The Daily Movie Wallpaper
Wednesday, April 14, 2010

This is the type of iconic image of Franco Nero and Enzo G. Castellari’s, High Crime (La polizia incrimina la legge assolve) that I expect to find just as common in poster shops and cult places around the world and populating the homes of film lovers world wide. How this image is not more common I have no idea but glad to offer it up here in all its glory and restored. I can think of few better images of Franco Nero and this incredibly rare one from a Japanese still of the film might just be the best!

Fans of Poliziottesco/Poliziotteschi cinema should keep a watch for Mike Malloy’s documentary that fully explores it inside and out called Eurocrime! The Italian Cop and Gangster Films that Ruled the ’70s (Facebook Fan Page).

James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart in The Roaring Twenties. One of my all-time favorite films and one of
the best from filmmaker Raoul Walsh! For all-time favorite publicity stills, this ranks in my favorites as well.

Note Martin Scorsese’s latest film Shutter Island opens this Friday (official site)!

Over at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin you will find the image from this still on display in their Making Movies (more info) exhibit. Great to see that someone else has this great still also in their collection and are proudly displaying it in their exhibit. Their exhibit is highly recommended and runs through August 1st. Makes me think of one day taking everything from my collection and doing an exhibit.

Keybook stills are tough to come by and this rare one from featuring Jane Greer and Robert Mitchum from one of the all-time best film noirs and one of my own personal favorites is no exception!

Caption:
BMG-88 – CORNERED – Literally and pictorially, faithless Jane Greer finds herself confronted by Private Eye Robert Mitchum, in this tense scene from RKO Radio’s melodrama, “Out of the Past.”
