Beautiful looking film, but gosh, why did they insist on using actors who can't sing in musicals? Rita Hayworth was a phenomenal dancer but couldn't sing and had to be dubbed. Victor Mature had to be dubbed, also. Both excelled in noir, not musicals. So it's kind of mystifying.

The Lady Vanishes is fucking perfection. I just watched it for the first time in probably 23 years and I tickled me and toyed with me anew, thanks to my crap audhd stoner memory 😅 Hitchcock's genius was evident early. This is the kind of movie you see and wish you made.

I think a lot about writing a biopic about Charles Laughton. I think he is a fascinating actor and his story begs to be brought to the screen. I would cast Tom Hardy. I DO NOT know why. 😝🤷♂️

I love Clarence Brown's Wife Vs. Secretary.
It does such a good job at showing how paranoia and jealousy over imagined romantic threats can so often manifest the affairs/outcomes one so fears...
Clark Gable, Myrna Loy and Jean Harlow all shine.

I think Danny DeVito's black comedy The War Of The Roses is a classic. It breaks my heart it's bren remade. The new version looks so lacking in panache/style, too.
I have some classics I would love to remake, but I trust only myself to do it. 😝 🤷♂️

Followed it with another classic from the same year, Kiss of Death. Victor Mature was never better, except maybe as Doc Holiday in My Darling Clementine, and Richard Widmark's powerful debut performance blows my mind. He embodies sadistic evil with a constantly simmering mania, it's genius.

Watched this for the first time today. Finally!
So good. Claire Trevor was fantastic. I need to see more of Robert Wise's movies.

Today's viewing is a pair of ahead of their time pre-noirs by master filmmaker Fritz Lang starring Sylvia Sidney with Spencer Tracy and Henry Fonda respectively, along with support from pretty solid character actors of the day.

Today I did a double feature of fine Warner Bros. movies from 1941, both starring Ida Lupino and John Garfield. In the case of The Sea Wolf, you also get a fantastic performance from Edward G. Robinson, one of my faves. They were both really good.

Touch of Evil (1958), in its restored-to-Orson Welles'-vision form, is a masterpiece.
I love Marlene Dietrich. Even with so little screen time, she is haunting.

You can keep all other versions, the 1939 masterpiece is the definitive version of Victor Hugo's classic story on film.
Laughton's genius and a fantastic makeup even by today's standards bring the character to heartrending life...

Charles Laughton's performance as Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) has to be seen to be believed, a truly incredible piece of acting.

Roland Young and Charlie Ruggles being brilliant in This Is The Night (1932), a truly hilarious pre-code. I am so in love with this one at the moment. Notable also for being the one of Cary Grant's first appearances on film.
