I was really sorry to miss Only Angels Have Wings on this run! NEXT TIME.
People who aren't me even like it!
(I am still thinking about poor Jones reading a newspaper description of how Public Enemy Number One's Sinister Features clearly mark him for evil and depravity, then staring mournfully at himself in every mirror that he comes across; one's got to imagine Eddie G. Robinson really felt it)
It's like the one and a half movies where Peter Lorre gets to play the romantic lead! (I am permanently biased toward finding Edward G. Robinson adorable because I was introduced to him with Double Indemnity, but I have the same problem with Peter Lorre thanks to Arsenic and Old Lace.) I will keep an eye out for it; I feel like it came around once on TCM or Criterion, but during a stretch of time when it was irrelevant.
and Adventure in Manhattan (the latter of which the Brattle describes as "almost too complicated to explain but involves a self-centered crime reporter (McCrea), a mysterious criminal mastermind, the star of the new play Fury’s Road (Arthur), and the theft of several famous and precious gems"
I can see why you were tempted! I hope it makes itself available to you.
