The Panther's Claw (1942)

My rating: 4/10

It's fine I guess, though none of that shit the cops are doing can possibly be legal, even in the 40s. Also I think one of them affectionately calls the one black character in this a slur at one point.

Behold This Dreamer. Fulton Oursler. London: T. Fisher Unwin Ltd, (1924). First English edition. Original dust jacket by E. Lucchesi.

"I was born poor and I earned a good living; I was unschooled and I found knowledge; I was an agnostic and found the way to God." He tells that story in a rich autobiography which also profiles Baltimore and New York society from the nineteen-teens to the 1950s.

The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965). An all-star, large scale epic film that chronicles the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.

There are some pretty terrific visuals in this otherwise incredibly subpar bio pic of Jesus Christ. It almost feels like it should be something straight to DVD, or on a religious network, not nominated for an Oscar. The story drags, the performances are mediocre (to be kind), and the pacing leaves a lot to be desired. It’s a paint-by-numbers interpretation, and it’s only saving grace is the wonderful cinematography. 4/10.

We crucify ourselves between two thieves: regret for yesterday and fear of tomorrow.

Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves — regret for the past and fear of the future.
