Re: DVD Giveaway: Jules Dassin's THE LAW
I loved the Naked City when I saw it several months ago, but I have to confess that I appear to have completely forgotten almost everything about it since then. I saw it as part of a double-feature with Green For Danger, which I liked less at the time but which I can still remember vividly. How odd.

"Rififi" - Francois Truffaut's favorite noir of all time - If it's good enough for him, well....

Re: DVD Giveaway: Jules Dassin's THE LAW
My favorite Jules Dassin film is Never on Sunday because it represents two of his majors loves: that of Greece, and that of the beautiful Melina Mercouri. What transpires in the film is a 91 minute immersion into the culture of Greece (the arts, the drinks, the women, etc) and never before has a woman portrayed a character so fragile and so steadfast that she could deliver a song like "Ta Paidia Tou Piraia" with such emotional resonance, the likes of which has no parallel.
