Really funny, excellent writing, and all the characters hit their personal career highs while acting in this movie. Fred Gwynne was AMAZING. Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei also fantastic. This movie is full of memorable sound bites and verbal exchanges. It's one of my all time favorites.

Impact(1949)

Just finished watching this very good film. Brian Donlevy and Ella Raines were excellent as usual. Those two actors are very little spoken of, but they seem to be reliably excellent actors every time I see them. It's the old story of a wife wanting her husband dead for the insurance(with "Double Indemnity"(1944) being the the most famous example of this type of film. Though, "Impact" is not 'film noir' like "Double Indemnity" was).

  When I look at those old films, black&white, silent ones, music back ground, I get caught up with the hair dos the furniture back then, and see how far we have come. I hated the sight of those old heat radiators back then, they would sometimes make noises like the house is haunted!

   Anyways movies are mostly intended to stimulate and entertain your personal preference of such, and we can see it varys a great deal! I like bloody gory,or to be scared when I see a movie, and the best movie for that was the first movie black and white version of "The Thing" with James Arnest, I think he played the thing?

   I usually laugh through the whole movie, especially when the zombies are eating some ones entrails, it looks like a string of winners!  So you can readily see the high quality and standard I set for movies I will go to see! lolo But one thing I hate the most, they keep using the same old actors even when they grow old and ugly to play all the roles, I like to see more new faces and natural talent, of the common man or woman on the street!     Like Trysts

I've seen Howard Hawks' "The Thing", several times just because it's such good film making. Hawks always seems to make everything so natural. He somehow makes his actors seem like they have been where ever the film takes place, for a lot longer than the viewer has been there. The characters are not geniuses, and they are not dumb. The viewer is thrown into that world effortlessly. From "His Girl Friday" to "Rio Bravo", Hawks films are a pleasure to watch.

That was a good movie, even though Tony Curtis is laughable

Clint Eastwood in a musical? I've avoided it, 'cause it just makes no sense to me

I haven't seen "The Quiet Man", but, "Twelve Angry Men(1958) was very good!

Agreed. A very tense film.

Superb film

It's probably just me, but I never understood that film. Why was Alec Guinness so against sabatoge? It seemed like it was more important to him to remain "British", than to fight against oppression?

Never saw either version, but I like Faye Dunaway!

exactly it is,i was touch by tuvia in his anwer to his community strugglers that everyday is also an act of faith that will grow with each day to survive and stay alive, that leads me to post the topic that game practice is also an act of faith  that will keep us fit  to improve on chess. tryst have you not seen yet this movie,i suggest you view it.,when youre not busy at work.

Nice choices! I never saw "Billy Budd". Thanks!

Never heard of it. Thanks!

I really like Burt Lancaster films, but I never heard of this one. Thanks!

I saw the silent "Ben Hur"(1925) on the big screen, with a full orchestra! The chariot race in this version is just as exciting as the 1959 version! I loved "The General"(1926). Thanks for the other recommendations!

Cute film.
