Lots of less-remembered flicks are on the lineup for this week. If you’re looking for a common thread, I’d say each one was ahead of its time…it’s a weak thread, but c’mon man, I’m doing this for free!
My penchant for picking pictures with Orson Welles and Gary Cooper continues unabated. Clearly I have a type.
Perhaps my favorite decade for film was the 1950s. It bridged the Old Hollywood class of the 1930s and 1940s, with the more honest, outspoken, and organic New Hollywood of the 1960s and 1970s. These three films give a strong representation of the cinematic diversity the 1950s displayed.
Gregory Peck. Orson Welles. Gary Cooper. If you’re a Millennial who needs a primer in how to be a man, this week’s lineup is a great start.
