TCM is showing...I apologize for the belated notice. TCM is showing For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) at 8 pm ET tonight, February 17. <br /><br />If The Breaking Point with John Garfield (1950) is the best movie made on a Hemingway story from an artistic sense, For Whom the Bell Tolls was the "Biggest." It had Gary Coper and Ingrid Bergman in the starring roles. Akim Tamiroff and Katina Paxinou practically stepped out of the pages of the book as the leaders of the Spanish guerrilla band. <br /><br />Sam Wood's direction dragged often and Hemingway's theme of disillusionment became a sort of war adventure story typical of the time. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm going to DVR it and watch a day or two later.

This version of James M. Cain's novel is perhaps most notable for pairing John Garfield and Lana Turner.<br /><br />Garfield plays a drifter who happens upon a diner just outside of Los Angeles. The proprietor (Cecil Kellaway) offers him a job. Garfield's "itchy feet" make him inclined to turn the job down until he sees the owner's (much younger) sexy blond wife, whereupon he hires on. <br /><br />The doomed lovers soon hatch a plan to dispose of the oblivious Kellaway and run off together. This is the prototype Noir plot line. The protagonist spots the sexiest woman he's ever seen and self-destructs. Hume Cronyn has a supporting role as a conniving defense lawyer who gets them off. At first.<br /><br />Turner is always dressed in white. <br /><br />Our host, Eddie Muller, says The Postman Always Rings twice was John Garfield's biggest box office hit. Along with Body and Soul, one of his most famous.

Black navy sailor, 27 yr. old Marquie Little, turned out to have been the one to have written racial slurs on his bed. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/12/09/navy-sailor-staged-racist-vandalism-investigation-finds.html<br />I'm unable to find a photo of Marque Little, a search of google images, usually the best bet to find a picture of someone, turned up nothing. <br />The only major news outlet covering this story appears to be Foxnews. As usual, the powers that be make grand sweeping pronouncements about "racism", then are silent after it is determined to be fake. This is reminiscent of the recent Colorado Air Force Academy hoax, where a black football player (who was never named publicly), also wrote racial slurs: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/11/08/air-force-academy-discovers-racial-slurs-were-hoax-months-after-superintendent-lauded-for-tough-speech.html<br />Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria delivered a speech about the incident that received a million of hits on Youtube and his sanctimonious virtue signaling received sickening praise from many major media outlets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfjZ1otkS3o<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
