I wrote about Easy Living and Midnight, both directed by under-appreciated queer filmmaker Mitchell Leisen, for Bright Wall/Dark Room. Link here!
“Despite traces of his legacy in notable contemporary filmmakers, Mitchell Leisen’s legacy is still small in comparison to his ability. If his collaborative working methods and aesthetically oriented, implicitly queer style have marginalized his body of work, then there is value in reclaiming the best of them as important, unique films in cinematic history.”
