It’s a great day for Ray Harryhausen fans, with a choice selection of his finest flicks. However given I’m duty-bound to choose just one, I gotta’ go with The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. The reasons are many, but most of all because it features a battle to the death between a dragon and a cyclops! 

I love The Thin Man. The book by Dashiell Hammett is a gritty, gumshoe, potboiler, but thankfully the filmmakers realized the true appeal of the story was the witty banter between leads William Powell and Myrna Loy. In a nutshell, this is an urbane screwball comedy about a brilliant detective, his rich heiress wife, and their adventures solving murders while getting increasingly intoxicated. 

So The Outrage is an early 1960s remake of Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece Rashomon, starring Paul Newman as a Mexican. About what you’d expect, which is to say it’s simultaneously a mediocre movie, yet essential viewing.
