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

Currently available at Watch TCM (until February 17th):
The Hunted (1948) has been previously reviewed here. I mentioned writer Steve Fisher as a contributor to another TCM recommendation Roadblock (1951). The Hunted was filmed from an original screenplay by Fisher, thus its noir qualities are amply evident. Plus, Roadblock’s star tough guy makes a cameo appearance. Be on the hunt for this engrossing film noir at Watch TCM.
More information on this screening can be obtained by clicking on the image above. Watch TCM’s schedule can be seen by clicking on the banner below.
All responses are not only welcomed but encouraged in the comments section below.
Hope to see you tomorrow.
