“The Pawnbroker”
Excellent movie! So powerful it made him press his hand into a note spike. Watched it again not long ago.
As good as THE JUGGLER with Kirk Douglas.
No doubt it is an excellent film, great script, great actors, great acting, and really gritty NYC in the early 60s. But wow is it depressing. I had to stop last night 20 minutes from the end (I often take two or three nights to watch a film).
Thanks for the tip to The Juggler. I haven’t seen that. I watched Kirk Douglas in “Ace in the Hole” (1951) a few months back. Great film, too
I couldn’t find “The Juggler” on any streaming service except YouTube. Our local library doesn’t have it. So I bought a copy on Amazon for $18. I rip the movies and put them on my home video serve so I always have it. The libraries of older films at Amazon Prime and Netflix have a terrible habit of shrinking quickly. So many films in my queue at Netflix are no longer available.
