Night Key (1937)

"Now, listen, Steve. Twenty years ago you robbed me of the patent rights of the system that you're now using. Perhaps there was some excuse for that: because it gave you wealth, success, position, all the things that tempt one man to rob another. But now that you have everything and I have nothing, what possible reason is there for you to do this to me again?"

Karloff‚ as he often did‚ is #playing older than he was but he's very good and highly sympathetic as the doddery old prof. there's lots of good performances here‚ from #Jean Rogers' charming daughter to Warren Hull's romantic interest (much less tiresome than the usual role fillers in these movies) and #special mention to Hobart C as a delightfully seedy smalltime crook who attaches himself to BK like a stray dog. the only dud note is #Alan Baxter's weirdly monotone turn as the big bad‚ lacking any of the threat the character needs. the ending is twee and silly and there's #some (understandably) shaky fx work but this is genuinely a very fun time and a pleasant change from the usual Karloff vehicle of the era #one jarring moment: there's a very brief moment where a plot related news bulletin is heard on the radio‚ and as soon as it's finished the #news announcer begins to turn to the 'news from Spain' but the radio is switched off and the film moves on before we hear any more; this is #1937 remember‚ a moment of global tumult and thick in the gathering storm of the years to come but this is the only moment that the real #world is allowed to intrude into the charming and slighty silly world of eccentric inventors and sinister crooks

(Archive) Christmas movie of the day: It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

Originally posted: December 21st, 2021 Sometimes, Christmas alone isn't enough to bring the best out of us. Life isn't always easy on people and that won't stop being the case just because it's winter. Which is strangely enough the set up of, according to many, one of the most uplifting movies ever. A movie that despite not being completely timeless on it's every avenue it certainly still resonates with audiences, a feat that cannot be said for every movie that is 75 years old. Interestingly enough it isn't just a happy, go lucky film despite what it's reputation may make it sound like. No, it uplifts you. That means you have to be down so you can go up.

Disillusion, deception, despair and sacrifice are at the core of the movie; a man often being willing to sacrifice many chances of fulfilling his dreams so he can support others, constantly, frequently and substantially until reaching his breaking point. Even death rears it's head early on, showing a very simple strength for the film: it understands life is hard. This however doesn't mean the movie is bleak, nihilistic, or even humorless. In fact, the movie is befitting of it's name: it looks at life with enthusiasm and hope even with it's harshness.

A story about the power of altruism in the face of unfairness and injustice(Potter is just an evil capitalist incarnate), it shows hope against hope in a way that can be reinvigorating after times of duress for many(…even if it literally operates on a Deus Ex Machina with Clarence, the core message about helping others during times of need is still relevant).

That being said, there's plenty of this movie that has aged…ungracefully. The alternate fate of Mary is devoid of gravitas (or even that much logic) and there's lots of things that only make sense in the context of the 40's(like Mr. Gower being presented as sympathetic despite hitting kid George). Still, it's not hard to see why people still like this movie…except for Batman.
