A BRIDGE TOO NOIR

This past weekend Your Humble Narrator made his way west to attend the 25th annual Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival at the Camelot Theatre in Palm Springs, California.

As in past years, the fest offered a slate of black-and-white crime films from the '40s and '50s. Also as in past years, some of them inevitably strained the definition of noir; this year's schedule included a Sherlock Holmes movie, 1944's The Scarlet Claw, and a Western, Day of the Outlaw (1959). But so what? The definition of noir as a genre is nebulous anyway. The point is that the chance to see cool old flicks like these on a movie screen doesn't come along every day. For sheer entertainment, this may be the most reliably enjoyable film festival in the country.

Also on the schedule were such familiar entries as the John Garfield boxing drama Body and Soul (1947), Anthony Mann's outstanding and still relevant 1949 immigration thriller Border Incident, with George Murphy and Ricardo Montalban, and the hard-boiled thrillers Dead Reckoning (1947) and The Enforcer (1951), both starring noir king Humphrey Bogart. But some of us are most likely to be drawn to the relative obscurities.

This year, for instance, brought the opportunity to see No Man of Her Own (1950). In his onstage introduction to the film at the Camelot, TCM Noir Alley host Eddie Muller repeatedly referred to star Barbara Stanwyck as "the greatest actress in movie history." I'd certainly put her in the top five, anyway, and she's in fine, intense form in this adaptation of the classic Cornell Woolrich novel I Married a Dead Man (originally published under his pseudonym, William Irish).

She plays the heck out of a down-on-her-luck pregnant woman who, through circumstances generously described as coincidental, is able to pass herself off as the new daughter-in-law of a wealthy couple whose son has just died. Despite the obvious absurdities of the plot, the film is engrossing and even moving because of Stanwyck's impassioned star performance, and a fine supporting cast including John Lund, Jane Cowl, Phyllis Thaxter, Richard Denning, Milburn Stone, Carole Matthews as no-nonsense femme fatale and Lyle Bettger in a despicable turn as Stanwyck's sneering blackmailer.

The movie also had, for me, a madeleine of Proustian remembrance: Though I hadn't thought about it in years, the scene in which Stanwyck and Thaxter are upended in a train crash came back to me from childhood with the vividness of an acid flashback. I don't think I saw any of the rest of it back then, but that tidbit had been waiting in the memory banks to be revived for at least half a century.

Other gems this year included Escape in the Fog (1945), with the adorable young Nina Foch dodging Axis spies in San Francisco, and the compelling Southern thriller Woman in Hiding, from 1950.

The woman in question is Ida Lupino, who realizes she's made a major mistake marrying creepy Stephen McNally before the honeymoon even starts. Lupino's delicate beauty contrasts with her gutsy, heartfelt spirit, and director Michael Gordon manages a Hitchcock-worthy sequence set in the stairwell of a hotel. The cast includes, along with Lupino's real-life husband Howard Duff, a bit role by Joe Besser, a later-vintage replacement member of the Three Stooges.

But maybe the real oddity of the schedule was Across the Bridge (1957), a British feature based on a Graham Greene short story and starring a mannered and sweaty Rod Steiger--with a German accent, no less!--as a short-fused white-collar criminal dodging extradition in a Mexican border town. On his way south he's thrown another man, who he resembles, off the train and stolen his passport, but he ends up with this guy's soulful-faced spaniel, Delores, dogging his footsteps (sorry) and gazing reproachfully up at him.

Directed by Ken Annakin, Across the Bridge was shown in Palm Springs in a fairly crappy digital copy, but the presenter assured us that they're working to get it properly restored. I hope they succeed. It's just about the most Graham Greene-ish thing ever, full of moral limbo south of the border and Mexican women wearing prominent crucifixes. And of course it's via "Delores" (suffering) that Steiger's rotten fugitive finds a fateful sort of redemption. In terms of performance, by the way, even full-tilt Stieger is no match for the beautiful Delores, who steals the movie like a dropped potato chip.

