47t. I Walk Alone (Yancy #18)

I knew I'd walk alone on this one. I've seen it maybe four times and always enjoyed it. It has a respectable enough imdb rating (7.1), but I get the impression it's generally considered mediocre, when it's considered at all. I'm a bit of a sucker for nightclub-set noirs, and it's got a good part for Wendell Corey, which helps. It was the first teaming of Lancaster and Douglas, and a return to directing for special effects expert Byron Haskin, who had more success in science fiction, with War of the Worlds, Robinson Crusoe on Mars and several episodes of The Outer Limits (including Demon with a Glass Hand, which I watched on Hulu a few weeks ago).

Yeah, kinda wishing I'd bumped it up a few notches too.

James Agee's capsule still resonates:

Quote:
 
Good performances by Wendell Corey and Kirk Douglas; a sharp scene about an old-fashioned gangster's helplessness against modern business methods. Some better than ordinary night-club atmosphere. Otherwise the picture deserves, like four out of five other movies, to walk alone, tinkle a little bell, and cry "Unclean, unclean."

Wait, what?

I thought: Mr. Blandings is to Jiggy, what Capt. Ron is to Redfoot.

Oh yeah, I remember that quote. Always thought it was funny.

I Remember Mama (George Stevens)


Another one I've seen but have some major memory gaps. I actually watched some of it not too long ago and realized that I needed a complete rewatch.
