Film noirs when they cast men who were the pretty boys of the 1930s: what if we fuck him up
#cherry says#lady in the lake is not a good movie nor do i think the pov perspective contributes well to it in general#considering a lot of the acting is not very good and i think in another film it wouldve pulled off better#especially since the pov perspective is already a challenge since it questions the general connection#between audience and the story but i do think it fits for a phillip marlowe movie since many of the novels are in his pov#ANYWAYS i confused him and robert taylor robert taylor was the creepo robert MONTGOMERY however just faded away#even with the use of noir unlike another 30s actor who was in film noirs#i think bc in general dick Powell wasnt seen as the pretty boy in the 30s his face is more like average mf on the street#who happens to have a slight twinkle of the eye and a good smile for musicals#but by 1944 his face was looking more gritty that noirs loved or as Mitchum said in 1971 France#that particular time they werent exactly looking for pretty leading men#anyways their attempts to make Robert Taylor himself into noirs do NOT work for me they dont fuck him up enough#AT ALL sometimes when they fuck him up theyre like give him ..... scruff! neat little line of blood!#also in accordance to a review here hes too plastic for a film noir thank goodness his creepo ass didn't survive too long anyway#oh italian neorealism u really did change global filmmaking forever huh even for Americans
