4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 19, 2015
The title gives a clear indication of what this Stanley Donen musical will be about, but it does not tell us how we will arrive at that conclusion.

Pitfall (1948)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 7, 2015
In Italy Pitfall‘s title was translated to Tragedy in Santa Monica. And that it is, but it plays out as a typical, everyday tragedy. It is far from Shakespearian. John Forbes (Dick Powell) is sorely tired of the monotony of his life: A wheel within a wheel within a wheel so to speak. And he is read more
Cry Danger (1951)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 7, 2015
Here is yet another noir gem which would never get made today, much less in a mere 22 days! This directorial debut of Robert Parrish is boosted by an often witty script from William Bowers. Rocky Mulloy (Dick Powell) is fresh out of prison after a former marine (Richard Erdman) testifies on his beha read more

The Crimson Kimono (1959)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 5, 2015
From director Samuel Fuller comes another welcomed addition to his canon. It features the same type of seedy urban landscapes and back alleys of Pick up on South Street (1953) and there are some equally interesting characters like Mac (Anna Lee). It all is underlined by by some sleazy jazz music in read more

The Long Goodbye (1973)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 3, 2015
In the storied tradition of film-noir comes another film in the canon and yet another depiction of Raymond Chandler’s Phillip Marlowe. However, the world with which Robert Altman places his private eye is far different than any place the character has ever inhabited before. Whereas another neo read more

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 28, 2015
A nod to the 1930s screwball comedies, this hilarious film is directed by Peter Bogdanovich and stars Ryan O’Neil and Barbra Streisand. It opens with the prologue, “Once upon a time there was a plaid overnight case,” however very soon it becomes obvious that there are four of these cases! One read more

Marriage Italian Style (1964)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 26, 2015
I had never seen any of De Sica’s later work and with the quintessential pairing of Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni this seemed like a perfect place to start the journey. The character Domenico is easy to dislike from the beginning because he constantly floats in and out of the life of t read more
