TCM Classic Film Festival: ‘Scarecrow’ (Dir. Jerry Schatzberg 1973)

April 30, 2013 by Tom von Logue Newth

Scarecrow would have been a very different film had it starred, as originally intended, Bill Cosby and Jack Lemmon. As it is, it allowed up and coming Al Pacino and Gene Hackman to give two of the best performances of their careers, and it remains a mystery why the film has remained so long under […]

TCM Classic Film Festival: ‘The Narrow Margin’ (Dir. Richard Fleischer 1952)

April 29, 2013 by Tom von Logue Newth

Cheap, tough, and drenched in shadows, The Narrow Margin was the sort of thing that the RKO technicians could knock out in a couple of weeks with no trouble at all, but is raised by particularly tight direction from Richard Fleischer, including terrific use of confined spaces, windows, and yes, lots of shadows (but also, […]

Touch Of Noir: ‘Detour’ On Poverty Row

April 21, 2013 by Katherine Springer

Movie budgets of the 1940s pale in comparison to those of today. It’s the question of maybe a few million versus an average $40 million, but just as independent films are produced today, there were independent films with minuscule budgets released in the ‘40s. Most of these low budget films were genre B movies produced […]

Touch Of Noir: Christopher Nolan’s Ingenious, Notoriety Worthy Neo-Noir ‘Following’

April 7, 2013 by Katherine Springer

Fans of director Christopher Nolan will note his eight feature films prevailing noir tones. From Memento (2000) to the The Dark Knight Trilogy and Inception (2010), Nolan is constantly imbibing his films with sheer mystery and suspense. As Nolan continues to cleverly deceive audiences, his ardent fans return to his first features and the start […]
