It occurs to me that in 1947 you have (at least) two significant experiments with extensive use of optical point of view shots in Lady in the Lake and--less famously--the beginning of Dark Passage. I'm wondering if you have found anything about the production history of either of these films--especially as to when in the production process the decision to shoot the films this way was made and how. Were there other studios or films attempting to experiment with this technique around the same time?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30690257.post-12430827046935981422008-12-21T18:26:00.000-08:002008-12-21T18:26:00.000-08:00Hi Chris,I haven't been following your project clo...Hi Chris,<BR/><BR/>I haven't been following your project closely, but at a glance at this list I am surprised not to see Body and Soul or Monsieur Verdoux...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30690257.post-74114387606506595492008-12-01T11:42:00.000-08:002008-12-01T11:42:00.000-08:00I have seen the film...

Obviously, Smash-Up establishes the star image that she will riff on throughout the 50s and 60s.Chris Caglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11896423565458620046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30690257.post-42953888737147558882008-11-30T15:15:00.000-08:002008-11-30T15:15:00.000-08:00Chris, so have you watched Smash-up yet?

Susan H., as you may know, is the "victim" in the wig scene in VOD; in Smash-Up, she's the perp. I love it--she strikes that other woman so viciously in the powder room!Jeff Conwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04360905874981488202noreply@blogger.com
