  13. Nothing wrong with the ending of Gun Crazy! Agreed!!! However, there is that strange scene where he asks Peggy Cummins why she has to kill people, "...Why can't you let them live?" Several commentaters have maintained that this odd, flat, frankly nonsensical little scene must have been imposed by the studio ex post facto, and I'm inclined to agree. I'll have to watch the film again. Kind of off-topic, but I just found out that the 1957 film Night of the Demon, directed by Jacques Tourneur and starring Dana Andrews, also stars Peggy Cummins. I've been on the fence, but now I'm definitely going to get it. I should have taped it when TCM showed it. Oh well. BTW, as you probably already know, the studio forced Tourneur to actually SHOW the demon, which inevitably compromises the film somewhat. Night Of The Demon is a MUST HAVE. There are only a couple of shots of the "studio imposed demon"...it really doesn't have an adverse effect on the film as a whole. It's so much fun to watch Andrews be a skeptic of all things supernatural...while everyone around him (and the audience) knows different. I have a vague meomory of there being another title for Night of the Demon in Europe. Accordig to IMDB the only other title is Curse of the Demon but I vaguely remember something else. Is this just another of my acid flasbacks? Curse of the Demon is the Americanized version (cut scenes) Night of the Demon is the British Original cut (I like it better). Both are available on one current DVD, a great flick

  17. I remember seeing an interview with Robert Mitchum in which he is asked about the film noir movement, and if he was aware of the movement when such films as Out Of The Past were being made, He replied (not word for word), "there was no film noir movement, Cary Grant was the big star and got all the lighting for his films, we just had to make due with what was leftover" Not obscure but a favorite The Asphalt Jungle
