#UnapallottolaperRoy di #RaoulWalsh Il genere gangster nasce a partire dagli anni Trenta, quando Hollywood scopre il fascino che hanno i banditi come Dillinger o Bonnie e Clyde sul grande pubblico. Sono senza dubbio criminali sanguinari ed eroi negativi, ma che fondano la loro rabbia e la loro fame di soldi e potere sulle rovine della Grande Depressione.

Raoul Walsh's High Sierra (1941) made stars of both Humphrey Bogart and Ida Lupino and it's an important proto-noir. Bogart and Lupino are both mixed up in a disastrous bank robbery and then they're on the run in the great outdoors.

Lacks the true noir visual style but it's a great movie.

We watched "Big Brown Eyes" the other night via Criterion Channel. Apparently not much appreciated on its release in 1936, both the Mrs and I thoroughly enjoyed. Snappy dialogue, good cast, cool cinematography. Also amazingly efficiently done with its running time of around an hour. Left you wanting more. Directed by Raoul Walsh with Cary Grant, Joan Bennett, and Walter Pidgeon.
