I hope we will be seeing some movies this year that haven't been on Turner recently or even ever (Frank Tashlin's Marry Me Again, for instance). I will continue mentioning films I haven't mentioned recently but feel free to e-mail me if you have a question about any film.
Jan. 1 has Budd Boetticher's The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond (1960) and on the 2nd is Samuel Fuller's first film, I Shot Jesse James (1949).
On the third is Anthony Mann's period film noir, The Black Book (1949), with cinematography by the great John Alton.
On the 6th is Howard Hawks's Air Force (1943), one of the best films about military flying and a plane's crew, and on the 8th is Hawks's marvelous gangster film Scarface (1932).
On the tenth is Raoul Walsh's wonderful period romance/comedy The Strawberry Blond (1941) as well as three of Douglas Sirk's ironic soap operas: Magnificent Obsession (1954), All That Heaven Allows (1955), Written on the Wind (1957).
On the 11th is Joseph Losey's The Big Night (1951), which I wrote about on Dec. 4, and on the 19th is Michael Curtiz's intense The Breaking Point (1950)
On the 25th are two corrosive and cynical views about America by the soon-to-be blacklisted Cy Enfield: Try and Get Me and Underworld Story (both from 1950).
