Today is an historic day for me because I've managed to catch up with the last remaining film from my favorite director, GRAN CASINO (1947) - via Lionsgate 2-Disc Bunuel Collection - a positively life-altering odyssey which took me 15 years to complete!!

While it is certainly a case of "saving the worst for last", the film in itself is by no means terrible and, while perhaps the least Bunuelian of his films (being a semi-musical and all), there are a couple of interesting visual ideas in there...and even some Hitchcockian borrowings!!

Anyway, since this is going to be my last "official" post in this thread, I might as well give you my full poll one final time:
