i had seen this before but not in such good condition. the filmstruck restoration is not perfect, you can spot scratches in the darkest scenes, but it’s fun and funny and a lot of great dialogue—oh yes a good crime story too but the highlight is really the humor—not just their lines but it’s sometimes unspoken, like the faces they make to each other. these people were hollywood stars, and for good reason. |
Love that line "They say you were shot 5 times in the tabloids" "That's not true he didn't come anywhere near my tabloids" or something to that effect. Remember enjoying that film a lot when I watched it. Should give it another go.
So for film night on Sunday we watched Roman Holiday. Nah. So, so overrated. And this is coming from someone who loves William Wyler films.
