Noir-vember begins with what Paul Schrader once called, "Film Noir's Epitaph." A strange place to start, sure, but this is one of the best noirs there is. We discuss Orson Welles' return to Hollywood and the familiar story of a troubled post-production. We also discuss the various cuts and the various stories about the film's production. After we discuss the history, we begin a discussion about the various plot elements which interested us, and end the podcast with two double bills for your viewing pleasure!
