Hi there Ro. THANK YOU! I do remember that epic battle uhhh...conversation over at TCM-City. ( And the "Mildred Pierce" one as well. ) Ahhh...weren't those the days of friendly discussions with everyone making their points respectfully and with good cheer. You hold your own very well Peacemaker. And Grimesy was fearless taking on you and Miss Goddess and little miss Butterscotchgreer in some wild and woolly discussions.

(and in NO way am I starting trouble here, I promise) but I would have to put Harry from Night And the City in a different category. ha. (rather than mob violence) I would almost put him in "too rotten to live." Though I DO confess he was not AS rotten as all that... maybe. But still.. he was not quite so innocent either. ha. I still remember that long chat we had over at TCM in my Noir Walk thread.. with Frank Grimes. It was one of my all time favorite chats in that thread. As I recall Mr. Grimes was very "pro-Harry" and I came down more on the "he got what he deserved for being such a low-life" ha. It's all up to your interpretation, I am sure. But that is the best part about the movies... we can BOTH watch the same movie and come up with a totally different spin on things.. and we each end up being just as right. ha.
Harry in "Night and the City" was pretty rotten AND he got jacked up by the mob violence. A double whammy for Richard Widmark. It's great when a character can be considered for multiple categories for just one film. I daresay the young murder victim I cited for "Murder Most Foul" for "Rope" might also fit your Category #11 "Wrong Place/Wrong Time."

Ro, I would wholeheartedly recommend and urge you to seek out and watch "Letter From An Unknown Woman." This film is excellent, with good performances by Jourdan and Fontaine.Getting back to your listings.. I l-o-v-e LOVED your two references to Rear Window. Perfect examples of BOTH of those categories! And you have me wanting to check out Letter From an Unknown Woman.. it sounds like one I need to look into!
