I am not
the one to decide whether it is good or bad luck for a director to create a
wonderful piece of film with their first try..
The one I
want to present now is the very first film Nicholas Ray directed – and again a
film based on a novel:
THEY LIVE
BY NIGHT (1949)
When Bowie
(Fraley Granger) and Keechie (Cathy O’Donnell) meet – we could have a classic
boy meets girl story – but: Bowie is on the run. The police is after him and
his mates (Howard Da Silva and Jay C. Flippen). And though Keechie and Bowie
try to live the classic lovers’ dream of marriage and founding a family – the
polive doesn’t forget about Bowie..
~ dreaming of a calm and happy life.. ~ |
I love this
film. It’s kind of a gloomy love story about two very young people who’s luck
doesn’t have a real chance. I love the moments when they’re together trying to
live kind of a normal life.
~I also love that singer Mary Bryant has an appearnce..~ |
This might be not the classical lover’s film – but
it’s one of my favourite love stories.
So – if you don’t need a classic happy end and loads of glamour to be
fine with a film:
Please, give it a try.
Thank you
very much for listening!
Yours
Irene
