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

Directed by: Robert Aldrich
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047880/

Cast

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.

Masculin féminin: 15 faits précis (1966) - Jean-Pierre Léaud in Jean-Luc Godard flick

Rating 7.7/10
Runtime: 104 min
Language: French
Country: France
Directed by: Jean-Luc Godard
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060675/

Cast

Jean-Pierre Léaud ... Paul
Chantal Goya ... Madeleine
Marlène Jobert ... Elisabeth
Michel Debord ... Robert
Catherine-Isabelle Duport ... Catherine-Isabelle
Eva-Britt Strandberg ... Elle (la femme dans le film)
Birger Malmsten ... Lui (l'homme dans le film)
Brigitte Bardot ... Herself (uncredited)

Description: This low-budget, black and white film stars French New Wave icon Jean-Pierre Léaud as Paul, a romantic young idealist and literary lion-wannabe who chases budding pop star, Madeleine (Chantal Goya, a real life Yé-yé girl). Despite markedly different musical tastes and political leanings, the two soon become romantically involved and begin a ménage à quatre with Madeleine’s two roommates, Catherine (Catherine-Isabelle Duport) and Elisabeth (Marlène Jobert). Ostensibly basing his film on two stories by Guy de Maupassant, Godard mixes off-the-cuff reportage and mise en scène to create a strikingly honest portrait of youth and sex, with Godard’s camera probing his young actors in a series of vérité-style interviews about love, love-making, and politics.

Description: Major Bennett Marco is an intelligence officer in the U.S. Army. He served valiantly as a Captain in the Korean war and his Sergeant, Raymond Shaw even received the Medal of Honor. Marco has a major problem however: he has a recurring nightmare, one where two members of his squad were killed by Shaw. He's put on indefinite sick leave and visits Shaw in New York City. Shaw, for his part, has established himself well, despite the misgivings of his domineering mother, Mrs. Eleanor Shaw Iselin. She is a red-baiter, accusing anyone who disagrees with her right-wing reactionary views of being a Communist. Raymond hates her, not only for how she's treated him, but equally because of his stepfather, the ineffectual U.S. Senator John Iselin, who is intent on seeking higher office. When Marco learns that others in his Korean War unit have had nightmares similar to his own, he realizes that something happened to all of them in Korea, and that Raymond Shaw is the focal point.
