Heya Texas,

Bogart and Bacall, the first I think (1944?): "To have, and to have not". Gads, she was a beautiful creature!

Little known, "Double-indemnity". You can see why Barbara Stanwyck was never typecast as "demure".

Bogart again, but again little known: "The Caine Mutiny" not quite film noir, but has a dark element of humanity

Pretty much any non-western with Robert Mitchum. Esp. menacing in "Cape Fear" (1962) opposite Gregory Peck also "The Big Sleep" ? Many were in color.

and absolutely not a film noir, but almost the last (1964) of the near-perfect black and white films: "The Americanization of Emily" with James Garner and Julie Andrews.

Enjoy. There is much good stuff out there! Never forget Gene Kelly movies for a lift.
