The background of Joseph, Albert and Jules makes them hard to cheer for. I can't recommend this film and definitely would steer far, far away from the dreadful 1989 remake with Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn.

I just remember being so surprised to see him in a comedy, in color, and not being Mr. Cool. You know how young teens can be totally intolerant sometimes, besides not having the maturity for some things.<br /><br />I certainly don't know if I would say it was a great movie (your pictures by the way are gorgeous!), but I'm going to give it another try now that I am past my teens (WAY past!)<br /><br />Oh, for some reason, as I read your comments, Quentin Tarantino came to mind and I thought of the "Kill Bill" movies!

I'll be adding this to my watch list.<br /><br />I noticed where you mentioned that Bogie made few color films- I think he only made 4 others besides We're No Angels (The African Queen, The Caine Mutiny, The Barefoot Contessa, and The Left Hand of God).Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970672739061727677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-49370843792624736862011-05-16T16:13:50.529-04:002011-05-16T16:13:50.529-04:00Thomas - Oh I saw that remake referred to online. ...Thomas - Oh I saw that remake referred to online.

And you're right, Aldo Ray does kind of stick out here; he'd probably be more at home in a noir or violent B-movie like Armored Car Robbery. I'll definitely check it out, even if it's not one of Bogie's best.<br /><br />(did he really say corporate masters? don't feed the trolls...)Thomas Pluckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008022962076648740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-48606700958877500662011-05-16T09:21:52.478-04:002011-05-16T09:21:52.478-04:00Jacqueline - thanks for stopping by!

I am very fascinated with the difference in body types from what I see in classic films and what I see today. Especially female torsos. With women wear high-waisted skirts and pants as well as girdles, the hourglass figure and the tiny waist was more prevalent back then. Today, the torso on women seems more square since we don't wear girdles (we wear spankx instead) and we wear our skirts and pants much lower on the hip.Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-28620861396383109282011-05-16T08:08:55.738-04:002011-05-16T08:08:55.738-04:00Interesting observation about Aldo Ray seeming lik...Interesting observation about Aldo Ray seeming like a modern guy.Jacqueline T.
