Crossfire announces itself as a film about racism. A police drama about a man who tries to evade a charge of murder by implicating something else- it eventually comes down to a discussion of who might have a motive to kill the victim. The policeman in charge of the case decides that the only motive within the case is a general one- anti-semitism- and suggests that none of the suspects actually knew...

Of all the actors who have played Philip Marlowe, Robert Montgomery in "Lady in the Lake" (1947) counts as my least favourite. I'm digging the classics that are up on YouTube posted in ten minute clips. I watched this one last night. The camera work presents Marlowe's point of view through his sight line which seems too gimmicky, while it also empties the leading man of all personality and...

Halloween is past, Thanksgiving is three and a half weeks away, and the new cans of Coke in the bodega downstairs have pictures of Santa Claus on 'em. This time of year, I tend of get a little reflective. I remember somebody once linking to this site and writing that, while he liked it, he wasn't sure what "the purpose of this blog" is meant to be. I could sympathize, even as it occurred...

Everyone else is doing this and since my PC is working (for now) I thought I'd jump in.

I love how Halloween has taken over October. For one thing, it's lots of fun. For another, it stops the capitalists from foisting Christmas on us too soon. Without Halloween, Macy's would be decorating Christmas trees in September. And the best thing: OLD HORROR MOVIES. If you have never seen Robert Mitchum's deranged preacher (movie still at left) in Night of the Hunter , your big chance is tonight...

First I spent time with Germans. Then I washed the hair of Hitler. Now I've met someone who's dressed as a Nazi and machine-gunned Robert Mitchum. Thank God it's Friday. If this carries on for much longer, I'll be appearing on Question Time. Anyhoo, I love the conversations I have with my patients. I ask them about their diabetic control and blood pressure, and they tell me that they've appeared as...

This started when I began watching Bored to Death on HBO. In the series, the hero--a mystery novelist who becomes a private eye after he can’t finish his second book--is influenced by Raymond Chandler’s 1940 novel, Farewell, My Lovely.I realized that I hadn’t read that book for a long time, so I dug up a copy--and quickly discovered that it contained lots of material which hinted...
