I'm off to the store to stock up before our next snow storm hits. That should be in another couple of hours. Among other things, we must have plenty of alcohol! That is a MUST HAVE!
After we have settled in, this movie will be screened! One of the best! Anyone who cares to is welcome to join me……
Just bring your own booze. I do NOT share!

I also like to stock up on alcohol when it's too cold. When it's too warm I stock up on alcohol too. Then when it's just right, do you know what I stock up on? That's right, you guessed it – black tar heroin.

Just saw this film and loved it. Tony Curtis was such a slimy and groveling little worm while Burt Lancaster was pure icy perfection as one ruthless bastard.

Wasn't it fun? So many people associate Tony Curtis with his light hearted comedy roles. He could really deliver the drama. Another favorite is The Defiant Ones. He was powerful in The Boston Strangler as well.
A little trivia: Tony had a small uncredited role in Rosemary's Baby. Rosemary called the actor who "lost" out on the role Guy got when he suddenly lost his sight. The voice on the phone is Tony Curtis.
As for Burt Lancaster, I love him in anything!

Curtis was a revelation to behold as Sidney Falco. Agree with you that Curtis could really deliver the dramatic goods if given the opportunity to do so.

Until I saw this movie and Days of Wine and Roses, Public Relations was an occupation I never thought about. Talk about having to jump through hoops! It was more or less pimping.

Remember Barbara Nichols in this? She usually played the ditz in comedies. I felt so bad for her character in this. There she is, waiting for Sidney, and he walks in with Mr. Sleeze. (Larry Tate)

That part always stays with me when I think of this movie. That, and the line, "The cat's in the bag. The bag's in the river."
The whole thing was so well written and so well directed. I'm suddenly in the mood to watch it again!

It was great, wasn't it? The sort of dialogue and snappy comebacks we wish we could come up with in our daily lives.
Like most people, I always think of the things I could have said after the fact!
We all need writers!

On the subject of Clifford Odets, I highly recommend checking out the mid-1940's film noir thriller gem Deadline at Dawn that was also written by Odets. That film boasts a lot of great snappy dialogue and a wondrous wealth of vividly drawn characters.
