Is this where the “I’m just a simple country lawyer” gag came from?

3 things about Otto Preminger’s BONJOUR TRISTESSE [1958]

1. Deborah Kerr’s cashmere (?) car dress in ivory.
2. The patio at twilight. On the right, the group tanks up prior to their trip to the casino; on the left, the housemaid swigs a beer while standing behind the bar.
3. Subterranean powder room with an asymmetrical mirror.

"Laura" is a 1945 popular song. The music, composed by #DavidRaksin for the 1944 movie #Laura, which starred #GeneTierney and #DanaAndrews, is heard frequently in the movie. The film's director, #OttoPreminger, had originally wanted to use #DukeEllington's "#SophisticatedLady" as the theme, but Raksin was not convinced that it was suitable. Angered, Preminger gave Raksin one weekend to compose an alternative melody. Raksin later said.

I've always meant to see Preminger's "Bonjour Tristesse" since hearing Tuxedomoon's song of the same name. What an odd movie! Niven and Seberg are great as a spoiled vapid nouveau riche family. And, it includes a paraphrase of Baudelaires' "Be Always Drunken" prose poem in the script, recited by an appropriately drunk character. Nice use of color and black and white for contrast and dramatic effect, (the B&W sections are particularly beautiful).

I just watched Where the Sidewalk Ends (Otto Preminger, 1950) and rated it 7/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_the_Sidewalk_Ends_%28film%29?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #WhereTheSidewalkEnds #OttoPreminger #DanaAndrews #GeneTierney

3 things about Otto Preminger’s BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING [1965]

1. A soft spot for junket.
2. Hospital basement with machinery: shades of "The Elephant Man."
3. A collection of whips.

Otto Preminger’s Bunny Lake Is Missing (1965) starts as a straightforward police procedural about a missing child. The first subtle signs of oddness soon appear. It keeps getting stranger until finally it becomes quite bizarre.

I love that everyone who's a suspect, is allowed to tag along with McPherson while he investigates the murder.

Thanks to Derya Ataker for piecing together that Bob Dylan’s 2020 painting Pop’s Beer Shack is based on a shot from the 1945 Otto Preminger film noir Fallen Angel.