BONJOUR CARINA! CONGRATS ON 2K LOVELY!!! i mean— think about it. two THOUSAND people in a room. thats a LOT. you deserve it all!

i wanted to do a interpret on what one of the marauders would best fit me! 🤍

i am a slytherin, and my patronus is a tasmanian devil. my hobbies include; piano, dance (mostly ballet, recently got the part of white swan!!), figure skating, lacrosse, and i do a bit of archery. my favorite books are the bell jar or a custom made poem book my mom made me. i have a collection of vinyls, books, and jewelry. my favorite movie is the notebook, the conjuring or little woman. my favorite artists are hozier, cigarettes after sex, taylor swift, the smiths, the police, or ethel cain. my favorite songs are ptolmea by ethel cain, every breath you take by the police, love potions by bj lips, no.1 party anthem (“the look of love” literally made me sob), and do i wanna know cover by hozier. i speak fluent french, russian, english, and spanish since my parents are from moscow + lyon so my last name is confusing as hell. i have really bad anger issues and that being mixed with being a perfectionist sucks because i’ll get pissed off if i can’t get it to look perfect. ive ruined at least one of my leotards because it looked wrong and i got angry and messed it up. alongside crippling anxiety, perfectionism, and anger issues we’ve also got me having low iron! my brain and body just loves me if you can’t tell! 😊 im sarcastic, which you could probably tell by my writing. i’ve been told i act like nina sayers and look like nicole wallace. i have DEADLY blue eyes that i have been told “stare into your soul”, dark brown hair but i swap between that and blonde, and tannish skin with freckles. i tend to isolate myself a lot and my love language is words of affirmation or physical touch. i am for the guys and my celebrity husband is drew starkey + hugh laughton scott. i like chocolate more than anything and i am addicted to coffee, but my best friend is trying to coax me to drink matcha instead because he swears it has more health benefits. i have a lot of friends considering that i have just a SPARKLING personality, but my best friend is a guy and he could perhaps?? like?? me?? anywho!! i have three cats and two dogs, the cats are bengals and my dogs are a dalmation and a daushand. im the oldest sibling and have two half siblings, my parents had me when they were younger and are now not together, i have a step mom who i ADORE and my moms engaged. i love my little brother and sister more than everything (besides my cats, shimmer, sparkle, and shine) even though we have a huge age difference. (literally 11 years.)

anyways ill wrap it up since i was majorly yapping, love u!!

-anon thats vry vry proud of you !! 🤍🤍

hi there beautiful! thank you so much for your kind words<33 i enjoyed your yapping, what a sweet way to take part in my event xx i'm proud of YOU

✶・•・✦・•・✶・✶・•・✦・•・✶

i will INTERPRET for anon thats vry proud of me

carina's 2k celebration

✶・•・✦・•・✶・✶・•・✦・•・✶

i can see you being with poly!rosekiller!

in general, i think you would fit seamlessly in with the slytherin skittles as you have a very defined and sassy personality while also carrying some mental health struggles. that lot essentially came together based on shared trauma and burdens and bonded from there, so you would always have a home with them. rosekiller specifically i think would be attracted to your intense dedication to and passion for your various endeavors. to be so skilled in everything from languages and literature to sports and arts would not escape their attention. barty needs someone who can keep up with him and be able to handle his sudden side quests and missions, and you seemingly not only would but might even join him. meanwhile, it takes a lot to earn evan's respect, but with your opinionated self (in a good way) and strong-headed approach, i think you would, and that is not something he takes lightly. they would cheer you on so hard and show your accomplishments off whenever they could, even perhaps a bit rudely ("did you hear that potter? the white fucking swan, no one cares if you scored a goal in quidditch"). furthermore, they would know how to handle your anger issues and perfectionism without ever making you feel bad or alienated for it. they've already been doing it for each other for years, they've got the whole process in their muscle memory. they are rather direct, but i think that could be a good thing – not allowing you to self-isolate or fall into a spiral of worries, they're just immediately pulling you up and out. they're big on tough love, but in private they are also privy to coddling, whispering love and support as they help you through every step of life.

fav jeff buckley song?????

