Dish of the Day

Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:

Thursday, February 9, 2023

Today on TCM:

When affairs of the heart are so well integrated with thoughts of murder as they are in the Humphrey Bogart starrer Conflict, we have the makings of an exceptional film noir. This is because the emotional cause behind the actions infuses motive into these types of stories and thus absorbs the viewer on a deeper level. Conflict, previously reviewed here, and a former visitor to Eddie Muller's Noir Alley, will present itself Thursday, February 9 at 8:30 am PST.

Humphrey Bogart
