Ummmm... have you seen Rich and Strange (Hitchcock, 1931)...?

No, I haven't actually.

Runaway Daughters (1956). Z-grade juvenile delinquent picture from Samuel Arkoff and American International about three high school girls, each from a broken family but in a different way. John Litel and Anna Sten (!!) spoil their daughter and are even wilder than the daughter, the daughter's boyfr...

Die Dreigroshenoper, Kurt Weill/Berthold Brecht/GW Pabst, 1931. Magnificent restoration of this classic German musical work:



Subtitles not available on this restoration as uploaded to YouTube but the songs are pretty well known.

George Harliono from the UK. Joint Silver Medallist in the recent Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition held in Moscow: he's playing the Schubert "Wanderer Fantasy" in C Major, D760.

I just watched " The Man in the Net ", Michael Curtiz, 1959, Alan Ladd. Wouldn't exactly call it 'noir', but more likely a whodunnit of Hitchcockian proportions. Strong supporting cast of children, which made the film very unusual. Ladd was a gentle, somewhat under-rated actor and he was e...

Dargo, yes the citation scene is just one of many. I think this is the most moving scene, however, because Fred's father is a down-at-hell alcoholic and his son's bravery is the only thing he has left of personal pride!! "Hortense" he cries to Gladys George and, by a miracle of direction, ...

Interesting comments, Dargo. I don't mind good propaganda films, particularly P&Ps "49th Parallel". This genre isn't a deterrent for me because, in fact, I watched one today, " Wing and a Prayer " - which was very good indeed. "Wild Bill" Wellman was at the helm (pa...

Thanks for your enjoyable comments, Dargo!! :D The title reminded me of something Emeric Pressburger once said when Conrad Veidt took the British film "Contraband" to the USA where it was re-titled "Blackout". Pressburger apparently said, "I wish I'd thought of that!" ...

" Swamp Water ", Jean Renoir, 1941, Dana Andrews, Walter Huston, Walter Brennan, Anne Baxter. Brennan has the lead role and he's a predictable old coot, even then. A script by Dudley Nichols (no less) couldn't save this film. Huston is hardly in it at all which, coming just a few years aft...

"Shock Treatment" was a cliched story, and it had one too many mental health tropes; screaming girl pulling hair and yelling 'don't touch me' (Carol Lynley), deranged gardener staring and menacing (Roddy McDowell); all of these too conveniently compliant when needed and catatonic when not!...
