I'd like to see Posse. And thanks for reminding me about The Laughing Policeman. The Driver; i saw it when it came out, but since then have always mixed it up with THIEF starring Jimmy Caan, for some reason.Auto Manicsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397258225529631690.post-16535325136491175202009-06-02T13:52:03.249-04:002009-06-02T13:52:03.249-04:00I have always been up and down on Dern.

I remember him as one of the stand-outs in "Hang 'em High" (which I did not like). The only other actor I remember was The Skipper (and Clint, obviously).<br /><br />As far as B Movies besting their A Movie cousins, if you've ever seen "The Agony of Love" it is basically the same story as "Belle de Jour" - but came out a year earlier, and is arguably a better portrayal.Darius Whiteplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950956139088139753noreply@blogger.com
