Another most interesting batch here.
I know my friend Angelo will be having a seizure when he finds out that PAY OR DIE is on the way. He is a huge fan. But Anthony Mann’s THE TALL TARGET is the big one here!
“Pay or Die” is a terrific little film. Actually saw this when it came way back when. “The Tall Target” is another excellent film.
This is an RKO thriller picture. Their films I will nwever want to outgrow from what I have seen.Anti fascist heroes and a rescue with suspense fraught in the very strands of the film. I could watch such films. Thwey are perennial cultural expressions with Robert Ryan and Merle Oberon. I am going to order and see this one, for sure.Classic directing and cinematography.
Studio: RKO RADIO PICTURES
Screen Aspect: 4 X 3 FULL FRAME
Packaging Type: Amaray Case
Synopsis:
Board the Berlin Express and speed into danger, mystery and intrigue! Four postwar heroes – a veritable United Nations from Britain, France, Russia and the U.S. – battle a cadre of diehard Nazis to rescue an anti-fascist German statesman in this tense espionage thriller starring Robert Ryan, Merle Oberon and Paul Lukas. The setting is as riveting as the action: Berlin Express was the first American movie filmed in post-World War II Germany. Director Jacques Tourneur (Cat People, Out of the Past) and cinematographer Lucien Ballard (The Wild Bunch) capture the ruin of a bombed and devastated nation that just a few years earlier threatened to rule the world.
Thanks Edward!
