This Monday, starting very early, there will be a series of very good Film Noir movies on TCM, with The Big Sleep showing Monday afternoon. Out Of The Past is on after The Big Sleep and is arguably one of the best FN movies ever released. They are even showing Mildred Pierce!
It is a great day to set your DVR and record them all: The Naked City CrimecWave The Narrow Margin Kansas City Confidential The Asphalt Jungle The Big Sleep Out of the Past Mildred Pierce |

Casablanca and Gone With the Wind are two on the "top 100" lists that I have not seen.
I know the plot and quotes though. Most people do, without realizing it probably. I suppose it's that good. You can know many of the details without having watched it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b2/Madeleine_Lebeau.png Madeleine Lebeau Lebeau died on 1 May 2016 in Estepona, Spain, aged 92, after breaking her thigh bone.[3] French culture minister Audrey Azoulay said of Madelaine Lebeau after her death: "She was a free woman who lived by her own rules, totally inhabiting the roles entrusted to her by leading directors. She will forever be the face of French resistance."[1] As it turns out, Lebeau herself had fled Nazi-engulfed Europe with her Jewish husband, Marcel Dalio, who plays Emil the croupier at Rick’s Café and who was already famous in Europe for his winning performances https://www.neh.gov/humanities/2017/winter/feature/in-casablanca-madeleine-lebeau-became-forever-the-face-french-resistance Yvonne was HOT!!! |

That movie scene has a lot more power and balls when you know the words and that they sing about spilling their enemies blood in the dirt. That part goes over most american’s heads, all american’s know it is the French National anthem. F the Nazis! They had it coming. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: those movies from that era are fanstically written and you get such a wonderful cinematic experience because they were truly world class thespians. No CGI, no fancy cameras mounts, etc. The actors had to make the magic come through the lens to the screen. The great Irony about CGI is that instead of making movies better subtly, IE Forrest GUMP (chocked full of CGI that you don't notice) they turn movies into crap these days. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: There is a scene where Bogie and the nazi are talking and bogie says "I also understand the perspective of the hound". It was a very clever insult, calling the german a dog to his face in that way. The nazi could say nothing. Watch for people uprighting spilled wine glasses. The movie is chock full of little touches like that. Yeah it's old school and not always as polished as modern fare, but it beats the fuck out of watching people dressed up in tights pretending to be superheroes. those movies from that era are fanstically written and you get such a wonderful cinematic experience because they were truly world class thespians.

The great Irony about CGI is that instead of making movies better subtly, IE Forrest GUMP (chocked full of CGI that you don't notice) they turn movies into crap these days. So true. The directors that could use the artful exploitation of light and dark to magically enhance the scene,...damn good film. Love black and white, film noire. The Third Man is my favorite movie where the black and white light usage increases the value of the shot five fold. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Great movie, seen it countless times. That said it has a few holes in the plot. Why are German couriers carrying letters of transit from Charles DeGaulle? And what good would a letter of transit signed by Charles DeGaulle be in Vichy Casablanca? How did Rick and Ilsa meet? Why didn't the Germans just kill Victor Lazlo when they had him in the concentration camp? Because Americans would be more likely to know DeGaulle's name than François Darlan. We said no questions. They wanted him to reveal information about his allies in the Resistance. Notice that's the first thing Strasser asks of him. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you like Casablanca, you will like the follow on To Have and Have Not (1944). I really liked the Hemingway novel of the same name (one of the few people who does). The movie shares almost NOTHING with the book other than the title! However, I thought the movie was good too. The ending was a little too convenient for my taste but a good plot and great acting none the less. If you read at all, “Islands In The Stream” (also by Hemingway) is really good and shares that fighting NAZIs in the Caribbean setting. |

I think in 1942, when the outcome of the war was far from certain, that was exactly the message Allied audiences needed to hear. The translation in those subtitles is interesting, both in what was chosen to be used and what was not chosen. "To cut the throats of your children and partners" instead of "your brothers and brothers in arms" or "your brothers and battle buddies" (though it would not have been translated that way in 1942). Or "qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons" as "let their blood spill and soak into the dirt" instead of "their blood will fertilize the bed [of the tree of liberty]" (implied bracketed phrasing mine). I don't think that's directly relevant to any kind of commentary at the time or in the moment then, but it stood out to me as what should have been considered if it were presented now. |
