Strange Bargain
Will Price’s STRANGE BARGAIN (1949, RKO) is now best known as the inspiration for an episode of MURDER, SHE WROTE that cast stars Martha Scott, Jeffrey Lynn and Harry Morgan as older versions of their characters and used footage from the earlier film as flashbacks. That bit of cleverness also corrected the original’s chief flaw, an overly pat ending I won’t reveal here, though it may have you groaning. Yet the film is also worth a look for some fine performances, with Scott working wonders with her stock supportive spouse role and a few interesting details inserted either by Price or screenwriter Lillie Hayward, who worked on everything from THE UNDYING MONSTER (1942) to THE SHAGGY DOG (1959).
Lynn is a bookkeeper having trouble making ends meet when his boss (Richard Gaines) offers him a way to make a quick ten grand. All he has to do is help Gaines, who’s broke, make his suicide look like murder so his wife (Katherine Emery) can collect on his life insurance. Morgan is the police detective who thinks there’s something fishy going on and Scott Lynn’s wife, who has some suspicions of her own.
Even though the film reflects traditional family structures, with Scott running the home and Lynn giving the orders, she manages to turn a character that could easily be a mere figurehead into a real person. Her responses as she begins to suspect her husband’s been up to something never go over the top. There’s none of the nostril flaring or eye bulging to which a lesser actress would resort. She registers surprise and wonder simply before developing any emotional expression. She also gives the woman a level of wit (her defense against the patriarchy?), some in the script, but some also in her choices. When she and her husband are discussing his need for a raise, she suggests he tell the boss how hard it is to raise two children on his current salary. He responds that the company didn’t make them have children. “No, I guess not,” she says as she turns to take a sip of coffee, but just before she does, she flashes a wicked smile, as if thinking of how they produced those two children.
Price’s direction is rather flat and one scene in Morgan’s office is ineptly staged, so I’m tempted to credit any clever touches to Hayward. At one point, Lynn races past an oceanside nightclub where people are dancing outside with carefree abandon, a stark contrast to his tortured state. Later, when the police inform Gaines’ snooty secretary (Betty Underwood) she’ll be the first to be fingerprinted, the co-workers behind her smirk surreptitiously, just enough for the camera to notice their enjoyment of this tiny threat to her presumptions of dignity. Little touches like that make even the film’s unrealistic ending a lot more bearable.

That's so fucked up that people are romantizing Franco, because even Red Barrels are showing him as a total creep and disgusting person. In Outlast Tag I have a feeling that some artists are making him completly different character, making him charming/safe/lovely. I even have seen some people who were drawing him with normal face (without big forehead) and you couldn't tell them that it's the right character design! I feel like Franco enjoyers are more agressive than fans of other Outlast character. Even with Coyle/Eddie simps they seem to understand that they are evil and they murder others, but with Franco I feel like they can take it when someone tell them that he's grown up, murder people in very brutal way and his voice lines are just disgusting... it really seems that people are getting agressive only because someone tell some shit about 🎀✨️Franco🎀✨️. I know his fans isn't the only one that have stick in their ass (cause I seen a lot of shit bout Coyle/Big Grunts/Easterman etc.) but yall need to understand that FRANCO IS A GROWN ASS MAN and you would run for your life if you'd meet someone in irl as 1% fucked up as he is. Saying that he's just a Baby and he made nothing wrong is just 🤮 and problem is in yall if you justificate him and things he made.
idk how to tell you this ,,,, but this game is fictional. The characters are fictional. You're free to feel however you want about them, just like I and anyone else is.
I partially agree with the part about changing his appearance to make him look more "normal" or whatever, but at the same time people are allowed to interpret their favs however they want to. They can draw / write for him however they want to. I don't like "fixing" his face, just because it (personally) feels like saying "he's too ugly", but again, that's just me. As an artist, I know that people are going to have different interpretations of a character I like. It's just part of other people existing in the world. Not everyone thinks like you do, and that's okay.
Do you know how many posts I saw (and STILL see) about Eddie Gluskin, doing essentially the same thing as what you said people do with Franco?? That man would cut you open to "make a baby in you" no hesitation and people still ""romanticize"" him (me fuckin included I LOVE YOU EDDIE). Its just part of liking fucked up characters, some people are going to want to make them more "normal".
Personally, I see the normalization as more like wanting to give him some normalcy in his life, because of his past / lore. I love the idea of letting Franco have a normal life, be a normal person. A life where he never had to deal with the stupid Mafia stuff, had a decent father and never ran into Murkoff, having a normal, happy life. But, I also seriously adore his original, fucked up character.
Honestly, who actually cares if people are "justifying" his actions??? None of them are real. He is not real. I have never understood the sentiment that you have to make sure people know you don't justify a fictional characters actions... they are not real. It's not a real person. None of the things he did happened.
Maybe it's just me, but I would not run from someone like him. That's not some edge lord "im so evil and dark" bs but because of my real life experiences. Been with and around people in my life / family who are quite like him and I didn't run.
I imagine some of us are using it as a sort of coping mechanism, because (at least for me) some of us dealt with people who treated us like he would. Though, that's getting into personal territory, and I won't try and speak for others.
All I can really say is either learn that not everybody's going to have the same ideas as you or block the tag. Sorry if that's too harsh a response, but life is too short to really give that much of a fuck about someone /something other people like.
And I've said this before but this is literally Outlast, all of the characters are this fucked up, it's not just him.
Like does no one remember Outlast 2??? Does no one remember the pile of dead burnt babies, or the hundreds of other fucked up things in that game?? I really feel like Franco does not compare.
So, can we please just be over with this now? I mean, drama is totally fun and I love it, but I can imagine others don't.
#hes my baby forever sorry full offense#why do people care this much about fictional characters and fiction in general#I mean that's great being so passionate about work you love but#I don't know . put that energy towards something a little more important#it's just reminds me of being in the killing stalking fandom all over again#you're terrible if you like killing stalking does that means that you like killing gay people or whatever the fuck they said#it's embarrassing to really think this about fiction#like it really is embarrassing to be so worked up over it#it's not like Jeffrey Dahmer or a real person causing real issues#Franco Barbi does not exist !!! as sad as i am#the outlast trials#I'm going to tag it with every Outlast tag like that guy did. again#franco barbi#eddie gluskin#richard trager#dr easterman#waylon park#miles upshur#blake langermann#lynn langermann#father martin#outlast#outlast whistleblower#chris walker#walrider#i cant remember anymore lmfao#not sure why I got this ask or why my opinions important but there ya go#this was long as hell lmfao . sorry to anyone who actually reads all of this hahahahaa

Blood Beach (1980)
"You got any opinions on it?"
"None that I'd care to say out loud."
"You and me both."
