movies recently rented

In Cold Blood (dir. Richard Brooks, 1967). Didn’t grab me; perhaps another time.

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (dir. Stanley Kramer). In 1967 I suppose the subject matter was enough to carry it, but now the script is rather thin.

Quatermass and the Pit (dir. Roy Ward Baker, 1967). Fluff.

Cool Hand Luke (dir. Stuart Rosenberg, 1967). Worth seeing. The famous tagline, when it came, seemed a bit out of place; the warden says it in the next breath after ordering Luke to cease attempting to communicate.

Wait Until Dark (dir. Terence Young, 1967). Highly recommended.

Batman serial (1943). Interesting as an example of the trash they could get away with back then.

Le Samouraï (The Godson) (dir. Jean-Pierre Melville, 1967). Essentially a character portrait, but the character is a black box.

Safety Last (1923) and other short films with Harold Lloyd. Good fun.
