1- Wild River 1960 : a masterpiece by Elia Kazan,starring Montgomery Clift and Lee Remick
A young field administrator for the TVA comes to rural Tennessee to oversee the building of a dam on the Tennessee River. He encounters opposition from the local people, in particular a farmer who objects to his employment (with pay) of local black laborers. Much of the plot revolves around the eviction of an elderly woman from her home on an island in the River, and the young man's love affair with that woman's widowed granddaughter.(IMDB)
Montgomery Clift is realy eye catching in this movie
8/10
2-Days of Wine And Roses 1962 : directed by Blake Edwards,starring Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick
An alcoholic falls in love with and gets married to a young woman, whom he systematically addicts to booze so they can share his "passion" together.(IMDB)
I liked the portrait of an ill-mannered couple,a weakness cripples and contagious,victimizes the weakest.The ending sequence is one of my favorites.Music is performed by Henri Mancini.
8/10
3-The Spirit of St. Louis 1957 : directed by Billy Wilder
Biography of Charles Lindbergh and his impressive effort to pursue his adventure:New York to Paris ;The first transatlantic solo flight in 1927.
47 yrar old James Stewart portrayed Charles Lindbergh at the age of 25
the movie became a box office flop when originally released.
I think the movie is years ahead of its time.I enjoyed the picture and the concept of the movie.
8/10
