1953 Oscar Shouldabeens
When I saw a rare 35mm print of it in January 2005, Eddie Muller introduced the film and made the same claim about the UN building location shooting. I remember thinking it was a surprisingly good film as well. Has anyone seen any of the (very few) other films directed by Maxwell Shane? I've heard good things about Nightmare...
Damien this exercise certainly proves that 1953 was a great year. You're in good company in singling out the music of Gate of Hell, which usually gets remembered for its production design only. When Luis Bunuel was part of the Cannes jury that gave the film their top prize that year, he said Akutagawa's score was one of the few examples of film music he could wholeheartedly approve of.
Some notable titles unmentioned in your summary of 1953 include the Earrings of Madame de..., Bellissima, 99 River Street, Mr. Hulot's Holiday, the Bigamist, Monika, the Glenn Miller Story, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the Big Heat and Pickup on South Street. Did any of these come close to mentions in your reckoning of the year?

Yes, it's not perfect but it's fascinating, and very well shot. Gassman used to say that making it reminded him of the Italian neorealist movement - not much money maybe, but lots of enthusiasm and "truth". It gave him some hopes about his future in American movies, but that didn't last long - they quickly put him in Sombrero and in Rhapsody. (He came back to America only years later, when Altman called him for A Wedding).
The images of New York as it was back then are rare and wonderful. And I think Gassman even claimed that they were the first crew allowed to shoot into the new UN building - though I don't know if this is true.

The cable network Turner Classic Movies showed The Glass Wall in 2009. I recorded it and watched it last year. It's especially relevant today because it deals with an "illegal" immigrant.ITALIANO wrote:Damien, Vittorio Gassman would be very happy. In any interview he gave, and in his autobiography, he admitted that he was generally ashamed of his American movies, insisted that The Glass Wall was a gem and that he was very proud of that movie and of his performance in it. He just thought that it was impossible to find - in America even more than in Italy - but it seems that this isn't true, since you had the chance of seeing it.
These were my notes after seeing it: "Unexpectedly good, tight, heartfelt and politically astute noir about an "illegal" immigrant’s attempts to elude a manhunt and stay in New York. It’s got great New York City location footage (mostly Times Square – pre-dating Sweet Smell Of Success by a few years) and a wonderful performance by Gassman, who is both moving, charismatically sensitive and quite sexy. The movie is admirably humane about society’s outcasts, and if the script meanders and has some holes, the film remains atmospheric and often quite fascinating.

Off the top of my head I would say Robert Wagner in Below The 12 Mile Reef, and Geraldine Page in Hondo.Reza wrote:Would be interesting to know what you thought were the worst performances of 1953.
