The Blue Gardenia (1953): Anne Baxter a Victim of Noir
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 16, 2019
The Blue Gardenia chooses to establish its characters and allow ample time for the audience to get acquainted with all the players. It’s genuinely a pleasure as we have a number of affable people to grow accustomed to over the course of the story. There’s local journalist Casey Mayo (Ri read more
The Seventh Victim (1943): Lewton’s Economy Rules
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 25, 2019
What a picture for Kim Hunter to have come into her own (and Mark Robson for that matter). The 7th Victim is a chilling gem and the motor to move the story forward is an audacious girl, Mary Gibson (Hunter), who makes a decision to leave her boarding school of stain glass and angelic choirs, to sear read more

The Seventh Victim (1943, Mark Robson)
The Stop Button Posted by on May 17, 2013
Quite surprisingly, The Seventh Victim–in addition to being a disquieting, subtle thriller–is mostly about urban apathy and discontent. Though there aren’t any establishing shots of New York City (or of the small New England town protagonist Kim Hunter comes from), Robson and writ read more

Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 26, 2013
My horror film class did a Val Lewton double feature, and one of the choices was a movie I’d never seen (the first movie was Cat People which I reviewed during my 31 Days of Horror here). The Seventh Victim is a bizarre movie that I’m still not sure I’ve processed fully. On the read more
