I excised the Angel Eyes, not sure why i thought that. Anyway, Eli Wallach is lucky to have so fervent a defender! If you'll note I post-scripted awhile ago checking the vehemence of my response, confessing it's based, as all too often these things are, on projecting traits I wish I could somehow exorcise from my own character through a cinematic denial. The thing about Misfits, I've seen it dozens of times, and thought it was a masterpiece maybe 1/3 the time, and in all those viewings I've never seen the same film twice, as if my memory is somehow re-editing it in every interim. Either way, keep up the attitude! The all-too often drab and conformative world of cinema criticism needs more maniac amore.

He played Tuco. Please change that. It makes you look so ignorant.<br /><br />If Wallach's portrayal if Guido bothers your (obviously) delicate sensibilities that much, it's because he did his job as a very good actor. Guido is SUPPOSED to be repugnant. Otherwise, you're missing the whole point of the character's presence in the movie. But, my God, try REALLY hard not to be too repulsed by Guido, okay? We would hate to have you miss Wallach's other fine performances because you were hiding under the bed!Dixie Burgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04166129030174880729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-18038875459493426222016-12-27T21:26:02.452-05:002016-12-27T21:26:02.452-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Dixie Burgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04166129030174880729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-70032027435923690642012-04-30T13:44:10.785-05:002012-04-30T13:44:10.785-05:00Eric I live to read these posts of yours...this p...Eric I live to read these posts of yours...this particular one on The Misfits is nothing short of great! Your personal insight matched by the candid nature of how these films speak to you is how films should be reviewed...I have been watching the misfits for years and never grasped the full scope of it until reading this...don't ever stop writing my friend you are an original.The Del Valle Archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714726424556166774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-82915161862690670712012-04-29T17:39:38.211-05:002012-04-29T17:39:38.211-05:00Wow.
