I love this film precisely for location shots like this one. It's my second favorite Kubrick after Paths of Glory.

RIP Mitzi Gaynor, a stellar (as they say in showbiz) triple threat, here with a colleague whom I regard as pure cinema in human form.

Once, at a party, someone mentioned Walt Whitman to Marilyn Monroe, who said, "Oh, I just love his chocolates."

I'm way behind others in that I only recently, finally saw Wake in Fright. It's a tough watch -- traumatizing, some would say -- but masterful, and I can't imagine anyone attempting such a film in today's milieu.

Film-noir heavy Steve Cochran at his house in Benedict Canyon on January 1, 1952. The previous night there has been a drunken party at the house, during which, naked, he clobbered a prizefighter with a baseball bat, resulting in a traumatic brain injury and a lawsuit.
