Another prize in this issue of Noir City Sentinel is Vince Keenan's piece on the films that Glen Ford and Rita Hayworth made together. Vince is particularly eloquent on the subject of The Money Trap based on (for me) Lionel White's finest novel of the same name. Don Westlake always acknowledged his debt to White. But he wasn't just talking about the caper novels that helped establish Parker. Get a...

Thanks to my friend and colleague Peter Andrews for this excellent, in-depth article. There is an assumption that film noir is a uniquely American phenomenon of the 1940’s and 1950’s, but similar content and stylistic elements exist in some British films of the same period. ‘Brighton Rock’ and ‘The Third Man’ are key examples. For the purpose of this article, noir...

In Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles, the 14th feature by the prolific indie auteur, British stage actor Christian McKay offers another invocation of the mythos that surrounded the titular American filmmaker. It is an impressive, dominating and completely engrossing performance which McKay, at the age of 34, has refined over the last few years since first inhabiting the legendary martinet in...

THE KILLER IS LOOSE is a very creepy crime noir directed by Budd Boetticher . I loved the deep cast and '50s L.A. area location shooting but wasn't crazy about the plot. All in all, I found it a flawed yet worthwhile film. Joseph Cotten plays Sam Wagner, an L.A. police detective who accidentally shoots and kills the wife of a bank robber, Leon Poole (Wendell Corey), when arresting Poole. Poole pledges...

No Orson. No zither. No masterful expressionism. Tobey Maguire instead of Joseph Cotten. Ageless 'pod actors' instead of worry-lined titans. Maybe you shouldn't step in the Turd Man, Leo Hold on to something firm and reliable, please this paper has no wish to cause accidents. Some stories hurt. Thus, there is a rumour going around that Leonardo DiCaprio is thinking of playing Harry Lime in a remake...

Why remake one of the greatest films (and that’s not just my opinion) ever made? If you can get Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire to star in it, the better question for any studio might be: Why not? According to CHUD , the two box office mega-stars may sign on for a remake of The Third Man . The original 1949 film-noir, directed by Carol Reed, starred Joseph Cotten as Holly Martins, a pulp...
