Capitalism: Charging $1 for a 3 Minute Movie.

Why didn't the director just fire Myrtle?

Whoever put this trailer together is a master at turd polishing. Horrible film, great trailer.

Vastly overrated, and one has to wonder how much Sjostrom's idea were altered by the powers that be in 1920s Hollywood. His Swedish films from the teens dwarf this film completely. The first hour of the film is a soap opera, ad not a very interesting one at that; while we are constantly hammered over the head with the concept that the wind in this place is really bad. The ending of the film, was supposedly altered for a 'happy ending', but even if it had ended with Gish wandering off, mad, to die in the desert, I don't think that it would have elevated the film too much. Prior to the last scene, though I must say, there was about a 15 minute stretch of rather impressive filmmaking; but its not enough to save this soap opera from itself.

This sh!t looks like garbage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygiDWvfwwNw

Notorious is a great film, I gave it a 4/5 on the auteurs' scale, 6/8 on my own. One of Hitch's best movies. I loved the characters. I love the setting, and the set up, but something in me wishes that it went on for another 30 or 40 minutes.
