  • Julian Roffman – The Bloody Brood (1959) 

    1951-1960CanadaCrimeDramaJulian Roffman

    Quote:
    “This movie is good. The beatnik scene, with its pseudo-intellectualism, is played to the hilt. The atmosphere brought to life via a knowledgeable use of black and white, with good sets and staging, helps a lot. Peter Falk ( and I’d never seen him play a role quit like THIS one before ) comes across as wonderful talent. Frankly, his portrayal of Nico has Oscar nominee written all over it. I’ve said it before and I say it here again … Low budget doesn’t mean no quality. This movie is good quality. Its a credit to the crime drama genre. And there is a sound psychology to both the plot line and the character development that I liked very much. Think: Peer pressure. The part I thought both funny and prophetic … Heres the future Colombo with a detective on his tail. The name of the detective? McLeod.”Read More »

  • William Castle – New Orleans Uncensored (1955)

    USA1951-1960CrimeFilm NoirWilliam Castle

    Hal Erickson wrote:
    Hot on the heels of Warner Bros.’ New York Confidential came Columbia’s New Orleans Uncensored. Lensed in semi-documentary fashion by future horror maven William Castle, the film stars Arthur Franz as New Orleans dockworker Dan Corbett. Attempting to remain honest, Corbett runs afoul of crime kingpin Zero Saxon (Michael Ansara), who controls the dockworkers union and runs a smuggling operation on the side. When his best friend is killed by Saxon’s goons, Corbett agrees to cooperate with the authorities in bringing the racketeer to justice. As a means of “balancing” the picture, several real-life New Orleans civic leaders and union heads–all with purportedly clean records–appear as themselves.Read More »
