The Noir Collective is hosting a community watch-along tonight of High Tide (1947) at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT as part of its weekly noir screenings. Organizers tied the event into a #NoirvemberChallenge for the month, and a public stream link was shared for participants. The film, directed by John Reinhardt, stars Lee Tracy in his last performance as a cynical newsman and features Francis Ford as "Pop" Garrow, a casting note several viewers flagged. Posts highlighted the movie’s beachside car crash opening, its plot elements, a newspaper editor, a private eye, a murder and a corrupt city, and praised period details such as the final dissolve and cinematography. Attendees thanked preservationists for making the film available, noted alternate posters and the U.K. title Perverse Ambition, and offered live color commentary during the screening.
