Romans Noir Is High Class

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2013)

This is yet another example of 1970s movie making in America. Another great movie from the greatest movie making decade..in U.S.A. history. Roman Polanski directs brilliantly, and Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway and John Huston are simply superb in there roles. This was the era when special effects was lighting a cigarette. So tragic that now we have sunk to middle--earth, and we actually watch C.G.I. garbage. (I don't ). This is one of those films where everything fits. The music by Jerry Goldsmith is lush and with great depth. What is it that separates "great directors" from the others? I think it is a single minded-ness. They can see the finished product in there minds...and simply work towards it. That was the view of Hitchcock, and i am sure he is talking for most great directors. Anyway, here is a high class film noir to enjoy.
