The Film Noir Files for November 2026

Welcome to The Film Noir Files, the noir series here at Shadows and Satin and over at Speakeasy, the blog authored by my pal Kristina, where each month we recommend a film noir feature for you to watch on TCM. We never know what the other has selected until we post, and part of the fun is trying to never pick the same movie! As I did with my Pre-Code Crazy post a few days ago, I’m serving up a post from the Shadows and Satin archives for this month’s Film Noir Files – my recommendation is one of my all-time favorite noirs, The Killing (1956). It boasts an absolutely stellar cast featuring Sterling Hayden, Elisha Cook, Jr. and Marie Windsor – click here to read more about Windsor and her unforgettable character, Sherry Peatty. And be sure to pop over to Kristina’s blog, Speakeasy, to see what film noir gem she’s recommending for November!
