Thanks for posting. The first 17 seconds show it has good encoding and picture quality. Plus the guitar work in that first 17 seconds is good and intriguing. I’ll watch it tonight.

Never heard of it, so it’ll be a good one to watch. Thanks again.

Scorsese’s real talent is at documentary making

Watching it now. Interesting. Get to a pre-burned Cally.

Excellent film. One of the cable channels here was running a “Sunday Night Noir”, and happened to catch it. Have since watched it a few times.

You may recognize some of the score from the “Beverly Hillbillies” (not the theme song, but the same guitarist as, say, when Ellie May walks onto the scene).

Any way, has many elements that later became standard - especially the quirky protagonist. The scene at the knife shop is brilliant.

Ping! I haven’t seen it; have you?

I generally like Scorsese films. Should be interesting to see who influenced him.
