The swing of things

I'm on a bit of a roll with this here theme of crime in the deep south- gangsters and murderers and such and found (quite worryingly) that I cant get enough of them! The 50's and 60's had a big thing for them which might have something to do with why they all look so lovely and hazy. And those fuzzy sound tracks and dramatic close ups.... brilliant.

Here's the tailer for Terrence Malick's Badlands. Great film and a little more like what I wish Bonnie and Clyde had been.





and Angels with Dirty Faces (great 1938 Boghart and James Cagney film)
