Mam'selle dear lady

Starring Chad Widmark, Jane Peters and Thelma Ritter, in Samuel Fuller's film noir, a thief mistakenly steals state secrets and becomes the target of both black and white. A very classic noir film, it was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival and nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Thelma and the enemy's rivalry is very classic.
       Thelma Ritter plays a police informant, but unfortunately this time she is involved in an...

Homme Fatal

I saw a very interesting comment, saying that although this film is a noir film, it lacks the common elements and patterns of film noir. For example, a common pattern in film noir is that the male protagonist originally lives in a stable order, but due to some hidden unsatisfied desire, stimulated and seduced by femme fatale, he will fall into the black world. Struggling to survive in the chaos; none of those elements in this film, no hero falling from a decent life, no femme fatale. But if the...

one of fuller's best movies

When talking about why the film was made, director Samuel Fuller said: "I had an idea that popped into my mind: the film has three protagonists. A lady, a woman who is an informant. The little guy at the bottom, but on the front line of the Cold War. The producers wanted a courtroom scene, but I told Zanuck that I wanted to tell the story of a professional thief with real dialogue..."

That's right, this is A three-person movie. On the tram, the thief Skip stole the wallet of the woman...

Those who don't like to watch "film noir" may think that "film noir" is a story about a group of lawless guys breaking the law. actually not. The characters in "film noir" each have their own moral bottom line, but their moral bottom line is different from that of ordinary people. Those who have no moral bottom line are often the most miserable and embarrassed in "film noir". guy.
  Let's talk about the "informer" Mon. She actually has the worst living conditions among all the characters...

At the beginning of the film, the thief skip stole the wallet of the female protagonist candy's bag on a crowded tram. As a result, the wallet contained a state secret film, which was in the hands of the Communist Party organization, and the lady was only used to I don't know anything about film and my friend joe who is a communist party.

What impressed me deeply was the norms of the thief world (such as the usual behavior of stealing) and the relationship between police and thieves, the police use thieves to catch thieves, and the punishment measures for thieves. Moy struggled to make a living by turning around. He was exhausted by providing information to the police and civilians, and taking the opportunity to sell ties. There are principles in doing things, and therefore, light music for relaxation has become a requiem. The...

Great first 40 minutes of the movie! It is not a loss that Quentin imitates the object, and the lines, design and performance of all kinds of villains are in place. This D9 version menu has trailers for many other movies directed by Samuel Fuller, who is politically...
