Robert Ryan gets to give a performance that shows his psychotic side & also his tender humanity, with great support from Ida Lupino plus Ward Bond playing a king-size jackass. Bernard Herrmann brings his A game in a score that nods towards Hitchcock. On Dangerous Ground #thefilmcrowd Monday from 8pm

When Justin suggested a Robert Ryan series one film jumped to the top of my list: ON DANGEROUS GROUND in which he plays a proto Dirty Harry who goes on a redemptive journey with Ida Lupino, and a cracking Bernard Herrmann score. Join #thefilmcrowd from 8pm this Monday! archive.org/details/on-d...

Man, I can't wait to see how this resolves happily for everyone. #TheFilmCrowd

Mary Astor, finally out of prison after the Maltese Falcon. #TheFilmCrowd

"I only ratted out my men to the Nazis and watched as they were bayoneted." "You meant well." #TheFilmCrowd

Speaking of Nazis who look like frogs. #TheFilmCorwd

Los AnGeles? #TheFilmCrowd

Was that the baby crying? or the call of Cthulu? #TheFilmCrowd

Sorry, but Van Heflin looks like Kermit the Frog. #TheFilmCrowd

Rian Johnson talking murder mysteries. Delighted to hear that the new Benoit Blanc film was heavily influenced by the works of John Dickson Carr and has a more Gothic tone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4ar...

What's your unpopular Star Trek opinion? Dr Pulaski is a more interesting character that Dr Crusher.

“Nedry’s locked us out of the park’s systems. There’s no way to get the fences back online!” *cocks shotgun* “I’ll go and throw the switch manually.” “Hang on. I’m in. The password was ‘dinosaur’.”
