What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Rebecca from 1940 with Joan Fontaine, Laurence Olivier, Judith Anderson and George Sanders Rebecca is Hitchcock's first American movie, and he hit it right out of the park translating Daphne Du Maurier's haunting novel to the screen as a suspenseful and foreboding mystery with a cast that...- Fading Fast

"It means my jawb if I get caught," trembles Mr. Moran. "Then," frowns Uncle Frank, "doon't get caught." A tear nearly came to my eye as Frank sounded just like he was channeling my long-dead father's style of advice giving.- Fading Fast

Frank seems confident and I doubt he would be if he didn't have a good plan as Ma or Alice (or both) will kill him if he messes up. My guess remains he gets something on them - dirt from their past - that shuts them down completely. Again I'm just guessing, but she didn't hightail it across the...- Fading Fast

I don't think I ever thought of this before until "Inky" messed up his name, but is Krause Jewish? Does Alice have a religion? I know she was raise in an orphanage by "the sisters," but does she practice a religion? Today, we don't think a lot about marriages of mixed faith or if someone has no...- Fading Fast

Lonelyhearts from 1958 with Montgomery Clift, Robert Ryan, Dolores Hart, Myrna Loy and Jean Stapleton Depressing movies make an implicit bargain with the viewer: the story, the moral, the lesson, the artistry, or something - or all of them - will make this sad journey worth the effort...- Fading Fast

My guess is Frank is looking into Ms. Belasco's past right here in Brooklyn - police records, outstanding warrant, unpaid bills, etc., as they need leverage and she did seem to run not only out of town in a hurry, but all the way across the country.
