Binge watching TCM lately.
Key Largo – This takes some time to build up, but it’s another fantastic Bogey and Bacall flick, and John Huston’s knack for examining the human spirit in a very pessimistic way works well here. Edward G. Robinson was absolutely horrendous in the best way possible. This appears to have been a major influence for The Hateful Eight.

Night of the Hunter – Speaking of being absolutely horrendous, Robert Mitchum here was terrifying. Can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said. Stylistically gorgeous, great tension, perfect characters. Best of the bunch tonight.

Brigadoon – Nice way to end the day. None of the numbers were all that special except “Almost Like Being in Love”. Can’t help but enjoy a nice colorful MGM musical anyway.
