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

Today on TCM:

One of the finest westerns ever made is Top Ten Western #4. Sam Peckinpah's elegiac Ride the High Country (1962) will ride into TCM territory Monday, September 16 at 12:30 pm PDT.

Despite its ridiculously hard to follow plot, this next recommendation's wildly entertaining detective yarn is worth waking up for.

Previously reviewed hereThe Big Sleep (1946) will awaken Monday, September 16 at 7 pm PDT. 

Dark Passage (1947) is a wildly engrossing film noir that combines the best of romance with the best of noir in the best location for both: San Francisco. Previously endorsed as a Blu-Ray release here, Bogart will make his dark (rite of) passage Monday, September 16 at 9 pm PDT.

That’s Humphrey Bogart as Vincent Parry standing at the crossroads of Greenwich Street (behind him leading to Coit Tower) and Hyde where he will soon board the Hyde cable car. This will take him to its final stop: the turntable turnaround at Powell Street and Market (seen below).
