MQ for 03/31/2023-

It explores themes of desire, greed, and betrayal, and directors direction is masterful in creating tension and suspense.

This movie really hits all the noir bases and hits them well. The story, which concerns murder and a femme fatale, is pretty much the epitome of the genre, while the directors use of shadow gives a film a real sense of dark brooding, which blends nicely with the nature of the central cast of characters; all festering behind a mundane small town exterior.

Within this sliver we get a stifling portrait of narrow lives as restrictively defined as a train car passageway, the typical of this director's fatalism but with a more pointedly feminine perspective.

The male actor in this plays his usual milquetoast, who here dips a toe into the possibility of murder for love, then backs out, free to shake the whole thing off as a bad dream. For her it’s not that simple, as she’s trapped inside of a triangle of men (the lascivious boss / the jealous husband / the new lover unwilling to accept her for what she’s been shaped into), with no options for conducting a life without the help of one of these points.

Trains have excited filmmakers and Freudians since the beginning. This director doesn’t cheat himself and he gives us lots of long POV shots of rail lines running towards the horizon metaphorical of escape, locomotives bursting into tunnels, dark tunnels of inner turmoil, and lights at the end of tunnels. And sometimes a train is just a train. Trains also make great settings for thrillers because they both in motion and confining. Hitchcock invented the vocabulary of the railroad thriller, and this director uses it well to ratchet up the suspense. The film's story is engaging and keeps the audience on the edge of their seat throughout.

Yes we have Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Though I have played in the past the 1956 version this will be a first since I have just located it. This 2nd version is not bad at all. Get ready to get your Pod smashers out for this occasion.

Oh boy! You went WAY back this time 🤭

surprise 9/10

5/10 Guessed on all except the obvious ones that showed a trumpet or pool cues. Have never seen any of those episodes.

10/10. Four of my favorites, especially A Passage for Trumpet and In Praise of Pip. He was such a great actor.

3/10, Better than expected, but should be able to guess better than that.

8 out of 10. Should have done better...

6/10…We know you can do better than this, try again, NOT! 😂🤣

9 of 10, missd #2

9/10 my favorite actor in tz, burgess or John Anderson next

8 of 10. I generally associated Jack Klugman with Oscar Madison in the Odd Couple. In Twilight Zone he could play more dramatic roles. The "In Praise of Pip" episode always gets me a little misty at the end. They were all great episodes!

9/10. I know my TZ episodes. My favorite with Klugmann was "A Game of Pool".

5/10. I kept accidentally answering "Quincy" on half of them.

6 of 10

5/10 I will have to watch more TV!!!

8/10

Just watching all those episodes with my dad as a kid, and now watching them with my son, paid off for something. Lol.

5/10. No comment.
