The post John Ford – The Grapes of Wrath (1940) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

A peace-loving, part-time sheriff in the small town of Firecreek must take a stand when a gang of vicious outlaws takes over his town.

Roger Ebert wrote:
The Jimmy Stewart hero usually isn’t very happy with his job. He doesn’t go around sticking his neck out. He’s no John Wayne type. But finally he gets pushed beyond the breaking point and Wayne hath no fury like a Stewart scorned.

“Firecreek” presents the Stewart hero in a familiar disguise. This time, Jimmy is the part-time sheriff of a town populated with broken-down, defeated settlers. He gets two bucks a month and wears a “Sharaf” badge his kids have hammered out of tin. His wife is expecting another baby any minute now, and the last thing he wants is trouble.

But then a gang of bad guys rides into town. At first you don’t realize they’re bad guys, because they’re led by Henry Fonda, who always plays good guys. He does this time, too. That is, he’s not as bad as the guys in his gang. He’s an essentially decent person on the wrong side, like Rommel in the desert.

But he’s been wounded, and while he’s being tended by a kindly landlady (Inger Stevens), his boys shoot up the town. Stewart, pushed beyond the proverbial breaking point, fights back. There’s a shootdown in the great Western tradition, ending at last with the confrontation of reluctant heroism (Stewart) and reluctant evil (Fonda), both wear gray hats, appropriately.

“Firecreek” was obviously conceived with high aims. I have the feeling that the people involved thought they were making a pretty good movie. And they almost did. Several scenes, including one between Stewart and his pregnant wife (Jacqueline Scott), and another between Fonda and Miss Stevens, are filled with tenderness.

But somehow the parts don’t quite come together. Despite the presence of character actors like the legendary Ed Begley, despite the effective dust-blown photography, despite Stewart and Fonda, something is missing.

The tension we need to draw us into the story isn’t there; things move at too leisurely a pace, and the movie, like the Jimmy Stewart hero, has to be dragged into the excitement against its will.

The post Anatole Litvak – The Long Night (1947) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
Hitchcock’s long-standing fear of the police is what originally attracted him to a newspaper account of a family man wrongly identified as an armed robber. The Wrong Man pays scrupulous attention to such things as the details of police procedure and the eventual apprehension of the real culprit – before the conviction of the wrongly accused man (Fonda), but after the stress has driven his wife (Miles) to mental breakdown. The result is Hitchcock’s most sombre film, unrelieved by his usual macabre humour; the black-and-white photography and the persecuted Fonda’s sharply chiselled features lend an impressive documentary feel. It’s not generally rated among the master’s best works, largely because of the intractability of the source material (or Hitchcock’s unwillingness to dramatise the events). But there’s still plenty here for Hitchcockophiles: a Jesuitical strain (the man happened to be a devout Catholic), a complicity of guilt (as the wife irrationally comes to blame herself); and it’s pure noir.

The post Alfred Hitchcock – The Wrong Man (1956) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
‘The US intelligence chief in Europe relates the stories of three different operations that he was involved in with colleagues in Paris and Djibouti, Rome, and Berlin.’

‘La guerre secrete is divided into [three] separate vignettes, each scene representing a day in the life of international espionage agents. Stories involve a secret agent who goes undercover as a kidnapper, an attempt to impede a Russian attack on two submarines, and an undercover agent confronting a traitor in the Berlin offices of the CIA. Linking the stories is Robert Ryan as a US Intelligence chief.’
– Hal Erickson