omg i love this question 😋😋😋😋 unfortunately i have too many favs so this is going to be a very long answer…

my most listened to is def forget her and that song is unmatched, unfortunately i listened to it too much this summer so i don’t listen to it as often anymore 🥲 but i felt like i had to mention it anyways

and for my current favs, and like the ones i’m listening to on repeat recently, it’s been gunshot glitter and jewel box… but all of his songs are so good that i’m constantly changing my current favs 🥲🥲 but i think gunshot glitter is slowly becoming one of my absolute favs…

my favs of all time might be grace (as you can see from my username haha) and the live version of what will you say (specifically the live version i linked)

and also this is a cover so idk if i should count it, but his live cover of nina simone’s that’s all i ask is also an absolute favorite and so so underrated

[teamwindsorroyals]

Parents of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother - born Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon. Claude George Bowes-Lyon, 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne and Cecilia Nina Bowes-Lyon, Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne. I wonder if there is Huguenot history in the family. Claude sounds French not Scottish. The Queen Mother's great grandmother was a Porteous, which is thought to be a Huguenot name.

This is Claude's father. I see more of a resemblance between the Queen Mother and her grandfather than I do to her father. I also see the influence of her mother's jaw line. So much for the "daughter of the cook" rumour.

The Lyon name is from a French noble name de Leonne.

Strawberry Hill – Simber's London Residence

@ber-bonfamille-lyons

Overview:

Strawberry Hill is a 4 bath, 7 bedroom, 3 reception room cottage that dates to the 1400s, but was renovated in the 1700s and again in 2024 before Simber moved in. It is a historical house, so most of the renovations were done with this in mind and has an overall historical vibe to the decor. The pictures tend to swing more modern in style, because it was hard to find the right balance, but I think the dining room photo above and the kitchen give the best feeling of the overall vibe of the house.

It is located in Richmond Upon Thames, an affluent neighborhood just Southwest of London. It is a quick train ride into the city and out of the city as well.

See below for information on individual rooms.

For more notes specifically on the renovation of Strawberry Hill, see this post and this post!

Residents: 

Berlioz Bonfamille-Lyons, Simba Bonfamille-Lyons, Ashlee Bonfamille-Lyons (occasionally), Prince David Bowie, Queen Nina Simone, and Turtle.

Strawberry the ghost: Strawberry is the house ghost. She lived in the house before Simber and was a sorceress. She enjoys playing music and whenever parties are thrown.

**note: pictures in the aesthetic are to give an overall #feel of the house, but don’t necessarily indicate the exact furniture/decorations/floorplan. the floorplan, on the other hand is not quite to scale but i did the best i could.

The Receiving Hall

The receiving hall has a big, open, fresh feeling when you first walk in with eye-catching diamond black and white tile. They kept the vintage globe that was in the room. In the winter, there is sometimes even a fire going in the fire place. The floor does get muddy with the dogs and Simba, lol, but it is usually kept pretty tidy.

The Living Room

The living room has a cozy and colorful vibe, with lots of modern art, but also touches of classic pieces. Including Simba's djembe drums and tapestries on the walls. It is painted a nice pale green that is very bright and cheery. The feature is the large, comfy emerald couch.

The Kitchen

Big windows let in lots of light and look out over the back garden, with a door that goes out onto the small stone patio. The cabinets have a classic feel to them and are painted a nice cream. It probably has a fun, funky wallpaper. The cabinets are more modern marble.

There is a large island in the middle of the room that is an actual island and not a table (like in the picture.) There are stools on one side and this is where Simber sits to eat most of their meals when it is just them.

The Dining Room

Painted maroon with cherry wood furnishings, the dining room is more warm and intimate as opposed to the bright and airy living room, receiving hall, and kitchen. The doors to it are usually closed unless they are entertaining.

Back Garden

The back garden is remarkably large, even for the area. It is also surrounded by trees and shrubbery, giving Simber plenty of privacy. They will probably eventually put up a privacy fence as well, mostly for the dogs.

Other Rooms/Notes on Ground Floor:

The house has a nice flow to it, especially between the living room and kitchen. There are also fire places in every room that work and are used to heat the house in the winter. (Even though they also have had central heating installed.)

