Gimme Three Podcast - A Series For Cinephiles

101 - Noir November

Nicholas Ybarra & Bella Efstratis Episode 101

Before heading into the Holiday season, Noir November could not be ignored. For the first time, Nick & Bella celebrate Noir November with three unforgettable, game-changing classics. 


  • We start with the Humphrey Bogart-led masterpiece and the catalyst for the Film Noir movement, 1941’s The Maltese Falcon
  • Second, Billy Wilder’s bleak, twisted, and sultry classic Double Indemnity
  • Finally, Alfred Hitchcock dipped his toes in the Noir lore with the wildly unnerving Strangers on a Train. 


Nick and Bella also dive into the debate of whether Film Noir is a genre or a style. 


Let us know what you think of these films, and let us know what your favorite Film Noir movie is.
