‘The Whole Town’s Talking’: A Killer Resemblance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
NR | 1h 33m | Comedy, Crime, Drama | 1935 Playing a villain in “Little Caesar” (1931), “Smart Money” (1931), and later “Key Largo” (1948), Edward G. Robinson looks like a guy who either knows where the bodies are buried or buried them himself. In “The Whole Town’s Talking” (1935), Robinson shows his range by playing two very different characters, as he changes his voice, posture, expressions, and timing to create different personalities. Director John Ford used that familiar face in two complete
‘The Proud Rebel:’ A Father, a Son, and a Sheepdog Start Over (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Although the American Civil War ended in 1865, plenty of folks carried the conflict along with them for years. The 1958 film, “The Proud Rebel,” takes place during that uneasy period. A former Confederate rides north and discovers that the word “Rebel” still tells strangers everything they thought they needed to know about him. In Aberdeen, Illinois, Dr. Enos Davis (Cecil Kellaway) believes the problem may be psychological and recommends that John take David to a doctor in Minnesota. John has li
‘Foreign Correspondent’: Reporting Into Danger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During WWII, foreign correspondents were crossing borders and sitting in press rooms. They listened carefully to what government officials said, along with what they didn’t say. Intelligence services were collecting information on Germany’s rapidly expanding military. That’s the world Alfred Hitchcock focuses on in “Foreign Correspondent” (1940), his espionage adventure starring Joel McCrea. McCrea plays John Jones, a New York crime reporter whose editor has become fed up with foreign correspond
‘Never So Few’: Guns, Guerrillas, and Sinatra (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Never So Few” (1959) was another rare Hollywood trip into the Burma campaign. The Office of Strategic Services, an American unit known as OSS Detachment 101, recruited thousands of native Kachin fighters from northern Burma, who were a tremendous help to the Allies. Kachin units were not only able to effectively scout Japanese positions, but they also wrecked supply lines and carried out deadly raids far from the usual front lines. The film was adapted from a novel by Tom T. Chamales, a World W
Epoch Watchlist: Recommended Viewing for Sept. 25–Oct. 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Although the story gets a tad predictable once James and Odin head into the wilderness, their relationship has an authenticity to it that kept me engaged. I also respected its more masculine storytelling style, without the usual exploitative tear-jerking landmines. The story gets a little crowded, but I laughed often enough that I didn’t care much. Rooster is a welcome addition, Snowball remains wonderfully ridiculous, and the film finds room for courage and friendship amid all of the animated a
