Luise Rainer, Overlooked Movies, Spencer Tracy

BIG CITY stars Spencer Tracy as independent cabbie Joe Benton and Luise Rainer as his Russian born wife, Anna. They have loving relationship and constantly tease each other. She’s only been in the country a few years and looks forward to the three year period(coming up in six weeks) where she can become a citizen. Her brother Paul also drives for Independent Cabs.

Independent is in a cab war with Comet Cabs and it’s starting to escalate. Joe avoids trouble neatly, but others don’t. It’s all being orchestrated by a hood named Beecher(William Demarest) and when the Comet owner decides he’s had enough, the hood amps it up, though politely exiting to avoid suspicion. Beecher plants a bomb in Comet and plans to put the blame on Anna’s brother Paul, known to have secretly taken a job at Comet to spy on them because of his inside man, Buddy, at Independent.

The night its to go off, there’s a party at the Bentons. It’s Anna’s birthday and she reveals to Joe that she’s pregnant. Happy everybody. Paul goes off to his job at Comet and forgets his raincoat(it’s raining heavily). Anna packs it and a sweater in a box to send to him. Buddy volunteers to deliver it.

Exactly what Beecher needs after getting over the anger of seeing Buddy there and learns why. When the bomb goes off, Paul has just arrives and staggers out of the smoke to be shot to death by the night watchman. A very young Paul Fix in an uncredited role is the watchman. I remember him mainly for his role as Micah Torrance some twenty years later on The Rifleman.

Beecher pushes for Anna to get the blame for the bomb. Why put a raincoat in a box? He also wants the forty drivers of Independent arrested and charged as well. How could a mere woman do all that by herself? The Mayor and the DA don’t want that and when it’s learned she’s still six weeks away from being a citizen, they decide to deport her to avoid a lot of trouble.

At Paul’s funeral, they await it’s end to arrest her and slip her onto a ship. She escapes and Joe and the other drivers vow to hide her, moving constantly, until they can find proof she had nothing to do with the bomb. The police are putting pressure on the Independent drivers, harassing them at every turn, arresting them on a whim. Joe gets grabbed and they make like they found his wife, hoping he’ll give something away.

Anna sees what it’s doing to the wives of the drivers and slips away to surrender to the Mayor.

Now the race is really on and when Joe finally gets his proof, it’s nearly to late. The ship sails in an hour and the Mayor is being hard to find. They learn he’s at some sort of awards dinner at Jack Dempsey’s restaurant. They burst in, dragging Buddy into the middle of the celebration. There. he gives an impassioned speech about stopping the ship.

I knew something was up as the camera panned over the crowd, all large, tough looking men. They all rush out and pile into Independent cabs to flash through the city at eighty, ninety miles an hour.

Here’s where it gets fun.

Unaware of who’s in the cabs, Comet drivers send out a call and the entire fleet flies after them, all arriving at the docks in the nick of time. Anna has gone into labor and a doctor on board the ship is called, an ambulance arrives, and Joe stares worriedly into the back as the free-for-all breaks out between the two cab companies. The police would take to long, so those large tough men jump in.

Didn’t have any idea who most of them were until I checked the credits on IMDb. I did know Jack Dempsey and Jim Thorpe. Man Mountain Dean got screen credit. A professional wrestler, he was on crutches in the film, but that didn’t stop him from taking care of a lot of the Comet drivers. He had lied about his age and fought in WWI at fourteen(a very large man even then), also served in WWII and then majored in journalism in college after that. Obviously no dummy. Others in the film: James J. Jeffries, heavyweight boxing champ, 1899-1905, Max “Slapsie Maxie” Rosenbloom, boxer, Rex “Snowy” Baker, Australian athlete and boxer, Bull Montana, managed by Douglas Fairbanks, and Cotton Warburton, college All-American quarterback who became a film editor and won an Oscar for work on Mary Poppins. Many more, boxers, early NFL players, Olympians, all playing themselves. One thing that surprised, maybe it shouldn’t, were two black boxers(and don’t ask me their names, my knowledge only goes so far) that got in some good licks in the fight and weren’t typical of black roles of the period(at least in too many “white” films).

Of course, as these things always go, things end well. As they movie ends, the baby, a boy, ias being christened in Church, and judging by the role call, he’ll have the longest name in history. All forty Independent drivers first names are being called.

