With as little a preamble as you need- though one that contains quite a lot of material - David Robert Mitchell’s film soon cuts to the chases and offers… ## [Noir Nook: Pre-Code Films with Film Noir Flavor – Part 2](https://www.classicmoviehub.com/blog/noir-nook-pre-code-films-with-film-noir-flavor-part-2/) _2026-08-20 · Karen Burroughs Hannsberry · Classic Movie Hub Blog_ Pre-Code Films with Film Noir Flavor – Part 2 Next to film noir, my favorite era of filmmaking is pre-Code – and it’s no wonder that I’m so fond of these pictures – so many of them served up plots … Continue reading → ## [Our Hero, Balthazar review](http://thiswayupzine.blogspot.com/2026/08/our-hero-balthazar-review.html) _2026-08-18 · John Connors · This Way Up_ This film has had quite a strong online promotional presence and like many when I first saw one of the Bboy Malone videos pop up on YouTube I thought it was real; some kid literally crying about the state of the world and its not as unlikely a sight as you’d think.

These days, The Family Way (1966) is best-known for featuring one of Hayley Mills' first grown-up roles and a music score by Paul McCartney.
