The Big Steal (1949)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 18, 2017
Granted you have star power but it’s easy to assume that The Big Steal will be a no name picture. A minor triumph at best. Not so! This film fares far better than countless of its bigger competitors. It proves to be a winking romp full of bedroom brawls, car chases, and twists and turns every read more

Reign of Terror/The Black Book (1949)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 17, 2017
Depending on where you look Anthony Mann’s 1949 film comes under two different titles that are both equally apt. Reign of Terror denotes its roots in the French Revolution of the 1790s that saw the ousting of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette while putting Maximillien Robespierre at the hel read more

Hellzapoppin (1941)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 15, 2017
It essentially begins with a fourth wall break. That’s all you need to know. Because that gives you exactly an idea of what you’re in for with Hellzapoppin’ or rather it gives you no idea whatsoever what you’re in for but really they’re one in the same. I’ve seen read more

The Lineup (1958)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 14, 2017
In style if not entirely in execution The Lineup exhibits some similarities to Murder by Contract from the same year. Both films choose to take hit men as their main characters and it becomes a surprisingly intriguing way to look at a crime. Because the killers are a certain brand of sociopath who read more

Odd Man Out (1947)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 11, 2017
In my profession, there is neither good nor bad. There is innocence and guilt. That’s all. ~ Denis O’Dea as the Police Inspector What Carol Reed did so impeccably with The Third Man and here in Odd Man Out is developing a very specific atmosphere. He made the worlds of Vienna and in this read more

Patterns (1956)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 9, 2017
Patterns has little right to be any good. It takes place almost exclusively in interiors. Boardrooms, offices, hallways, at desks, and in elevators. But thanks to a fantastic teleplay from Twilight Zone mastermind Rod Serling, this little picture exceeds the meager expectations placed on it. In fact read more

The Farmer’s Daughter (1947)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 6, 2017
Whatever our criticisms of the previous generations, there’s still something within me that sees something uniquely compelling about films of old. Hollywood in the 30s and 40s could sugar coat, they could oversell the drama, but there was also a general decency that pervaded many of those film read more

Show Boat (1936)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 4, 2017
Most of what I know about riverboats can be gleaned from Mark Twain, Davy Crockett and the River Pirates, and that ever beloved Snoopy incarnation The World Famous River Boat Gambler. The 1936 musical Show Boat falls into that very same rich tradition but some clarification is in order. In truth, th read more

The Third Man (1949): Out of the Rubble
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 2, 2017
Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love – they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? T read more
