Film Noir During TCM Summer Under the Stars 2022

The Asphalt Jungle (1949)

I think I can speak for most Turner Classic Movie fans when I say we love Summer Under the Stars. TCM dedicates every day in August to a specific star, with 24 straight hours of their films. If there is one disadvantage to Summer Under the Stars it's that TCM's usual programming is pre-empted for the whole month. This means for the whole month of August there is no Noir Alley. Fortunately, film noir fans do not have to to go without their noir fix on TCM the whole month, as during Summer Under the Stars Turner Classic Movies usually shows several film noirs. This August is no different. Here then is a list of the film noirs, neo-noirs, and noir related movies airing during this Summer Under the Stars.
