On Dangerous Ground (1951) ***
Nifty melo-noir that manages to exceed its tropes with a terrific Bob Ryan performance and some edgy direction from Nick Ray. Bernie Herrmann's score is a little too NNW but effective.

Peter Ibbetson (1935) **
Oddball melo-fantasy almost pulls it off with fine photography and a fine Coop.

Sleeping Car to Trieste (1948) *
Hard to follow all the extraneous sub plots or care about any of the characters.

The Face Behind the Mask (1941) **
Pete Lorre is marvelous in this wildly preposterous melo. Quick pace helps.

Psycho II (1983) **
Prime Meg Tilly is the star here despite Tony Perkins' mugging. Fun to see the old sets back in action.

L'Eclisse (1962) **
If you have to attend a film class in order to understand a film that film has failed. Still, I could watch Mlle. Vitti and M. Delon walk around Rome's construction sites all day. Some beautiful images.
