Incidentally, I saw another American-"Welsh" movie tonight of an entirely different color. It will probably be my inaugural review for the Fixing a Hole series Sunday.Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-721514536563245032011-10-06T18:03:49.395-04:002011-10-06T18:03:49.395-04:00"Yet what a difference - yesterday mostly esc..."Yet what a difference - yesterday mostly escapist entertainments, today far more troubled pictures."<br /><br />Indeed, and while watching this diverse blend of masterpieces one could feel and sense the impending horror. Yes, only the U.K.'s "Colonel Blimp" stood aprat from Hollywood, and it's one of the greatest films from any period. Of course the three face-to-face looks at Hitler are THE MORTAL STORM, THE GREAT DICTATOR and DER FUHRER'S FACE. I was thrilled to see you included HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY, a beautiful film maligned by it's "blasphemous" win over CITIZEN KANE for the Best Picture Oscar. (KANE of course deserved to be here too as it is) Love too the inclusion of the Lubitsch masterpiece THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER, and of the superlative THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER. HIS GIRL FRIDAY and THE MALTESE FALCON are givens.<br /><br />Lovely quality here. I see you have overcome any technical glitches, and great sound.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
