THE LOVED ONE   over-the-top ending That, in fact, is the single characteristic placing this film in the history books as one of the first real anti-war, anti-establishment, anti-bourgeois relics of popular culture just at the cusp of an entirely new epoch

the country was still on overdrive after the assassination of President Kennedy, numb and oblivious as to what was about to happen

i think the humanity bit was Corny, but it made Sloane's character
look all the more dictator worse. ed begley's heart attack best ever on film. you know poor ed's fixing to drop dead but beagley could milk that sucker real good.  those staccato rage rants Sloane was
capable of.  i don't think there were any shareholders as much as
guinea pigs of Sloane's character. the ending was van the man standing
his ground, taking care of business which finally brought a wry smile to the otherwise stone/Sloane face as if to say NOW we're talking   which suddenly breaths new life into his bad ass character in the film's very last frames


the final scene in THE PROWLER where van heflin, now found out,
makes a run by trying to get over that huge desert hill would have been
better in slo - mo after running dead in to his police partner & bitchy wife because of the rocks he placed in the one lane road to keep people out of his hide out....caught, in the jaws of his own vice  stranding him w/
no car causing him to now just like run. only to almost make it over the hill.....to what ? the guy who shot him
was half a mile away. one shot, one kill. nice rolling all the way back down
that damn hill of mushy stuff i'm a van fan for life now pal.

"PATTERNS "
seriously, hyper pissed off guys. noir scenes of interiors of massive 1956 skyscrapers
Everett Sloane has unbelievably, hideously fast, ultra furious dialog w/ screen play by rod
sterling earning him the first of six emmy awards. lauren bacall pops up in an elevator w/ zero lines

All Night Long (1962) - 7/10 - Othello, Jazz style: drummer Patrick McGoohan wants to start his own band, and tries to break up leader Paul Harris and singer Marti Stevens for his own purposes. Compact, claustrophobic little drama that doesn't take its Shakespeare plot the whole way. Jazz fans will get a kick out of the score, not to mention cameos by David Brubeck, Keith Christie, Tubby Hayes and others.

i grew up in a small town that manufactured the film for movie making. the city's leaders made sure at least 2 theaters ( huge majestic suckers ) were not torn down. the strand is now some sort of church. i can remember getting free mummy dust before entering the state theater to see cris lee's mummy routine in 1959.  Dave, can you remember which theater you saw FOD's in ? or any memorable picture ?
i now live in a hick town which tore down all existing theaters. i remember catching " being there " and clearly hearing a murder going on in a slasher movie being shown in theater # 8 next door. were loosing it Dave. wish i was still there watching Steve McQueen, skipping my afternoon classes feet propped up at the huge strand theater in my hometown, lol
