The cinematography in “Sabotage” is delicious.  Because of this, look around before deciding which online version to watch.  Some of the versions are blurry and you won’t fully appreciate the astounding black-and-white art work of Bernard Knowles’ work.

 

Knowles (1900-1975) was a British director, producer, cinematographer and screenwriter.  He, like Hitchcock, was a part of the very earliest cinema in Britain.  Knowles started his career as a newspaper photographer and during the 1920s worked as a photographer for the Detroit News.

It's nicely decorated with art work, books, cushions.  It's comfortable and the food is really good.  There is a real lack of innovation in and around St. Simons Island in terms of food.  But, this restaurant is an exception.

"The Killers" was Burt Lancaster's first movie. But, he wasn't the studio's first choice. Warner Brothers wouldn't lend out actor Wayne Morris for the film. Other actors considered for the part include: Van Heflin, Jon Hall, Sonny Tufts, and Edmond O'Brien, who was instead cast in the role of the insurance investigator.

Come join us for a lively discussion of "The Killers."

The Misfits (1961)

 

The first movie in our new series is one left over from the Clark Gable Series, the Misfits, starring Clark Gable and directed by John Huston.

 

Gable felt that it was a compliment that he was offered the part of Gay (the male lead) since he considered it an “intellectual” script, a western but not a western and unlike other parts he had played.

 

Arthur Miller who wrote the screen play, was not at first taken with the idea of casting Gable, but after he met and talked with Gable, he decided that Gable was Gay, or Gay was Gable.
