• The Hitch-Hiker (1953) Ida Lupino

  
  Twenty Four Frames — Authority: 421
      With no major female characters, Ida Lupino’s 1953 film “The Hitch-Hiker” is somewhat idiosyncratic in her feature  film directing career. Considered a director with a strong female identity, Lupino shows she can handle a gritty all male thriller just as skillfully as one of her mentors Raoul Walsh (she ...

  Cinemaroll — Authority: 132
  Much has changed in the way that story lines are delivered.

  J.B. Spins — Authority: 131
  This year marks the sixtieth anniversary of zither-mania. While that might be a slight overstatement, Anton Karas’s zither theme became an unlikely international hit after the release of Carol Reed’s The Third Man (trailer here ) , which is currently enjoying a special anniversary revival run at Film Forum ...

  [CinemaRatty] Latest Articles — Authority: 170
  From Richard Roeper: 1. “Brothers” A brilliant, beautiful, harsh, gut-punching, 21st century war story with Biblical overtones. Some critics said Jim Sheridan’s adaptation of the great Danish film to be too glossy and heavy-handed, but I found it to be just as profound as the original. Either you buy Tobey ...

• Christmas Holiday (1944) Robert Siodmak

  
  Twenty Four Frames — Authority: 421
  Have yourself a very noirish Christmas…          After recently hearing about this film, I was optimistic that I had found a gem for the holiday season, a film noir with a Christmas setting directed by one of the masters of dark cinema, Robert Siodmak. To say the least, it sounded intriguing. When the DVD ...

• Just the Two of Us: The Last Lullaby

  
  Cinema Styles — Authority: 559
  The quiet film is more and more becoming a lost art form. What do I mean by a quiet film? A film that doesnt pierce the eardrums with cacophonous sound effects, certainly. A film not filled with loud explosions and crashes definitely. And while both of those rudimentary definitions would qualify thats not what Im ...

Brody discusses the complexity and there’s a short clip as well; “The director, Joseph H. Lewis, is a masterful stylist as well as a daring innovator. For instance, he films one bank robbery ...

• The Fifth Cord (1971)

  
  [CinemaRatty] Latest Articles — Authority: 170
  The Fifth Cord ( Giornata nera per lariete ) is an interesting entry in the 1971s Italian giallo cycle, depending even more heavily on style than most films of this type. And style it certainly has in abundance. The plot has the usual rather bizarre twists and turns you expect in this genre. Franco Nero is Andrea ...
