  2. Watching the 1954 series: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

    It is pretty fun. I found it on archive.org. It has 39 episodes which are each around half an hour long.

    The actors play the characters very good and the episodes are pretty good in terms of story and visual quality (good rip).

    The actors haven't been in anything else of note.

  4. Interesting juxtaposition of everyday life, revolution, and state violence in an early 20th-century short by film pioneer Alice Guy. Gender, class, and respectability also figure in this tale, which features a nonchalant summary execution.

  5. Rich stencil coloured sequences, intriguing mise en scène and elaborate costumes can be found in abundance in Rapsodia Satanica [Satan’s Rhapsody] dir. Nino Oxilia, 1917.

  6. Director Carol Reed and cinematographer Robert Krasker meet for the first time in the phychologically intense and visually stunning film noir Odd Man Out (1947).

    An absolute bonus for the film, James Mason's soulful performance as the hunted IRA revolutionary Johnny McQueen.

  7. Last night's #CriterionChannel #ScrewballComedy was 1937's "Easy Living." The Sturges screenplay isn't so crisp, and it may be director Leisen's first stab at comedy, and it shows. Jean Arthur is a delight throughout, Edward Arnold does most of the other acting work (Ray Milland may as well be a hatrack for all he's given to do), several of what would be the Sturges stock company appear, and I was pretty sleepy anyway so won't judge it too harshly.

  8. Sometimes a film I've loved in the past doesn't quite hold up - but rather chuffed how much I still enjoyed The Thin Man (1934) this evening (must be 15+ years since I last saw it) - maybe loved it even more than before. Such an adorable cast. Nice to see it on the big screen too!
