'He Ran All the Way' – John Garfield's last stand on Criterion Channel

‘He Ran All the Way’ – John Garfield’s last stand on Criterion Channel

John Garfield is all jittery paranoia and street-kid anger as a small-time hood in a bad spot in He Ran All the Way (1951). Over the course of a couple of sweltering days, he shoots a cop in a payroll robbery (Norman Lloyd is the partner who pressures him into the job) and takes a working-class family hostage in his escape. Hiding out at a public pool, he picks up a shy shop girl (Shelley…

Gladys George and James Cagney in The Roaring Twenties (Raoul Walsh, 1939) Cast: James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Priscilla Lane, Gladys George, Frank McHugh, Jeffrey Lynn, Paul Kelly, Abner Biberman, voice of John Deering. Screenplay: Jerry Wald, Richard Macaulay, Robert Rossen, Mark Hellinger. Cinematography: Ernest Haller. Art direction: Max Parker. Film editing: Jack Killifer. Music: Ray Heindorf, Max Roemheld.

The Roaring Twenties feels like a kind of valedictory to the golden age of Warner Bros. gangster movies, featuring as it does such specialists in the genre as James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, and the always welcome tough dame Gladys George. But they're not quite enough to overcome the presence of the inexplicable Priscilla Lane and the charisma-free Jeffrey Lynn, or the dogged hectoring of the voiceover narration. The movie seems out to prove that gangsterism didn't exist before Prohibition and that it disappeared magically once it was repealed. There are some good moments of action, but they're overwhelmed by the repetitions of such tired oldies as "Melancholy Baby" and "It Had to Be You," both on the soundtrack and sung (blandly) by Lane. The story is the old one of three guys who meet in a foxhole in World War I, then have trouble adjusting to civilian life. We know that Bogart's George Hally and Lynn's Lloyd Hart are going to go in opposite directions when, just on the brink of the armistice, Hart holds off on shooting a German he has in his sights because "he looks like a kid, about 15 years old," whereupon Hally picks the German off and sneers, growling "He won't be 16." Cagney has a more complex role, as Eddie Bartlett, a mechanic who can't find work and gradually shifts into bootlegging, teaming up with Hally, but falling in love with the virtuous Jean Sherman, who eventually marries Hart, now a lawyer. After helping Bartlett with the legal end of his illegal business, Hart goes straight and joins the district attorney's office, leading to threats from Hally to keep him quiet. It's the Cagney-Lane-Lynn love triangle that mostly drags the picture down.

Flamingo Road

When Warner Bros. reunited the director and stars of MILDRED PIERCE (1945) for Michael Curtiz’s FLAMINGO ROAD (1949, TCM, YouTube), they created a masterful piece of sheer hokum. Of course, the same could be said about the earlier film, but at least Crawford was well cast in that one. It’s not that she’s bad as a carnival dancer stranded in a small Southern town where she falls for the deputy sheriff (Scott), thereby earning sheriff Sydney Greenstreet’s eternal enmity. Her line readings are expert, she knows how to use her body, and for once she keeps the nostril flaring and heavy breathing to a minimum. It’s just that the early scenes ring false. Even though she’s been working in the butt-end of show business, the character has a degree of innocence and naivete, and however well Crawford reads the lines, that late Crawford face — those insistent lips and eyebrows — plays against them. And though it’s a period thing, it’s rather grating to hear everybody referring to her as a “girl.” She’s a much better fit for the role when she marries political boss David Brian and gets some class and sophistication. It’s a pity the writers didn’t think to put a time lapse in. It would have made her transformation more believable. It also would have helped the plot. On Greenstreet’s orders, Scott dumps Crawford to marry a banker’s daughter so he can serve as a state senator. But within only a few months, Greenstreet is pushing him to the political machine as a gubernatorial candidate. Without his moustache, Scott does well as a weakling, and Greenstreet, despite a Southern accent that sounds more Bostonian, does a bang-up job as the corrupt boss. Crawford doesn’t stand a chance in their scenes together. Three great character types enliven the supporting cast, with Gertrude Michael as a waitress working with Crawford early on, Iris Adrian as her jail mate when Greenstreet frames her for prostitution and Gladys George, magnificent as ever, as the feisty roadhouse owner who’s the only person who can put Greenstreet in his place. Working with cinematographer Ted McCord, Curtiz uses a cluttered mise-en-scene, shadows and composition in depth to put the picture somewhere on the dividing line between Southern gothic and film noir.
