiss; a man sitting on a chair next to an apparently unconscious man. Poster for the 1947 movie “The Devil Thumbs a Ride” starring Lawrence Tierney, Ted North, Nan Leslie.

Crime Wave (1954)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_Wave_(1954_film)

I don't know if the burgundy tones here make it darker and more threatening, a hint of blood, or if it's ugly and too dark. Is that man on the right wearing a black glove or is that just how they're depicting his hand?

Also known as “The City Is Dark”.

A man standing over a figure on the ground, a smoking gun in his hand; a cityscape with a policeman shooting toward a man in the distance; a woman with her hands up in defence as a man leans toward her; other vignettes from the film: a man and woman on a bed, a man being arrested, a man staring out at the viewer smoking a cigarette.

The Las Vegas Story (1952)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Las_Vegas_Story_(film)

Love this, the image of luxury and her cold, gold-digger expression, barely acknowledging the jewellery, everything undercut a little by the trashy neon depicting where all that money came from, I guess.

A woman in an off-the-shoulder golden dress looks coldly at a man who is embracing her from behind, one hand holding her hand, the other holding out an elaborate diamond necklace. Also a stylised streetscape with neon signs for casinos. Poster for the 1952 movie “The Las Vegas Story” starring Jane Russell, Victor Mature, Vincent Price, Hoagy Carmichael.

High Sierra (1941)

poster language: Spanish
This is my pinned image. It has nearly everything I love about these posters but is so exaggerated it attains the status of art.

A man seen in exaggerated perspective, diagonally across the image, holds the point of a rocky outcrop with one hand as he fires a a handgun downward. Poster for the 1941 movie “High Sierra” starring Ida Lupino, Humphrey Bogart, Alan Curtis.

The Locket (1946)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Locket_(1946_film)

It's a weirdly romance-like image rather than noirish, right? Wikipedia has gone with "psychological thriller", you'll note.

Every post here comes with a Wikipedia link, in case it wasn't 100% obvious. Many of them to the correct movie.

Main image: a woman with red hair and blue eyes stares moodily out at the viewer. Also a man and woman in closeup, in a mutual embrace. Poster for the 1946 movie “The Locket” starring Laraine Day, Brian Aherne, Robert Mitchum, Gene Raymond.

Niagara (1953)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_(1953_film)
poster language: Japanese
This is almost offensively minimalistic, considering all the drama and, you know, waterfalls they could have chosen. Yet another ambiguous embrace, the man stern and threatening, his actions on the edge of violence; the woman not resisting.

Do those shapes at the bottom mean something or are they just blotches? Tasmania, everyone sees it, right?

A man and woman, him gripping her upper arms forcefully, her laughing in his face rather than protesting. Other images of a woman's face and of a man and woman's faces close together.

Repeat Performance (1947)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeat_Performance

Woman holding a smoking handgun, as depicted by someone who has never seen a handgun, or indeed smoke.

I love the shadow of her hand falling across her chest, and her expression, which is kind of "seriously, I had to shoot someone again?" rather than anger.

In the background, blue-toned images of a woman's stern face; a man and woma in an embrace; two men's faces with serious expressions. Main image, a red-headed woman in an off-the-shoulder white dress holding a smoking handgun. Poster for the 1947 movie “Repeat Performance” starring Louis Hayward, Joan Leslie, Tom Conway.

Slightly Scarlet (1956)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slightly_Scarlet_(1956_film)

How can something be "slightly" scarlet? You're either scarlet or you're not. People who know colour theory please chime in.

How many times have I typed "red headed woman in a green dress" in doing the Alt text for these things? I honestly might do some kind of histogram.

A red-headed woman in a green dress; a man in a suit; a woman with a joyful smile leaning back with her legs revealed by her dress. Poster for the 1956 movie “Slightly Scarlet” starring John Payne, Rhonda Fleming, Arlene Dahl.

Le Samourai (1967)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Samouraï

Delon here looks like History's Greatest Acting Robot, but the amount of emotion in Nathalie Delon's pose does a ton of work. She's defensive, she's possessive, she's undecided, I love how much that depiction contributes.

A red-headed woman, her bare arm up to her face defensively, looks across at a man in a trench coat pointing a handgun. Main image, a man falling down, one hands upraised and one clutching at his bleeding chest, with stacks of money in the air around him. Poster for the 1967 movie “Le Samourai” starring Alain Delon, François Périer, Nathalie Delon, Cathy Rosier .

The Bonnie Parker Story (1958)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bonnie_Parker_Story

Curiously feminist for the era that the movie is the Bonnie story not the Bonnie and Clyde story. Also curious how much they focus on her smoking of cigars rather than, you know, her committing a huge number of violent crimes.

A woman with a cigar/cheroot in her mouth is firing a tommy gun across the frame, a fierce expression on her face. Bullet holes are seen behind her. Poster for the 1958 movie “The Bonnie Parker Story” starring Dorothy Provine, Jack Hogan, Richard Bakalyan.

