- Raintree County
"Raintree County" has been part of my psychic since I first saw it in theatrical release in 1956.I was only ten years old at the time and was completely 'star struck' by the stunningly beautiful and captivating 25 year old Elizabeth Taylor as Susanna.I have been in love with her screen presence ever since.Professional film reviewers were, and remain, unjustifiably un-kind to this noteworthy film.The root cause for much of this 'echo chamber' carping is that other noteworthy romance centered ...

It's not strange at all he decided to make such emblematic Noir films such as Murder my sweet, Cornered, The sniper and Crossfire, but he was very worried about the ethic conscious when he bet for A gentleman's agreement.
