She was so underappreciated in her day and while she has become more admired since her passing she deserves to be better known outside of noir circles. <br /><br />I've finally managed to see all her films excepting the Holy Grail Italian film Angels of Darkness which beside Linda has Anthony Quinn, Giulietta Masina and Valentina Cortese in the cast so its unavailability really puzzles me. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-15536995426920833782019-05-24T07:31:13.878-04:002019-05-24T07:31:13.878-04:00Oh,..I was hoping you would have seen The Birdcage...Oh,..I was hoping you would have seen The Birdcage which is very funny.

Algiers relies on Boyer and Hedy...Love your picks!<br /><br />Algiers relies on Boyer and Hedy's charms to sustain it but they do so very well. Have you ever seen the semi-musical remake Casbah with Tony Martin (EGADS) in the Boyer role, the ill-fated Marta Toren in Hedy's and Yvonne de Carlo wasted in a small part. It's a hooty mess.<br /><br />Fistful of Dollars is one of Clint's better spaghetti Westerns and The Birdcage just a hilarious ripper of a comedy with a dream cast.<br /><br />I focused on French films this time with three classics transposed with varying degrees of success.<br /><br />The 13th Letter (1951)-A study of the insidious damage suspicion can cause as a series of poison pen letters threatens to destroy a small Quebec town. Otto Preminger directs this atmospheric remake of Henri-Georges Clouzot’s 1943 film Le Corbeau with an excellent cast headed by Linda Darnell and Charles Boyer.<br /><br />Human Desire (1954)-When the boorish Carl Buckley (Broderick Crawford) is fired from the railroad he persuades his sexpot wife Vicki (Gloria Grahame) to go see his boss to try and get his job back. She acquiesces and is successful but Carl becomes convinced that she is now having an affair with the man and murders him. Fed up with his loutish ways Vicki ensnares Jeff (Glenn Ford), one of Carl’s co-workers, in a plot to murder him. Darkness ensues. Fritz Lang directs this remake of the 1938 Jean Renoir film La Bête Humaine with his usual hard eyed view.<br /><br />Diabolique (1996)-A pious Catholic schoolmistress (Isabelle Adjani) with a horribly abusive husband (Chazz Palminteri) joins forces with her husband’s mistress (Sharon Stone), a fellow teacher at the school and equally abused by the man to murder him and free themselves of his tyranny. They carry out the crime and dispose of his body in the school’s unused swimming pool. But when the pool is drained no body is present. What is going on? An adequate but disappointing redo of Henri-Georges Clouzot’s masterful classic-1955 Les Diaboliques with Simone Signoret and Vera Clouzet. You’d do better to track down the 70’s TV version “Reflections of Murder” with Joan Hackett and Tuesday Weld. It’s much better. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-24914945018771093342019-05-23T21:59:14.551-04:002019-05-23T21:59:14.551-04:00Have yet to see Birdcage, alas.
