Turner Classic Movies is hosting a TCM Party watch-along that spotlights Anthony Mann's noir Raw Deal as part of the "Summer of Darkness" series. Sample posts identify Raw Deal as a 1948 film starring Claire Trevor, Raymond Burr, and Dennis O'Keefe. A post from the event's host Eddie says he will showcase Raw Deal alongside Moonrise after Out of the Past airs tonight, linking the two films by their 1948 release year and an aura of self-inflicted doom. Participants praise John Alton's shadowy cinematography, citing moments such as a woman's face reflected in a clock. Comments also call out Marsha Hunt, Claire Trevor's hats, Raymond Burr's early psychopathic gangster turns before he made Perry Mason his own, and a Malibu gas station that reportedly survived the fires.
