Human Desire (1954): Fritz Lang vs. Jean Renoir
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 17, 2019
Edgar Buchanan always annoyed me endlessly on Green Acres reruns, and it’s affected me for a long time. Because only recently have I begun to realize just how broad and robust his body of film work is. He can be categorized with a breed of movie actor that is generally lost in today’s i read more

Movements become less stilted, voices become less histrio read more
All I Desire (1953)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 19, 2018
Douglas Sirk films almost by design seem to always revolve around the most uncomfortable thematic ideas that you can think of and whether that is Sirk’s own wry sense of irony or more so the material that was provided him, there’s always something to be gleaned from what he does. With e read more
Day 24 of Noirvember: Human Desire (1954)
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 24, 2017
These three. Without a doubt, Gloria Grahame is one of my favorite film noir actresses. Her sultry, sin-filled demeanor was practically made for this shadowy era of filmmaking, and in Human Desire, she doesn’t disappoint. Here, she’s Vicki Buckley, a sexy and duplicitous housewife whose feminine read more

Blanche Dubois and Stanley Kowalski. They’re both so iconic not simply in the lore of cinema history but literature and American culture in general. It’s difficult to know exactly what to do with them. Stanley Kowalski the archetypical chauvinistic beast. Driven by anger, prone to abuse, read more

A rarity on the screen… a RAW slice of life!
By 1954 most would say that Fritz Lang’s finest work was behind him, even though he had just come off a surprisingly effective noir thriller in The Big Heat, starring Glenn Ford and Gloria Grahame. For his follow up to Heat, Lang c read more

A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Aug 11, 2014
Elia Kazan’s adaptation of A Streetcar Named Desire is an important film in my life. I first saw it in community college when we wrote compared and contrasted the play and the film (there’s a lot of watering down in the movie). I wrote so much on Blanche DuBoise that by the end I was read more
