Blue Eyes Till You’re Cross-eyed

To honor actor Paul Newman, who died last week after a battle with cancer, cable broadcaster TCM (aka Turner Classic Movies) has scheduled a marathon of 11 Newman pictures for Sunday, October 12. Included in that day’s offerings will be: Hud (1962), The Outrage (1964), Torn Curtain (1966), and Cool Hand Luke (1967). For more details, click here. (Hat tip to Patti Abbott.)

QUOTABLE CRIME

“I make no conscious effort to be tough, or hard-boiled, or grim, or any of the things I am usually called. I merely try to write as the character would write, and I never forget that the average man, from the fields, the streets, the bars, the offices, and even the gutters of his country, has acquired a vividness of speech that goes beyond anything I could invent, and that if I stick to this heritage, this logos of the American countryside, I shall attain a maximum of effectiveness with very little effort.”
— James M. Cain, from the preface to Double Indemnity
