brief encounter - david lean
dark is the night - boris barnet
they were expendable - john ford

i rewatched the harvey bunny movie lately.....are there any critical writings about it? it was a much better film than i remember, it has a pleasingly odd tone at times....and it's pretty unique so thought someone somewhere might have written something more on it other than 'huh who are the crazy on...

arme lena - otto rippert (1918) punq, as ever, is totally wrong, this was totally charming, so much more light and effortless than the last two 24's i watched. it's a shame not more of his stuff is available, at least in decent quality, this had an almost lubitsch energy to it, and ressel orla is ad...
