For the Love of Film...Noir

Restoring a film isn't cheap
So dig in your pockets--and deep
Committing a crime
is the hit-man called Time,
and noir films could take the big sleep

Starting tomorrow, Limerwrecks will be one of many blogs taking part in For the Love of Film, a week long event held to raise funds for film preservation. This annual 'blogathon' is hosted by Ferdy on Films and the Self-Styled Siren. The worthy recipient this year is the Film Noir Foundation, which is currently working to restore a terrific film noir, Try and Get Me. Please consider helping in any way you can. Just go to the Film Noir Foundation donation page by clicking here. Thanks!

UPDATE: As of 3/9/11, the blogathon donation page is still open for business!
