Joan Bennett and Walter PIdgeon in Man Hunt (Fritz Lang, 1941)
Cast: Walter Pidgeon, Joan Bennett, George Sanders, John Carradine, Roddy McDowall, Ludwig Stössel, Heather Thatcher, Frederick Worlock, Roger Imhof. Screenplay: Dudley Nichols, based on a novel by Geoffrey Household. Cinematography: Arthur C. Miller. Art direction: Richard Day, Wiard Ihnen. Film editing: Allen McNeil. Music: Alfred Newman.
Walter Pidgeon spent much of his movie career at MGM, playing prince consort to Greer Garson: He was Mr. Miniver, Mr. Parkington, and M. Curie -- they made nine films together, if you count their cameos as themselves in The Youngest Profession (Edward Buzzell, 1943). So it's interesting to see him on his own in a 20th Century-Fox film, playing an action hero, the big-game hunter Alan Thorndike, who nearly assassinates Hitler, is beaten by the Gestapo, gets pushed off a cliff and survives, escapes to a seaport where he boards a freighter for England, eludes his relentless pursuers, goes to ground in a cave, survives by killing his chief antagonist, and at the film's end parachutes into Germany, presumably to start it all over again. In fact, Pidgeon is a little too starchy for the role, which was better suited to someone like Errol Flynn or Tyrone Power, and he's upstaged (as who wasn't?) by George Sanders as the villain. Joan Bennett gives a nice performance as Jerry Stokes, the cockney "seamstress" (read: prostitute) who helps Thorndike escape. There's an entertaining scene in which Jerry encounters Thorndike's snooty sister-in-law, Lady Riseborough (Heather Thatcher). Roddy McDowall makes his American film debut as the cabin boy Vaner. This was the first of four films Bennett made with Fritz Lang as director, and they remain probably the highlights of her long career. Although Lang's American films never reached the heights of the ones he made in Germany, such as M (1931) and Metropolis (1927), he had a sure hand with the kind of suspense on display in Man Hunt. Dudley Nichols did the screenplay based on Geoffrey Household's novel Rogue Male.

Ok so I'm going to speak vaguely about this. But my brains gonna melt and pour out my ears if I don't talk about it somewhere.
So there's this shitty guy we'll call him Ole Cocaine Eyes
So this shitty guy tried last year to pay me to have sex with him when trying to convince me that he should be allowed to cheat on his wife. I clocked him as a big bag of slime and sort of just moved on and that was that
Well now it's come out that Ole Cocaine Eyes has been just SAing women since 2014.
Like just assaulting a whole community of women. Like he didn't know what hobbies were.
So now I'm like facilitating this support group for women affected by Ole Cocaine Eyes and it just keeps growing daily.
I'm filled with a very motivating rage.
We're going legal against Ole Cocaine Eyes.
I was writing a fiction story and now I'm trying to understand criminal and defamation law.
This is like my third rodeo with this kind of a thing. I really didn't anticipate building this skillset.
Hunting evil men from within the constraints of the law, successfully navigating the legal system. Making killer manhunt playlists.
This is what I'm rocking as I try to understand the Defamation act and look for pro Bono lawyers.
