How such a great movie is so little talked about? It surprised me in a very pleasant way, and I was more surprised to see it among the "1001 Movies you should see bfore you die" list book. And I agree that the cinematography is stunning.<br />Don't forget to read my contribution to the blogathon! :) <br />Cheers!<br />Le<br />http://www.criticaretro.blogspot.com.br/2015/07/a-caminho-do-rio-road-to-rio-1947.html<br />Lêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073025888325415158.post-34770348386376820212015-07-15T18:16:08.339-04:002015-07-15T18:16:08.339-04:00Great pick, and I'm glad to see this getting t...Great pick, and I'm glad to see this getting the love from multiple corners. I recently re-watched this and it isn't The Thin Man - but I think there's something much more poetic in the cityscape shots. Perhaps Reed knew the latter film would be a success, as (for me) there's something a little more natural in this.<br /><br />(Vicki, GirlsDoFilm - I can't comment with my wordpress account!)Spiritually Crampedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17831937017485458485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073025888325415158.post-24831016103899490422015-07-14T19:16:46.000-04:002015-07-14T19:16:46.000-04:00Thank you.

I love James Mason, he's in my top 10 favorite actors, and he is brilliant in this film. It's easy to see how this really pushed his career into international recognition. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073025888325415158.post-85115814893200178692015-07-13T15:37:28.234-04:002015-07-13T15:37:28.234-04:00Thank you, and you're welcome. :)Thank you, and you're welcome. :)MovieNut14https://www.blogger.com/profile/17250239873504510289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073025888325415158.post-1020357309142468752015-07-13T15:28:16.048-04:002015-07-13T15:28:16.048-04:00What a great pick!

(LOL.) This sounds awesome -- I don't know how I let this one slip past me, but you can bet I'll be tracking it down. You can't go wrong with James Mason, and coupled with atmospheric direction from Carol Reed? I'm so there. Thank you so much for this first-rate contribution to the blogathon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
