Head's up of future attractions: My next 1981 Project review will be for a Robert Aldrich film. <br /><br />Your review was excellent and I found myself trying to live up to it. You should check out Seitz's youtube video review if you have not yet.Colonel Mortimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02274200191927739535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510574832320289461.post-9018452580041567372011-04-21T22:40:08.225-07:002011-04-21T22:40:08.225-07:00Excellent examination of this film, Colonel! Good ...Excellent examination of this film, Colonel! Good call, too, on Sharky's obsessive character parallels to those Hitchcock classics and Preminer's <i>Laura</i>. I really wished Burt would have taken Eastwood's route career-wise. He did show a lot of promise with this directorial stint. Tell me, did you ever catch Burt in Robert Aldrich's neo noir film, <i>Hustle</i>? I'd be interested in your take. <i>Sharky's Machine</i> has a great look and remains highly engaging even 30 years later. I very much enjoyed this post, my friend -- and thanks very much for the shout-out.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.com
