#NowWatching William A. Wellman's BEGGARS OF LIFE (1928)

Again. This time w/ @thomas_gladysz commentary.

Wallace Beery shows up 30 minutes into BEGGARS OF LIFE (1928), a film in which he's given top billing.

His king-of-the-hobos character is so matter of fact in his menace to Louse Brooks' character, it's almost startling.

NowWatching Paul Henreid's A WOMAN'S DEVOTION (1956) w/ Ralph Meeker, Janice Rule on @KinoLorber Blu-ray
Paul Henreid's A WOMAN'S DEVOTION (1956) looks gorgeous in a new 4K scan on @KinoLorber Blu-ray

Shot in widescreen (1.85) and Trucolor, It's the glossiest Republic Pictures release I've seen.

It's also 100% #FilmNoir.

There are many similarities betw A WOMAN'S DEVOTION (1956) + IN A LONELY PLACE (1950): off-screen murder, war veteran suspect, tenacious investigator, supportive-but-questioning woman

LONELY does it better, and Ralph Meeker is no Bogart, but A WOMAN'S DEVOTION is worth a look.
It's time to pull out the big guns.

This sequence from THE SCARECROW (1920) w/ #BusterKeaton is just as inventive, fresh, and funny as it was 100(!) years ago
Physicality is always key to the gags in #BusterKeaton films, but his athleticism is really on display in his early solo shorts.
