"Inferno" [Roy Ward Baker] 1953
""Inferno" [1953] starring Robert Ryan and Rhonda Fleming, directed by Roy Ward Baker. This is a color noir, filmed in 3-D, during the short-lived 50‘s commercial 3-D craze. The 3-D‘ness is not obvious except when a few things are thrown toward at the camera the end, which is easily ignored. The setting is the Joshua Tree and mountains nearby.
"The plot concerns a wealthy, somewhat nasty drunken man, left to die in the desert after he broke his leg. How he manages to survive and get out is the basis for the film.
"Baker‘s best remembered film is "A Night to Remember" [1958], the classic Titanic sinking film. He them became a director for Hammer, doing several of their horror films, followed by a great deal of TV directing, the best of those the very well respected series "The Flame Trees of Thika" [1981] with Hayley Mills. It was a PBS favorite some years ago."

"The Dead Don‘t Die" [Jim Jarmusch] 2019
""The Dead Don‘t Die" [2019]
"Directed by Jim Jarmusch, stars Bill Murray and a cast of fine supporting actors and actresses.
"A dead-pan take on the zombie idea in a small town in a rural area of some eastern state.
"Seems to be free on Netflix now. Lots of ‘little‘ humor to see and hear. Delightfully quirky. Why critics didn‘t like it I don‘t know. That‘s why I never heard of it I guess.
"Anyway, I stumbled onto it today. If you haven‘t seen it, give it a watch. I suspect not a film for Susan and Leonie.
"No Bridgeport mills were harmed during the making of this film."
