I see a lot of fog and a few lights. I like it when life’s hidden. It gives you a chance to imagine nice things, nicer than they are.

ASK EDDIE returns Thursday, August 25, 7:00 PM PT to our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/filmnoirfoundation/live
FNF prez Eddie Muller responds to film noir fan questions fielded by the Foundation's Director of Communications Anne Hockens. In this episode, we discuss the series finale of “Better Call Saul” (we warn you when to mute if you’re not caught up), our favorite film noir wisecracks, the film adaptations of Ben Hecht’s “The Front Page” and more. We end by answering the question, “Is there a character in a film noir movie that you would like to portray?” On the cat front, Emily and Charlotte are background players, but the latter decides everyone needs to see her pretty face.
Want your question answered in a future episode? We solicit questions from our email subscribers in our monthly newsletters. Sign up for free at https://www.filmnoirfoundation.org/signup.html
Can’t make it Thursday? You can watch it on our YouTube channel starting Friday, August 26

Note: Eddie will not be able to answer questions posted during the livestream nor ones left on our social media accounts
