In the second, on the contrary, the husband did not like his wife very much and walled her up in the wall of his own house. And at the same time he immured his wife’s hated cat.

Before us, one might say, is a tribute to Edgar Allan Poe, two hour-long novellas shot by well-known directors. In my humble opinion, the idea was a success, the films do not compete with each other, everyone tells their own story, Poe’s ideas are implemented with a bang, it was even a little uncomfortable after watching.

First Look – The Truth About What Happened to Mr. Waldemar – by George A. Romero.

“Nobody can wake me up!”

Valdemar is a wealthy old man, bedridden, on the verge of death. His wife Jessica and her lover, the doctor, use hypnosis to force Valdemar to sign and say the things they need, in order to enrich themselves after his death. But it turns out that Valdemar dies at the wrong time, and the fact that he dies while in a state of hypnosis does not bode well for the greedy couple.

We all know about Romero’s great passion for the living ghouls, here, of course, they couldn’t do without them either. For the most part, the “story of Valdemar” passes quite calmly, without unnecessary excitement and abrupt movements, in the middle wheezing and groans of the otherworldly begin, and the ending is completely beautiful, albeit flavored with carrion. The first story cannot be called tense, but it still has its own atmosphere, most of all it takes the ending, and not even a visual embodiment, but rather an idea (for this, thanks, of course, Po), its correct presentation, because if you think about it – this the situation is really dire. I already felt unwell somehow, which means that the effect was achieved.

Second View – Black Cat – by Dario Argento.

“Didn’t anyone do evil only out of love for evil?”

Roderick Asher is a murder photographer. He lives with the airy and creative Annabelle. One day Annabelle brings a black cat into the house, which Usher, for some unknown reason, hated. The family idyll quickly deteriorates, Asher drinks and drinks and goes berserk, the climax comes when he kills Annabelle and walled her up along with a black cat in the wall.

The second short story is a wildly tense spectacle, rather unpleasant, but it was impossible to tear yourself away from the screen. Even more suspense and depressing is the fact that the story tells about an ordinary family, almost no detachment from reality. The personality of the protagonist, that is, Asher, is even more pressing, the impression that he is just slowly going crazy, he does not repent of what he has done, he is trying to dodge and get out of the water. It’s very hard to look at how cats are treated here, but in the credits they assured that not a single animal was physically or mentally injured during the filming – wow, and thanks for that. The atmosphere is very painful – dark, saturated with violence, eerily tense. The ending is good, even if it does not shine with rainbow colors, but it gives a feeling of satisfaction.

“Two Angry Glances” is a completely successful transcription of the immortal works of Edgar Allan Poe on film, not burdensome, not drawn out, interesting and captivating. Only if possible, it is better to watch with a short break between stories, so each will leave its own impression, without overlapping sensations from one film to another. Each short story has the spirit of the filmmaker, but Po was not forgotten there.

The classic Hollywood film by George Roy Hill with its entire existence confirms the axiomatic assertion that the best adventure crime comedies about the thirties were created in the seventies and eighties. It was then that genre diamonds such as the Italian “Bluff”, the Polish “Va-bank” and the American “Scam” appeared. The last of these three, but perhaps the first largest picture deserved recognition and will be discussed.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, as it turned out, did not get lost in the Bolivian open spaces and four years later returned to us with new names, but still familiar faces of Redford (Johnny Hooker) and Newman (Henry Gondorf). Not many of the many creative unions of the director and actors can boast of such a successful doublet. Speaking without frills, George Roy Hill in 69 and 73 created two genre masterpieces, first throwing the heroes of Newman and Redford, romanticized bandits, from the Wild West to South America, and then allowing their equally romanticized swindlers to pull off a brilliant business in America Capone, bootlegging and tommigans.

Stylized under the production of seven acts, a story of revenge and big profit that does not dissonant with the name flies before the viewer for the reference two hours of timekeeping, when two inveterate, but infinitely cute fraudsters join their efforts against the bandit Doyle Lonnegan. The harsh realities of the thirties force our heroes, forgetting about the principle of “eye for an eye”, to take revenge for the death of a common friend in the only possible way – by trying to punish the murderer with a dollar.

What is the secret of the success among critics and the audience’s popularity of this film, which received three most important and four technical Oscars, as well as thirty times hitting its budget, films? Without the slightest efforts and exaggeration, it would have been possible, with the idea to stylize the enumeration of the picture’s advantages, to adjust certain advantages under the name of each part of the film. In giving this thought to future generations, let us dwell on the most important thing, on what makes “Scam” so uniquely special.

Without spreading our thoughts along the tree, we will call the Actors, Script and Atmosphere the three whales of the film. This, in fact, is all. You can finish the review and go home. Nevertheless, those who want to hear the same, but in a slightly more detailed review, can stay.

Together with a pair of damn charming rogue protagonists, playing the blackest soul of all the characters, Robert “Shark Storm” Shaw makes up the main acting trio of “Scam”, an indisputable element of the film’s success. The former set a cunning trap for the latter, the deadly hero of Shaw, step by step, approaches the place of the “hunt.” This, it seems, is serious – there was blood and death – and at the same time, presented in a rather light and carefree manner, the confrontation is precisely the standard prescribed and played out cinematic conflict. And thanks to the talented direction and the work of all professionals without exception (from costume designers and decorators to the author of an unforgettable musical theme), the authentically recreated atmosphere of the thirties becomes the decisive stretch of the road to the audience’s hearts.

But most importantly, thanks to films like “Scam”, such legendary movie stars as Paul Newman and Robert Redford will forever remain in our hearts young, beautiful and insanely talented.
