Hi!
You still around after a year?
Having reread this thread again, I have to wonder what your cut off date is for movie viewing.
What movies do you consider too old to watch?
For that matter, is this thread too old for you to reply?
Nah… it can't be, considering the fact that I started this one six years ago.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Really??? You really do need to get a sense of humor! What's wrong with you?

me neither!

You have to announce you're going to watch a movie from 1957? Bitch, get outta my face. You're stupid.

Get out of my thread.
You are an idiot.

Still an excellent movie.
For anyone who hasn't seen it, check it out!
I'm watching now.

Thanks! I've never seen this one.
While it doesn't seem to be free on any of the other streaming channels that I get, I see that it's available here on Filmboards . I like noir. This looks like something I enjoy.
I can't believe I started this thread six years ago!
Where does the time go?

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.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

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!

Acclaimed British playwright Clifford Odets was responsible for all the razor-sharp and highly quotable dialogue.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

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!

Sidney basically pimped poor Rita out as a means of advancing his own career.

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)

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.

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.

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!

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.

Yep. Let's go!

They are! This movie really showcases their talents too.
I've got the drinks! I have the popcorn and snacks. Ready?

Burt and Tony at their best! Save a place for me!

You are prepared! That is the way to hunker down!
