I noticed that someone has uploaded the 1955 Anthony Mann / Jimmy Stewart movie "Strategic Air Command" to the Internet Archive. This must be a pirate copy.

Interesting IMO mainly for the aerial photography of the B-36 bomber, built originally to bomb Berlin from bases in Newfoundland, never completed in time for that, and then re-purposed as the only bomber big enough to carry the first H-bombs.

Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston star in Anthony Mann's western The Furies (1950), a slightly noirish nicely overheated psycho-sexual-emotional melodrama. Not a perfect film but fascinating and hugely enjoyable with Stanwyck and Huston in top form.

I just watched Raw Deal (Anthony Mann, 1948) and rated it 4/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_Deal_%281948_film%29?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #RawDeal #AnthonyMann #FilmNoir

#AnthonyMann #JohnAlton #filmnoir Film noir doesn't get much better than Anthony Mann’s Raw Deal (1948). A jailbreak goes wrong. Complex characters, noir fatalism and a real atmosphere of impending doom. Superb cinematography by John Alton.

My review: https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2023/05/raw-deal-1948.html

The Great Flamarion is an early (1945) Anthony Mann film noir. Erich von Stroheim, Dan Duryea and Mary Beth Hughes do a trick-shooting theatrical show but sexual jealousy and guns can be a nasty combination. Fine performances, good movie.

4 westerns you need to see

Law and Order (AKA Guns A'Blazin, 1932). The bleakest of all pre-1960s westerns.

Winchester '73 (1950). James Stewart discovers his dark side.

7 Men From Now (1956). Budd Boetticher's greatest film.

No Name on the Bullet (1959). Very modern for the 50s.
