The Earth Dies Screaming (1964)

"She couldn't have been alive."

"How do you think she got down here? Anybody carry her? She walked, my friend. She was alive, alright. When I shot her, she fell down and she bled just like anybody else."

Fisher works wonders (with #the help of some familiar stock footage‚ admittedly: there's a plane crash over a forest in the opening scenes which I've definitely seen #used in The Avengers and possibly The Saint) to create a small village view of the apocalypse. the silent shots of deserted towns are very #eery and evocative. less convincing are the space (?) monsters (?) which terrorise the survivors; actually they don't seem overly #interested in terrorising‚ mostly they wander aimlessly and ignore our heroes. the resurrected dead are far more creepy (and do they make #this the first british zombie film?). some familiar faces play to their strengths: Price as a slimy aristocrat type‚ Walters as a drink #addled fool. most interesting is a very young Anna Palk‚ later a tv star in her own right‚ as the pregnant wife of an equally young David #Spenser (whose brother Jeremy had previously played the younger version of Dennis Price's character in Kind Hearts and Coronets) #writer Harry Spaulding apparently hated the title (supposedly somebody's joke which stuck) but he was dead wrong #it's a baller title and one of the best things about the film. American Parker and Vi Field were married in real life‚ and often worked #together at this point in their careers; neither could be said to be old exactly at this point‚ but their stardom was on the wane #indeed‚ this was Field's final film (she continued to do some tv work in the US) and Parker made only one more

Lucille Ball, Maureen O'Hara, and Virginia Field in Dance, Girl, Dance (Dorothy Arzner, 1940) Cast: Maureen O'Hara, Louis Hayward, Lucille Ball, Virginia Field, Ralph Bellamy, Maria Ouspenskaya, Mary Carlisle, Katharine Alexander, Edward Brophy, Walter Abel. Screenplay: Tess Slesinger, Frank Davis, based on a story by Vicki Baum. Cinematography: Russell Metty. Art direction: Van Nest Polglase, Alfred Herman. Film editing: Robert Wise. Music: Edward Ward. Dorothy Arzner's film about chorus girls struggling to make lives for themselves in a milieu dominated by males and their gaze earned its place in the National Film Registry by being one of the few movies of the era to take the women's point of view seriously. It has its melodramatic excesses, but it steadily keeps its focus on the characters played by Lucille Ball and Maureen O'Hara instead of yielding time to its male leads, Louis Hayward and Ralph Bellamy.

Virginia Field and Vivien Leigh - WATERLOO BRIDGE (1940)

Dial 1119

It's no insult to anybody involved to suggest that Andre Previn’s title music for Gerald Mayer’s DIAL 1119 (1950, TCM, Apple TV+) is one of the best things in the picture. His percussive, jazz-tinged score sets the stage so perfectly you may wish he had gotten to do background music for the rest of the film. But in the long run Mayer made the right choice in going with only diegetic music. It heightens the suspense as escaped mental patient Marshall Thompson holds the patrons of a second-story bar hostage. DIAL 1119 is a tidy little thriller made on a surprisingly low budget for MGM and enhanced by some great camera work by Paul Vogel. Thompson is good casting in the lead. With his baby face, he’s much creepier than a more obvious heavy might have been, and he wisely underplays most of the time (wisely because when he finally overplays it’s not very convincing, which kills some of the tension). The rest of the cast may have been chosen because they fit the low budget, but some are very good indeed: William Conrad as a grumpy bartender named “Chuckles,” Leon Ames as a cheating husband, Argentina Brunetti as a passenger on Thompson’s bus, Sam Levene as the police psychiatrist Thompson is out to get and particularly Virginia Field as a lush. At times, she seems to be a lady of the evening coming on to the male customers, but that wouldn’t have been allowed in 1950, so when one man makes an offer, she laughs in his face, something Field did very well.
