  Great shots.  Cast is top notch. Kirk Douglas effective as the heavy.

  The Two Mrs. Carrolls 1947

  ★★★ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  There’s something off. From the odd few jump cuts to the manifestation of the illness to the end.  Something not clicking.  And it seems that Nigel Bruce has made a career of playing versions of this character.

  A Man Escaped 1956

  ★★★★★ Watched 22 Jul 2023 2

  Was there a spare frame?  A spare word?  No. Just a taut 100 minutes of watching French Alan Alda do his thing.

  Seconds 1966

  ★★★★ Watched 06 Jul 2024

  At some points feeling like a feature length episode of the Twilight Zone, but with great, nearly experimental shooting.  A few sequences felt a bit overlong to me.  Interesting that they kept a couple of the shots of other cameramen during the wine festival in the Final Cut.  That threw me a bit.
