Bill and E.J. venture away from silent and cowboy movies for SCV In The Movie’s first ever Film Noir entry!  The connection to SCV may be a skosh thin, but the movie makes up for it by being really good!  Watch Bill and E.J. contort themselves to correlate this 1950 Noir to the Santa Clarita Valley (There’s actually a couple of good connections!)

Disclaimer

For generations, movies have been reflecting the viewpoints and stereotypes of filmmakers, studios and the predominant culture.  Within the films presented in this program, there may be offensive and incorrect portrayals of peoples, cultures, characters and behaviors. SCVTV does not condone these incorrect, outdated and offensive portrayals, but recognizes their existence as part of American and Santa Clarita film history. Stereotypes were wrong when the films were created and are wrong today.  We acknowledge their damaging and harmful effects. We hope that the presentation of the content in this program will enhance our understanding of eras before, lead to dialogue and especially a commitment to more inclusive filmmaking as well as a more equitable and representative future.

The goal of SCV in the Movies is to present films that were created in and by people from the Santa Clarita Valley. We welcome community feedback and ideas about the films and discussions in SCV in the Movies to feedback@scvtv.com.
