    The Lady from Shanghai

    ★★★½

    This one started losing me (multi-session viewing doesn’t help) as Welles, mumbled through a “Black Irish” street brogue for an hour, getting batted around by obvious noir elements for 90 minutes, before a stunning capper, visually if not narratively.  An okay time, clashes of inner and outer beauty and ugliness.

    It’s a Thin Man movie!  By way of George Smiley.

    ★★★

    Best picture nominee 1938.

    Tired first half started to win me over by the end.  Two lovers keep missing each other through a decade or so of professional hits and misses, marriages and affairs and a 30 second montage of WWI. Decent music, really could do without Tyrone Power in anything

  • The Quick and the Dead

    ★★★½

    Delicious pulp with plenty of Raimi touches and ‘90s action moments.
