    What a loaded group!
    All that's left of what we were is what we have become.

    Another tough group. I'm rooting for "Katie Elder" though.

    Army of Shadows is tremendous. Jean-Pierre Melville is a real genius.

    Well, FWIW, with your endorsement maybe I'll give it a go. Any idea what service its available on? Netflix would be my guess. They run a lot of foriegn films don't they?

    Unfortunately, right now it looks like it's only available to rent at all the usual places (Apple, YouTube, etc.). But actually HBO Max by far has the largest selection of foreign classic to stream, as they're partnered with TCM and Criterion.

    Really? Huh. Well, I don't have an issue renting it. What, $3.99 for the rental? No problem. If I hate it I'll send you an invoice, Mae!!! lol
