Another one I've seen!
#90 I Want to Live! - Susan Hayward's big Oscar moment. That's what had me watching this film, which I've seen a few times. I mean, what a title - it says it all, and activates our curiosity because the emotional melodrama connected with the condemned does really interest us. Behind it all you have a justice system which cruelly twisted a lot of what happened - which can be an argument against capital punishment. I mean, you can't overturn anything once the person is dead. I have I Want to Live on DVD, and really didn't expect it to show up on the film noir countdown, but I think it's cool that it has (yeah, yeah, mostly because it's actually something I've seen.) To me, personally, I think killing is wrong even if it's the state that's mandating it. I simply think killing is wrong full stop - unless it's in self defense.
I've never heard of Brighton Rock, but it sounds really interesting.
Seen : 2/12
Heard of but not seen : 1/12
Never heard of : 9/12
