Description

Join hosts Jason, Anthony, and Tim as they discuss Cy Endfield’s The Sound of Fury aka Try and Get Me!, a 1950 crime film that critic Thom Andersen includes on his list of film gris movies, or socially conscious crime cinema, during the film noir years (1940s through the 1950s). Endfield was blacklisted in 1951 after his name was mentioned during the infamous House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) hearings. He subsequently relocated to London, where he went on to make a number of celebrated films, including Hell Drivers (1957) and Zulu (1964). In this episode we cite an essay by the Chicago critic Jonathan Rosenbaum that is included in his excellent 1997 book Movies as Politics. We hope you enjoy!
