I might be shot down for posting about a film, which is now a
no-no, and for quoting a blurb fron the Village Voice, a
publication not appreciated by rara-avians, but here goes:
the NY Film Forum is showing a masterpiece of post-war "brit
noir", IT ALWAYS RAINS ON SUNDAY. Here's the blurb: "A
MASTERPIECE... Highly inventive in its use of flashbacks and
multiple overlapping narratives, and brilliantly acted by
Withers and McCallum... A SPRAWLING, ALTMANESQUE TAPESTRY...
Hamer might have been one of the major figures in modern
British cinema. As things stand, It Always Rains on Sunday is
a major work, badly in need of rediscovery." The
"altmanesque" epithet will tickle a few rara avians' ears...
