Classic Hollywood movies have a special charm for me. The acting, the actors, and the craftsmanship are simply from another world. After recently watching Vertigo again, I started looking for more material. I found these in Darmstadt (Shop: Come Back).
What I definitely want to take a closer look at are the old detective movies, where, in a slightly clichéd way, a private detective is hired by a beautiful woman and his life changes abruptly as he gets pulled into a whirlwind of wild events. It's a somewhat distorted idea, but I know that several such films exist, especially in the noir-crime genre. As a child, I watched these kinds of films often, but of course, I didn't note down the actors' names or even the titles because I was simply too fascinated.
Sometimes I wish films would still fascinate me like that today, but they just don't. Movie theaters have become places for mass processing of viewers, lacking charm and spirit. Going to the cinema has lost its sense of adventure for me and has become a triviality, which of course is also due to the films that just don't evoke the same excitement anymore.
Maybe you've heard of Columbo, Sherlock Holmes or Miss Marbles but what about Charlie Chan? Found this gem in a local store. Charlie Chan is the original of Sidney Wang from Murder by Death, played by Peter Sellers. Can't wait to watch this!
