[rischka]

thanks dear. check resources after a bit

[arkheia]

Wow, My first Gréville and I'm quite impressed by its mobile impressionistic camera. If anyone speaks French, Bertrand Tavernier has a little video segment where he talks about the film here

Thanks for sharing the film, Rischka! Rest up and hope you feel better!

marcel tourneur's justin de marseille (i found film and subs but they don't match)

Try here.

I was kind of disappointed, but the late Pierre Rissient, among others, loved it.

[sally]

ah thanks angel, but i'm just not able to use that site for some reason. nevermind. (if anyone can get past the 5 sec wait page where it freezes, and wants to pm me the link, i could handle that though!)

[therouxxx]

if you don't mind parsing through polish, this site seems to have backed up hmb

[sally]

thanks! but you have to pay to download? not sure i trust my parsing enough to know what i'm doing there. now i'm just torturing myself

[arkheia]

[sally]

[therouxxx]

thanks! but you have to pay to download?

ahh my bad looks like you're right. i was able to queue up an srt, but it was small enough to slide under the paywall

The Murder Man (1935) ⁠— A good, not great, MGM newspaper flick. Its greatest selling point is that this is the first feature film appearance of Jimmy Stewart, and he's a notable presence from the first. Recommended to bure420 and other big-time fans of Jimmy Stewart.

[sally]

everyone is so diligently watching 1935 movies, my watchlist keeps increasing dammit

[rischka]

now i want to compare and contrast chenal's c & p with sternberg's. peter lorre! however sternberg himself wasn't fond of the film and graham greene gave it a poor review, preferring this version too many choices. but it's a fine adaptation as far as dostoyevsky is film-adaptable

[rischka]

this might be the most adorable pic of jimmy stewart i've ever seen

[wba]

this might be the most adorable pic of jimmy stewart i've ever seen

adorable, i'd say !

[sally]

wow. i got an actual shiver down my spine during crime & punishment. harry baur knows that i'm watching and i know that i'm guilty. brrrr.

& didn't know that marcel ayme did the script. nice. (and it looked wonderful. still gotta beat sokurov's whispering pages for heaviest dostoevsky atmosphere though)

thanks rischka for making it available!

Yur welcome

The scenes were the trains were connecting with each other were probably the most explicit ones.

[sally]

two women with a donkey waving at a bunch of naked guys in a river.

thank you 1935.

[rischka]

the gréville was a pleasure of adult themes treated with rare sophistication. rare for hollywood, if not for the french. ty sally for bringing it to my attention!



see also brief ecstasy (1937), gréville's british picture made for ealing, for some reason retitled 'dangerous secrets' for US release. BLURGH

The year's Ophuls is Gold-Diggers Of 33 au Paris, with cocaine and lesbians.

[sally]

okay. i don't get it. how on earth does anyone find marlene dietrich attractive? if only the baroncelli version had sternberg as DP.

I couldn't stand Gypo from the second he appeared on screen and I wished someone had shot him dead a few seconds later. But it took almost the entire movie for my wish to come true.

[Evelyn Library P.I.]

Yours truly (as Patsy Kelly in The Tin Man) bathing in the deep waters of 1935.

[Roscoe]

I couldn't stand Gypo from the second he appeared on screen and I wished someone had shot him dead a few seconds later. But it took almost the entire movie for my wish to come true.

Gypo's a pretty dreadful guy, no question about it. At least McLaglen and Ford don't sugar coat it. There's a British version of the novel, predating the Ford, available in sound and silent versions, with a much more dashing and handsome Lars Hansen as Gypo. It's handsomely made, and has a couple of key differences in the storyline. Worth checking out, but I have to say it can't come within miles of the Ford version. Avoid the sound version of the UK release, though -- the weird dubbing they do to cover up some accents is a major distraction.

Gypo's a pretty dreadful guy, no question about it.

Most of all he was boring and very very very irritating. I was thoroughly tired of him after the first 10 minutes. Those 90 minutes felt like 900. I'm surprised I stuck with it.

this is a very weak ford imo

I almost bailed out a dozen times.

A deep cut for the hispanophones: Escala En La Ciudad - Alberto de Zavalia, Argentina/1935.

Adjacent to: Her Man, The Salvation Hunters, G. Dulac, J. Renoir, E. Ulmer. I'm not completely sure whether it's avant/experimental or outsider/naive, but it works as artfilm, and works beautifully. I'm going to try to do subs for this one, but I doubt they'll be ready before 10/1.
