The gadget is famous. The women are furniture, and a license is not a virtue.

The review

Fort Knox is the prize and the Aston Martin is the memory, and both are beside the point. A service sends a man to stop a gold plot. He is good at it. The film is good at making the skill feel like a personality. Women pass through as names on a joke, one of them painted and dead so the poster has an image. I am not going to inventory the cruelties. The pattern is enough.

A crowd in 1964 and 1965 made this the idea of a sophisticated evening. Sophistication here is a license and a quip. Adults can see the machine and decline the lesson. Do not hand it to a boy as the shape of competence. Competence in this picture is a man the government has told he may use people and then rinse.

Journal

Keep Goldfinger in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 33. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Truth 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.

Consider this

North by Northwest

48 instead of 33

North by Northwest is still a thriller film, and it scores 48 instead of 33. What you gain is stewardship: You can inherit a man who stops being ornamental.

The eight

6
Industry
He does the job the service sends him on, and the job is a killing with a smile.
2
Household
Women are prizes, threats, or bodies. None of them is a household.
1
Piety
Nothing here answers upward. The license replaces a conscience.
6
Courage
He walks into the room where the laser is, and the courage is real and misused.
3
Republic
The crown's permission is not the same as a debt owed to a neighbor.
2
Temperance
The appetite is the drink, the woman, and the gadget, and the film enjoys all three.
4
Truth
A theft of the gold supply is the plot. The film's lie is that the killer is the good time.
2
Stewardship
A boy who learns love from this learns a license, not a vow.

A Daring Daylight Burglary

The roof is the thrill, the capture is the only part I trust.

The review

Frank Mottershaw shot this in Sheffield, and it played in America too. A thief on a roof, a chase, a capture. A teen can watch it. I won't hand it a rank it cannot prove. It was one of the pictures around when Porter made the train film. That is context, not a medal.

The roof is the thrill they sold. The capture is the part I can live with. We can watch the run without pretending a burglary is clever work. When it ends, the sentence in this kitchen is short: he is caught, and the height was the bait.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

The French Connection

45 instead of 33

The French Connection is still a crime film, and it scores 45 instead of 33. What you gain is industry: Two detectives work a heroin case, and the case is the actual job.
