    "If I were teaching a class on how to make a small film seem big, this would be on the syllabus. The camera never shows anything except that which is essential to the story." I reviewed a wonderful, small film called Night Nurse. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/nigh...

    IF GO WILL THEY MISS ME, a heartfelt coming-of-age story set in South Los Angeles, is the kind of a film that Sundance is all about. I wrote about that, NIGHT NURSE and JARIPEO for my latest Sundance dispatch via @ebertvoices.bsky.social.

    Barbara Stanwyck exuded intense sex appeal in her Pre-Codes and had a splendid pair of legs. Here she is in her 1927 stage hit "The Noose" and in her Pre-Code movie (with young Clark Gable) "Night Nurse":

    Remembering Barbara Stanwyck, who #dotd in 1990 at the age of 82. I love her in everything I've ever seen her in. Some of my many favorites are Baby Face, Double Indemnity, Night Nurse, and the underrated Internes Can't Take Money. Can you recommend a Stanwyck movie that doesn't get enough love?

    Speaking of Spider-Man: Brand New Day (see previous thread about ICE) Am I to understand that there is a deleted scene with Claire Temple/ Night Nurse/ Rosario Dawson? Not that the movie isn't already packed with charismatic performances, but why would you ever delete a scene with Rosario Dawson?

    A film about what it is to discover that someone else speaks your dirty language, on the same line, and will not hang up, NIGHT NURSE is both a lovely work of art and absolute fucking freak shit that will either enrage or enrapture. I loved it.

    Not a particularly good film, but Stanwyck in these early, unglamorous roles—all real teeth and raw emotion—is fun to watch. (NIGHT NURSE and THE MIRACLE WOMAN are much better early showcases for her talent.)
