@@HOTD108_ The Sopranos made so many great classic film references. High Noon with Gary Cooper is a masterpiece of a Western, and The Public Enemy with James Cagney is a masterpiece of a gangster film, which gets referenced a few times as well. Tony definitely had good taste in classic cinema. We all gotta give him that(and David Chase legitimately is a film buff as well).
Humphrey Bogart. Peter LORRE. Sydney Greenstreet. Mary Astor. Elisha Cook, Jr. What a cast. And an entertaining as hell movie! To those who have never watched this film, oh are you in for a treat.
And Sidney Greenstreet played Gutman, the fat man. He was also in Casablanca. Both films are amazing classics and will be analyzed and revered till the sun goes cold.
The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep, the pinnacle of the hard boiled noir. Even if you try to make a movie homage to the hard boiled noir genre, puttin in it everything you know about the genre, you won't still be able to beat the archetypal hardboilednoirness of those 2 films. Bogart simply is the goat. Talking about Sinatra in Bogie style, I love the sun&drinks&women noir Tony Rome.
I can't believe in the "People Mentioned" section of the video, (under the description) it's got a photo and a link to British actor Peter Lawford. It shows how one wrong piece of information can have a knock-on effect in our digital age.
It's kind of interesting watching actors describe movies. They talk about the camera angles, lighting, props etc. For me this movie is all about the characters and the plot. Who is this guy? Where does that girl really come from and what does she really want? Did Sam really love her or was he just playing her right from the start? I guess if you are already deep in Hollywood the illusion and suspension of disbelief has already been broken.
Because Bill has morphed into one of those self important, self absorbed meatheads with a podcast, he doesn't want to put any effort into it. He wants your likes and clicks and the cash flow but you don't get much in return these day from old Bill.
On the morning from a Bogart movie, in a country where they turn back time, he goes strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre, contemplating a crime....
@@NoirFan84 Fair enough, what do you think about High Sierra (1941) by Raoul Walsh, The Big Sleep (1946) by Howard Hawks, or In A Lonely Place (1950) by Nicholas Ray?
@azohundred1353 I love every one of those. All his early roles where he was often the villain too like The Roaring Twenties, Angels With Dirty Faces, The Petrified Forest, Dead End etc., Casablanca turned him into a hero & that's what he played for almost the entire rest of his character of course, barring one exception (his reunion with William Wyler where he played a villain in one of his final roles in The Desperate Hours), but yeah, he did loads of noir badguy roles early on.
@NoirFan84 The Petrified Forest was the first film I saw him in, I was going through all the 1930's gangster films(Robinson, Cagney, Muni) and that initially put him on the map. Duke Mantee is a great character, it's like a combination of Dillinger and Hickey from The Iceman Cometh. I liked his bad guy roles alongside Cagney in Angels with Dirty Faces and Roaring Twenties. He was also good as a bad guy to Edward G. Robinson in Bullets or Ballots(then they'd reverse roles in Key Largo a decade later). While I agree the everlasting image of Bogart(post-Casablanca) is of the hero, I would personally say he subverted that a few times. The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre comes to mind, he becomes a full-blown psychotic in that one. In A Lonely Place has him "verging on psychopathology," to quote Jim Jarmusch(it's his favorite Bogie role and Nicholas Ray was his mentor), and The Caine Mutiny has him as a mentally unstable Navy Captain not unlike a modern-day(at the time) Captain Bligh. His character is riveting in Wyler's Desperate Hours, definitely. It's like an upgraded version of Duke Mantee from The Petrified Forest, and that's actually how Bogie described it, I believe. It's interesting to talk about his roles, you begin to realize what a great career he had in a relatively short time compared to many other actors. I only wish him and Cagney could've done something else together in the 40's or 50's. Think Heat before Heat. I know they faced off in the 30's a few times, but one more time would've been interesting, maybe even add Robinson in the mix.
@azohundred1353 Have you seen The Last Gangster where Robinson goes against Jimmy Stewart? Pretty good. It's one of those early career pair-ups you never knew happened until you properly delve into the classics & find the hidden gems, which there are many of.
@@NoirFan84 Yes! I was also surprised to find that pairing(I saw it when I watched some of the lesser known Robinson crime dramas), I know Robinson intended that to be his last gangster role and it would have been a fitting end, but I'm glad he ended up doing more, especially Key Largo.
A master shot is temporally concerned not spacially. A master shot captures the entire action of a scene instead of just a few segments of it i.e. one line of dialog. This is usually a wide shot, but not necessarily.
I just watched it last night and enjoyed it. All the cast was excellent, especially Bogart and the whale-ish villain. I’m going to go on a John Huston spree now.
Webley Fosbery .45 holds 6 rounds not 8 and is the size of toaster. Was Mary Astor carrying a purse the size of a shopping bag? Otherwise no complaints.
He was talking about Frank Sinatra earlier in the clip and Peter Lawford was part of the Rat Pack, so maybe a couple of wires in Bill's brain got crossed.
What a minute. You were given three minutes to talk about a classic movie you live to watch and all you can come away with is "oh yeah, look at them snoking". That's three minutes off my life. I just smoked an unfiltered Camel watching this. Just say no, kids.
The Big Sleep is better than the Maltese Falcon. Bogie is great in both but Falcon has a weirdly bad plot. Just when the movie gets interesting the whole plot is dropped at Bogie’s doorstep.
My teacher played this movie for us when I was in 7th grade on one of those pointless days just before summer break. This blew all of our minds
Humphrey Bogart set the gold standard for the Hard-Boiled Detective. This is film noir perfection, always rewatchable, in my opinion.
I'll watch pretty much any pi movie or anything close like Big Lebowski and Brick.
What ever happened to Gary Cooper?

