TCM's Film Noir of the Week for Sunday, October 8, at 10 am ET is They Won't Believe Me (1947). It stars Robert Young, Susan Hayward, and Jane Greer.
 

They Won't Believe Me is one of those pictures where everyone's getting drunk all the time. As the Hays Code was in effect, that meant that the sin of drunkenness led to the sin of fornication, which led to...
 

being on trial for one's liberty, and one's life!
 

Young is cast against type as a rotten cad with two lady friends (Hayward and Greer) and a forgiving, wealthy wife (Rita Johnson), who always takes him back.

The philandering of Young's character leads to tragedy and a murder charge against him.

    There is a kind of Noir Double Feature for this Sunday on TCM. At 10 am ET, Sunday October 15, Eddie Muller hosts the regular Film Noir of the Week, Side Street (1950). It stars Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnel, who are reunited after They Live by Night.

    Granger is a part-time mail carrier who seizes a chance to steal a roll of money, a blackmail payoff, that belonged to some ruthless hoods who soon come after him.

    Side Street was filmed in Manhattan and shows what it looked like in 1950 through what may be the first car chase in a movie.

    Right before Side Street, TCM shows Follow Me Quietly (1949) at 8:45 ET. It stars William Lundigan and Jeff Corey as detectives pursuing a psychopathic serial killer. It has a good script and some suspense, directed by Richard Fleischer in an early effort.
