Ep 6: Profiles in noir, at home and abroad, with Jake Hinkson
Crime novelist Jake Hinkson joins us to discuss his articles about film noir and his other writing. We begin with the upcoming NOIR CITY Chicago festival, featuring a special anniversary screening of L.A. Confidential with author James Ellroy in person, plus some other hard-hitting heist films (2:25). Then we discuss how how Jake got started writing for the FNF's NOIR CITY e-magazine, during the long-ago internet era of Myspace (15:55).
Two of Jake's NOIR CITY profiles focus on lesser-known actors with sad stories off-screen as well as on. We talk about the dramatic and scandalous life of Detour star Tom Neal (17:50) and the ill-fated Peggie Castle, who made striking impressions with great noir performances in 99 River Street and I, The Jury (33:10).
Then we lighten the mood with Jake's article on the B-movie cult classic Wicked Woman, which led to a happy ending off-screen in the lifelong marriage of star Beverly Michaels and director Russell Rouse (45:20). We also share some fun stories about seeing the movie with appreciative audiences at NOIR CITY film festivals (51:45).
We conclude with Jake discussing his approach and themes in his novels and other writing (55:10), plus meeting and talking with his well-read and noir-crazy readers in France (58:30).
