Safe in Hell 1931
Great pre-code humor and dark subject matter wrapped in a creatively shot/edited package. Steers clear of sexist and racist clichés of the time. Gilda Carlson’s character is hardcore!!

Vertigo 1958
The first time I watched Vertigo, I enjoyed it, but felt a bit let down by the 3rd act. This time around though it felt nearly perfect to me. I think having a better understanding of Noir now helped me understand what a complete shakeup of the genres conventions it is. James Stewart is soooo damn good in this. His transformation from likeable detective to controlling monster feels like a precursor to the anti-hero’s of the 70’s. Love the uncanny sequences at the mission and forest.
