Let's make this birthday one to remember.

60 years old (Born on October 14, 1964)

Happy Birthday, Saul Akkemay—or should we say Panbello? Your sharp wit and insightful commentary have illuminated the shadowy alleys of Film Noir for years. Who else could make Jewish influences in classic cinema sound as thrilling as a detective novel plot twist?

From your latest reviews that left us chuckling into our popcorn buckets to those timeless columns dissecting cinematic mysteries with humor and flair—you've truly mastered the art of noir storytelling yourself. May this birthday be filled with suspenseful surprises, witty dialogue, and absolutely no femme fatales lurking around corners (unless they're bringing cake). Cheers to you!
