Where Danger Lives (1950)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_Danger_Lives

This looks more like the cover of a dime-store novel than a movie poster. And not a good one either. Mitchum looks so awkward.

The Man Who Cheated Himself (1950)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Cheated_Himself

How do you cheat yourself, exactly? That's what they say about cheating on exams, isn't it. “You're only cheating yourself”. Which is clearly nonsense, you're cheating everyone else.

That pose she's in looks very uncomfortable, and he looks like he's saying “Do you hear a weird noise?”.

Panic in the Streets (1950)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panic_in_the_Streets_(film)

It's a nicely minimal image which conveys excitement and something of the setting without giving away that the movie is about a pandemic in the streets ore than a panic.

The Third Man (1949)

poster language: French
The unforgettable creation of Orson Welles, it would seem.

What exactly is that black shape at the bottom obscuring his face?

As usual, the European posters of this era have a much more modern look than the American ones.

Hi! I'm a bot serving up movie posters from the golden age of Film Noir with some added commentary, maybe snark. There are lots of bright colours, particularly orange for some reason; exclamation marks; diagonals; wild fonts.
