I really dig Robert Young's character in Crossfire. A few weeks ago at the Film Noir Festival I saw him in 'They Wont Believe Me' (1947) with Susan Hayward. He was playing the complete opposite of his 'Father Knows Best' role. It was like seeing his evil twin. A great actor, hasn't disappointed...
Saw a Chinatown and L.A. Confidential double feature at the Castro Theater yesterday. I'd seen both these films many times, but never on the big screen. You really can't beat the movie palace experience, it was well worth braving the wet city streets.
Blues in the Night (1941)
Priscilla Lane, Richard Whorf, Betty Field, Lloyd Nolan, Jack Carson, Elia Kazan, Wallace Ford and Billy Halop
in a swinging little picture with a dash of noir.
Personally I have no problem with remakes. I see it as a way of introducing old stories to a modern audience. Johnny Depp bringing Hammett's stories back to the big screen sounds like a worthwhile endeavor.
