How Every Film Noir Ends

After I posted about Film Noir last week, Miss Cellania posted this hilarious little video on her blog. The comedian and star is the brilliant Alasdair Beckett-King. He has absolutely captured the essence of every Film Noir movie ever made, LOL! 


My favourite part is the deathless line: "You can't learn to have knees, Doris. You either got 'em or you ain't." So, SO true!

  1. They even did the gauze over the camera lens for Doris's closeup!!!

  12. This couldn't be more perfect.

    I can't remember what film; I think it was Victor Mature, but a line a I'll never forget: “That’s life. Whichever way you turn, fate sticks out a foot to trip you.”

  14. Definitely got the dame's razor thin eyebrows right, but take half a point off for the smokeless cigarette. Noir's like bbq, see, if it ain't got smoke, it ain't noir.

  15. The end just made me chuckle - you got cylinders!

  20. That WAS HILARIOUS!! I'm so thankful I have knees.

  21. Brewella's absolutely right about the cigarette smoke! There wasn't even any steam from manhole covers or sidewalk vents... there were also no beards in Film Noir, just 2 or 3 day stubble! That would have been a lot more funny on the dame. It gets a C+ from this grumpy reviewer today, LOL!

  22. Delightful! This is one comedian I’m going to have to look up. I’ve been following the work of Ryan George on YouTube - he does all those “Pitch Meetings” in which he, too, plays both roles, a screenwriter and his boss, as the screenwriter describes his latest story idea for a familiar film or TV series. They never quite make sense and when the boss questions why this or that absurdity, he says, “I don’t know!” Or “Get off my back about that!” He gets it absolutely right, too!

  23. What a set pins on that gal!
    Har-har. :D

    'Get outta here before I fall in love with you!'

  27. I was waiting for the "look over her shoulder" as she walked away, but the shot of her "legs" was waaayy better! :)

  28. Haha! Great fun, Debra. My copy of "The Ice Harvest" by Scott Phillips arrived this afternoon. I'm reading it as soon as I finish my current book. Then I'll look for the film. Have a great weekend!
