My Week in Film: April 1 to April 7

Here is what I watched this week.

King Creole (dir. Michael Curtiz, 1958)

My favorite Elvis film to date. [Related post: The Elvis Files – King Creole]

The Naked Spur (dir. Anthony Mann, 1953)

A great Western that features a nearly perfect performance from James Stewart and fantastic direction from Anthony Mann.

A Dangerous Method (dir. David Cronenberg, 2011)

While Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender, and Viggo Mortensen are fantastic in David Cronenberg’s historical drama, something is missing.

Metropolitan (dir. Whit Stillman, 1990)

I watched this to refresh my memory. I can’t wait to see Damsels in Distress.

Gilda (dir. Charles Vidor, 1946)

Apparently there are other actors in Gilda besides Rita Hayworth. Go figure.
