Interesting cast, weird cover

I think it's one of those movies some would label "weird". The person next to me in the cinema would scoff or make these displeased noises from time to time. To each their own...

Telstar: The Joe Meek Story

"The film tells the story of record producer Joe Meek, the songwriter-producer
behind the 1960s hits "Have I the Right?", "Just Like Eddie" and "Johnny Remember Me".
The film charts Meek's initial success with the multi-million-selling record "Telstar";
his homosexuality, which was illegal in the UK at the time; and his struggles with debt,
paranoia and depression, which culminated in the killing of his landlady Violet
Shenton and himself, on 3 February 1967."

Great Guy 1936 (link to film at archive.org) stars James Cagney. American crime film noir directed by John G. Blystone. In the film, an honest inspector for the New York Department of Weights and Measures takes on corrupt merchants and politicians.

Another strong performance from Gary Oldman. Unfortunately, whenever he wasn't on screen, the film dragged.

Beware, My Lovely (1952)

A psychopath on the run takes a job as a handyman at the house of a lonely war widow. (IMDB)

Taylor Holmes, Corky, Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan​

Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan​

Was rather interested in what that tool is. As near as I can figure, it was a weighted floor brush as used to polish floors before the days of the electric buffer.

"A piece of dry cloth, felt or carpet placed under the brush will give the finishing gloss..." for why it is wrapped up in some type of material.



Maybe someone has a better idea.

Le Samouraï (1967)

A masterpiece of neo-noir. As much as this is a police procedural it subverts expectations and stereotypes and keeps your attention and suspense the whole time. A cat and mouse caper where you are not sure who is who or why people do what they do. Very little dialogue but where the characters speak it is in hard-boiled poetic form and quite funny at times. Loved it!
