1—I would, as a very passionate British film fan, be happy to recommend classic British films (as well as classic European films) or to answer any questions on UK films.
I hope you mean shocking in the good sense, not as the word that comes before bad. LOL.
2—True. I love American film noir as well. But we made some great ones, which tends to be forgotten even by film critics in this country.
3-Joking. I do drool though.
Brighton Rock is a brilliant film but it IS shocking. I did not expect that climax and completely freaked out at that recording. Richard Attenborough started out playing the worst kind of villian and ended up playing Santa Claus. A very great actor. Also, I love the exterior shots of Brighton in the 1940s.
I know most of the great British films. I’ve seen ‘em all. I go to London theatre every year to see some of the most amazing actors in both classical and modern plays.
I’ll forgive you for the Nigella remark. But will I forgive Nigella for losing all that Rubenesque weight that made her so appealing? I think not!!
No, I think Brighton Rock is brilliant. It was just upsetting - as it was intended to be. I love the exterior shots of Brighton and Attenborough gives a deeply unsettling performance. Hard to believe, since I’ve always heard he is a very nice man.
