Either no one cares, or we need some help. I can't believe no one cares. -
Never heard of that one. What's it about?

It has no great ambition. It doesn't attempt to make a transcendent statement about verities of the human condition. It does not build to an apocalyptic end. It tells a small story, usually about people, usually undistinguished. But It's well written, and acted, and the direction is competent, and when it ends, you say to yourself, that was well done. They don't rank with the best films ever made, but they are among the ones I like watching the most. Here are a few: Hide-Out. It takes a somewhat contrived plot to get a small-time hood out to the country to meet up with the expected pretty girl, but what's appealing is the patter between Maureen O'Sullivan and Robert Montgomery, delivered with an engaging off-handedness, enough to excuse the gooey sentimental ending. Mickey Rooney appears in a small part, which prevents his powerful screen presence from becoming annoying. It is also one of the few films that manages to portray the spontaneous noise and bustle of a family without being irritating. Remember My Name. Creepy, unsettling Geraldine Chaplin vehicle. A woman returns from prison to insinuate herself into her former husband's (now remarried) life. What's she after? Murderous revenge? Him? Ah, don't worry, it's not what you think. Angel and the Badman. A noted and notorious gunman (John Wayne) who straddles the line between the law and lawlessness collapses from wounds and exhaustion at a Quaker farm, to be taken in and nursed to health, primarily by the expected pretty daughter (the disturbing Gail Russell). The contrast between the man of violence and the family of peace provides the pretext for the love patter as the badman is infected with the contentment virus. He tries to escape it and return to his quasi-outlaw life, but, alas, it no longer holds it's old attraction for him. The film seems headed for the expected showdown with the for-real bad men. . . .or is it? Some really adept direction by James Edward Grant (one of only two he did), and the always-enjoyable acting by Harry Carey round out the movie.

She wasn't in many movies, but a number of them are ones TCM viewers would be familiar with, including one, coincidentally (and it was a coincidence), shown early today. -

>Sprocket_Man: >THE PRODUCERS is more directly derivative of THE FALCON IN HOLLYWOOD I don't see it. Compare the synopses: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/1260/New-Faces-of-1937/ http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/141/The-Falcon-in-Hollywood/ Now, I have no problem with Mr. Brooks being familiar with both movies, but the plot of New Faces is ostensibly about overselling a broadway production. In The Falcon, it is a plot element only discovered at the end of the film, the motivation for the murder mystery. -

Sorry, but it doesn't seem like your pic came through. You have to bracket the address for the picture between exclamation points. Of course, I can't show you, otherwise my example will be interpreted as a picture. Just put an exclamation point before and after the address for the picture, no spaces. -

Of course, Hollywood films had zero historical distortion, or Western propaganda.
