May 31: Farewell, My Lovely

Thursday, May 30 @ 9PM: Farewell, My Lovely USA 1975 d. Dick Richards with Robert Mitchum, Charlotte Rampling, John Ireland, Jack O’Halloran, Sylvia Miles and Harry Dean Stanton. Colour. 95 m

“Robert Mitchum always takes getting to know in a role. He comes on too strongly at first too stagey, too droopy an eye, an excessively dangling cigarette. But he settles into his part, his performince drops away and he moves through the picture with force, humor and unexpected humility. Inevitably vou think of Bogart he isn’t Bogart but he is very good.” [Richard Eder]
