Perfect Films Redux
August 30, 2020
Wow was David Mamet right about four perfect films.
Just watched Dodsworth last night. We loved it! They sure as hell don't make movies like that any more. Boy, actors sure talked fast in movies in the 30s. We tried turning on closed captions. There aren't any.
The acting was excellent, the script amazing (I assume all the good lines came from the novel or the play, but since the screenwriter wrote the play he was plagiarizing himself).
Although I try to maintain a strict 9:30 bedtime, I was up until 10:15 because I HAD to see how it ended. My respect for Mamet just increased, which is amazing considering how high it already was.