Guinn ‘Big Boy’ Williams, known for a lot of westerns during the period, has a fairly meaty role as Joe’s best friend, Danny Devlin. One amusing scene with him happened when he picked up a quart of milk for Anna and when the cops, looking for her braced him, swore it was for himself and chokes the whole quart down in one shot.

For more overlooked films, the place to check in is over at Sweet Freedom, Todd's Mason's corner of the internet.

New In The House


1: The Twenty Year Death(ARC) – Ariel S. Winter: the novel written as three crime novels over a twenty year period, each written in the style of a major author of the period the novel is set. Comes August 7th from Hard Case Crime. In 1931, a French police inspector gets caught up in an investigation of a man knifed to death in the streets of a small town. He’s identified as a man sentenced to life in the prison on the outskirts of the town. His daughter, married to a much older man, an American author working on his new book, lives in the town. The second tale has a private eye in 1941 Southern California hired to babysit the French actress of a film studio’s latest project. She’s worried about a strange man following her and her alcoholic husband, a down and out writer living off her film earnings, is no help. When a starlet on the picture is brutally murdered, there may be more to her story than believed. The third book is set in 1951 and the author takes center stage. Drunk and broke, his French wife in a private sanitarium, he’s in Maryland for the reading of his first ex-wife’s will. His estranged son is on hand, his current girl friend, and a mobster are there as well.

This was a good one.

2: Sentinel(ARC) – Matthew Dunn: the second book to feature MI5 agent Will Cochrane. He’s sent in to find an undercover CIA agent that got out a cryptic message, “He has betrayed us and wants to go to war,” and hasn’t been heard from since. Cochrane infiltrates a sub base on high alert to find the man in his quarters dying, stabbed several times. His last words are “Only Sentinel can sop him!” Working on this one now.

3: Dancing Bear – James Crumley: the second in the Milo Milodragovitch PI series.

and the ebook:

4:Omega Blue(review copy) – Mel Odom; a future not to far off, and maybe what’s coming. A bankrupt country. Slade Wilson heads a team for the FBI that takes on the tough crimes in this bleak future world. He’a after organ jackals that harvest expensive, to the prospective buyers, orgnas by whatever means available. Working on this one as well.

Skin – Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins

Max Allan Collins, Mickey Spillane, Mike Hammer

I’ve been reading those collaborations since Mr. Collins has been finishing them. Four Hammer novels to date, a couple of others, and a few short stories. Such as this one.

Set near the end of his career, Mike finds a pile of human remains and a hand by the side of the road returning from a conference in upstate New York. Pat Chambers was following behind in another car and stops to help.

Analysis shows the hand doesn’t go with the pile of meat: the hand, male, the body, female.

Even though it’s not a case, Mike is never one to leave something he starts unfinished. Naturally.

This compact story has it all. A young woman reporter who mentions an earlier case of fresh bodies being dug up at the cemetery, all women, said reporter and cameraman disappearing after setting up a meeting with Mike, and Mike delivering in his own inimitable style.

Collins does an excellent job of melding his style with Spillane’s in these collaborations. I have a fine time with every appearance of a new Spillane work. I’m unabashedly a fan and have been for most of my life. Never understood the criticisms of his work. What do I know? I’m just one of those who keep buying new works from the master. Have never been disappointed.

Spillane had it right. In this clip from a show he did with Dick Cavett, along with Evan Hunter, Robert B. Parker, and Sister Carol Anne O’Marie, writers all, he points out that it’s the fans that matter, not the critics:

Man, I would like to have seen that whole show.

Worth reading if you're a Spillane fan.

FFB: Mirror Friend, Mirror Foe – George Takei & Robert Asprin

Forgotten Books, George Takei, Robert Asprin, Science Fiction

MIRROR FRIEND, MIRROR FOE came out in 1979. At StellarCon in Greensboro, N.C. that year, I met both authors, though I’m not sure they were promoting this one as the first Trek movie hadn’t been out long and I never actually saw them together the weekend. Asprin was holding court in a lounge the first time I saw him and every other time he was addressing large audiences, telling Isaac Asimov anecdotes and speaking on his relationship with Gordon Dickson, another guest at the Con, how they were drinking buddies for a year before he even knew he was a writer. Asprin was still in business at the time.

The story here is of a Japanese named Hosato(just one of three separate identities he maintained), a saboteur and a duelist, part of his family’s business going back seven hundred years.

