Just about every book I have on noir lists it as such which is true for many similar movies made from that film era. The Arrow UK Blu-ray looks very good and is a big improvement over the Criterion DVD. When I watched my Blu-ray back in late 2017, I didn't explore any of the bonus material so I might do that when it plays on Noir Alley. I have two audio commentaries to choose from, one on the old Criterion DVD with Alain Silver and the Arrow Blu-ray with somebody else in selected scene commentary.
I think of it more as a drama too with some noir elements in it. I'm looking forward to hearing Eddie's comments on this film.
Taylor playing a cocky American at Oxford was perfect casting. I think this movie was filmed in England which was a first for an MGM film.
Astonishingly, it includes Raintree County in the list. Can that be correct? Also Red Dust. I'm sure Warners will be interested to hear that!
Robert's link takes you to a list of all Park Circus content. You have to filter the list to 4K DCP content (a dropdown from the format button). Neither of those titles are even DCPs, let alone 4K.
Mark's correct you have to filter the list to 4K DCP. Even though I direct linked that 4K DCP listing, it wouldn't show that segregated link here.
Thank you. I'll try again.
One of the most wonderful things about movies and tv is the link to others we shared them with.With Father's day coming up this Sunday, I woke up this morning thinking about my father. He passed away 15 years ago, but I think of him quite often. It was my father that helped instilled in me, my love for movies. Particularly, those classic movies he grew up on and loved as a younger person. One of his favorite films was "Bataan" (1943) starring Robert Taylor, Lloyd Nolan, Robert Walker, Thomas Mitchell, George Murphy, Lee Bowman, Barry Nelson and a young Desi Arnaz. IMO, it's one of the best "WW II" movies made during the war and with some realistic and brutal battle sequences. It was the first movie to show an African-American fighting bravely as a soldier which is probably one of the reasons why my old man liked this film so much as this movie was released during his early teen years as he was too young for WW II. I've read Kenneth Lee Spencer's casting in the film, caused some uproar down in the South as the studio didn't feature him in many poster ads for the film. This movie has become a favorite film of mine too. Over the years, the lasting images of this fine film always stayed with me as a small group of soldiers valiantly fought to prevent the enemy from crossing a bridge as the American and Filipino soldiers retreated. Below is some pictures of the actors including Lucille Ball visiting Desi on the movie set.
Right, I can remember many movies by recalling times I watched them with certain people like my family.
