The Silver Screen Oasis

I feel the same way Anne. I'll pick Fiction everytime. Give me a Dean Koontz or James Patterson and I'm in heaven. I do however like Bio's from time to time.

I love both films (almost equally)But I have to say " The Killers ". Maybe because it's Lancaster's screen debut. The story in flashbacks is a plus. I do agree with Yvonne DeCarlo as a " better " femme fatale. The cast in both are great. I think I like the dialogue in The Killers a little more than ...

I just saw "Blood Diamond (2006)" forget Leonardo DiCaprio ( he was pretty good) but the real star is Djimon Hounsou who stole every scene he was in.

>>Where is that " Film Noir " stalwart Whit Bissell ?<<

Well, we can always enjoy him in the soon to be released "Brute Force" with his lovely "screen wife", Ella Raines.

I agree with Eddie G. But also Claire Trevor as Gaye Dawn is amazing. Got to love the co-stars, some of my favorite charactor actors, Thomas Gomez and Dan Seymour and Marc Lawrence as Ziggy. The film is one of John Huston's best.

Widmark was Vicious in this film. Saw it once of Fox Movie Channel. Hopefully TCM gets to show it sometime. Not to be missed.

Can Not wait. I also refuse to get the Pacino version. If I hear "Say Hello to My Little Friend" again. I think I'll shoot someone. The Pacino version doesn't hold a candle against the orginal. IMHO

I taped this film from PBS channel 13 in N.Y. years ago and look forward to a real DVD copy of the film. Mainly do to a great Noir producer Mark Hellinger.

Hi All, Love the new site. As Serafina Delle Rose said in "The Rose Tattoo" "Now we can get back to some intelligent conversation".
