On this day in 1937, this book was published.
European men of all ages became enthralled with a novel that reconnected them to European myths and literary traditions (e.g., Homer’s Odyssey, Beowulf, Brothers Grimm, Norse mythology, Poetic Edda, Prose Edda).

The Prize (1963): Hitchcockian spy film by Mark Robson, w Paul Newman, Elke Sommer, & Edward G. Robinson. As much as I love PN, he is miscast here as cynical alcoholic Nobel winning writer. ES is sexy as usual. EGR is great in anything he does. Fails on many levels. 3/5

The Public Eye (1992): 40s neo-noir dir Howard Franklin, w Joe Pesci as unscrup tabloid photog (based on "Weegee") drawn into mob war trappings. Barbara Hershey solid as femme fatale. Dominic Chianese vg as mob boss. Unremarkable, but worth for Pesci as lonely schmuck. 3.5/5

Assignment K (1968): 007 spy knockoff w Stephen Boyd, Camilla Sparv, Michael Redgrave, and the always-great Leo McKern. Boyd is valiant, but lacks charm/charisma of Connery. Val Guest’s direction is journeyman, though editing is a bit off, at expense of storyline. 3/5.

Hammerhead (1968): One of worst movies I’ve ever seen. 007 spy thriller knockoff recommended by Tarantino. Lead Vince Edwards has zero charisma. Only good things: the fight scenes; the cute & bubbly Judy Geeson (a Brit version of Goldie Hawn); 60s flower power kitsch. 1/5

@Logicalmeme: 1/5) There are so many layers of pathologies here. The article mentions several other instances of faking ethnicity in academia that has otherwise fallen under the radar screen.

The Sea Chase (1955): WW2 dir by John Farrow. Poor casting (John Wayne, w/o accent, as a German freighter captain? Lana Turner as a German spy?), weak script, & forced, sappy romantic subplot make this one bland. Good depict of leadership/honor. Had potential in better hands. 3/5

Ride The High Country (1962): Rewatched this early Peckinpah western (in beautiful CinemaScope color) w Joel McCrea & Randolph Scott. P’s eternal theme of men past their prime, and sense of honor. Some terrific philosophical lines. 1st prize @ Cannes. 4/5

Dark City (1950): Desp creaky script & pat ending, VG noir w terrific cast: Charlton Heston (film debut) Ed Begley, Jack Webb, Harry Morgan, Lizabeth Scott. Webb is a cut above. Staple noir elements (nightclub singer; underworld; mysterious/mistaken identities; red herrings). 4/5

Alphaville (1965): This ‘sci fi’ by Jean-Luc Godard may work on paper (singularity & dystopian themes) but fails on every lvl. Like a student film, as is most French New Wave. Akim Tamiroff’s brief scenes only worthy thing. This is 4th JLG film I’ve seen; all are unbearable. 2/5
