Safe in Hell

The plot may be utter nonsense, but William A. Wellman’s SAFE IN HELL (1931, Criterion Channel, TCM) is so visually distinctive and features such good performances by Dorothy Mackaill, Nina Mae McKinney and Clarence Muse it’s almost irresistible. Mackaill is a prostitute because after her former boss (Ralf Harolde) raped her she couldn’t get another job. When a procurer (Cecil Cunningham in a brief, vivid bit) sends her off on a job, it turns out to be Harolde. She fights him off, accidentally starting a fire in which he’s reported dead, so her childhood sweetheart (Donald Wood) sneaks her to a Caribbean island with no extradition treaty where she’s surrounded by other criminals “safe in hell.” There she falls prey to a crooked local jailer (Morgan Wallace) who hides Wood’s letters and support payments from her, and her life just goes downhill from there. Wellman and cinematographer Sidney Hickox throw in some impressive camera angles to keep things humming and a lot of shots of mirrors to reflect Mackaill’s divided nature. And she pulls off an impressive job of playing the tough cookie when she has to and letting her vulnerable side come through in places. Most notable is the treatment of McKinney and Muse, the only decent people in the film. Although their roles were originally written in stereotyped black dialect, they speak perfectly on screen, and Muse even has an impeccable British accent. McKinney also gets one of the film’s best closeups, has some remarkably fresh line readings and introduces the jazz standard “When It’s Sleepy Time Down South.”

This right here 👆🏻

He said it.

Republicans can continue to reject the truth and deem everything they don’t want to hear “fake news”, but Trump said it.

they should give the actor who plays homelander an emmy just because there has never been a performance that so successfully manages to activate my fight or flight every second he's on screen without fail

#every second of screen time feels like im being chased through the woods with a chainsaw #the boys #i would genuinely like to study people who are attracted to him in a lab he's like if they made a ken doll of donald trump and it became #sentient
