Hi bradley_kent, Out of the 38 submission references here, only 5 of them have been declined. Of those 5, I can confirm the following outcomes: 1. The Well (1951) - this title does not meet IMDb's definition of Film-Noir and its typical conventions, classified best as a crime drama 2. Take One False Step (1949) - Film-Noir genre added to title 3. The Seventh Victim (1943) - this title does not meet IMDb's definition of Film-Noir and its typical conventions, focusing more on Horror elements 4. The Green Glove (1952) - this title deviates IMDb's definition of Film-Noir and its typical conventions, focusing more on Mystery and Thriller elements 5. King of the Underworld (1939) - this title does not meet IMDb's definition of Film-Noir and its typical conventions, as it lacks key Noir characteristics As for the pending 33 submission references, these have now been processed and the following titles did not meet IMDb's guidelines for the Film-Noir genre: 1. Without Honor (1949) 2. Under-Cover Man (1932) 3. Two Seconds (1932) 4. The Whip Hand (1951) 5. The Capture (1950) 6. Riffraff (1947) 7. Private Detective 62 (1933) 8. Let Us Live (1939) 9. Deep Valley (1947) Please bear in mind that these titles did not meet the guidelines under requirements such as matching genre settings, plot points, and other more prominent genre elements, etc. The remaining pending additions have all been approved. I hope this helps!

Thank you for the response. Glad to see that 24 out of 38 were accepted. The titles were culled from the Wikipedia Film Noir list. One of the rejections that needs reconsideration: Riffraff (1947) This is listed as Film Noir in the AFI catalog, and I recently saw it on TCM as part of Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley. (Perhaps it has been confused with the very different 1935 Tracy-Harlow film of the same name.) Here’s another title that should be Fllm Noir: 250604-125547-155000 Track Contribution 2025-06-04 12:55:47 Angela (1954) Genres - 1 item added It, too, is listed as such in the AFI catalog. It’s the only film directed by Film Noir stalwart Dennis O’Keefe. And here are submissions of some Film Noir in color: 250604-231900-370000 Track Contribution 2025-06-04 23:19:00 Mister Cory (1957) Genres - 1 item added 250604-231733-921000 Track Contribution 2025-06-04 23:17:33 Flame of the Islands (1955) Genres - 1 item added 250604-230626-014000 Track Contribution 2025-06-04 23:06:26 The Revolt of Mamie Stover (1956) Genres - 1 item added 250604-230008-412000 Track Contribution 2025-06-04 23:00:08 Pete Kelly's Blues (1955) Genres - 1 item added 250604-225437-770000 Track Contribution 2025-06-04 22:54:37 Istanbul (1957) Genres - 1 item added
