A poster that captures a great moment in Bullitt in which the hunters suddenly see their prey coming up on them from behind. (Apologies if it's been postered already.)

The Face Behind the Mask (1941) Burned in a rooming house fire the night of his arrival in America... ...immigrant Janos Szabo has this cruel surprise awaiting him in the mirror when the bandages come off. A social outcast, Janos turns to a life of crime, and his ingenuity soon allows him to take charge of a sophisticated gang... ...with his scars concealed behind a mask. Very creative makeup conveys the artificial nature of Peter Lorre's visage. This nifty little thriller directed by Robert Florey packs a great deal into only 69 minutes, and is an excellent showcase for Lorre, taking him from eager-to-please newcomer... ..to cold, criminal mastermind... ...to tender lover, when he meets blind Evelyn Keyes. Brisk and tense, the film still finds time for genuine character development, sincerity and moments of visual flair... ...while leading to a harrowing climax, and is a splendid opportunity for Lorre to demonstrate his considerable range.

That's something, anyway. For years, it was pretty hard to find; I think TCM's run it no more than twice during the past dozen. There are some online vendors who now have one of those quick-and-dirty bargain DVD-Rs.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this movie. And I scanned through the previous threads without seeing it mentioned, so I do apologize if I somehow missed it. But I do seem to recall that the reflection that no one would ever wish to see (particularly if it happened to be your own child) was featured in the movie Rosemary’s Baby, at the very end.

The Haunting (1963) Here's a wonderful shot I've never been able to figure out: Just where did director Robert Wise and DP Davis Boulton manage to put their dollying camera so that it hid from being reflected in the convex mirror capturing the entire hallway set?

The magic of the angle, doghouse. It's tricky, but once found it can work - though I'm sure the dolly did make it a bit more difficult. That and Wise's proclivity for the 20mm lens in that film (and that shot, I think).
Now you've got me wanting to dig out my DVD and review the scene. There was some great cinematography in that film, demonstrating a little - or a lot, maybe - of what Wise learned from editing those Orson Welles films.

Aha! It's a normal flat mirror, but it's the 20mm lens imparting the distortion. Makes sense, and never occurred to me. Then it's simply a matter of keeping the camera just out of the mirror's field of vision. Thank you! We have an as-yet-unviewed Blu-ray of The Haunting that we're planning to watch (among others) in the coming week; sort of a stay-cation. I'll be looking to see if the shot continues much past the GIF before the cut (assuming that you could dolly out only just so far). There's so much in that film that's so elegantly done.

Since I've recently seen this Swedish movie, Everlasting Moments 2008: A reflection in the glass in a camera shop in the early 1900s. It's a bit symbolic since the woman reflected and her family lived in poverty, but one day she won a fancy camera in a lottery.
