Branagh is unbearably grotesque, though he's at least trying. Salma Hayek sleep walks through the whole thing. The film itself is a series of tonally odd unfunny sequences that look expensive but only in terms of how you can see that they wasted a lot of money on their very ugly sets and visual effects. It's a terrible film. <br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Dick Tracy: Clark Gable<br />Big Boy Caprice: Louis Wolheim<br />Breathless Mahoney: Marlene Dietrich<br />Tess Trueheart: Bebe Daniels<br />The Kid: Jackie Cooper<br />Chief Brandon: Edward Arnold<br />Fletcher: Frank Morgan<br />Mumbles: Paul Muni<br />Flattop: Louis Calhern<br />Itchy: Ray Collins<br />Lips Manlis: Eugene PalletteLouis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-87540280588835585122016-08-27T17:52:50.441-04:002016-08-27T17:52:50.441-04:00Saw Hell or High Water.

I personally would not put it up with his best, and the plot itself seems that of a standard medical melodrama. What Kurosawa does with that still I think is fairly remarkable as he not only makes the central conflict affecting, but I also love just his attention to the smaller details such as they way he creates a real sense of the life of the hospital. <br /><br />I could easily raise Shimura up for both Drunken Angel and I Live in Fear. <br /><br />As for reaction shots. Love your choices. A few of my favorites off the top of my head are when Salieri figures out who Mozart is in Amadeus, when Timothy finds out what happened to his daughter in 10 Rillington Place, and in It's a Wonderful Life with Stewart's reaction to "but George they'll vote with potter otherwise".

Which is to say it was good, but just didn't have that extra 'spark' to it most of his films have. Mifune was great though, I'm torn between him and Cagney for my 1949 win.<br /><br />Also are there any Takashi Shimura performances you might possibly bump up? I re-watched Drunken Angel the other day and though Mifune is still my win, Shimura I thought did a fantastic job as well and I've upped him to my runner-up and a 5 for the year.