Simber's Room and Bathroom:

The best room in the house, of course! Their bedroom is painted a soft purple, with dark purple bedsheets on their large bed. There is a little couch and table in one corner of the room, as well as bookshelves (mostly for Ber's use.) There is also a large dog bed in the corner for the dogs. Some of Berlioz’s favorite maps are also framed and hung on the wall.

The Ballroom:

The ballroom is a room in the house that doesn't get used often, except for entertaining, or when Berlioz feels like playing the piano. But, they leave the door open because it gets great light and the dogs like to go in there to nap in the sun. It is painted a lovely baby pink. Unlike in the picture above, it probably does not have portraits hanging up--though, maybe one that Simba brought from his ancestral home.

Instead, it has some fun modern art, probably of people dancing. (Maybe one even painted by Lou?)

The Office:

This is mostly for storage--of all their records: birth certificates, marriage license, etc. Simba uses it sometimes if he has to work from home, but it doesn't get used by him much.

Other Rooms/Notes on First Floor:

There is a spare bedroom on this floor. It doesn't get used very much, because it is right next to Simber's. (And no one wants to stay there, lbr. Though, they're good and keep their hands to themselves when guests are in the house...usually.) But if they are hosting multiple people, it is the overflow.

Ashlee's Room:

For Art. <3

Rooms and Notes on Second Floor:

The second floor, besides Ashlee's room, is all guest rooms. They are always made up and ready for someone to come stay. They each are themed by a place simber loves/has a connection to. One room is Vegas Wedding Chapel themed and features their wedding dashikis framed on the wall. Another is Paris themed. And the final one is Kenyan themed. <3

There is also a brand new bathroom, in a definite cottage core style with one of those old school sinks. It also has a claw foot tub and a standing shower.

Berlioz's Studio:

Berlioz’s study is a warm and cozy space with organized clutter. The walls are painted charcoal grey, so it’s quite dark in there, but it also has a plush, cozy couch you can fall into. There’s a separate recording booth, and then a desk with his computer on it and a mixing board. He’s got several guitars and a keyboard in there as a well. Various records are hung up kinda like art. 

The Game Room:

The game room is right at the bottom of the stairs. There is a large TV for playing games, as well as several gaming consoles. (Rich boys life.) There are vintage arcade games and a fully stocked snack bar.

Other Rooms/Notes on the Cellar:

This project takes place in the universe that I created based on the premise of Dubois & Co (Pierre Dubois is a French author who wrote a lot of books related to fantasy and folklore). 

It’s a pharmaceutical company which created a shrinking serum for humans. While being shrinked, scientists found microscopic beings. The company based its communication  on the discovery of these people and the exploration of this somewhat new world. 

All the communication is based on art nouveau for its heavy link with ads. It also has a magical aesthetic, which goes well with my project. The same goes for the typography, which I created from A to Z. For the flask I decided to use an apple design, in reference to Nina Ricci’s perfume and to the garden of Eden. There are also references to the “Drink me” potion from Alice in Wonderland. 

The flyer is a good communication tool for this project. It’s made to show the microscopic beings’ diversity and also push curious people to discover more about the serum and eventually lead them to buy it. 

In terms of ecological needs, I decided to not create new transports but to try to accommodate the surrounding environment. A new type of transportation company would go in partnership with Dubois & Co. They would train bees, ladybugs and other insects for ecological and non-harming transportation. The subscription cards are based on the system of public transportation in Lyon.

New York in the 1920s. Max Perkins, a literary editor is the first to sign such subsequent literary greats as Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. When a sprawling, chaotic 1,000-page manuscript by an unknown writer falls into his hands, Perkins is convinced he has discovered a literary genius. Credits: TheMovieDb.

It was more like a commitment and priority given to those undertaking than any other stuffs and that’s why it looked like a genius from others eyes. Though I won’t deny the experience always comes very handy. This film tells the story of ant editor and how he meets one of the best writers of his time. But they two together give the literature world some masterpiece works and that’s the tale the film very genuinely presented to us. This story takes place around the 1930s. An enthusiastic writer and a genius editor develop a strong bond, especially from their professional, but it goes beyond that. When both the families struggle while these two men completely dissolved with their works. So the takes from di...
