Thanks again for a wonderful evening. ...Hi Raquel,<br /><br />Thanks again for a wonderful evening. I wish I had seen "The Arrangement" before I gave that lecture nearly two years ago. Movies like this one and "America, America" were very personal to his own story, but not necessarily as good as some of the ones he is more well-known for. I really enjoyed Kirk Douglas in the movie, as well as the camera visuals! I hope we can still check out "Gentleman's Agreement". Let's make sure we don't sit anywhere near that weird guy who's always there. LOL!<br /><br />KevinUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090508239022622036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-26655794000076786442009-08-19T20:48:43.567-04:002009-08-19T20:48:43.567-04:00It has been years since I have seen The Arrangemen...It has been years since I have seen The Arrangement, although your post really makes me want to see it again. You don't hear quite as much about it as Kazan's other films, but I do remember enjoying it a lot.Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-22420520731219158262009-08-19T15:59:56.825-04:002009-08-19T15:59:56.825-04:00I have never seen this Kazan picture and I don'...I have never seen this Kazan picture and I don't really hear this title brought up that often. The way you describe the film it sounds quite interesting. And Kirk Douglas - of course I have to see it!Robby Cresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535820211830339224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-17020181161022908542009-08-19T10:39:25.826-04:002009-08-19T10:39:25.826-04:00i saw the arrangement only once about 12 years ago...i saw the arrangement only once about 12 years ago and i was severely disappointed. i should give it another viewing one of these days though because i think i would have a much better understanding of what kazan was trying to do with it. part of it is that i generally do not enjoy 60's head-trippy type films anyway.<br />you describing that print quality reminds me of when i saw psycho in the theater once. terrible print, bad sound, scratches, skips, blips etc etc etc and believe it or not the film actually broke right as 'mothers' knife was just about to take the first plunge into janet leigh in the shower!! i kid you not, it seemed like it was almost planned it was so perfect!Artman2112https://www.blogger.com/profile/03062864368596074661noreply@blogger.com
