91 minute running time … early Hitchcock silent movie … had all the hallmarks of his later movies … nice essay by someone named Rothman in the extras on the Criterion disc… Hitchcock always interested in the high technology of the day, in this case the telegraph, telephone, newspaper printing press, automobile, etc. I also like the class angle in all these early movies.
There’s something about him I can’t stand.
89 minute running time … early Hitchcock talkie, no subtitles and the audio was so bad I couldn’t understand a word…old money new money conflict, it looked like, but couldn’t really tell.
Theo Lawrence sings Not in Nottingham … I dig it:
Joyce Heath sings I Wouldn't Dream Of It … You Were Never Really Here was the best movie I saw in 2018 and it had an amazing soundtrack.
98 minute running time … Otto Preminger … Gene Tierney, I always liked her cheekbones and angular face… I wasn’t super thrilled with this though I know many consider it a classic. Preminger’s great movie is Angel Face, in my humble opinion.
“With you, a lean strong body is the measure of a man.”
86 minute running time … Fritz Lang movie with handsome young Henry Fonda…SPOILERS: Lang does a bit of a switcheroo on you as you think Fonda IS guilty, but in fact he isn’t. I resented that and didn’t enjoy the movie, too tense for me, a “social drama,” and felt very very long. 1930’s Bonnie & Clyde pre-cursor.
The gates are open…
Never thought I’d be somebody’s fool… Kat Easton, I dig it:
Mysterious Girl from Insecure Men … I dig it … reminds me of The Magnetic Fields or Jens Lekman:
Orchestra Baobab’s Soldadi… I don’t understand a word but I love it:
I love Molly Burch … here she is singing First Flower … unfortunate backing vocals by the band, she needs some pros backing her 20 feet from stardom:
