Rather handsome and wicked, no?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Suave and devilishly charming.
The first time I remember seeing Martin was as a Tourette's patient on Dr. Kildare. I've loved him ever since, no matter the role, or how bad the movie. One meeting on my life list I'll never get the chance to check off.

My first was Wild Wild West, so his TGR role always seemed an anomaly to me. Though I thought he did it well.
Then I saw Experiment in Terror (Fear?), and realized WWW might have been the anomaly. He makes a GREAT villain.

Hi Polter-cow. Double Indemnity is based a James M. Cain novel (The Postman Always Rings Twice) not Chandler.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Isn't Double Indemnity based on, well, Double Indemnity (by James M Cain--a novella), and The Postman Always Rings Twice based on The Postman Always Rings Twice?

"Double Indemnity" is based on "Double Indemnity" by James M. Cain, but the screenplay was adapted from the novel by Raymond Chandler together with Billy Wilder.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Somebody say Double Indemnity again!

Because books.
Wouldn't it be quadruple indemnity at this point?

Yeah, but Chandler co-wrote the screenplay.
