The Big Clock (1948)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Clock_(film)

I'm intrigued by that time-date display there, it looks like an LCD which would update, but that's impossible of course, is it the time a train departs or something?

Pretty intense, almost expressionist art, but it bugs me that his arm is perfectly in line with the thing. It makes a really strong line which I want to break up.

Mystery Street (1950)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_Street

On the one hand, Ricardo Montalban! Looking good. On the other hand, this one is fugly. What's going on with those hanging … streamer … flower … things around him? Very distracting.

Now playing: MST3K vs. Manhunt in Space

It's so cheesy and silly and ridiculous and my heart can't stand it.

A CHARACTER JUST STRAIGHT-UP SPRAYED ANOTHER CHARACTER WITH SELTZER what is happening 🤣

He Ran All The Way (1951)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Ran_All_the_Way

I don't know what "their kind of love" is, but maybe a firearms kink considering they've taken a revolver into bed with them. That or painting themselves green.

The Killer Is Loose (1956)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killer_Is_Loose

The guy in the brown coat doesn't know he's allowed to put his belongings down before he puts his hands up. Unless the robber is a sunglasses aficionado and has said "Those are nice, can I have a look? Where did you get them?".

Deadline – U.S.A. (1952)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadline_–_U.S.A.

The German is literally "the mask down" so something like "behind the mask" or "when the mask slips" kind of deal? Not even Bogart's mum would recognise him in this … liberal interpretation.

The Unsuspected (1947)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unsuspected

Calling your movie "The Unsuspected" is like calling it "there is a twist", right? It's the person you don't suspect!

I don't love the design but that typography is pretty out there for 1947. It looks like something from a golden-age Marvel comic.

Sirocco (1951)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirocco_(film)
poster language: Spanish
There's something strangely feminine about Bogart in this one—is he wearing eyeliner and lipstick? This better not awaken anything in me.

Woman in Hiding (1950)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman_in_Hiding

Flights of stairs seem to be a big thing in this batch of images. Stairs and doorways. Why did they have to abbreviate "Saturday Evening Post"? There's plenty of room.

Over nine decades ago was the release of this American horror film based on Edgar Allan Poe's 1841 short story, "Murders in the Rue Morgue".

1957: Night of the Demon

We have two towering examples of American filmmaking here in 12 Angry Men and A Face in the Crowd.

Top honors go to this British horror film that would inspire another pick of mine, 2009's Drag Me to Hell. Jacques Tourneur's film is not only distinctly different from Sam Raimi's update, but it's also far superior.

Niall MacGinnis is magnetic as Julian Karswell, a Satanic cult leader who uses Celtic runes to curse his adversaries. Dana Andrews is a professor who's determined to investigate Karswell, only to end up bringing a curse upon himself.

An aura of dread and tension practically DRIPS off this film, and with MacGinnis as the charismatic predator and Andrews as the initially skeptical prey, we have a top-notch conflict that drives the plot. Love the writing and direction, love love love the ominous feel of the whole work. But it's the performances that give Demon its teeth.

Drive My Car
Drama by Ryūsuke Hamaguchi, Japan, 2021

Not for the impatient: The three hours should be taken, even if they didn't seem that long to me due to the exceptionally good pacing. The opening credits alone start after 45 minutes.
The story unfolds in all its breadth and revelation over the course of the film.
