The Sellout (1952)
THE SELLOUT. AN MGM FILM NOIR/
NEVER SAW THIS FILM BEFORE TONIGHT, IT WAS A GOOD SURPRISE, L AM SURE IT LANDED AS A SECOND FEATURE ON A DOUBLE BILL.I DONT REMEMBER SEEING ANY ADS IN THE NYC NEWS PAPERS OR THE THEATRE WHERE IT WOUL DHAVE OPENED ON BROADWAY, AS WAS MOST FILMS IN 1952. IT WOULD HAVE BE SHOWN ONLY AS A SECOND FEATURE FROM DAY ONE.
Unfinished Business (2015)
A thought provoking comedy.
.....Unexpected tonight,...and l watched this movie; and must say l loved every minute, a thought provoking good comedy with a feeling of the time and the man, l recommend it without reservations,.. the cast was superb.The first time that l saw a very good cast with some in smaller roles, and they took each moment very seriously, what makes it work is the low key comedy that Vince Vaughan can achieve, with just a blink or a smirk., good to see Tom Wilconson do some great funny moments, and the surprise was Dave Franco, my first time, and he has won me over as a fine actor and delivered a most tender performance, at once you felt for his knowledge and at the same time you know that he was in complete character, l want to see his talent rise to a level that will be very main stream, he is a fine comic. The entire cast could not have been more at their game, l would see it again,
Morte a Venezia (1971)
One of the Best Fims ever Made in any country.
I have seen this brilliant film more than five times, and l have never seen a more beautiful film made for the screen in any country; every frame of this film is like a magical painting, to savor, and to see again and again. The acting by Dirk Borgard reached his peak here in 'Death in Venice', Silvana Mangano has never been more elegant. The Music by Mahler is haunting. This film is poetic master piece, it is the most beautiful work of Luchino Visconti's direction that take's you for a ride in History, and place, as no other film has ever done; right now, as l write this, l want to see it again. The young Swedish actor, Bjorn Anderson, is like a mystical painting of an innocent individual, and only a boy, he is a danger to a cultivated man of a certain age; well performed by the young actor. The scenes of the degradation of the elder professor played so brilliantly by Dirk Bogard, is so good, it is painful to see this can happen to a man of letters, l recommend this film on every level.,C.J.Blanda
