Missed the second part of the name... sorry. And ofc this is not Hitch specific... catch him making Indiana Jones...


Orson Welles is one of my favorites too, have written a couple of reviews of his films here :

(The) Lady from Shanghai (1947) Disregard the (The)

Have browsed through the movies thread - didn't know it existed....some comments:

Western - you must see the original 3:10 to Yuma with Glenn Ford, also check out the James Stewart-Anthony Mann series of westerns, also 2-3 Budd Boetticher-Randolph Scott films. Speaking of Ford-Wayne, have you since The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Really very intelligent. Clint Eastwood made two brilliant westerns -- The Beguiled and Unforgiven. Unforgiven won a heap of oscars but The Beguiled was ignored because of the controversial and disturbing themes.

Noir - My favourite genre.....have seen (and have) all the films mentioned on the page + some really rare ones not available on DVD - all pristine prints in *.avi form. Been collecting for years. Also like neo-noir....have several books on noir and its evolution is really quite fascinating....you should see some of the silent german expressionist films like Cabinet Der Doctor Caligari, Metropolis, M etc. to begin appreciating the subleties of noir....also see a French film called Les Enfants Du Paradis (1946) - the greatest french film which had poetic realism (female fatale, doomed lover etc.) which really influenced noir....Les Enfants has playing in some theater or other in Paris since the day it was released!!!

My vote history is here:

My comment/musings history (just a few reviews over a brief period) is here:

Need to find time to write more reviews...

Lady from Shanghai - that was the one with the famous mirrors scene.....the studio destroyed the film by jettisoning many of Welles' brilliant ideas....

Kind Regards
