Thanks!
I didn’t know any of the answers . My Film Noir knowledge doesn’t run further than the few Indicator boxes I have (Columbia Noir).

Re: Do You Know Your Film Noir's?
Here's another one with 30 questions. Good luck
I scored 24 out of 30 !
Quote : "Not bad! You have about an average knowledge of film noir, but we wouldn’t call you an expert just yet. "
Some i knew, others i took a lucky guess on but there was two i should not have got wrong as i was well aware of them.
One was a Marilyn Monroe film noir and the other was "Night and the City" film.

Re: Do You Know Your Film Noir's?
I confess it's only in the last year or two that I have really started investigating film noirs to any great degree. I got 3, 6, and 9 wrong. And number 1 was right - but a guess.
I have been thinking of importing some of Kino's 3-pack film noir blu ray sets - not least because three classic films for £30 is better than the normal one for £20. But at the moment, there are higher things on my wish list!

Accused of being "a nerd in his 20s." I wish.

Re: Do You Know Your Film Noir's?
Found another film noir challenge - you need to select the missing word to 50 questions and u have 15 minutes to do this.
Good luck ... and Enjoy
Can you complete the film noir 1940's movie titles by picking the missing word?
as for me , i achieved 32 out of 50 (66%) with 6 minutes left
