Kiss of Death, 1947

[Dart]

Is anybody else out there stylishly excited that Henry Hathaway's Kiss of Death is coming out on DVD, December 6? I've heard much of Richard Widmark's chilling portrayal, and of the wheelchair incident, but have never seen it.

Incidentally, I'm Dart. How do you do.

Cheers,
Dart

No, what is it about? I am fine and yourself, welcome to the Lounge. Do you play darts?

 

[Dart]

What are all film noirs about, huh?

Thanks for the welcome. I've never played darts seriously. Whilst intoxicated on a few occasions only.

Cheers,
Dart

I think I saw part of it a few year back on TCM or AMC.

Hello Dart.
I am probably going to pick this classic up on dvd when released.
My father used to live in (or near) the house where they filmed parts of this film.
While growing up I remember him mentioning Victor Mature and the 'Kiss of Death' house.
If I can locate the house I can take a few pictures if anyone is interested.

Glad to know ya, Feraud.

I'd be keen to see that house. Especially after viewing the film, which I'm fated to like. Night and the City and Panic in the Streets, both with Widmark, are tops for me.

What a character your old man must've been!

Cheers,
Dart

Same here. I will get on the job and get pictures posted.
Btw, the old man is still the character!

Great film, it would have been interesting if they had been able to use "Harry The Hipster" Gibson, for Tommy Udo like it was originally planned, Although keeping Harry straight for filming would have been near impossible.

Great turn by Richard Widmark as Tommy Udo, I loved how he recreated the character for "O Henry's Full House," not long after.