D.O.A. (1949)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D.O.A._(1950_film)
poster language: Danish
"Shining Poison" in Danish. I don't know if that's a better title than "D.O.A." but at least it isn't called "I Solved My Own Murder" or something too literal.

Is that some kind of label tied around his waist? Weird and distracting.

A stylised outline of a man in the middle of collapsing; a woman smiling out at the viewer; a man holding a luminous test tube looking across at another man who has a shocked expression.

The Long Haul (1957)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Haul_(1957_film)
poster language: Japanese
Lovely Japanese vibe, totally different layout and style to the American posters of the same era.

I am very confused by that sepia image lower right, someone is in front of a truck? The truck has crashed or sunk or something? Someone is throwing a box to the guy or he's throwing a box?

Main image: a man and woman in a car seen from inside the car at a dramatic angle, him driving, her clutching his shoulder; also a woman in a short strapless dress, leaning back, her legs on show; a man pointing a gun out of frame, his other hand restraining a woman; a man in front of a truck with a box being thrown across the frame.

I The Jury (1953)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,the_Jury(1953_film)

Early 3-D as denoted by … a stack of books receding into the distance?

Mickey Spillane was so huge in his day and is pretty much 100% forgotten now. Is he out of copyright or up for grabs? Someone should be mining that deep vein of misogynist exploitation claptrap. Probably Bezos at this point.

The repeated cover of the book on which the movie is based, leading off in perspective from lower left to upper right. The cover depicts a man from behind holding a gun pointed at a blonde woman who is apparently undressing.

Dial Red O (1955)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dial_Red_O

Lots going on her, most of it confused and disjointed. Putting the name of the movie and its "O" directly over the "0" of the dial, come on. Overly literal. Also would have been better to put the whole dial in there, it's a circle after all.

A man grabs another man by the shoulder from behind, a handgun upraised in his other hand. Also: a police car; a woman seated in a revealing dress, her legs on show; a woman looking apprehensive, her hand to her face; a telephone dial with the movie's title superimposed, the "O" in the name over the zero on the dial.

Tear Gas Squad (1940)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tear_Gas_Squad

It's not subtle, is it? Lots of Film Noir Movie Posters's favourite colour, orange, and direction, diagonal.

Also now I have the classic Cold Chisel song "My Turn To Cry" going through my head. Anyone who doesn't know Cold Chisel, an amazing Australian rock band, get on that google search right away.

A man grabbing another man by the collar, both looking angry; a blonde woman looking out at the viewer; a man in captain's hat also looking out; a man on one knee, shooting up at an angle, a figure on the ground behind him. Text: "OKAY, RAT!… IT'S YOUR TURN TO CRY!". Poster for the 1940 movie “Tear Gas Squad” starring Dennis Morgan, John Payne, Gloria Dickson.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guilty_(1947_film)

Good use of the space, good contrast between the black and white and colour … does it really work? No, it's clunky. Doesn't anything dramatic happen in this drama which you could put on the poster?

A tall vertical poster, at the top a black and white photograph of a woman staring out at the viewer; below a man in trenchcoat and fedora looking apprehensively out of frame, his face dramatically lit from below.

Man Afraid (1957)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_Afraid

If you just put "Man Afraid" on the poster it would be boring. Canting it over 20º and putting a meaningless box around it makes it cool.

Phyllis Thaxter has way too many consonants in her name, please remove three. I am not a crackpot.

Main image: a man and woman looking apprehensively out of frame. Also a stylised sketch of a man hiding behind a pillar in some kind of building as another man approaches. Poster for the 1957 movie “Man Afraid” starring George Nader, Phyllis Thaxter, Tim Hovey.

Love the layout, love the contrast in images, don't love the font, it's too light-hearted.

Where is that Ida Lupino biopic all Film Noir Movie Posters fans all agree is overdue? I'd even accept Netflix doing it at this point.

A woman in a how-cut dress leans seductively across the image, looking out at the viewer; also a man lighting a cigarette in a night-time scene; a man threatening another man with a nightstick-type weapon.

This movie was unusual for its time in its depiction of racial issues. Something for fans of "Interior Chinatown" to check out I'd say. Charles Yu is a great writer, everyone.

“As [a convicted man's] execution date approaches, his friends and a sympathetic detective frantically search for his alibi, a woman with whom he'd gone to a Broadway show the night of the murder.” Wikipedia.

Main image: the cover of a book in spooky blue and white tones, depicting a woman heading right but looking over her shoulder, and the movie's title.

I'm a sucker for anything where the image breaks out of its box and I love his hand doing that lower right.

It's just a "moment" in Italian, apparently, no recklessness allowed.

I keep starting to watch this film but something always interrupts me. Fate does not want me to see it. Is there a Memento version where I can start from the end?
