Sorry you couldn't give Wild River one little point, but I'm glad you like it. Stay well. Bob

Hi, Domenicano. I like your choices for 1925. It was very hard for me to choose between Lady Windermere and Big Parade for number one!

Yes, Domenicano, lyrical and bittersweet are the words for I Walk the Line, and Tuesday Weld is indeed superb, as is the entire cast with one of Gregory Peck's best performances. John Frankenheimer was an inconsistent filmmaker, but when he was truly engaged by his material and his actors, he was one of the best. //// Don't go to any trouble to find those last two '56 films. They are both what you might call sentimental favorites. Both are pretty good, but far from being lost masterpieces. Nightmare is based on a story by Cornell Woolrich, one of my favorite writers. It was the last of only six films directed by Maxwell Shane and a remake of his first film Fear in the Night. All of the films he directed are pretty good, with better actors as he went along, but after Nightmare, he dropped into writing and producing for television. Too bad; he might have developed into something special. ///// Death of a Scoundrel is less defendable, but discovering it on late night television five or six years later was quite an experience. It is so weird that my friends and I wondered if we were hallucinating. I know that may make it sound very attractive, but don't say I didn't warn you! Bob

Domenicano, I am happy to see another vote for I Walk the Line. It's one of my favorite "forgotten" movies. Bob
