"In this gorgeous, lyrical novel, the writer Stephen Crane dictates from his death bed the story of a young rent boy and his relationship with an older, married man. An American masterpiece."

"A Soviet film, it came out when the Cold War was going full blast. American films celebrated victory without displaying the true extent of the cruelty of warfare, and the damages it inflicts on our humanity. Of particular technical interest to me was a combination handheld crane shot, which I duplicated in Bound for Glory with a new device called the Steadicam."

A Modern Classic
Come for the classic card game feel; stay for the Decemberists themes. A working knowledge of The Decemberists concept albums The Hazards Of Love (and The Crane Wife if you have the expansion) are not required at all and provide no tactical advantage but you will enjoy the flavor of the tarot-like Illuminaries a bit more if you get the references.

Very different to subsequent adaptations
The tale of Sleepy Hollow is infamous with many versions derived from this short story. However, subsequent adaptations portray protagonist Ichabod Crane as a hero and not a victim of the headless horseman. While he's not a victim in the murder-sense, being driven away from Sleepy Hollow does seem unlike the valiant lawman, as seen in the Tim Burton film.

In this, Crane is a simple teacher with wide-ranging beliefs and clearly a big appetite. Most of the characters are the same but there are no intriguing plots of control over the Hessian headless horseman.

It's a straight forward rural legend about a bloodthirsty war hero who continues to haunt the town. Although even this is questionable as seen in the last part of the story. Nevertheless, it's still a classic and I'm sure many more versions will be created in the future.

A well made film about the actor Bob Crane from a hit 70's TV show. His soaring popularity effects him in many ways, becoming a sex addict and with technology progressing at the time making his own "home" videos and pictures. A little known film with a good cast, how much you like it depends on whether you knew of the actor or TV show. I didn't but still found it interesting as it's based on true events.
