The Dark Mirror (1946)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Mirror_(1946_film)

Once again, the weapon a woman uses is a pair of scissors, it's quite a theme in these images. Not kitchen knives? Too obvious? Sewing is kind of genteel compared to cooking I guess.

Also I keep looking at those green shadow letters and seeing "DABK WIBBOB" which is really distracting.

"In Italy for thirty years, under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love. They had five hundred years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Journey Into Fear (1943)

This is messy but a strong design, I guess. Some of the faces are scary and some of them are a little comic, particularly Popeye, second from the right.

Riot in Cell Block 11 (1954)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_in_Cell_Block_11

Dramatic image and lighting, the expressions on their faces really make it. Not sure I'd have chosen robins-egg blue for that guy's shirt, it's a rather incongruous note.

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.

Jennifer (1953)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_(1953_film)

The imagery is pretty standard but the wording is wildly over the top. And also confusing. Who's afraid (× 3)? The guy or Jennifer?
