Street of Chance (1942)

Weird choice to add that stylised knife and dagger, getting in the way of her face and causing me to think it was "street of change" for a moment.

Also not being weird but why does Burgess Meredith look like he has 80s eyeshadow amateurishly applied? You do you, Burgess, live your truth.

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (1956)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_a_Reasonable_Doubt_(1956_film)

Wow, lots of the plot laid out in detail for you here. You could turn up a few minutes late and not need to ask questions. That motif of a man and woman running toward the viewer, the man dragging the woman behind him, is a classic of this poster genre.

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.

The Unholy Wife (1957)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unholy_Wife
poster language: Spanish
I love everything about the image of Diana Dors on the left, including that she kind of looks like Hannah Waddingham from Ted Lasso, but also the way the angles of the her arm and her gun complement the angles of her body.

The Spanish doesn't mean "unholy wife" it means "guilty wife", I guess. Maybe "unholy" wasn't right for Catholic countries.
