Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome - 1947
This Dick Tracy movie has Boris Karloff as Gruesome where he uses a toxic gas to paralyze people and rob banks. This isn’t to be confused with the series of shorts. Look for the weird part around 10 minutes in where they kind of break the 4th wall and reference Boris Karloff.
Great Guy - 1936
James Cagney stars in this great movie with an utterly useless title about the department of Weights & Measures always looking out for the regular Joe Shmoes. More specifically they are after the crooked alderman Marty who is in the midst of an insidious plot to cheat consumers out of their product by shorting them […]
The Phantom Fiend - 1932
This is the first talky remake of a book and later Alfred Hitchcock movie called “The Lodger”, inspired by Jack the Ripper. It seems people prefer Hitchcock’s silent version, this remake was made while talking in movies was still in a refining phase, and the characters change a bit in odd ways because of that.
Five Minutes to Live - 1961
This is a strange little Crime movie starring Johnny Cash as a bad guy who is hired to hold a woman by force if necessary in her house as hostage for ransom. Johnny Cash acts extra disrespectful and distasteful, a good movie throughout.
Trapped - 1949
Here is a nice little crime drama and semi-documentary about the U.S. Treasury going after counterfeiters, it has Lloyd bridges in it.
Detour - 1945
Detour is a classic Noir film known for both it’s low budget and production qualities and also it’s surrealistic and atmospheric story elements. The story is wrought with logical problems, but somehow breaks apart under scrutiny the right way, making a believable, if self deluded whiner of a main character who has convinced himself he’s […]
