D: Mark Robson. Lana Turner, Hope Lange, Arthur Kennedy, Lloyd Nolan, Lee Philips, Terry Moore, Russ Tamblyn, Betty Field, David Nelson, Mildred Dunnock, Diane Varsi, Barry Coe, Leon Ames, Lorne Greene.

C- 99 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Douglas Sirk. Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, Robert Stack, Dorothy Malone, Robert Keith, Grant Williams. Florid melodrama of playboy-millionaire Stack, his nymphomaniac sister Malone, and how they destroy themselves and others around them. Irresistible kitsch. Malone won Oscar for her performance.

They Live by Night (1949)

After an unjust prison sentence, a young innocent gets mixed-up with hardened criminals and a violent escape.

Dir: Nicholas Ray Cast:  Cathy O'Donnell , Farley Granger , Howard Da Silva .
96 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Nicholas Ray. Farley Granger, Cathy O'Donnell, Howard da Silva, Jay C. Flippen, Helen Craig. Director Ray's first film is sensitive, well-made story of young lovers who are fugitives from the law. Set in 1930s, it avoids cliches and builds considerable impact instead. Based on Edward Anderson's Thieves Like Us, remade in 1974 under that name.

87 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Joseph H. Lewis. Peggy Cummins, John Dall, Berry Kroeger, Morris Carnovsky, Anabel Shaw, Harry Lewis, Nedrick Young, Rusty (Russ) Tamblyn. Knockout of a sleeper in the BONNIE AND CLYDE tradition, stylishly (and sometimes startlingly) directed. Cummins is femme fatale who leads gun-crazy Dall into life of crime. Screenplay credited to MacKinlay Kantor and Millard Kaufman (who was "fronting'' for then-blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo), from Kantor's Saturday Evening Post story. Aka DEADLY IS THE FEMALE. Loosely remade in 1992.

Carnival Story (1954)

A trapeze act is torn apart by jealousy when the partners take in a starving girl.

Dir: Kurt Neumann Cast:  Anne Baxter , Steve Cochran , Lyle Bettger .
C- 94 min, TV-PG
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Kurt Neumann. Anne Baxter, Steve Cochran, Lyle Bettger, George Nader, Jay C. Flippen. Hardened Baxter is involved with sleazy Cochran. ``Nice guy'' high diver Bettger takes her on as a protegee, and there are complications. When this romantic melodrama is not trashy, it's sluggish. Set in Germany, and not unlike E. A. Dupont's classic, VARIETY. A German version was also filmed, with Eva Bartok, Bernhard Wicki, and Curt Jurgens.

D: Ray Enright. Humphrey Bogart, Sylvia Sidney, Eddie Albert, Joan Leslie, Sig Ruman, Cliff Clark, Charley Foy, Frank Wilcox. KID GALAHAD in circus trappings is OK, thanks to cast: Bogie's the circus manager, Sidney his star, Albert the hayseed turned lion tamer.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Frank Capra. Barbara Stanwyck, Ralph Graves, Lowell Sherman, Marie Prevost, Nance O'Neill, George Fawcett. Stanwyck falls in love with playboy-artist Graves, but cannot shake her reputation as golddigger. Creaky story made worthwhile by Stanwyck's believable performance and Capra's fluent filmmaking technique. Remade as WOMEN OF GLAMOR.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: George Marshall. Wallace Beery, Barbara Stanwyck, John Boles, Alan Hale, Mona Barrie, Herbert Mundin. Historical fiction about agent Boles trying to reach General Garcia during Spanish-American war, with dubious help of roguish Beery and well-bred Stanwyck. Very entertaining.

D: Frank Capra. Barbara Stanwyck, David Manners, Sam Hardy, Beryl Mercer, Russell Hopton. Stanwyck plays an evangelist (patterned after Aimee Semple McPherson) whose splashy sermons become big business. Manners is a blind man who falls in love with her. Story contrivances overcome by fine performances, direction, and camerawork (by Joseph Walker).
