Farewell, My Lovely , 1975

Farewell, My Lovely (1975) directed by Dick Richards is a film adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s 1940 crime novel by the same name. Raymond Chandler wrote many crime novels that were adapted into film noir and neo-noir films, including The Big Sleep (1946.)

Philip Marlowe's about to give up on a completely routine case when he is hired by paroled convict Moose Malloy to find his girlfriend Velma, former seedy nightclub dancer.
Then he finds himself in the wrong place at the right time to get caught up in a murder that leads to a ring of jewel thieves, another murder, a fortune-teller, a couple more murders, and more corruption than your average graveyard.

Marlowe embroiling the hard-boiled gumshoe in a plot which involves blackmail, murder, drugs and double cross.

The femme fatale of this story is Helen Grayle, the wife of a wealthy judge. Grayle, played by white actress Charlotte Rampling,is not the main character of this film but seems to be the key driving force for most of the crime committed in the film.

ΡΕΜΠΕΤΙΚΟ-ΜΠΑΤΗΣ ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΣ

Αγαπητοί φίλοι η συμβολή του ρεμπέτικου ταργουδιού στην ελληνική κοινωνία και κατά επέκταση στον ελληνικό πολιτισμό ήταν κάτι παραπάνω απο σημαντική. Το ρεμπέτικο αυτό το βαθύτατα λαικό ρεύμα δημιούργησε τις βάσεις και τις προυποθέσεις για την μετέπειτα πολιτιστική Άναγέννηση΄' των δεκαετιων του 50 και του 60. Όλοι μας έχουμε βαρεθεί τα αφιερώματα στους ίδιους και στους ίδιους 'Αγίους΄' του ελληνικού τραγουδίου ξεκινάω λοιπόν μια προσπάθεια προβολής και παρουσίασης μερικών λιγότερο εώς παντελώς αγνώστων αλλά σημαντικότατων καλλιτεχνών αυτής της περιόδου οι οποίοι΄υπήρξαν πολύ σημαντικότεροι από άλλους stars....... O Γεώργος Μπάτης ή Τσωρός υπήρξε ένας από τους σημαντικότερους μάγκες και ρεμπέτες του Πειραιά.Γεννημένος στα Μέθανα το 1886 και χωρίς να έχει κανένα οικογενειακό ερέθισμα από μικρός ασχολήθηκε με την μουσική και κυρίως το μπουζούκι.Θεωρείται από τους πρώτους που επέβαλαν το μπουζούκι και στο μουσικό στερέωμα είναι γνωστές οι δηλώσεις του Μάρκου που τον αναφέρει ω...

The Heat of the Night, 1967, crime movie

Norman Jewison’s crime thriller "The Heat of the Night" is an extremely well directed and acted film picked up five Oscars, including best actor for Rod Steiger. The scenes shot on location in Sparta, Illinois. In the small town of Sparta, Tibbs, a black detective, is arrested when a white man is found dead. Ths small town of Mississippi features a police department led by Chief Gillespie (Rod Steiger), a man slow to adapt to the changing times who is clearly outmatched by Tibbs. After Tibbs identity is revealed, the pair act out an odd couple partnership as they work to solve the crime, and in the process, they learn to form a mutual respect for each other. Even if Rod Steiger has never been better as the bigoted police chief you don't feel that he and Poitier are trying to surpass each other and the strength of the script and intrigue only adds to the palpable racial tension in the city. In my opinion the film gives a strong punch to stereotypes and provoc...
