    I think I just fell in love with this movie at the right time in my life. It was about 25 years ago and I’ve had a hard time finding fault with anything in the movie since. This rewatch was no different. I love it. It’s a total gem.

    I saw this on a list of underrated crime noirs from the 50s. I enjoyed it, it was pretty funny seeing Sinatra smacking around the little kid. Not in a sadistic way, it was funny because Sinatra looks so tiny compared to every other actor on that set. He looks like he weighs 85 pounds. And the kid looks like he weighs about 80 pounds. It just made me laugh because it looked like he needed to use a lot…

    Anchorman meets Apocalypse Now in an episode of Colombo.

    The editing and cinematography are really good. The directing is strong as hell. It takes a lot of work to line up all those shots with helicopters, people and cars. The stunts are ridiculous. They literally hit a guy in the head with a helicopter. Wild shit. 

    I watched this because it’s profiled in the next episode of the Video Archives Podcast. I’m curious what those dudes are going to say about this. I really liked it, but it could’ve done without the awkward love story and the 40s music was a touch too much.

    A little too zany for my taste.
