Since I got out of the hospital, I have been watching a lot of movies on TCM. On Friday we started with Motorcycle Day and moved on to Summer of Darkness, which is happening every Friday.

The Wild One (1953)

I have always found The Wild One to be an odd movie. If it had been made a few years later, the score might have used rock'n'roll. Some of the actors seemed to be chewing large chunks of scenery. On the other hand, Brando showed all of his charisma. Lee Marvin was a force of nature.
László Benedek directed.

The Born Losers (1967)

I loved "Billy Jock," the Mad Magazine (July 1974) of Billy Jack. Many years later I saw Billy Jack on television I was not surprised how much it resembled the Mad version.
Yesterday I saw Born Losers, the first Billy Jack movie. The acting was mostly wooden. The leader of the bikers was a good villain. His Number One was played by William Wellman, Jr. There were lots of girls in bikinis. There was lots of violence. I don't think I'll watch it again unless I am very bored.
Directed by TC Frank (Tom Laughlin).

The longest preview of coming attractions I have ever seen. I always thought Dore Schary had a funny name.

They Live by Night (1949)

Great movie. I forgot how many helicopter shots they used. Cathy O'Donnell was moving. We switched back and forth between this and the Giants-Rockies game.
This was the first movie that Nicholas Ray directed.
9:45pm PDT
Looney Tunes: Rhapsody Rabbit (1946)
10 mins|Comedy|TV-PG
Missed it. I am happy that TCM has been showing Warner Brothers cartoons.
10:00pm PDT
