    Top Hat 1935

    Rewatched 06 Dec 2024

    "Couldn't we forget all about the ties?" "Sic transit gloria mundi, sir." A fluffy little cloud of a movie. As a comedy of romantic misunderstandings and entanglements, pretty swell—graceful, literate, fun. It's marvelous how its queer/kink/poly innuendos, which make Sturges look tame, got past Joseph Breen's watchful eye: Edward Everett Horton play-fights with his valet-cum-husband Eric Blore as his liberal-minded wife Helen Broderick congratulates him, all while Erik Rhodes's trans couturier wants to enter the bridal suite through a dress.…

    The Killer That Stalked New York 1950

    Watched 30 Nov 2024

    A noir, partially shot on location in New York, about a criminal unwittingly spreading smallpox. Although often thought of as Columbia's knockoff of Fox's Panic in the Streets, it seems to have been conceived independently. Either way, it's mediocre melodrama, highlighted by a sisters-fighting-over-a-husband subplot and Dorothy Malone as a smirking nurse, awkwardly affixed to a commendable Public Service Announcement about the need for urban populations to get vaccinated.

    A woman's skirt shoots up when she walks under the gushing air of a sidewalk grate, fifty-four years before Marilyn's iconic performance in The Seven Year Itch. Only today have I learned the historical significance of this film's title. Why does it happen on Twenty-Third Street? The answer can be found by pairing this film with the 1903 actuality At the Foot of the Flatiron, in which pedestrians clutch their hats and skirts on a windy day on the corner…

    I Love Melvin 1953

    Rewatched 21 May 2019

    One of the 50 best films in the history of cinema. Starstruck gal Debbie Reynolds wants to be on the cover of Look magazine — paging Dr. Laura Mulvey? — and apprentice photographer Donald O'Connor promises he'll help. Perfectly trifling, then, but what's remarkable here isn't the what but the how. Its wide-eyed stars direct off Singin' in the Rain (which O'Connor knowingly references with a lamppost leap), the dance numbers here rank among the most creative ever made for…
