Street Worm

Dangerously They Live (1941)

Dr. Michael Lewis (John Garfield) treats Jane, a mysterious woman claiming to be a
British secret agent on the run from German spies on Long Island


Not the best, but not bad for a watch-
Still cool to find another one to add to my (Nazi) '5th Column' flicks list.


Moonshadow

"Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" 1939

Classic Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce fare. George Zucco is properly sinister as Holmes' arch-enemy, Prof. Moriarty, but the story left a little something to be desired. Still great fun and all in 80 minutes. Rathbone is just such an intense Holmes -my favorite certainly.

Sorta looks like a five-pointed star with a circle around it...

"For one who has lived but a single lifetime, you are a wise man ...Van Helsing."
"I shall awaken memories of love and crime and death..."

Welles is always interesting, just not always entertaining. I think there are two or three versions of Mr. Arkadin available, none "definitive."

"Across 110th Street" (1972)  (Anthony Quinn,Yaphet Kotto,Anthony Franciosa)

"A trio of Harlem homeboys disguised as police knocks off a Mafia numbers house, pocketing $300,000 and gunning down a few cops in the process. It's up to a shifty white detective (Anthony Quinn) and his reluctant black partner (Yaphet Kotto) to nab the amateur crooks before sadistic mob enforcer Nick D'Salvio  gets his hands on them. This unrelentingly violent action-thriller has become a cult favorite."

Pretty good movie and a VERY interesting time capsule. Many pimpadelic 70s fashions, lots of shooting, Harlem crime syndicate, Mafiosos, dirty racist cops, ghettos, liberal new breed cops, gritty New York 1970s urban decay,and Huggy Bear from "Starsky And Hutch" being castrated (thankfully, unlike today's movies, off-screen).

6.5 bananas.
