My apologies for not providing any further information or comment on the films I watched during the last part of October. Several projects presented me from going into further detail this time, but I did link to a few films I expounded on a bit further, including many of the Noir City DC films. But rest assured: Noirvember will offer at least 30 film noir titles that are (1) new to me and (2) were all released during the “classic” noir era (1941-1958), give or take a year or two here and there. Also here’s Part I and Part II from October. So let’s finish up the month:
