The Black Cat, listed as a horror movie but I've always felt it was a dark comedy. It stars Basil Rathbone, Broderick Crawford, Alan Ladd and my fav, Bela Lugosi.

36 HOURS - 1965 - James Garner is a US agent kidnapped by Germans and sent to a fake US army hospital where they want to trick him into spilling the Normandy invasion plans by convincing him it is years later and he suffers from recurring amnesia. Rod Taylor is the charming cunning German doctor who must win his trust before an SS officer interferes. It was a little uneven due to the shifts in dramatic focus between Garner and Eva-Marie Saint but Taylor has the best character arc.

HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT - 1980 -- James Caan stars in and also directs the story of a working stiff whose children are whisked away into the witness protection program because his ex-wife hastily marries a criminal who decides to snitch on the mob. Caan hires a lawyer (Danny Aiello) to fight the government before taking matters into his own hands. Based on a true story.

THE CRIMINAL - 1960 - Seems like every British character actor of the time was in this--from Stanley Baker to Rupert Davies to Patrick Magee to Nigel Green to Edward Judd to Patrick Wymark.

 His Kind of Woman! (1951) Plot probably goes on for a little too long, but the cast is good. |

Yeah that's the one with Vincent Price --Howard Hughes liked his part so much they reshot the film to expand his role.
REVOLVER - 1973 - "Society has ways of protecting itself. Red tape, prison bars, and the revolver." I didn't know Oliver Reed had done a poliziottesco film and brings drunken intensity to it (he was apparently drunk during part of it but I couldn't tell--sober or not, his performance elevates the film over the standard of the genre). He is a mean prison warden who has to free a criminal to rescue his kidnapped wife. It has been called one of the best of the Italian crime films but I wouldn't go that far, especially when compared to others like Caliber 9 or The Boss.

EARTHQUAKE - 1974
"Not like back in the store, is it, Miss Amici? No scrawny bitches coming in asking for double green stamps two days after the special's over, huh? None of that stuff."
"Earthquakes bring out the worst in some guys, that's all."
Started shaking 50 years ago tonight.

THE FOUR MUSKETEERS - 1974 - More dramatic turns than the previous film but like The Three Musketeers has a pace and tone imbalance between the drama and comedy that I find off-putting. Nice to look at though.
