THE FILM BUFFET- A Feast for Your Eyes January 20, 2008

Toronto Film Society presents part 4 of 7 double features in our Sunday Afternoon at the Movies. A companion series on Mondays is also available. Today we present two unusual noir features
ALL MY SONS dir. Irving Reis w. Edward G.Robinson, Burt Lancaster, Howard Duff
Joe Keller (Robinson) is a successful, well-liked businessman harboring a dirty secret in his soul about a government contract he had during the war. Arthur Miller's compelling drama of moral conflict and its ultimate resolution is the first film to deal with the corruption of war profiteers. Lancaster is perfect as the angry son grieving over a lost brother. A fine example of how well two actors from different Hollywood eras can play off each other. Nominated for 2 WGAs (Writers Guild)
THE BROTHERS RICO 1957 dir. Phil Karlson w. Richard Conte, Dianne Foster, James Darren
Eddie Rico (Conte) is now an honest merchant with a family-gone straight after doing the books for the Mafia. His younger brother (Darren) is in hiding from the police (or is it the mob?) and Eddie is being used as bait to flush him out. A compelling early example of how corporate style modernized organized crime. Based on the Georges Simenon novel.
