A scientist is sizing up Lefty as a human guinea pig (for his experiment that made real guinea pigs vanish):

“Perfect,” he says. “Just as I thought.” Naturally, I like compliments, but I realize I am no Victor Mature³⁵ and I wonder what he is fishing for. So I give him a long look, too.

The tales about #LeftyFeep that #RobertBloch wrote about in the 1940s are full of the culture of the era, and the slang of the society that the always-scheming ex-racketeer moved in. Hence the footnote in the collection, which points to

[35] Victor Mature was the Brad Pitt of the day.

Not the sort of image I expected to get from an old story. #BradPitt #VictorMature

Victor Mature, Jane Russell and Vincent Price star in the slightly noir-tinged 1952 crime/romance melodrama The Las Vegas Story (1952). Great use of the Vegas setting, three dazzling lead performances, lots of twisted romance. Very enjoyable.

Pickup Alley is a 1957 British crime thriller about a narcotics agent, directed by John Gilling. Victor Mature, Anita Ekberg and Trevor Howard are all excellent. Solidly plotted and well-crafted.

Hannibal (1959), a late Edgar G. Ulmer film. Surprisingly, a lavish costume epic with no less than 12,000 extras in the battle scenes. A good movie but could have been a great one if the studio had allowed Ulmer to make it the way he wanted to.

Jacques Tourneur’s Timbuktu is an old-fashioned Foreign Legion adventure movie, in fact even a little old-fashioned by the standards of 1958. That’s probably why I liked it so much. As a bonus it stars Victor Mature and Yvonne de Carlo.

Thoroughly enjoyable.
