Skyscraper Souls (1932)
Skyscraper....
I absolutely loved every square foot of this movie and want to own a copy of it. It could be remade today and be a huge hit. Maureen O'Sullivan was gorgeous, the dialog was witty, the plot line complex...it had so many modern qualities, I had to rub my eyes to make sure I was watching a 30's film. I give it a thumbs up. Loved the nefarious banker, "Dave", Hedda Hopper as the dilettante wife...loved the long suffering assistant...loved Shep the jilted lover. Loved it all. It was an eerie look into the stock market crash leading up to the great depression, and of the heights and desperation the human soul can reach during trying times. The ending was literally a cliff hanger. Whew - I could not believe it! A Boffo hit! I give it two thumbs up.
He Was Once (1989)
Fantastic!
One of the coolest, craziest things I've ever seen! I loved the concept behind this art film, what a great spoof on "Davy and Goliath". The adults play the kids, the kids play the adults, and "Goliath"? Is played by a footstool decked out in leopard skin and a spiked collar. Beneath all this "tom-foolery" is serious content, however. A great "Indie" piece!
