Joel Coen cites Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye as a primary influence on their film, in the sense that The Big Lebowski "is just kind of informed by Chandler around the edges".

I notice that FeTV is showing PERRY MASON uncut. With commercials, it fills an hour and fifteen minutes time slot. Very nice!
This is the best scene in the whole movie, marking a change in the action. Rick starts to stick his neck out. #Casablanca #TCMParty

To Kill a Mockingbird, Brock Peters, 1962.
This is the coolest thing I've heard about in a long time! Your students are very lucky and you are an extraordinary teacher! Very cool of Eddie Muller and the Noir Foundation too.
Had one of the highlights of my career today: Saturday field trip to #noircity23! A heartfelt and special thanks to @eddiemuller.bsky.social & all at @noirfoundation.bsky.social for welcoming my students and showing them that black & white and Bogie & Bacall will always be cool!
GREAT TIME at #NoirCity23 hosting a class from Berkeley High School at the Grand Lake Theatre in Oakland. For many, it was their first time seeing a black and white film on the big screen. Their initiation? Bogart and Bacall in TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT. #TCM #NoirAlley
