Allied (2016)
A drama, love story and spy thriller set during WWII, in Casablanca & England. The movie is also of the type made in the same period, although there are some modern concessions made with regards strong language and violence.
The film didn't perform well at the box office, probably due to the understated nature of the film-making. Don't let this deter you, it is an excellent movie, and deserves a wider audience.
Recommended.

This week's #FridayFilm includes these two people in the cast. Do you know which film?
-
The character's name Elvis has no significance, and there is no music included in the film from the most famous bearer of that name. When discovering his name Anabelle exclaims "Really?", as one might in real life.
The movie does use some music, including "Via con me" by Paolo Conte. The song fits well with the film scene.
Anyone know what the Conte song is about? I'm particularly perplexed by the inclusion of "chips, chips".

Elvis and Anabelle (2007)
A love story.
A gothic, present-day, re-telling of the Sleeping Beauty tale. No surprises and nothing particularly novel, but, beautifully told. Compelling because the three leads portray such likeable characters.
Joe Mantegna is an old favourite, and I'd like to see more of Max Minghella and Blake Lively in the future. Writer and director Will Geiger also should be praised.
A definite thumbs-up. Watch it with your SO.

Top Secret! (1984)
A comedy gem.
A spoof on WWII movies, Elvis musicals, cold-war dramas, and many others. There are funny, spoken and visual, gags every ten seconds. You can, and should, see this movie several times to discover all the gags.
All the actors put in great performances, and Val does a superb job with the Elvis-style singing and dancing.
This movie was a moderate box-office hit at the time of release, but, has also become a cult classic.
A must-see.

Inception (2010)
A SciFi, action, adventure film exploring questions of morality by using multi-layered, induced dreams.
Nice cinematography, well acted, clever special effects, and an interesting concept.
However, the movie failed to get me invested in any of the characters. I couldn't care less about any of them. As I wasn't involved in the story, I found the 2 hours, 28 minutes really dragged.
Ignore the hype, watch something else.
-
American Made (2017)
An action, adventure, comedy movie, based on the exploits of a US pilot who smuggles guns for the CIA to General Noriega (Panama), and on the return trip brings cocaine into Louisiana.
It is a testament to the skills of director Doug Liman, and star Tom Cruise, that you will be rooting for this gun runner & drug dealer character.
Nicely filmed, great pace, & very entertaining. Plays fast & loose with actual history.
Thoroughly recommended.
-
This Means War (2012)
A combined action, sex comedy, and buddy movie.
Two CIA operatives (Chris Pine, Tom Hardy) compete to win the affections of the same girl (Reese Witherspoon). The two guys use the tools of their trade in the competition.
There are two sets of buddies: the two guys, and the girl and her best mate. The movie centres around the interactions between these four people. Luckily, the actors are charismatic enough to pull it off.
Entertaining fluff.

You'll notice in the period movie posters for Viva Las Vegas that although Ann-Margret is second-billed, her name is the same text size and font, as for Elvis.
For most of the other Elvis movies his female co-star is lucky to get a mention, never mind the same prominence.
I'm definitely going to do a follow-up on Ann-Margret, and get some of her other movies (and songs).

For a Few Dollars More (1965)
FAFDM is the second of the Dollars Trilogy &, to my mind, the best of the three. The 3rd installment has the more inventive cinematography and music, but, FAFDM has the better story. I really like the interplay between Eastwood & Van Cleef in this movie.
The Western was a tired formula when the Dollars Trilogy burst onto the scene in the mid-60s.
Set aside a weekend, & watch all three in chronilogical order. You won't be disappoined.
-
Green for Danger (1946)
This immediately post-war British whodunnit is an absolute gem.
An operating theatre patient dies in mysterious circumstances; all nurses and doctors are suspects.
Ostensibly, it stars Trevor Howard, Sally Gray and Leo Genn, but, from the moment he appears the movie is dominated by Alastair Sim, who is at his very best.
Parts of the plot are fantastic, but, you won't care as the performances and dialogue are just sublime.
A must watch.

Next week's #FridayFilm will feature this guy:

Miles Ahead (2015)
Biopic of the "jazz" legend, Miles Davis. Elements of Davis' real personal and musical life told through flashbacks, while an imagined encounter with a journalist unfolds.
I quite enjoyed the film, despite not being a jazz fan. Don Cheadle (Davis) and Ewan McGregor (journalist) made for an interesting buddy team. Direction is interesting, although the plot is a little flat.
Davis' violence towards women made him an unsympathetic character.
-
Come Next Spring (1956)
A very much under-rated (and relatively unknown) drama and romance movie, set in depression-era Arkansas. Matt, a reformed alcoholic, returns to his hometown, to win back his wife and family, whom he deserted, 9 years earlier.
No great surprises in the plot, which employs some well-worn devices, but, everything is exceedingly well done. The leads, and the two children, deliver great, believable performances.
Thoroughly recommended.
-
Girl in the Headlines (1963)
Is a British, detective, whodunit film starring Ian Hendry and Ronald Fraser. It is fairly cheaply made (shot in monochrome, for example), but entirely engrossing.
It is nicely shot, and all the actors deliver great performances. It has a convincing realism, but also manages plenty of humour.Thoroughly recommended.

I'm going to discuss:
Girl in the Headlines (1963)
and
Madeleine (1950)this weekend.
Why not watch one or both of these films, and join the discussion?

This week's #FridayFilm was:
Dear Murderer (1947)This film is an absolute belter of a #filmNoir. One of the best to come out of the UK, or anywhere for that matter. It was produced by the Gainsborough studios who were better known for making melodramas. However, this film, without being graphic, has some gruesome murders.
The setting is entirely stagey, without any outside locations, but is none the worse for it. You will be enthralled by the plot
Thoroughly recommended.

This week's #FridayFilm was Diplomatic Courier (1952).
DC is a rather superior Cold War spy thriller and #FilmNoir, starring Tyrone Power, Patricia Neal and Hildegard Knef. It has a feel of realism with the slightly out-of-his-depth diplomatic courier (played by TP) trying to prevent a secret document falling into the hands of the Soviets. All the leads put in great performances, B&W photography is very atmospheric, and the direction is suspenseful & taught.
Recommended.

I'm watching Down to Earth (1947), which is a musical, fantasy film & comedy starring Rita Hayworth. It is candyfloss light, but very entertaining.
The move is entirely a vehicle for Rita, and she really makes the most of it. She is superb. Rita plays the part of Terpsichore, one of the nine muses of Greek mythology, and the goddess of dance. Ms Hayworth, a dancer to trade, puts her skills to great effect. Rita playing a goddess is only too believable.
Recommended.

The restaurant scene with Lauren Bacall as Vivian, and Humphrey Bogart as Marlowe.
LB: Tell me: What do you usually do when you're not working?
HB: Oh, play the horses, fool around.
LB: No women?
HB: I'm generally working on something most of the time.
LB: Could that be stretched to include me?
HB: Well, I like you. I've told you that before.>>>

The film was, of course:
Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984)Quite a different film from the Johnny Weissmuller outings of the 1930s & 40s. Greystoke was closer to the Edgar Rice Burroughs book. It was also more sympathetic towards the animals.
Lambert was good as Tarzan, but the movie could have made more of the love between him & Jane. Andie MacDowell was under utilised. The 130 mins could have been better used.
Still worth seeing.
