The Killer Has Asthma! - Blake Edwards' "Experiment in Terror" (1962)
Blake Edwards died last night. I get the whole Breakfast at Tiffany's and Pink Panther thing. Loved Peter Gunn. I'll watch Victor Victoria, or even Micki & Maude on the right kind of day. But I think Blake hit a high note with Experiment in Terror. It's a shadow-binge late noir thriller about a bank teller in San Francisco that is taken hostage in her own home by a wheezing strangler who tries to coerce her into robbing her employer. Big emphasis on sound design and the Mancini soundtrack was perfect. Who knew asthma could be so creepy?

Salesman
Not only it is a plethora of true Boston accents (oh, I love that "ehr" sound!), three deckers, snow-filled streets, smoking salesmen and women in curlers, there's so much more than just those tidbits to recommend this. Imagine trying to sell Bibles door to door now (or anything, for that matter.)
Albert Maysles is the reason I went to college.

From The Farmer's Daughter
This voice in American Cinema is gone. Who are today's Capras and Sturgeses? (And in this case H.C. Potter).

"Walt Disney Meets Lawrence Welk"
I've often blogged of my admiration of all things K. Gordon Murray. Finally, someone is making a documentary!
