When Ratchett is stabbed in his train compartment in the early hours of the morning, Poirot peers into the hallway to see a woman rushing by in a scarlet silk kimono. Over the course of the subsequent investigation, the The Scarlet Kimono kimono remains a persistent mystery. Poirot asks each female witness whether she owns one, and each one The Scarlet Kimono it. When Poirot finally discovers the kimono in his luggage he says, "It is like that. A defiance. Very well, I take it up. The scarlet kimono also serves as a red herring, which is a detail or fact that seems crucial to the mystery but is later revealed to be unimportant, to distract readers and keep them in suspense. He was just dropping off when something again woke him. This time it was as though something heavy had fallen with a thud against the door. He sprang up, opened it and looked out. But to his right, some distance down the corridor, a woman wrapped in a scarlet kimono The Scarlet Kimono retreating from him. At The Scarlet Kimono other end, sitting on his little seat, the conductor was entering up The Scarlet Kimono on large sheets of paper. Everything was deathly quiet.

Title: The Crimson Kimono Classic, hard-to-find Sam Fuller pic is intriguing noir about two detective partners, one caucasian and one Japanese, who try to solve a complicated murder case. Unfortunately, trouble arises when along the way, both of them fall in love with the key witness! When stripper Sugar Torch disturbs a murder in her dressing room she is chased into the street and gunned down by an unknown assailant. Bancroft goes after artist "Chris" who had painted Sugar in full kimono while Kojaku goes after the men who were to be involved in her act. A strange film this one. It opens in the sordid world of striptease, continues with the murder of a young woman and leads straight into a police investigation. This suggested it would be a gritty and tough thriller which at times it is, but at The Scarlet Kimono times it plays up the love triangle aspect and then at others seems interested in just showing us a little bit of Asian-American culture. This individual sections do bump up against one another uncomfortably at times but mostly they sit reasonably well as part of the film. The effect is to produce a really interesting film, partly because the mix is unusual and well delivered. The mystery aspect of the plot keeps the narrative flowing along well enough and engaged me even if the ending was a bit convenient and easy. The love triangle part works better than I expected mainly because it uses it to compliment the male characters rather than being about the love part. This allows the two actors Corbett and Shigeta to deliver solid characters and play off one another really well. The Scarlet Kimono writer Fuller mixes the various aspects really well while also producing a bit of cultural significance in The Scarlet Kimono way that the Asian-American thing is merely a trimming and not the whole show. Overall then a solid film that The Scarlet Kimono mystery, love, grit and conflict into one story. It doesn't flow perfectly but it is engaging for what it does well and not bad for The Scarlet Kimono aspects it does less well. Looking for something to watch?

Na “folha” respectiva disse da minha enorme raiva, já que House of Bamboo (mesmo pensando em Forty Guns) me parece ser o supremo exemplar da utilização do scope por Fuller. Por que, filmando no Japão (a obra foi rodada “on location” em Tóquio e Yokohama, entre Fevereiro e Março de 1955), Fuller tirou o máximo partido da dialéctica vertical-horizontal da arquitectura nipónica: as casas que se estendem em largura e não em altura (essas casas do “olhar do cão” de Ozu) e os enormes templos, a grande estátua do Buda, o Fujyama que domina Tóquio e, por fim, a torre esférica do grande confronto Ryan-Stack.

  • 20 Luc Moullet: 'Sam Fuller: in Marlowe's Footsteps'
    20 Luc Moullet: 'Sam Fuller: In Marlowe's Footsteps' (,Sam Fuller - sur les brisees de Marlowe', Cahiers du Cinema 93, March 1959) Young American film directors have nothing at all to say, and Sam Fuller even less than the others. There is something he wants to do, and he does it naturally and effortlessly. That is not a shallow compliment: we have a strong aversion to would-be philosophers who get into making films in spite of what film is, and who just repeat in cinema the discoveries of the other arts, people who want to express interesting subjects with a certain artistic style. If you have something to say, say it, write it, preach it if you like, but don't come bothering us with it. Such an a priori judgment may seem surprising in an article on a director who admits to having very high ambitions, and who is the complete auteur of almost all his films. But it is precisely those who classify him among the intelligent screenwriters who do not like The Steel Helmet or reject Run of the Arrow on his behalf or, just as possibly, defend it for quite gratuitous reasons. Machiavelli and the cuckoo-clock On coherence. Of fourteen films, Fuller, a former journalist, devotes one to journalism; a former crime reporter, he devotes four to melodramatic thrillers; a former soldier, five to war. His four Westerns are related to the war films, since the perpetual struggle against the elements in the course of which man recognizes his dignity, which is the definition of pioneer life in the last century I is extended into our time only in the life of the soldier: that is why 'civilian life doesn't interest me' (Fixed Bayonets).

  • The Magic Hour: Film at Fin De Siècle
    ALL AS IT HAD BEEN Originally published in somewhat different form in the Village Voice (September 25 and December 11,2001). “He who imagines disasters in some ways desires them,” Theodor Adorno noted a half century ago. Imagining this disaster is what the movies are all about. It was as though a message had bounced back from outer space. The giant dinosaurs, rogue meteors, and implacable insect-aliens who have destroyed movie-set Manhattans over the past few years were now revealed as occult attempts to represent the logic of inevitable catastrophe. The big-budget recreation of Pearl Harbor in particular seemed to have emerged from some parallel time-space continuum to provide an explanation for what was even now occurring.l SO IT SEEMED TO THIS RESIDENT OF LOWER MANHATTAN, SEPTEMBER 12, 2001, the day after the volcano erupted, the asteroid crashed, the Martians landed, the Pacific fleet was destroyed, the big ship went down. Movies offered the only possible analogy for this “live” televised phantasmagoria of urban disaster, mind- boggling cartoon explosions, digicam special effects, and world-obliterating mayhem.
