And four more...

This should be my next film...

Now that is a film I have seen and really like. Bob Hope is just funny.

Thanks. Good call. I haven't seen it, but I do like Richard Fleischer. Added to the list.

So, now, I am looking lesser-known Anthony Quinn film recommendations...from anyone.

And I'm sure there's about a hundred films I haven’t seen.

Outside of these heavyweight films, I always liked him in Last Train from Gun Hill, The Magus, The Don is Dead, RPM, and Revenge.

Anthony Quinn was a great actor. Zorba the Greek, Lawrence of Arabia, The Guns of Navarone, The Message, Requiem for a Heavyweight, Guns for San Sebastian, Lion of the Desert and La Strada. He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor twice: for Viva Zapata! in 1952 and Lust for Life in 1956.

Man from Del Rio is an anxious Western. Or, at least, it made me anxious. With its dances where you aren't invited, its parade of almost pointless gunfights, and the idea that the corrupt element has more respect for you than the town that shuns. All that and a supposedly happy ending, I guess.

The film is lit with wonderful shadowy black and white photography. Particularly in the fight scene between Quinn and his town-nemsis Peter Whitney. Stanley Cortez shot it the year after Night of the Hunter.

Quinn is a remarkably good actor, and he moves and shifts through this film with real actorly grace. Mumbling like a method actor, proudly wearing a waistcoat like his character would.

Anthony Quinn stumbles around like barrel-chested Montgomery Clift. He appears to be without confidence, except when he is going for his gun. Or over confident when trying to make up for his actions with the great Katy Jurado.

It is kind of uncomfortable to watch. It is less interested in revenge than an odd kind of loneliness. It makes flinty points about not being socially acceptable and racism, and indicts the whole town.

Interesting! I always like Anthony Quinn, so I am hoping I fall on your side of the divide.

Take the last scene of the The Player and Silence of the Lambs - and create 1990s magic.

This is John Boorman's brain.

This is TH White.

This is John Boorman's brain on TH White.

Partnership for a Drug-Free America.

I have seen it three times. Started as a baffled 3 stars; then a flawed 4 stars, and now I am a 5 star zealot. I think it is the only film I have went that journey on. Nothing quite like it, and no-one quite like Boorman.

I have given them both 5 stars on Letterboxd (I am the world's easiest grader but still). And re-reading my review of The Trial, I am sticking by my final line - Wha's like Welles? Damn few, and they're a' deid.

The Trial, Mr Arkadin, The Immortal Story, and The Other Side of the Wind (and the rest). Flawed, perhaps, but easy to become obsessed with. Genuinely nothing else quite like them.

Even Lady from Shanghai with Welles's accent and Hayworth's second most famous haircut - is absolutely great.
