The big knife (1955) - classic film noir directed by Robert Aldrich, starring Jack Palance, Ida Lupino, Wendell Corey, Jean Hagen, Rod Steiger and Shelley Winters

Rating 6.8/10
Runtime: 114 min
Language: English
Country: USA
Directed by: Robert Aldrich
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047880/

Cast

Jack Palance ... Charles Castle
Ida Lupino ... Marion Castle
Wendell Corey ... Smiley Coy
Jean Hagen ... Connie Bliss
Rod Steiger ... Stanley Shriner Hoff
Shelley Winters ... Dixie Evans
Ilka Chase ... Patty Benedict
Everett Sloane ... Nat Danziger
Wesley Addy ... Horatio Hank Teagle

Description: Hollywood movie star Charlie Castle, under contract at Hoff-Federated Studios, is being pressured by studio chief, Stanley Hoff, and Hoff's right-hand man, Smiley Coy, to sign a seven year renewal deal, something that Charlie is reluctant to do. Life at Hoff-Federated has already taken its toll on his marriage, his wife Marion having moved out of their Bel Air mansion with their son Billy, as there is as much focus if not more on the extracurricular activities as there is on the movie making, Charlie having previously cheated on Marion, including with his faithful agent Buddy Bliss' sexually aggressive wife, Connie Bliss. In addition, both Charlie and Marion have been unhappy that the movies at the studio have and are not with the substance that either envisioned. To save the marriage as Marion has threatened leaving him for good if he signs, their mutual friend, writer Hank Teagle, who has already proposed to her, Charlie is willing to walk away from Hollywood altogether rather than sign with another studio to give Hoff the satisfaction that no one else in the business would benefit. The issue in the background is that Hoff and Smiley are well aware of the truth of Charlie being behind a vehicular death for which Buddy took the fall, Buddy having served ten months in prison for it, this information always present whether of not it is spoken or if Hoff would use it to pressure Charlie into signing. Beyond Hoff and Smiley, one other person is aware of what really happened, she starlet Dixie Evans, also under contract at Hoff-Federated. Dixie, who Hoff uses more as window dressing at studio parties than in any substantive movie roles, may inadvertently divulge this information in her anger and unhappiness with life at Hoff-Federated.

Rear window (1954) - classic thriller from director Alfred Hitchcock, starring James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Raymond Burr and Wendell Corey

>Rating: 8.7/10
Runtime: 112 min
Language: English
Country: USA
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047396/

Cast

James Stewart ... L.B. Jefferies
Grace Kelly ... Lisa Carol Fremont
Raymond Burr ... Lars Thorwald
Wendell Corey ... Det. Thomas. J. Doyle
Judith Evelyn ... Miss Lonelyheart

Description: In 1950-something New York, an adventuresome free-lance photographer finds himself confined to a wheelchair in his tiny apartment while a broken leg mends. With only the occasional distraction of a visiting nurse and his frustrated love interest, a beautiful fashion consultant, his attention is naturally drawn to the courtyard outside his "rear window" and the occupants of the apartment buildings which surround it. Soon he is consumed by the private dramas of his neighbors lives which play themselves out before his eyes. There is "Miss Lonelyhearts" so desperate for her imaginary lover that she sits him a plate at the dinner table and feigns their ensuing chat. There is the frustrated composer banging on his piano, the sunbathing sculptress, the shapely dancer, the newlyweds who are concealed from their neighbors by a window shade, and a bungling middle-aged couple with a little yapping dog who sleep on the fire escape to avoid the sweltering heat of their apartment... And then there is the mysterious salesman whose nagging, invalid wife's sudden absence from the scene ominously coincides with middle-of-the-night forays into the dark, sleeping city with his sample case. Where did she go? What's in the trunk that the salesman ships away? What's he been doing with the knives and the saw that he cleans at the kitchen sink?
