Re: A few words from John Simons
Apologies for the allegations of anti-semitism. I can't back it up. Just an impression I'd had from comments made years ago. As a self-loathing scouser I don't know what I'm talking about…

I do have dearly beloved family members from that part of the world (none of whom are thieves incidentally) but still, apologies to anyone offended.

It's a weave, and he's gay. Not that the latter is an issue, he types nervously..

It's new-hip. Or neo-hip, for the fashion-conscious among us.

Re: A few words from John Simons
I'd put LCR up as my fav JP Melville, he certainly made a good film... probably just at that point where we tipped into the 70s but great never the less...maybe the tracksuits are a let down.

Re: A few words from John Simons
Rififi has got some great clothes in it as I recall. I can't recall details though. A classic, but the 4 French films from back in the day that I really love are: A bout de souffle, Tirez sur le pianiste, Bob le flambeur and my all time favourite Touchez pas au grisbi.

Re: A few words from John Simons
Le Samourai for me was a let down, even if the clothes weren't, I think I'd bigged it up too much in my mind..

Re: A few words from John Simons
If I can ever afford to buy a DVD again I'll follow your advice and go for Le Cercle Rouge instead of Le Samourai. (I don't do downloads.)
