DownGoesFrazier Posted June 9, 2009 Seeing "The Big Heat" again yesterday reminded me what a great noir it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodGolightly Posted June 9, 2009 I agree, finance, I think it's one of the best - and Fritz Lang could definitely take credit for a lot of the look of noirs, I think, due to his early work in German expressionism, which inspires noir visually to some extent. I am waiting to watch another Lang noir, Ministry of Fear. Have you seen it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted June 9, 2009 Yes, but it's not as good as "The Big Heat", "Scarlet Street", or "The Woman in the Window". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodGolightly Posted June 9, 2009 Ah, all is well, I have already seen those 3 Lang films, but this one I'm going to be watching for the first time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She looks lovely, doesn't she? I wish the print of the film was as clean. This movie and The Reckless Moment are my favorite Joan B movies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted June 12, 2009 That one was a surprise. She looks lovely, doesn't she? Mmmmmmmmm hmmmmm! I wish the print of the film was as clean. I know. I'd love to see it sneak into the next Warner Film Noir box set, but I'm not holding my breath. This movie and The Reckless Moment are my favorite Joan B movies. Bite your tongue! What about the Lang flicks? Have you ever seen The Macomber Affair? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, the setting for CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS is during the Czech resistance to the Nazis during WWII, a theme explored in noir director Fritz Lang's HANGMEN ALSO DIE!.

OllieTSB Posted June 18, 2009 Duffy's Tavern was one of a handful of gems that I discovered when I found all those old radio shows, and the Veronica Lake appearances are some of my favorites among them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
