It's been a while since I made a film noir video, so here's a tribute set to Michael Arthur Holloway's "Lift Your Curtain", featuring an intro by Humphrey Bogart from the film, "Dark Passage" (1947). I absolutely love this song and think it's very fitting and atmospheric; I tried to fit in as many noirs that reflect how I feel about the song. Enjoy!