He was on Gunbecker’s Planet to sabotage a business. Ravensteel had hired him to hit McCrae Enterprises. Both manufactured robots and controlled ninety percent of the market. Once one company, after the partners had had a falling out, it split into two companies and Ravensteel wanted the opposition put out of business. He got a flat fee for going in and a matching fee for every moth thwey were out of business up to a maximum of one hundred thousand credits.

His cover identity was as Hayama, a fencing instructor for James, the fifteen year old son of one of McCrae’s executives. The boy is a bit spoiled not interested, “Let security take care of it,” is a standard answer to almost everything. The security chief, a young woman named Sasha, is suspicious of him.

James’ father has stalled in his rise and is looking for a way to move up, planning a series of security robots. Told to drop it, not possible, he goes ahead anyway. Not possible for them to work security as they follow Asimov’s Laws of Robotics(they’re mentioned), he makes a fatal mistake in his programming and suddenly the robots are on a killing rampage. Anything human.

Now it’s just Hosato, Sasha, and the boy James to stop them before they can escape the planet.

The best I remember, this was supposed to be a series. The ending is certainly open for it. But no other volumes appeared. Maybe it didn’t sell enough. Certainly a fast moving readable title. Oh, and the character on the cover looks suspiciously familiar, eh?

In My Teenage Years: The Music

/youth, British Invasion, In My Childhood

The use of The Seeds Pushing Too Hard in a shoe commercial got me to thinking about my teenage years and the music I listened to back then. I was into the Beach Boys, the whole surf music music thing early. But it was when The Beatles his this shore, followed shortly by the whole British invasion, that my interest in rock music was really cranked up. The old memory is iffy these days, that’s a long time ago, but these were favorites back then. Oh, I listened and loved The Beatles, The Stones, and the Who, as well as other of the successful bands. These are bands largely forgotten, well mostly, these days as members achieved success in other bands or solo work.

This was my first brush with Ted Nugent. Because of the nature of this song’s lyrics, Brother Ted is questioned often about it. Or used to be. His strong anti-drug stance is well known and these lyrics are, frankly, at least that’s how I’ve always seen them, references to an acid trip. His reply has always been that he wrote the music, the singer the lyrics. It’s a good song nonetheless.

Canned Heat was another favorite. The clip here is from the film WOODSTOCK, an event that I would loved to have attended. I could not get anyone to go with me and not sure if I would have if someone had agreed. The film played the whole summer in a local multiplex theater and I must have seen it at least three times.

The Byrds had revolving membership. but were an influential band of the period. One member, David Crosby, went on to other successes.

The Yardbirds at various times had Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page on lead guitar. There may have been a bit of an overlap, not sure, but Page was the last one and when he was forming his seminal band, was thinking of The New yardbirds as a name until Keith Moon gave him Led Zeppelin.

Cream was maybe the first supergroup, lasting only a couple of years. Still influential. With members Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and of course Eric Clapton.

The Turtles were a particular favorite. Mark Volman and howard Kaylan founded the band. When it folded in the late sixties, the two found that, by the terms of their contract, they didn’t own the name or their own names for that matter, nor the catalog. They joined Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention and became Flo and Eddie, releasing nine albums of their own. After fifteen years of litigation, they regained the Turtles name, the catalog, and their own names.

and this was my favorite of the non-big three bands of that period. Mainly for this song. This is a truncated version. On the vinyl LP, it took up the whole of side two, twenty-six minutes and change I believe.

There were so many more: The Kinks, The Zombies, Paul Revere and The Raiders, Sam The Sham and The Pharoahs, Gerry and The Pacemakers, The Dave Clark Five. I could go on and on and link to a hundred videos. Too long and boring likely. No one would watch them all, maybe not these I have links to, but some idea of what I enjoyed as puberty struck and I was growing up.

Talulla Rising – Glen Duncan

Glen Duncan, horror

Talulla Demetriou is a new mother and she’s mad. In this follow-up to THE LAST WEREWOLF, she thought she’d planned for everything, but the vampires, led by Jacquelline, stormed in just moments after the birth of her son, grabbed him, and fled. She wasn’t there for the twin’s birth, a daughter.

The vampire messiah, Remshi, the oldest living vampire, was returning and the little werewolf was to be a sacrifice so Jacqueiline could marry Remshi and be the queen of vampires.

