Along the Noir side, I love Barbara Stanwyck the best. Did you see The Strange Love of Martha Ivers? I love that film. Among other Stanwyck films, I think my favorite is 'Sorry Wrong Number' - I just love that movie!! Then there was another one called No Man of Her Own, I think, not sure. Great film, and not shown as often as it should be. I just love Stanwyck, I wish they would do a retrospective or Star of the Month on her. She, I think, is under-appreciated by today's audiences who are into classic film.

I love Stanwyck bar none. And I just watched "Martha Ivers" the night before last on tape. I have quite a few of hers and one of the things I like about her is that she transitioned into the 50s pretty well, unlike Crawford and some others who, I think, were overdone. One of my favorites from the 50s is "Jeapordy" with Stanwyck, Barry Sullivan and Ralph Meeker (whose a prick in this)
and another one that I would like to have is "The File on on Thelma Jordan" with her and Wendel Corey. I think that came out in the late 40s...more Mystery and mayhem.....

as a sidebar on Stanwyck, I think my favorite performance is Stella Dallas...and she should have one, she was nominated. There is another film earlier with her, and directed by Frank Capra. Saw it one time, forget the name, and I would like to have it...it's a drama.
