“I think you can do your article by thinking about the film for yourself. I’m not the writer. I have already done the film—so now it’s your work.” I love this comment from Chantal Akerman #BOTD in response to a critic asking her about her work.

Jazz legend Miles Davis was #BOTD in 1926. The innovative and influential trumpeter composed the beautiful soundtrack to “Elevator to the Gallows” (1958) directed by Louis Malle. Lovers Jeanne Moreau and Maurice Ronet plan a murder but things get complicated. Nouvelles Éditions de Films. #FilmNoir

Directed by John Cassavettes “The Killing of a Chinese Bookie” (1976) is the story of Cosmo (Ben Gazzara) a burlesque club owner in deep for a lot of money. Mobsters tell him to take out a bookmaker to settle scores. But he just wants to give the audience a good show. Faces Distribution. #neonoir
