Oh Gloria...

El Dorado(dir. Howard Hawks)
Has its moments. Wanna check out Rio Bravo now.
*** out of ****
Crossfire(dir. Edward Dmytryk)
Becomes kind of preachy when the detective starts talking about hate and why its bad, but I guess you have to expect that for the first Hollywood movie dealing with anti-semitism. Robert Ryan gave the best performance and Gloria Grahame, while gorgeous, just feels out of place in this movie. It started to pick up alot towards the end. The scene where Genny's husband started playing mindgames with Mitch was brilliant. It was quite compelling stuff.
***1/2 out of ****
