neutral · AI labelView post →#KirkDouglas is terrific in Detective Story, a gritty, intense look at one brutal day in a New York police station. The film doesn’t pull its punches, with Douglas delivering a fascinatingly flawed performance. Dark, tense and still surprisingly powerful. #NowWatching #DetectiveStory

VHS-only oddity ONE WIERD FLICK, which, true to its tagline, is a movie that got everthang.

Because it's after midnight and the toddler alarm may go off at any time. I'm also enjoying the slow craft. And I know the real work is still to come #booksky #amwriting

I still can't watch Detective Story or Ace in the Hole, specifically because of him. I really love Mitchum, tho. I vidded Night of the Hunter. :D

Its one problem, though, is that it comes with a glacial pace to match its wintry setting". This imagining of Edgar Allen Poe's early years is in UK cinemas now.

It's a day that nobody present will ever forget - for better or worse... Directed by William Wyler (Best years Of Our Lives, Ben-Hur & Wuthering Heights) and starring Kirk Douglas, Eleanor Parker, William Bendix, Cathy O'Donnell and Joseph Wiseman.
