Charlie's Angels (2019)

[gregorygalloway]

White Heat was released on 2 September 1949.

50-year-old James Cagney had vowed to never do another gangster film, and vowed never to return to Warner Bros (Cagney had successfully sued the studio for breach of contract in 1935), but admitted he “needed the money.”

Cagney had script approval and settled on a story by Virginia Kellogg (Kellogg received the film’s only Academy Award nomination), with Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts writing the screenplay (with input from Cagney’s friends Humphrey Bogart and Frank McHugh).

Cagney was unhappy that Raoul Walsh had been hired to direct, even though they had worked together twice before (1939′s The Roaring Twenties, and 1941′s The Strawberry Blonde).

White Heat was a commercial and critical success, and was listed as one of Time magazine’s “Best Movies of All Time” (since 1923).

Ben Roberts

Midnight Lace (1960). In London, a newly-wed American woman's sanity comes into question when she claims to be the victim of a stalker.

This isn’t a bad movie exactly - in fact, it’s a pretty fun little mystery thriller, but it leans heavily on tropes and cliches, and the twist of the end is, as a result, pretty obvious from the outset. Doris Day is, as always, a commanding screen presence, and there’s some terrific art department throughout, but otherwise it’s a fairly basic thriller. 6/10.
