TCM's Film Noir of the Week returns Sunday, January 7 at 10 am ET. This week's feature is Red Light (1949). It stars George Raft and Virginia Mayo with Raymond Burr in another Noir "heavy" role.
Raft is a trucking business owner whose brother, a priest, is killed on the order of Burr, whom Raft had caused to be sent to prison.
I read in a film noir book that George Raft "couldn't act." Presumably, this is because Raft tended to give the same characterization in every film.
I am a dissident journalist, whose work has been published in dozens of daily newspapers, magazines, and journals in English, German, and Swedish, under my own name and many pseudonyms. While living in internal exile in New York, where I am whitelisted, I maintain NSU/The Wyatt Earp Journalism Bureau and some eight other blogs (some are distinctive but occasional venues, while others are mirrors), and also write for stout-hearted men such as Peter Brimelow and Jared Taylor.
