  CULVER CITY, CALIF. (December 7, 2009) – In the ‘40s and ‘50s, the juiciest roles for actresses in Hollywood were often in B-pictures that explored the dark side of life and offered them starring roles as cool, calculating gals who could stick a knife in a man’s back and make him like it. On February [...]

  Journey to Perplexity — Authority: 119
  Classed as a film noir , yet not quite that, but something sui generis, I think, The Night of the Hunter is so fraught with meaning and allusion, that I will just let Magaret Atwood describe it - she can do so much better than I can. Those are the hands of faux preacher, Harry Powell, who tells the story ...

  Hollywood Outbreak — Authority: 576
  On this day in 1954, UNITED ARTISTS picked-up and released the Brit film THE GOOD DIE YOUNG. Looked on by most as a ‘B’-movie, it was, in fact, a nice example of film noir . That’s not to say “a great movie”, just a most watchable bargain matinee. The cast included LAURENCE HARVEY, GLORIA GRAHAME, RICHART ...

• The Other “Twilight”

  
  Precious Bodily Fluids — Authority: 121
  The second, and decidedly superior product, from Robert Benton last weekend. In the recent Feast of Love , Benton traded in the solid, veteran cast from his previous film Twilight for a set of young and sexy pawns to cater to navel-gazing empty-headed philosophes. This film, however, takes major advantage of its ...
