#NoirAlley is on summer break for the month of August but as our host Eddie Muller says, "noir is everywhere."
We'll return on September 7th with an essential classic, OUT OF THE PAST ('47).

Actor & producer @VancityReynolds shares his classic film takes– from the movie that made him fall in love with the Golden Age of Cinema, to dynamic duo doppelgängers, and so much more!
See his full conversation as Guest Programmer tonight with @BenMank77, starting at 8pm ET.

It's a STEEEEEAAAAAMY night on TCM -- we switch to Social Climbers at 11:15/8:15p with RED-HEADED WOMAN, the movie that was so shocking (w/a glimpse of Jean Harlow that would put it in Rated R territory today), marking the beginning of the end of the Pre-Code era! Watch tonight!
Our Hays Gaze spotlight continues tonight with a look at con artist themes in TROUBLE IN PARADISE and THE LADY EVE.
@ThatsTara tells @DaveKarger why this was so popular in storytelling at the time.
Tune in to see both films beginning with TROUBLE IN PARADISE at 8pm ET.

I'm honored to be TCM's guest programmer for #TheHaysGaze, airing tonight at 8/5p. We start off with gangster pics and end with comedies about a topic that was quite controversial in the 1930s -- illegitimate children! Watch and then tell me what you think.
We continue our spotlight on the Hays Code by looking at how Hollywood portrayed gangsters before and after the code was enforced.
Join @ThatsTara and @DaveKarger with SCARFACE ('32) at 8pm ET followed by THE ROARING TWENTIES ('39).

This month, join @DaveKarger and @ThatsTara as we highlight the anniversary and influence of the Hays Code with a series of contrasting film pairings – before and after the implementation of the censorship – that show what was lost and what was gained by its revisionist aims.
Thank you @EddieMuller @noirfoundation and @TCM! These restorations are so important and No greatly appreciated. #FilmNoir
Join us for a special weekend on #NoirAlley featuring two rare films made in Argentina.

Monthly promos, masterfully edited, every single time.
We spring into summer this June as we recognize an array of Fox Stars as our Star of the Month, celebrate #PrideMonth and Juneteeth with special guest @questlove, honor the 80th anniversary of D-Day, spotlight film composers, and more!

Thanks, Bridgette. I’m glad the programming has connected with you. Everyone at @TCM thought this was important to present today. We live in difficult, puzzling times. Understanding our collective histories through these films, I hope, adds some vital perspective. Anyway, thx.
@BenMank77 It’s very painful to watch Shoah. I’m recording both eras so I can take a break. Both sides of my family escaped from Russian pogroms.
It’s hard to believe that after all this time there is so much antisemitism in America and around the world. Thanks for showing this.
PSA: For its 85th anniversary, THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939) is being shown in some theaters this Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday (28, 29, 31). If you’ve only seen it on TV, it’s an amazing experience on the big screen. fathomevents.com/events/the-…

TCM's Christmas marathon features several films noir. Christmas in the Movies author @jt_arn explains how both Christmas films and noir came of age in the 1940s.
One of the best examples of a "Christmas noir" is BLAST OF SILENCE, airing on Monday 12/18 at 9:30pm ET.
