Viewing Journal: 3/23/2022





161) THE STRANGE DOOR
(1951 dir. Joseph Pevney) Date Seen: March 23 2022















160) THE CLIMAX
(1944 dir. George Waggner) Date Seen: March 23 2022

features one of the coolest cross dissolves I've ever seen; where a moving dolly shot of pristine new furniture within an upper-class home slowly morphs into a shot of the same furniture
dust covered & abandoned in the future. That visual transition happens early in the film though & unfortunately almost everything that follows afterwards is a middling bore. The technicolor is nice though.
