Wife murderers don't come any more suave than Edward "Teddy" Bare" (Dirk Bogarde) in "Cast a Dark Shadow" (1955). His initial plan to inherit his wife's fortune does not go as planned, so he takes a second stab at it. But Teddy may not be the master in this chess game. #filmnoir

Movie Monday—Brings us to the last Comique two-reeler, ‘The Garage.' The thrills & spills of being a mechanic are ramped up a notch with the eponymous garage doubling as a fire station. Love rivalry, slapstick shenanigans & an emergency rescue all feature.

"At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That's a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try. There are only diamonds in the whole world, diamonds and perhaps the shabby gift of disillusion." F. Scott Fitzgerald, born 24 September 1896.

The Batman tv show is 60. Adam West should have got an Emmy for this scene alone. I love DeNiro, Washington, Day-Lewis etc but none of them have had an acting challenge like this. youtu.be/tgCkmUS1IYI?...

Jacques Deray’s THE OUTSIDE MAN (1972). A French hitman is sent to LA to kill a crime boss & then betrayed. Jean-Louis Trintignant is solid as a Euro cult Parker, backed up by great supporting cast. Strong parallels with Boorman’s POINT BLANK, including a great outsiders eye on American culture.

Chabrol's La Femme Infidèle (1969) is a dazzling dark comic thriller with a superb Michel Bouquet deliquescing from complacent smoothie to sweaty avenger when he discovers his wife Stéphane Audran's affair. Chabrol's swooning glides and ruthless close-ups make every scene unsettling. At BFI now.

Ida Lupino in Buddy Westmore’s make-up chair—being “trollop-ized” in the words of Paramount’s publicity department—while working on “The Light That Failed” (1939)

Lupino sits in make up chair, upper body covered with a protective sheet. Westmore leans over her, applying makeup under her left eye. A counter covered in jar, bottles and makeup tools is immediately behind them.

Original caption:
TROLLOP-IZING--It isn't' a new Hollywood diet, but a type of makeup that gives a slovenly appearance to a lovely young girl. Ida Lupino undergoes the treatment at the hands of "Buddy" Westmore for her role in Paramount's "The Light That Failed." The young English actress plays the immortal Bessie role in William A. Wellman's filmization of the Kipling classic.

By far the funniest moment in Homer’s Odyssey is when Circe says, “Shall we have sex?” and Odysseus says, “You just turned all my men into pigs. You have the GALL to think I would sleep with you? Of course I will. Absolutely. But don’t do any weird spells”

photograph of the relevant passage in Fitzgerald's translation of the Odyssey ("I make no bed of love with you upon it. Or swear me first a great oath, if I do, you'll work no more enchantment to my harm.")

VIOLENT SATURDAY (Richard Fleischer, 1955). Enjoyed this engaging film which hovers between heist movie and melodrama without going full tilt on either. Virginia Leith shines in a small role, wiping the floor with pretty much every other actor on screen here. (1/2) #FilmSky

Love these films. Highly recommended to anyone who’s never seen them. Don’t read up about it first as it’ll spoil the story’s quietly devastating power. Yves Montand, Gerard Depardieu, Daniel Auteuil & Emanuelle Beart are one of the best casts ever assembled.
