A yummy post from Kim Morgan about the brilliant Barbara Stanwyck in 6 film noir films.
You absolutely get why she would think better for herself, and then, in her wounded moments, why she couldn’t quite succeed. But, true to her mystery, you never really understand why. Though Ryan spits, “Don’t kid me, baby. I know a bottle by the label,” he and the viewer never can put their finger on what that label reads. Barbara was never that easy.
