THE PRIVATE AFFAIRS OF BEL AMI (1947): Acerbic but slow-moving and overly sanitized adaptation of an 1885 Guy de Maupassant novel about the rise and fall of perennial cad Georges Duroy (George Sanders), who becomes a prominent gossip columnist with the help of an old friend (John Carradine) and then marries the friend's widow (Ann Dvorak) — who's more or less writing his column — while spurning the love of another widow (Angela Lansbury) in his pursuit of power and position. There are about a half-dozen excellent scenes and some good supporting performances, but it goes on way too long and suffers badly from period censorship, culminating in a contrived tragic ending (not present in the book) where Georges sacrificially repents his wickedness. Paradoxically, making Georges less wicked than in the book also makes him more unpleasant to watch; only occasionally given the opportunity to be entertainingly ruthless, Sanders still makes Georges such a frosty, misanthropic (and misogynistic) asshole that it's hard to credit that he has any friends or lovers to betray. VERDICT: Has its moments, but Sanders is not very pleasant company, even for a movie that frankly describes itself as "The History of a Scoundrel."

lineups for the sr1 leaders. i’ll do lieutenants/associates/etc separately; for now i just wanted to focus on the people that actually ran things (or at least ran them for a minute).
