OPEN POST: It's 1955 And The Chase Is On!

Saw this '55 Thunderbird the other day, and my gosh it was short (it looked almost child-sized)! Lots of great films in 1955, but one of the weirdest was " The Sea Chase ," starring John Wayne (as a WWII German ship's captain who really doesn't like the nazis too much) and that tramp Lana Turner as a sorta nazi spy who eventually turns out to be a swell egg. It's not a great movie (or even a good movie), and neither star bothers attempting a German accent, but inexplicably it was a massive hit.

Hissss!   I've always had a special place in my chilled heart for film-noir (and for  John Garfield , the ultimate dumb-luck hunk). And yet it's not just the skewed camera angles, concealing shadows, tempting femme fatales or nefarious storylines that have pulled me in. The music adds to the fun, and most of it makes for great listening (even out of context). Take Elmer Bernstein's landmark, daddy-o jazz score for 1955's "Man With The Golden Arm, " which is both rhythmic and menacing, a stunning innovation...
