Rating: 46

46Watch it awake.

The chase is what people remember. The job is keeping a witness the politician wants as a picture.

Pass it on

The review

A detective is assigned to guard a mob witness because a politician wants a headline. The witness is killed. What follows is a hospital and a car chase over the hills of San Francisco, which is the part people kept.

The work is the case. The politician wanted a picture. He still has to find the killer after the picture is ruined. It is a clean, cold cop film. Fine for adults who can tell a chase from a reason. The hills are not the point. The dead witness is.

Journal

Keep Bullitt in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 46. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Anatomy of a Murder

58 instead of 46

Anatomy of a Murder is still a crime film, and it scores 58 instead of 46. What you gain is republic: A jury is the public.

The eight

7
Industry
He is a detective on a protection job, and he stays on it after it fails.
2
Household
No marriage and no child. The night is the case.
3
Piety
Conscience here is professional. He does not like being used.
6
Courage
He keeps after the killer once the witness he was guarding is dead.
5
Republic
A politician wants a headline. The detective still has a job that is not the headline.
5
Temperance
The chase is famous. The film is cooler than the cars it started.
6
Truth
The assignment was a picture. The dead witness makes the picture a lie.
3
Stewardship
What lasted in the culture was the chase, not the case.

46Watch it awake.

The rehearsal is real work, and Berkeley still turns the girls into a pattern.

Pass it on

The review

Start with the sick man, not the pattern. A Broadway director is ill, a chorus girl has to go on, and the show must not close. Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell, Warner Baxter. The rehearsal is the work. This is the picture that announced the Warner chorus line, a hit in the year King Kong led. I believed the rehearsal more than the fame.

Busby Berkeley turns the girls into a pattern. The bodies are the machine. A house can watch it, and you can say that without sneering at the dancers' job. The job is real. The pattern is the sell. Opening night is a grind. A person is not a shape you repeat until the song ends.

San Francisco

58 instead of 46

San Francisco is still a musical film, and it scores 58 instead of 46. What you gain is piety: Tracy's priest wants the saloon king's soul, and he is not played as a joke.

The eight

8
Industry
The rehearsal is the work, and an ill director still has to open the show.
2
Household
No marriage or child is a life here; the company is only a company.
3
Piety
Nobody's conscience stops the night; the order is that the show must not close.
7
Courage
A chorus girl has to go on, and the ill director risks the show that remains.
5
Republic
The company owes the public a show that must not close, which is a crew's debt.
3
Temperance
The pattern trains you to want the next arrangement of the same bodies.
5
Truth
The illness and the girl who goes on are straight; the pattern makes bodies a machine.
4
Stewardship
A show stays open, and the dancers are left arranged as a pattern.
