Pre-Code vs Post-Code: "Picture Snatcher" and "Escape From Crime"

The Man on the Flying Trapeze Posted by David on Sep 27, 2014

If you removed the atmosphere of breezy amorality from the 1933 film "Picture Snatcher," you wouldn't have much of a movie. And, sure enough, the 1942 film "Escape From Crime" isn't much of a movie. Both films are based on an original story by Danny Ahearn, but "Picture Snatcher" has that che read more

Review: Escape From New York (1981)

Pretty Clever Films Posted by Wade Sheeler on Sep 5, 2013

Escape from New York airs Friday, September 6 on TCM. Check local listings for times. In 1981, the idea of retro-fitting New York as a prison unto itself seemed far out, but believable.
