Reviews:

Good movie, just saw it.
I had the good fortune of being able to see this movie on the big screen last night thanks to a local movie theater that sometimes plays movies that are either hard to come by or are not played in a theater any longer.

This movie was filmed in Sonoma County, north of San Francisco, where I also happen to live. After the movie, there was a small lecture given by a local history professor, and even though his talk was interesting, he didn’t really delve into any of the other symbolism which I found to be present in the movie: immigrants being pitted against each other, and exploited not only by each other but by the Capitalist system as well. It’s too bad that more older movies aren’t shown on a big screen, because I believe that you probably won’t receive the full impact of older films on a television.

Absolutely sensational thriller
Absolutely sensational thriller from Jules Dassin and starring Richard Conte on top form. One would not have imagined that a film revolving around the apple trade would be even the slightest bit interesting but this is a stunner. The tension is so extreme at times that the film is barely watchable and the humour at others so broad we think of Laurel and Hardy. The script from A J Bezzerides based upon his original book is articulate, intelligent, funny and political and with such blistering dialogue and faultless direction and camera work, including trademark montages, this movie never pauses for breath. We even get sizzling non explicit sex scenes courtesy of the lead and an equally stunning performance from Valentina Cortesa. Just wait for the late scene when the aforementioned lady declares in full sarcastic mode, ‘Aren’t women wonderful’. I gasped and you will too – see it now!
