Notorious (1946)

August 29, 2014 // 0 Comments

Notorious (1946) One of Hitchcock’s most acclaimed (discussed & analyzed) films. It certainly contains terrific characterizations by its three lead actors: Cary Grant (inexplicably ignored by the Academy) Ingrid Bergman and Claude Rains (whose performance did receive a nomination). The love story within is what distinguishes this thriller from his others. Grant’s character must convince the woman he comes to love (Bergman) to [...]

We’re Only Human (1935) Directed by James Flood and based on the Thomas Walsh story Husk with a screenplay by Rian James this below average crime drama features one dimensional characters and a lead acting performance by Preston Foster that’s so overdone that he must have been thinking this was a silent film. Foster plays a pigheaded lone wolf detective who’s so emotionally unstable that it’s a credibility stretch to [...]

COURTROOM DRAMAS

Courtroom Dramas

August 29, 2014 // 0 Comments

Courtroom Dramas Films which feature an ending trial or contain one within are too numerous to list; plus I’ve intentionally left out court-martial trials and other forms of military justice (perhaps I’ll explore this topic in a future essay). I’ve also decided to exclude (e.g. biographical) stories about lawyers and judges and I’ve excluded 12 Angry Men (1957) because it’s about jury deliberations. Instead [...]
