This version is especially bad. The color/tone is all over the place. They don't even bother with colorizing most of the backgrounds. The audio sync is terrible. Ugh!

Another Wilder B/W gem is The Fortune Cookie. Especially notable for the first pairing of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. Matthau won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this film as "Whiplash" Willie Gingrich.

It’s one of my favorite movies but then my family identifies with many of of the main character’s challenges so it is fun to see him conquer some of the hardest things. The line I quoted is a pretty harsh one but at times in my life I have thought it as self preservation / defense from family members. That is so fun that you remembered the line!😁💗

My father was the engineering officer on LST-938, serving 1944-46. They had 2x diesel 900 hp power plants designed from locomotive engines. My Dad loved this film.

Horseman, Pass By by Larry McMurtry is equally amazing. Different, understandably, but both the book and the movie are sensational and worth reading or watching. Both.

I've long wanted to either teach or take a class (I'm thinking community college level) I'd call "Book vs Movie", where you read the book, watch the movie, then discuss.
