Burt Lancaster as Tom Hanson, affable deputy sheriff
Nevada, Spring 1947
Film:Desert Fury Release Date: August 15, 1947 Director: Lewis Allen Costume Designer: Edith Head
Background
Born 110 years ago today on November 2, 1913, Burt Lancaster's connection to film noir begins with his screen debut in The Killers (1946), followed by performances in Brute Force (1947), I Walk Alone (1947), Sorry, Wrong Number (1948), Criss Cross (1949), and Sweet Smell of Success (1957)—to name just a few of his noir credentials.
While the existence of "color noir" may sound contradictory, there were a handful of films made during the '40s and '50s that have been qualified as such, including the 1947 drama Desert Fury which maintains its noir techniques and themes but with lush Technicolor cinematography as opposed to the shadowy black-and-white typically associated with the style.
Let's kick off #Noirvember in post-World War II Nevada, where Lancaster's friendly Tom Hanson takes a break from serving as deputy sheriff in the fictional town of Chickawalla to practice his equestrian abilities.
