For 1955, this is extremely progressive in its depiction of drug addiction. Preminger at his best never held back. #TCMParty

I didn’t particularly like the Brando Mutiny. The ‘35 version is far superior. #TCMParty

The film was as originally going to be directed by Melville… Dassin did ok!

26 minutes of no dialogue… Rififi never disappoints.. Bona fide classic

The Two remakes aren’t as good as the original. Why? The cast is stupendous.

Lessons learned:

Their are rules to obey, the rules, stick with talking to the cop when you’re on your break and understand the consequences of poor decisions.

Its only a film some director said once.

Granger was not only handsome he was very convincing actor as a man of circumstance.

Always find Anthony Mann’s career fascinating. Made some great noirs and the transitioned to some of the best Westerns.

This is the best version of the Japanese New Wave this side of Melville. More style over substance. Ambience and pace are fantastic.

I’m not an expert in gambling halls, but this Muraki has to be the coolest gambler one can imagine.

Walbrook is quiet hammy but he is viciously cunning . This version is better. Thank you TCM.

Cornered provides a time-capsule vision of a world gone to hell. Such a dark tone but its a good film. Powell better known for Murder my Sweet nails this one too.

The war has ended, Gerard is a man on his last fumes. The plot point resonates with the time this film was released. He’s a man with little hope.

Far too many films have been ruined by the director withholding information to the audience but not when the cast has Dick Powell holding the fort.

Powell has no idea what’s goin on and neither do we in this obfuscation.
