A Robert Aldrich movie that keeps moving. livius1.com/2025/03/27/a...

Westerns from the 1960s can be a mixed bag at best. This one remains very entertaining though. livius1.com/2025/03/10/t...

I don't believe I have ever witnessed anything more disgraceful than the sight of the US president behaving like an entitled jerk, berating a man whose country has had to endure three years of unprovoked aggression from the world's premier dictator. Absolutely shameful stuff.

Watching now... Matt Monro was an absolute prince. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgJu...

Been watching A Lion Is in the Streets (1953). Raoul Walsh directs James Cagney, charting the rise of a lying populist charlatan. Prescient.
