great movie and the director, Robert Florey, never broke out as a famous director, but made quite a few really good movies.

great movie and the director, Robert Florey, never broke out as a famous director, but made quite a few really good movies.

Florey made so many classics, in every genre...Cocoanuts would be my favorite and Murders in Rue Morgue #2 , but almost all his films were fun to watch...Here's a few:

A daylight-noir classic, "Body Heat". William Hurt is a great sleazy lawyer. Kathleen Turner's character shows that safe sex is an oxymoron. The final scene is chilling.

Watched Rudolph Maté's Union Station last night, a police thriller where the criminals are known and chased from the start. Nice staging of shots in a manner similar to D.O.A., with Barry Fitzgerald basically playing the same role he played in Naked City.

Not so much the movies, but MeTV has been airing "Peter Gunn." I can't believe how this show has captured my attention. Within one minute someone is either getting shot or clunked on the head, and Mancini's score is drawing me in.

that is worth it just for The Naked Kiss--an incredible movie. The opening scene is one of the most mind blowing ever and it gets stranger after that!

that's fun having the foreign titles. there were two I couldn't guess from the foreign title of the film (partly because I'm sure our names made no sense translated) the others I've seen and knew

The naked kiss will not load from the start of the film. So one dud movie so far.
