#They Made Me a Criminal

[boxcarwild]

They Made Me a Fugitive (also known as They Made Me a Criminal; U.S. title: I Became a Criminal) is a 1947 British film noir directed by Alberto Cavalcanti and starring Sally Gray and Trevor Howard. It was written by Noel Langley, based on the 1941 Jackson Budd novel A Convict Has Escaped. Cinematography was by Otto Heller.

“I loved They Made Me a Fugitive," says director Wes Anderson. "The grittiness and the style and the great, great dialogue. It’s very good, and very hard. The violence of the language is much more blunt than you’d ever expect. Trevor Howard is great".

"Another thing that intrigued me about They Made Me a Fugitive was that it always seemed like it was going to veer into pure expressionism," says Anderson. "That expressionist current of feeling combines with the location shooting and the type of story being told, the rawness of it all, to give the movie a documentary-ish flavor. It’s a strange combination. And the dialogue is so graphic and blunt. It’s not just hard-boiled, it’s kind of funny, and I think they meant it to be?”

JULIE & JIMMY

The masterful cinematographer, James “Jimmy” Wong Howe was born in China on August 28, 1899. His collaborations with Julie were on a total of eight films. The photo above is from their first, THEY MADE ME A CRIMINAL with Jimmy leaning over Julie and director, Busby Berkeley watching the action through the camera’s viewfinder.

The other boxing film they worked on was BODY AND SOUL shown above.

Jimmy had a restaurant and here Claude Rains and Julie get kitchen privileges. Then they reap the rewards!

Producer Bob Roberts, Julie, director, John Berry chat during the making of the 1951 film, HE RAN ALL THE WAY.

The Garfields catch a bite with Howe. They seem riveted by whatever Jimmy is telling them.

The cinematographer was a true artist and here he gives attention to the detail of Julie’s makeup for BODY AND SOUL.

Cast and crew share a laugh behind the scenes of BODY AND SOUL. Costar Lilli Palmer is pictured right of Julie and Jimmy is to the right of Ms. Palmer behind the couch.

In interviews, Jimmy often told about one of the methods he used to get inside the ring with the fighters on BODY AND SOUL. He was a human camera dolly having crew members push him around while he used a hand held camera WEARING ROLLER SKATES! Here’s Jimmy in action catching the action.

Here’s a great video about Howe working on his craft. Many of Julie’s films are featured.

James Wong Howe won Oscars for his work on THE ROSE TATOO and HUD and was a nominee eight times. He was the cinematographer for these John Garfield films:

Make Me Choose: @ladyylesbian asked Emily Prentiss or Jennifer Jareau

[theunholyvirginemilyprentiss]

Still can’t get over the fact that Emily put her whole Prentussy into suppressing her feelings for JJ for nearly two decades just for Miss Jennifer ‘it gives me you’ Jareau to undo it all in 4 words. I am scratching and clawing at my enclosure, PLEASE let Jemily be canon.

nsfw.

a/n: someone said that they needed to see the imprint of spencer's teeth in their skin and that got the cog wheels in my brain turning!

just thinking about rabid and needy spencer that swears up and down that he doesn't have a thing for marking you, but his hands are always gripping and mean, and possessive.

large lithe hands dig into your hips, holding you against his pelvis so that he can rut into you pathetically. each time he does it sends a shock up your spine, especially when the tip of his cock brushes up against your g-spot.

spencer leans over you, whining and whimpering into your ear. he says the nastiest things, but god does he love to beg. he knows that begging will get him exactly what he wants.

"please let me mark you. please, please, please..." he places sloppy, wet uncoordinated kisses on the spot between your shoulder and your neck.

his wet lips send a shiver down your spine and you can barely think and your head scrambled, but you somehow found it within yourself say yes. "you can - fuck you can do whatever you want."

you had no idea whether the sound that came out of spencer was either a purr or a mewl, because the noise that left him wasn't human like.

you felt his teeth sink into your skin, the dull sharpness of them dragging a deep groan out of you. it hurt a bit yes, but the feeling of it drove you mad.

he littered them all around your shoulders and your back, even going as far as nipping the soft flesh of your jaw.

"thank you... thank you." he murmured, licking over and placing kisses on the spots that he had bitten.
