  • The File on Thelma Jordon 1950 Full length American film noir movie starring Barbara Stanwyck. Directed by Robert Siodmak (who certainly knew his way around a crime noir). It seems mysterious robberies have been happening at her rich Aunt's estate and young Thelma Jordon seeks the help of the troubled Assistant District Attorney. Of course more crimes and MURDER occur. Something about Thelma... - Broken Trout -

    CAUTION! SPOILER ALERT!. O.K. this IS 'Film Noir' Stanwyck is marvelous, as always. So is Wendell Cory. From my point of view he gave a fine low key performance in which he was in complete control. If I could make any change, it would end with the car crash, making an extremely powerful ending. In the beauty of film making, and superb acting, her decision with the electric cigarette lighter, and the expression on her face tells us all. A decision was made to go on with the story to make sure the audience would better understand, however reading the many comments below I think it added more confusion than clarity. Nevertheless, all in all, this is first class movie making.
    If you watch the movie, and can bring yourself to pause it after the crash. Come back in 10 minutes to watch the finish. See of you agree with me, that the end should have been at the fiery crash. It might leave some questions, but great film making doesn't have to give all the answers. If the film has given us enough information, and this one does, though somewhat confusingly, we, the audience, can fill in the gaps. It's one of the reasons we love talking about the movies we've seen.

Simple days in the 80s and 90s for me- Mother and Dad talk about how wonderful the simplicity was and calling school off at times to pick cotton- Dad sitting be the radio like watching tv- Howdy Doody, Tall Tales of Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill and John Chapman(Johnny Appleseed),etc. maybe nostalgia hit me at birth, but doesn’t SOMEBODY need to pass on these absolute priceless works of history that’ll just be forgotten? I hope all you “kids” out there keep the “old” things alive in your children. CG Pixar movies- blehh! Shirley Temple in The Little Princess- Melody Time, and I grew up with Uncle Remus! Playing in the tape player in our 80s suburban- thank you mom for transferring our records to cassettes, and finally finding the “forbidden”- Song of The South- MY Uncle Remus!

    Enjoyed this one from 1950, thanks for uploading it. Barbara Stanwyck is superb, she has a real presence. Interesting reading of Stanwyck's difficult upbringing, losing her mother aged 4, the father then walking out on the children , brought up by her sister as well as foster parents and then working full time from 14 onwards before becoming a Broadway actress. She had a tough start in life. I prefer these black and white movies from the 30s, 40s and 50s to much of what Hollywood produces today.

    There isn't one actress at this time who can even come close to Barbara Stanwyck or others in her noir. Her grace, style, talent and screen presence are unsurpassed. The classics of the 30s, 40s and 50s leave indelible impressions on our heart. We can watch most of them, over and over! We know them word for word! Actors and actresses from those decades could teach today's "stars" a lot about true film making. Back when Hollywood had decency, there was no need for vulgarity, nudity, graphic violence or sex. It was what the audience DIDN'T SEE, that was so enthralling. "Fade out" were the magic words. You knew what they were about to do, you didn't need a visual aid! Close your eyes. Now, just for fun, try to imagine Barbara Stanwyck in the nude with Wendell Corey in bed together, ready to romp! Kinda difficult, huh? Someday, maybe today's "stars" will realize the collective imagination of the audience goes a lot farther than a cheap nude scene..

    Of course Stanwyck mesmerizes with her characteristic intensity, but one shouldn't overlook all the studio work that makes such a melodrama believable, whether it's Victor Young's quietly persuasive score, one of Wendell Corey's strongest roles, the tight editing that makes the film move right along, or the contributions of all the supporting stars who support the story instead of hogging the limelight. It's a fascinating melodramatic noir!

    Stanwyck did not have Hollywood's idea of the perfect female figure. She was broad-shouldered, long-waisted, with a flat derriere. They balanced her proportions with styles that looked best with a wide shoulder. They gave her wide waistbands to shorten her long torso. And they often gave her a deep peplum or a gathered skirt to balance out the shoulders and give her fullness at the rear. My thanks to Barbra for her figure and to those artful designers. My figure has those same unbalanced proportions. When I wanted to look my best I only had to imitate a "Stanwyck Style"

      Great overview of the way designers dressed Barbara Stanwyck! I love how they styled her differently in Lady Eve as Jean and Eve. I ADORE her, but when I was a young I only knew her from tv like Big Valley and Thornbirds (in which she was brilliant, despite the rather icky plot). Now I’ve seen lots of Stanwyck in pre-code, romances, comedies, noir. She was fantastic. Regardless of their abilities, my mom was always critical of the appearances of actresses 😉-she disapproved of Joan Crawford’s shoulder pads and she said something funny about Stanwyck- that her bust was like two golf balls on cardboard 😂

    • @MrBuddybones
      @MrBuddybones 2 года назад +8

      Actually nominated 4 times. She deserved many more nominations and deserved to win. But she was a rare freelance actress during the studio era. That’s why she never won an Oscar during her career, but the modern members of The Academy felt she deserved an honorary Oscar. If you weren’t under contract to a major studio like Davis at Warner Brothers, Hepburn at RKO, then MGM, etc., you had a terrible disadvantage. Back then the studios owned the movie theaters as well. They were guaranteed distribution because they owned the cinemas. Stanwyck, “Missy,” was one of a kind. She never became a caricature of herself. She was an actress of the first order. She was so versatile, doing drama, Noir, westerns, comedies, historical films. So talented. 🎬❤️

Of the female who is head-strong, with the lead male being a daisy who can't/will not stand up for themselves and thus ends up being the dominant character. One thing about it is, if you want to see a well done movie, Barbara is the go to gal to watch.
