Day 7: A holiday movie by Hallmark or any other network/streaming service


It's dumb but I have a soft spot for anything set in Chicago.

I know this is a divisive choice in these parts and I see why but even so...It's A Wonderful Life. I don't like this movie as much as I did when I was little but it's still nostalgic. I probably won't be watching it the whole way through anytime soon but if it happens to be on tv after a family get-together, we'll watch the ending.

Have you seen Pottersville? For reals it’s fun move.

Christmas Noir.

Phillip Marlow, a blue collar, salt of the earth gumshoe, is hired to find the wife of a publisher who ran off to Mexico not long before Christmas. It gets complicated from there.

This one was interesting in two ways. The first one, this film was shot as a POV film. They wanted to mimic Chandler's first-person narration style, so the only time you see Robert Montgomery as Phillip Marlow is when he breaks the fourth wall as a narrator at the start of the movie, or when he sees himself reflected in mirrors and the like. The second interesting thing was moving the novel's mid-summer timeframe to Christmas, which gave Montgomery, who also directed, a chance to contrast the grim events of the story with the brightness of the season. Moving it to Christmastime was a better experiment than the "camera as the character" experiment. And Montgomery was a little unsubstantial as Marlow, even if you saw him only rarely.

Read the book. It isn't a Christmas book, but it works considerably better as a story.

The Lady in the Lake (1947)
