TCM’s Film Noir of the Week Saturday Night-Sunday Morning at 12:15 a.m. ET and 10 a.m. ET is Gerd Oswald’s The Natalie Wood Story, Better Known as A Kiss Before Dying (1956), Starring Robert Wagner, with Jeffrey Hunter, Virginia Leith, Joanne Woodward, Mary Astor and George Macready

TCM’s Film Noir of the Week Saturday Night-Sunday Morning at 12:15 a.m. ET and 10 a.m. ET is A Kiss Before Dying (1956), starring Robert Wagner with Jeffrey Hunter, Virginia Leith, Joanne Woodward, Mary Astor and George Macready. Gerd Oswald, who directed many TV shows, such as Perry Mason, directed.
Film Noir Guide: “A Korean War veteran (Wagner), now a college student, gets his girlfriend (Woodward) pregnant. Knowing that her wealthy daddy (Macready) would disown her if he found out, Wagner decides that the only way to marry into her rich family is to get rid of Woodward and romance her sister (Leith).
After making Woodard’s death look like a suicide, Wagner ingratiates himself with Macready and Leith but worries when Leith comes to the conclusion that Woodard was murdered. Hunter plays a homicide detective convinced that Leith is on the right track.
Astor plays Wagner’s mother. The tension-filled script, a horrifying rooftop scene and good performances, especially by Wagner (cast way against type as the handsome psychopath) makes this Technicolor noir a real nail-biter. Remade in 1991, with Matt Dillon and Sean Young.”
David: I wonder what Eddie Muller will do with this one. Will he wax lyrical over the director? Most likely he’ll talk up the 1981 drowning death of Wagner’s wife, Natalie Wood, with Wagner himself and Christopher Walken also present on the boat.
That being said, A Kiss Before Dying is a good thriller-type film.
N.S.: “Wagner (cast way against type as the handsome psychopath)…” or maybe not?

Breaking News Alert: One Day After Declaring that Exculpatory Evidence Precluded Arresting and Charging White Officer Derek Chauvin in Death of Black Criminal George Floyd, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman Caved in to Racist, Black Rioters, Looters, and Arsonists, and charged Chauvin with Third-Degree Murder and Manslaughter; Show Trial to Come

MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, one of four officers fired after George Floyd’s death, was arrested and charged with murder Friday.
Chauvin, the former officer seen in a bystander video Monday kneeling on Floyd’s neck, has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter, according to Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman. He had worked with the Minneapolis police for 19 years.
“We entrust our police officers to use certain amounts of force to do their job to protect us,” Freeman said. “They commit a criminal act if they use this force unreasonably.”
Conviction on a third-degree murder charge carries a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison.
Freeman called the speed in which the arrest was made was “extraordinary.”
“We have never charged a case in that kind of time frame, and we can only charge a case when we have sufficient admissible evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. As of right now, we have that,” Freeman said. “We have charged this case as quickly, as sufficient admissible evidence to charge it has been investigated and presented to us. “
[We know that this is a declaration of cowardice, since just yesterday he’d announced that he had found exculpatory evidence that supported Officer Chauvin, and which precluded prosecuting him. Freeman is announcing to the world that he is a white slave.]
Freeman said subsequent charges are possible, but he declined to elaborate on possible charges against the other three fired police officers.
