ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES - 1938

The success of "Dead End" caused Warner Bros. to issue another crime picture the next year featuring the Dead End Kids. "Angels With Dirty Faces" also had Humphrey Bogart in a supporting role, but this time out, James Cagney, Warner's reigning tough guy since "The Public Enemy" in 1931, was the lead. The movie was helmed by the studio's most prolific director, Michael Curtiz. Here is the original trailer.

Notorious

Being in Elements of Film last semester i had previously seen the long 3 seconds on 3 seconds off kiss scene from Notorious before! Everyone is always finding new ways to push the limits of bend the rules and that is what Hitchcock did here!

What a great romance movie! Although the sub of uranium ore that was unfolding provides tense moments and is the foundation for bringing all the characters together i thought it was a little weak as we never really found out what was going on but who cares in the end when everything turns out just find.

Great movie onto the next one!

Notorious

So, was it just me or did anyone else notice that Devlin never opened his mouth in those kissing scenes with Alicia.I thought it was so awkward. She was rubbing her lips all over him and he kept his mouth pursed together. Is that the only way they were allowed to kiss in movies back then? Heck, if I only got 3 minutes I'd make them count.

NOTORIOUS - THE FATEFUL CUP

The coffee cup for this shot was actually about 12 inches tall so it could stay in relative focus with Ingrid Bergman.

Here is a shot of Hitchcock directing Ingrid Bergman in the high crane shot that ends on the key.
