Old School Forever!
Good evening people. Chad Newfield here. Love this movie. Classic cinema I can watch many times again and never get bored ...ever. Well the same movie twice a month, lol....got to have some balance in entertainment. Brodrick Crawford was an excellent actor. Just awesome fast talking character who is right to the point. He showed good acting range in this movie too. From being a concerned, mild mannered canadate about saying "what this state needs", to passionately mad and alive with his beliefs that he will be the best governor in Louisiana. (My review will contain some spoilers, haha come on it's from 1949), check out Crawford's character Willie Stark when he gives his appointed attorney general a sneer and says "Now your scared", referring to the Pillsbury incident. He definitely plays this part to...the...tee. And what's wonderful about classic cinema are the supporting characters complimenting the starring players with solid acting. You have John Ireland working as Willie Starks research man, and Mercedes Mcambridge with a very recognizable voice (sounds like a much older Rocky Squirrel from the Bullwinkle cartoon) who knows a thing or two about dirty politics. I mean this lovely actress was cast maybe as the seventh or eighth name during the opening movie credits, and she wins a Oscar! For best supporting actress! She must of been over the moon and back winning that award. This was her first movie! There is a reason why Orson Wells said that Mercedes was the best radio actress he ever seen. And she gives a solid performance in this picture, being Willie Stark's loyal employee in politics, to talking about her childhood experience with chicken pox. This actress has pretty good range(besides The Scarf, and Johnny Guitar, check her out in her small role in the Orson Wells picture A Touch of Evil. With a much different voice she use, you couldn't tell it was her by just listening. I can name all the different actors and actresses whom bright their A game in this flick. But I'll just name one more. Anne Seymour plays Lucy Stark, Willie Stark's loyal wife. Just unbelievable, everything you wish a wife to be. Intelligent, loyal and a best friend. Even when Willie becomes a show off playboy, his suffering wife is still by his side. I mean how can you do that to a good woman? Yes, your thoughts will be in this movie too because of the professional acting. Check out Lucy with a proud, quiet smile when her son confesses to his girlfriend's father on what he had done. Well I won't get anymore details out, there's more to this picture. Loosey based on the Louisiana politician Huey Long. I remember some of his story from an old episode of Unsolved Mysteries long ago. One of my favorite parts of this movie is the playground scene. Haha, check it out. I give long reviews and long texts on stuff I'm passionate about. So stay tuned for more movie reviews. I don't know if I got this movie from this buyer, but my clothes are done, time to call it a day. Broderick Crawford was in many movies, but check out The Lone Star state, and a movie with the charming Anna May Wong called The Island of Lost Men. Peace

Good movie
I think its a good value. I don't mind paying a Andrew Jackson for quality film noir. This film delivers with film noir bravo. I read on the net that film noir is French for dark picture or movie. These type of pictures don't always have a happy ending. Sometimes a bad ending. Usually though, somewhere in between. Your classic film noir ( in my opinion) has a anti hero, or questionable good guy whom is hardboiled, weary of his part of the world he lives in, that sometimes falls hard in temptation. Sometimes that temptation is a scheming woman that looks too good to be true. Classic film noir usually has alot of cigarette smoke, some gun action, a saxophone playing in the background at times to set the mood of particular circumstances, and yes, the movie applied in black and white to top it off. The best film noir (my opinion) have private investigators such as Humphrey Bogart, and Robert Mitchum playing the leading characters. Well hopefully I explained to the best of my ability what film noir is to maybe new people whom not aquatinted with old black and white movies. I'm sure the rest of the old school viewers already know. Well the Odds Against Tomorrow is definitely a film noir. This movie stars Harry Belafonte as a down and out gambler that owes some bad men money. He continues to play the horse races despite being in a loosing streak, to stay alive. Robert Ryan plays Earle Slater as a man who has a manslaughter charge on his last record, whom can't seem to find a job, let alone hold one. Ed Begley plays Burke, a former policeman whom did time in the can (probably because he wouldn't give up his connections to his higher superiors) whom is tired of living the life he has now. Burke sees an opportunity to make easy dough (50 grand) by taking advantage of Ingram (Belafonte) and Slater's bad luck situation. They find a bank to rob at night where only one employee is working at that time, or two that supposedly easy pickings. Is this a easy assignment? Only one problem. Slater is racist, and since Ingram is black, Slater let's Ingram and Burke know about what he thinks about the whole set up. Ingram doesn't mind telling Slater exactly what time of day it is without looking at his watch. But they both know they need the money bad, and Burke makes sure that he is the glue to keep his new bank robbing team together. I won't tell you the ending of course, let's just say that Labor Ready temp services wasn't an option in 1959 ha ha. Not for these hard on their luck individuals in this picture. What I love about these classic cinema movies, is the leading and supporting characters usually have excellent character development, with hard hitting dialogue. Two of the main ingredients for film noir I'm sure of. I also like reading in between the lines. One such example in this movie is where are the beginning Slater is nice to a little black girl. You couldn't tell that he is racist until he meets Ingram. This tells me that Mr. Robert Ryan was telling the audience "I'm only playing a character. I'm not racist at all". And yes he is the best part of this movie. His character can be mellow, then all of a sudden turn sour and mean in a moments notice. He was really good at playing them type of characters. Shelly Winters plays Slater's devoted lady that doesn't care how much money he makes, as long as they are together. This really is what the whole movie is about, but you see it's much more with the banter that goes back and forth between Slater and Ingram. And yes, possibly a ending that the viewer didn't expect. For me this movie was even better the second time around, and I don't mind (and never bored) watching the same movie twice a month, or one a month. Old school forever! I just take a DVD off the shelf, put in the disc in the DVD player, push play, and let my eye balls have some quality entertainment vitamins for fun viewing. Best line in this movie when Slater says in a bar calm but serious "Any particular hand?" Hope this review helps, forgive me for any typos. Peace.
