      Positioning blurry shots

      The fundamental problem is that it lacks a core focus. Is it to track down the epidemic or catch the criminals? Obviously the film tends to the former, but does not give up the latter's statement line. In this way, the suspense that was originally aroused at the beginning was disturbed by the rushing of the impatient health officials. Therefore, the suspense of setting up the opening seems unnecessary.

      In fact, this is because the health officer is placed in the main aspect, which...

      public panic

      Kazan understands this kind of play very well, creating a sense of oppression. Boomerang! It's the same oppression, but I thought Panic in the streets was better. In a limited time, there are constant conflicts. At first, there are doctors and police, then doctors and sailors, doctors and reporters. The screenwriters continue to create and resolve conflicts, and even the final shootout scene is no longer important.

      Public panic has been a good subject for a long time, and it is...

      Widmark plays the doctor here, so fierce and cute (. (And finally, as the protagonist, he was spared the fate of being shot to death (although it is true that I love to see him being shot to death...) and his wife's The play is actually good, but it’s a bit off topic in this kind of theme (this part has the intention of discussing the stress and anxiety of the protagonist’s life, but the focus is relatively loose). I finally watched it without wearing a filter. The result was the first hot...

      It can be said to be an anti-epidemic propaganda film of Jiuwu. In the face of the plague, Jiuwu has realized that we are all in the same earth community, but now there are still medieval-like communities blocking themselves. A few brief conversations between the doctor played by Richard Widmark and the wife played by Barbara Bel Geddes make the images of the two vivid and three-dimensional. Still overcome these by his own methods, and it is also a rare tender moment in film noir. True black...

      The plot of the movie is quite good. No need to make things difficult for the details. No one cares whether the logic of such investigation is perfect. Seeing that Widmark really likes this "little person" so much. It is rare that this time I finally become a big...

    Movie plot

    On a dirty New Orleans street at night, we saw an upstairs window open. Poker is being played in that room. One of those players is Seaman Kochak (Lewis Charles), who picks up a cauldron he just won and says he doesn't feel well and needs a break. The other players objected, Black (Jack Palance), Raymond Fitch (Zero Mostel) and Poldy (Guy Tomayan), claiming it was too early to quit. Despite threats, Kochak left. Black quickly spoke to...