Was Remshi even real or just an old myth? Most vampires believed the later. Legend said he had powers other vampires didn’t and could bestow them. Like being able to walk safely in daylight. Over the course of a very long life, these powers had developed. Most vampires rarely lasted more than a thousand years. They just grew bored with it all. Most thought it was just old tales. But there was a cult of vampires, led by Jacquelline, that believed.

Talulla wanted her son back and would go to any lengths to find and rescue him.

TALULLA RISING is her story. A newly minted werewolf, the first in hundreds of years, we see her development, and the hell she goes through as she looks for her son. Told in first person, this and the first are the only novels, that I’ve read anyway, that get inside the mind and soul of a werewolf, the blood-lust, the feeding, the sexual reactions.

I liked this one and was happy to learn that a third one is on the way.

Overlooked Movies: A Mummy Double Feature

Christopher Lee, Overlooked Movies, Peter Cushing

Hammer Films in the mid-fifties made a deal with Universal International to do remakes of some of their horror icons. The movies they made as well as the early ones in the old early days of movies wouldn’t even get a sniff these days from the kids. They love the slasher movies, a lot of blood, or the modern day Mummy franchise with their special effects. But these films were so much fun when I was a young lad. They didn’t scare me of course, but I loved them nonetheless. I reported on the Universal franchise last summer.

THE MUMMY was made in 1959 and was based in part on the original mummy and The Mummy’s Hand. It starred Peter Cushing as Archaeologist John Banning who with his father Stephen(Felix Aylmer) and his uncle, Joseph Wemple(Raymond Huntley), the character name a nod to one in the first Universal film. They find the tomb of Princess Ananka, who disappeared while on a pilgrimage. You know how these things go: a curse on those who disturb the Princess’s rest. The mummy is Kharis(Christopher Lee), the Princess’s lover and with the help of Mehemet Bey(George Pastell) is brought to life bu the Sacred Words of Life(no tanna leaves in these films). And John Banning’s wife, Isobel(Yvonne Furneaux), is the spitting image of Princess Ananka.

THE CURSE OF THE MUMMY’S TOMB from 1964 is a different mummy, different characters, and different motivations for all. In thid one, three archaeologists, Professor Eugene Dubois, Sir Giles Dalrymple, and John Bray find the tomb of Ra and loot it. The man who financed the expedition, Fred Clark, is a P.T. Barnum type and changes plans. No stuffy museum for this find. He intends to tour the world with a circus-like atmosphere. The female lead in this one is Jeanne Roland as Annette Dubois, daughter of the Professor, and the intended of Bray, though they hadn’t discussed it.

Before they can even get out of Egypt, the Professor is murdered by a band of outlaws, who take his left hand. On the boat to England, one of them is attacked. In England, Clark is planning his show when the murders start. One by one, everyone who went into the tomb is being killed.

George Pastell is on hand again, this time as Hashmi Bey, the likely suspect behind the mummy attacks. There’s also a mysterious man, Adam Beauchamp, who begins romancing Annette. He has some power as she’s easily won over. Or just awfully fickle.

Didn’t like this one as well as the first, though there was a nice twist at the end.

As always On Tuesdays, go toTodd Mason over at his blog, SWEET FREEDOM, for the latest in films and related matters.

New In The House


1: Dirty Snow – Georges Simenon: The tale of Frank Friedmaier, a nineteen year old in a country under occupation. His mother’s whore house caters to the occupiers and Frank is restless. He’s a pimp, a thug, a petty thief, and he’s just killed his first man.

2: Three Bedrooms In Manhattan – Georges Simenon: an actor at loose ends, a woman no less lonely, meet.

3: Scarecrow Returns – Matthew Reilly: I’m not sure what it is about Reilly. You either hate him or love him, not much in between. I fall down on the loving his work side, but I’ve got a friend with similar reading tastes that I can’t interest. She thinks he’s a terrible writer. His books are action thrill rides from beginning to end. Shane Schofield, code name Scarecrow, is out to stop a group of -terrorists?- called The Army of Thieves, from setting off a device at the top of the world that will set the atmosphere on fire, courtesy of a gas they’ve been sending out and letting the jet stream carry around the upper half of the world. His small group of marines and a handful of civilians are the only ones close enough to get there in time. You see, they only have five hurs to get it stopped. Seven against an army.

and the ebook:

4: The Road To Hell – Paul Levine; four stories, all with hell in the title. I’ve read the first three, all good, and the fourth is a long piece featuring his characters Solomon and Lord from the novel series.
