Text of the page (random words):
es back to haunt him and he soon finds himself returned to the chain gang craving revenge against the man old friend gene lockhart who blackmailed and betrayed him robinson was still under contract at his home studio warner bros in 1939 and made this quick actioner on loan out to mgm given the status of the performer and the studio it s somewhat surprising to see that blackmail only rates 244 votes on imdb and while robinson jolts any film he appears in this is certainly one of his weakest star outings and i spent much of my viewing time wondering if a different and ugh younger taller star may have made for a better film nevertheless at just 81 minutes this moves quickly and travels from location to location with the sort of polish that one expects from mgm even mgm trying their best to do a warner s picture the fire scenes are exciting and have a convincing sense of verisimilitude not too much rear projection the chain gang sequences somewhat less so but only because they were created on the lot rather than in louisiana and because eddie just can t swing a pick axe with the same aplomb with which he brandishes a tommy gun however he does shine throughout the escape sequence particularly when he clings desperately to the axle of a fruit truck as it barrels down a rocky unpaved road it s tense scary stuff in the end blackmail is an only mildly striking conflation of warner bros exposé and metro spectacle albeit with one of the truly great stars light fare from robinson s most prolific period read the biography of edward g robinson i wrote for the film noir foundation s noir city magazine at this link blackmail 1939 starring edward g robinson ruth hussey and gene lockhart directed by h c potter running time 81 minutes availability airs on tcm grade c posted by mark no comments labels grade c edward g robinson mgm warner brothers friday may 24 2013 there s always tomorrow 1956 in douglas sirk s 1956 soaper there s always tomorrow fred macmurray s perfect family learns the hard way that fathers need attention too macmurray plays los angeles toy manufacturer clifford groves father of three and married these twenty years to his high school sweetheart marion joan bennett lovely once again after the disaster of highway dragnet as the movie unfolds we meet a man who is taken utterly for granted by his wife and children the kids treat him as little more than a cash machine without pausing to consider where the money actually comes from and what their father has to put up with to earn it while his wife is so wrapped up in the comings and goings of the kids that she s often too busy or too tired to spend time alone with her spouse the groves seem to be comfortable in their familial rut until clifford chances into a former employee while at a business meeting in palm springs barbara stanwyck plays norma vale once a toy company employee before unrequited love forced her to flee the west coast for manhattan and a wildly successful career as a fashion designer she s been carrying a torch for clifford ever since and the pair spend the balance of their time at the desert resort innocently reminiscing things go wrong when clifford s son vinnie bill reynolds spies the pair having a good time and assumes the worst before long the other groves children are suspicious of their father who moment by moment seems at risk of tipping for his old flame so in the end it is left to stanwyck one of filmdom s greatest martyrs to do the right thing and save the grove family from certain disaster it almost goes without saying that there s always tomorrow props up the postwar notion of the perfect patriarchal family unit and that the dramatic tension of this and countless other films just like it springs from an external threat to the harmony of that unit and while the outcome here is predictable the film is interesting in the sense that it makes only the children aware of the peril to their family the wife and mother carries on blissfully unaware certainly one might suggest that joan bennett s marion couldn t be that naïve but the movie makes no overt suggestion that anyone other than grove children are aware that their father s eyes are wandering in this way the picture utilizes the vagaries of the ersatz affair to focus on the various wrong interpretations of the situation the norma clifford and most importantly the children themselves in this way there s always tomorrow is quite successful in their fourth and final film together stanwyck and macmurray impress though she has the better role and does a little more with it macmurray s chief task is to play a robotic family man there s a great piece of sirkian symbolism for this in the film brought back to human emotion through contact with another woman while stanwyck gets to sacrifice love for likely spinsterhood in an effort to save him in exchange sirk famously gives her the tears through the rainy window treatment while this isn t as soapy and outrageous as some of sirk s technicolor melodramas this one is black and white it instead favors believable scenarios and underplayed performances at 84 minutes it is over much too quickly but it remains a solid entertaining and even thoughtful outing from sirk and company a note about the poster poor joan relegated to a black and white tip in which seems ironic in that it its placement is indicative of her standing not only in this picture but in the business as well in the wake of her 1951 scandal this seems about as much as she could manage set apart looking longingly up at her peers there s always
