Another great beginning is Where the Sidewalk Ends, is the second movie with Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney. The more famous one is Laura. And Where the Sidewalk Ends, I think also made by Otto Premier is a great role for Dana Andrews, because he's, he's a cop, but he he's like the son of a criminal. And is he's really a tortured character. But the very beginning has this incredibly great music by Alfred Newman called streetscene over the opening credits, and that's that's fabulous. But you know, speaking of music, I I mentioned how big sleep you have the those songs in the background is soundtracks are very important and reflect the genius of the songwriters of that time. And how you know, the songs really fit either an ironic counterpoint or illustration of what is going on in the movie. And at the end of it, big sleep, you know, the last shot and The Big Sleep is to cigarettes in an ashtray. That's the closing shot. And that has very good music but I think Max stunning figures Max Steiner, yeah, but there's a so there's lots of great examples of how you know, in out of the past, you'll hear, Come out come out wherever you are or what songs they've chosen. And but in my view, one of the great uses of music in that period was not in A in a noir that is in the Noir's David racks and his most famous piece of music is the theme from Laura. In Double Indemnity, you're going to hear Schubert's unfinished, and tangerine in the same scene, that's, you're gonna get the slow movement of the Schubert and the song tangerine. She is all a claim. It's a great song Victor skirts are with the Johnny Mercer alert. So, you know all of these because things how little we know in to have and have not. And so I read about a lot of these. But there was one movie that could not be called no Noir. And yet, I think the music is magnificent. Now. This is the best years of our lives. And Frederick March is one of the three guys who's come home from the war. And when hewalks into the apartment, where he his wife, Myrna Loy. There's actually a scene where he's standing here and she's standing there and it's a long card. And it's sort of like, if it's a tear jerker. This is where the tears are beginning to form. And Frederick March, the dad gives his son some souvenirs that he got from Japan from the battlefield in the Pacific. And the son is like, not as impressed with this the sword the Japanese sword, this souvenirs? Well, that night, they all the guys who have returned and their wives, girlfriends daughters, all wind up at a bar owned by Hoagy Carmichael, who you know, is one of the great songwriters and who plays pianos and Frederick marks got to you know, He's completely drunk. He has to drunk scenes in this movie. They're really good. He says, you know, among nice souvenirs, and Hoagy Carmichael places a wonderful saw. And, and they're, well, it comes home. And the next morning when he wakes up, he sees a photo of his wife. And that's a real souvenir that's much. And in this any sunny among my souvenirs in the shower, and the music is in the background. So it governs this entire scene. The only problem is the Best Years of Our Lives ends with a wedding and an engagement and then a happy couple. So what's it going to do in my book, but I thought, you know, I thought it's an it's an anti noir, you know, so this is what I wrote. A drunken Frederic March and his game wife, Myrna Loy dance to among my souvenirs on his first night back from the war in the best years of our lives. Although the movie is not a noir love conquers all, and no one dies. The Best Years of Our Lives is from the noir era, the black and white 1940s and can't be seen to represent an equal and opposite impulse and anti noir in the movie are disabled servicemen who has hooks for hands, and an Air Force hotshot who can't hold the job, even the lowly job of being a soda jerk, fixing Sundays for kids in a drugstore. If we were in a noir handless Homer Parish, and fallen angel of the Air Force Fred dairy. Dean Andrews would team up with perhaps the Army vet who needs a loan to buy the land for a farm, but does not meet the understanding bank executive played by Frederick Martin. So the three plot to rob the bank, and while they plan and rehearse the crime, they pair off with dame's they meet at the bar, where the piano player funds the operation and plays the day. The night we called it the day. The man was hooked for hands as qualms about shooting an armed guard, but the ex pilot overrules him. It's easy to have ethics when you're ahead in the game, he says, clinging to the roughneck would be farmer, the tipsy nightclubs singer says, Please lend. I'm begging you. Tell me I'm a woman. About But we are not in Anwar and director William Wyler's use of among my souvenirs is too good to go unmentioned. And then I have a really brilliant paragraph that says what I was saying in an improvised way before about the use of music in the best years of our lives, but it's much better and Ryan you should just meet who said I'll read it. It says trinkets and tokens diligently collected, offer some consolation, which is a phrase in the song
