"It’s truly astounding to consider that Orson Welles invented the postmodern-appropriationist-essay film, along with so much else."

"Baldwin is one of my favorite writers and cultural critics. His work always feels both relevant and revelatory. This book-long essay on film and moviegoing is part memoir, part homage to cinema, and also an exploration of the ways corrosive ideas seep into the collective imagination."

I watched this film In honor of ROGER EBERT (who died a few days ago) that I got out of his 'The Great Movies' [1] book. I of course heard of the film, but had no real interest in watching it until I read Roger's essay in his book. Below is what I found on IMDb.

"Roger Ebert had only been a film critic for six months when he saw this film and hailed it as the first masterpiece he had seen on the job."

I'm not ready to call it a masterpiece, but it sure is excellent. A GREAT gangster pic.
