It Always Rains on Sunday 1947

★★★½ Watched 23 Sep 2023

I love when it rains in a film. It just sets such a wonderful mood, especially when mixed with a properly noir-ish plot. Now is this a noir? It certainly has elements of it - particularly a climatic chase through a railyard - but the film concerns itself more with the little dramas of Bethnal Green, an area on the East End of London that found itself "Target Area A" during the Blitz in 1940. You can still see some…
The Tomb of Ligeia 1964

★★★ Watched 23 Sep 2023

I can honestly say that I would simply not be caught in this type of situation. Vincent Price just brings no appeal to the role, looking positively ghastly under heavy makeup and dark shades. That's not Corman's fault, though, as he wanted the younger Richard Chamberlain. The film still benefits from appropriately Gothic location shooting, some of Corman's best directorial effort and a truly macabre story.
