Dead Man's Eyes (1944)

"I wouldn't be surprised if this man were insane. He wouldn't be the first one who'd gone mad studying the processes of the mind."

"Precisely, Captain. I compliment you on your sagacity."

"You know, it's people like you that have caused me to steer clear of all this book psychology."

Universal's saddest lump of clay Lon Chaney‚ back doing what he does best (having a dreadful time) #he starts off in high spirits here; he's got it all‚ a career as an up and coming artist‚ a devoted model‚ a loving fiancee and her #moneybags patron father‚ and best of all he has a little shelf on which he keeps his big bottle of eyewash next to his identical big bottle #of acid. truly what more could a man ask for. but what's that... no Lon! surely not! whoever could have foreseen such a tragic incident.. #so yeah Lon loses his eyes‚ then gets new eyes but may have murdered to get them. cue classic did he didn't he shenanigans and the usual #absurdly dickish cop poking in his nose and basically bullying everyone. high melodrama nonsense but for the first time this film shows #some cracks around the edges; the cast are more variable than in the previous films‚ with Acquanetta stilted and monotone while Ed Fielding #goes too far the other way as a constantly shouting and gesticulating father figure. outside of Lon‚ Gomez is probably the best value #and seems to be having genuine fun as the asshole investigating the case. not quite as good as sanctums 1 and 2 and with a touch more #chauvinism to it (particularly in the way Acquanetta is consistently described as moody or difficult‚ or how all the male characters #discuss Parker's romantic future without her even being present let alone asked) but it still has fun nonsense to be found

Rod Serling ֍ David Wayne & Thomas Gomez in The Twilight Zone Season 1 Episode 6: Escape Clause (1959)

You're about to meet a hypochondriac. Witness, Mr. Walter Bedeker, age forty-four, afraid of the following: death, disease, other people, germs, draft, and everything else. He has one interest in life, and that's Walter Bedeker. One preoccupation: the life and well-being of Walter Bedeker. One abiding concern about society: that if Walter Bedeker should die, how will it survive without him?

The Furies

If all Westerns looked like John Ford’s or Anthony Mann’s, I think I’d be a much bigger fan of the genre. Of course, it’s almost unfair to call Mann’s THE FURIES (1950, Criterion Channel, YouTube) a Western. It’s more of an anti-Western. It features the same conflict as in most of the genre — the frontier vs. civilization — but in this case civilization is represented not by home, family and the feminine but rather by business interests, particularly banks. And as shot by Victor Milner, the wide-open spaces are more oppressive than liberating. These characters don’t need railroads and cities and farms to fence them in. They’re already confined by their own twisted passions. Walter Huston is the tyrannical, mercurial owner of a ranch called The Furies. He’s Lear on horseback. He plans to leave everything to his tough, adoring daughter (Barbara Stanwyck) as long as he can control her life, including whomever she might marry. Then he comes home from a business trip with a wealthy widow (Judith Anderson) out to take Stanwyck’s place, and the fur and the scissors fly. Charles Schnee adapted the script from a Niven Busch novel, and at the start it has the meandering quality of a lot of fiction. You can’t quite tell where the story’s going, but the characters and atmosphere are so rich it doesn’t matter. And when you get to see Huston (in his last film) and Stanwyck interact, who needs a plot. There’s a terrific score by Franz Waxman and wonderful supporting work from Anderson, Gilbert Roland, Thomas Gomez, Blanche Yurka and Beulah Bondi, who’s barely on screen five minutes yet manages to capture her character simply in the way she transfers her fan from one hand to the other. Censorship imposed a certain racism on the film. Where Stanwyck and Roland had an affair in the novel and even married, that was turned into a friendship and Roland’s unrequited love, because his character, a Mexican, couldn’t be intimate with a white woman. And then there’s Wendell Corey. He’s better than in a lot of his leading roles, but he hardly seems magnetic enough to capture Stanwyck’s passions. And the character, as written for the screen, doesn’t make a lot of sense. He uses Stanwyck at first and then suddenly falls in love with her. Nor does it help that he has a misguidedly chauvinistic proposal scene: “And don’t ask me to be your husband. If we marry, remember one thing. You’ll be my wife. Whenever you’re wrong, I’ll tell you so. If I’m ever wrong, you just keep your little mouth shut.” Would anybody ever believe he could exercise that kind of control over a Barbara Stanwyck? Or a Barbara Hale? Or even a Barbara Pepper?

The Climax (1944)

"I don't hate you. I only hate the thing that's come between us: your voice."

"Yes, I know. You were out front tonight. I felt your eyes on me. Like you're looking at me now. Go away. Get out of here! I'm afraid of you."

"You needn't be. I love you, my darling, you know that. I'd give my life for you. This thing that shuts me out, I won't let it, I tell you I won't let it. It's here... now, between my fingers. I've only to close them to silence it forever."

Karloff is criminally underused as the Phantom insert #obsessed with a dead love (that he deaded) but the supporting cast make up for his absences. lovely Turhan Bey is a lovesick composer so #moved by his fiancée's first public performance that he eats his theatre programme. i mean if that doesn't sell it what will? also a stand #out is the perennially dependable Gomez as the brash theatre manager with a twinkle in his eye and a soft heart. a lot of fun this (ymmv)