To those who have never watched this film, oh are you in for a treat.
"Obviously Bogart dies, so that really helps the marriage, but anyway..."
Peter Lorre you dope!!!!!!
But Peter Lawford was in the Rat Pack 😹
Still one of the greatest films of all time! Holds up well today too.
One of those films on the Mt. Everest level of cinema. Great no matter how many times you've seen it.
Peter Lawford???? Peter Lorre was Joel Cairo. Great actor. Outstanding in Casablanca, too.
"You despise me, don't you?"
And Sidney Greenstreet played Gutman, the fat man. He was also in Casablanca. Both films are amazing classics and will be analyzed and revered till the sun goes cold.
Burr should react to John Huston's "The Asphalt Jungle" (1950) - a seriously excellent heist caper
Rififi too, one of my favorites

Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet...come on Bill!
I think that was Greenstreet's film debut. At age 65.
You mean Peter Lorre? 😆
Great movie. And my favorite actor.
First time I read a book and then when i saw the movie it was what i saw in my head and they were equally great
I can't believe in the "People Mentioned" section of the video, (under the description) it's got a photo and a link to British actor Peter Lawford. It shows how one wrong piece of information can have a knock-on effect in our digital age.
Peter LAWFORD?! Love that Bill acknowledges he’s saying Peter Lorre’s name incorrectly
Great friggin movie. Whenever somebody says black and white movies suck, tell them to watch this.
He says peter lawford instead of Lorre; which is funny since he was in the rat pack; mentioned Sinatra etc

How does someone who has worked with the film industry for many years not know the names Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet?
You would be surprised how little people in the film industry know of their own history. Especially nowadays.
Peter Lawford!
Hey, Bill-in the immortal words of Moe Howard-“Why don’t you get a toupee with some brains in it?”
@2:19 that guy is Peter Lorre, Bill.

Loved Lorre in 'Arsenic and Old Lace' as Dr. Einstein lol. One of the all time great screwball comedies.
i dont think he can hear you
@@kit-on5ezare you trying to say that back in the day he put more effort into the podcast? have you listened to old episodes?
I always assumed that back in the early 40s even the doctors smoked while they gave you health exams.
They also kept a pint in the desk drawer, you know, for their health.
Back then, many people seriously believed that smoking was healthy for you.
Phenomenal film, chef recommends!
Burr is correct.
I read this book in jail.
Brutal.
Want smoking and, especially, drinking? Try the first couple of "The Thin Man" movies William Powell puts on a Martini Master Class
Yes, Bob, you should know all their names.
I'm a big noir fan & a fan of many of Bogart's noir outings too, he did a lot of them, but this is the one noir classic I just could never take to.

Peter Lawford, was one of Sinatra's buds...haha, and a movie star. But this guy is Peter Lorre.

Peter Lawferd lol
Bill is going to film school apparently
that sums it up haha
Peter Lawford...lol
Hes like you know youre a god when you score a chick less than half your age. Im not arguing it, but putting it out there 😂
Sydney Greenstreet was the fat man, Peter lore was Joel Cairo.
Oh Bill. You really should know who Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet are. Love ya bud, but… do better.

Tells us nothing
louder and more annoying intro please
Great movie. And my favorite actor.
