  10. Well, I consider it primarily a heist movie, and it also seems to have been, quite possibly, somewhat of an inspiration for Quentin Tarantino when he was writing Reservoir Dogs. I guess some people might consider it somewhat noirish, in that it deals with some pretty dark emotions of at least one major character, and the dark journey of Payne's character as he tries to redeem himself in the eyes of society. As I look back on nearly 30 noirs that I've seen in the last 2 weeks, I have come to the conclusion that the most noirish movies to me almost invariably have a much deeper sense of gloom and despair, of existential anguish. I don't think KCC has that element, but aside from that reservation, it's a crime movie that I enjoyed more than I thought I would. And seeing the secret side of that former police captain is definitely quite a contrast to the usually sunny view of authority figures in most 50's movies, so I guess it must have had packed a much greater punch back when it was first released.
  11. > {quote:title=traceyk wrote:}{quote} > OK, this may get me in trouble, but how come no one complains when cartoons lampoon white people? Hi, traceyk, and welcome to the boards. There are many ways to answer such a question, but none I'm afraid that wouldn't take this thread in an overtly political direction, which is not the spirit in which it was intended. Let's just say that people may have justifiable concerns, I guess, due to Disney's past record in this matter.
  12. I have regrettably never watched Make Way for Tomorrow, sure hope TCM could get the rights to it someday. Fay Bainter and Thomas Mitchell are some of my favorite character actors. Seems like this is a Paramount title, so let's cross our fingers that TCM's upcoming deal with MCA/Universal (which controls the rights) might yield results. Otherwise, it seems the movie is _only_ available on an imported DVD from France:
