I can't say enough good things about "The Asphalt Jungle." It is a top-five noir for me. It even has Marilyn in a minor role before she became a break-out star. I've read at least one of the "Mr. Moto" books, which surprisingly, was written by John P. Marquand who also wrote some very well...- Fading Fast

The Tattered Dress from 1957 with Jeff Chandler, Jack Carson, Jeanne Crain, Elaine Stewart, George Tobias, Edward Platt, and Edward Arnold Some B movies are so good, so professionally done, they rise to A-picture status; other Bs, however, are very good movies that stay in their B sandbox...- Fading Fast

Seven Days...

Kudos to Ms. Corby for calling a classic a classic before it became one. That's harder to do than it seems. To this day, it's a top-five, maybe a top-three film noir and film noir, in 1944, was only just starting to ramp up.- Fading Fast

I know the woman who wants to adopt Annie means well, but even in 1944, adoption was no slapdash, red-tape free affair. Dollars to donuts that annoying woman is on the board that approves adoptions – her type always is.- Fading Fast

I don't think so, unless I did decades ago and forgot it. I didn't love du Maurier's "Jamaica Inn," so I've shied away from her novels ever since. Maybe I should give her another shot as I've enjoyed several of the movies that have been based on her books.- Fading Fast

Well done Frank, even if Ma won't give you much credit. Sure, it's not perfect - but you moved a lot of pieces to better places on the chess board.

I thought Frank was going to dig up dirt of Belasco (he has to already have plenty of it on Hops), but he decided to Captain Kirk it with a Kobayashi Maru-style reprograming of the computer, the old-fashioned state-operated paper-record computer. Good for Frank.- Fading Fast
