IMDB Trailer for Little Caesar
Edward G. Robinson didn’t really enjoy playing a gangster and hated the sound of gunfire. That posed problems for director Mervyn LeRoy during the filming of Little Caesar (1931).
“Every time he squeezed the trigger,” LeRoy said, “he would screw up his eyes. This happened take after take.”
“In the end we had to tape up his eyelids to make sure it wouldn’t show.”
—The Warner Brothers, Michael Freeland, St. Martin’s Press, 1983
The Endless Night: A Valentine to Film Noir is an absolutely brilliant fan video using a dizzying array of clips from classic film noir all set to Massive Attack’s “Angel.”
According to her bio on YouTube, “RubyTuesday717″ is 20 years old (!) and her dream job is to be photographer or film critic. We think she has a bright future.
Maybe DVD companies should hire her—this makes us want to buy every single movie featured. There’s a list of the films at the YouTube site in case you have the same urge.
(And Brian and I already own “Angel” by Massive Attack but I bet this sells some songs for them, too.)
