One of my favorite films featuring Gloria Grahame. I think she gives one of her most unique performances here.

Re: The Glass Wall (1953): the hownos/Allaby viewing session
 

So I guess they tried to make Gassman a star in America but it didn't work out

Grahame had four movie releases in 1953, the year after win an Oscar for BS Actress in The Bad and the Beautiful

Douglas Spencer in this one playing a cop. He played the reporter in The Thing From Another World, 1951

I've seen two films from this director, Fear in the Night and The Naked Street.

So like in 3 minutes? Can you or Allaby post when you see Gloria Grahame's name in the credits. I have the movie on my computer and cued to start from that point.

Now.

Another film noir with narration, like last week's movie.

Re: The Glass Wall (1953): the hownos/Allaby viewing session
 

Vittorio Gassman was in 121 feature films. I've only seen 3 of them.

Re: The Glass Wall (1953): the hownos/Allaby viewing session
 

I can't really watch the film and post at the same time on my computer, so I'll probably just read what you guys post later as I'm missing the movie as I type!

Re: The Glass Wall (1953): the hownos/Allaby viewing session
 

The audio and video is better on this one than last week's movie, Canon City.

much better

douglas spencer in another official role

Re: The Glass Wall (1953): the hownos/Allaby viewing session
 

This actor has a nice, expressive face.

He was only 50 when he died. I've seen him in 18 films.

Re: The Glass Wall (1953): the hownos/Allaby viewing session
 

they seemed oblivious to the existence of the concentration camps. which was kind of true in 1945 or so.

Re: The Glass Wall (1953): the hownos/Allaby viewing session
 

Gassman born in 1922 seemed to avoid any war service.
