I wrote an essay on Sudden Fear<\/i>, starring Joan Crawford, Jack Palance and Gloria Grahame, for the November Noir issue of Bright Wall\/Dark Room<\/a>. A noir\/women’s picture from 1952, and a killer vehicle for the brilliant Joan Crawford, Sudden Fear<\/i> is a moody and gorgeously shot film, with a couple of tour de force acting sequences for La Crawford. I was so happy to write up the film for Bright Wall\/Dark Room. (I contributed an essay on His Girl Friday<\/i><\/a> for their “journalism” issue.)<\/p>\n The essay is currently behind a subscriber wall (the magazine is subscription-based), but wanted to provide a link for those of you who subscribe (or would consider subscribing: it’s a great magazine!):<\/p>\n Venetian Blinds and Gleaming Silver Pistols<\/a>. <\/p>\n Sometimes they excerpt some of their content for free, and I will give you all a heads up if that happens. <\/p>\n In the meantime: see Sudden Fear<\/i> if you haven’t already!
