A classic.
Sullivan's Travels, 1941.. bluray..
The film's primary theme is best summed up in the last line of dialogue as spoken by Sullivan: "There's a lot to be said for making people laugh. Did you know that's all some people have? It isn't much, but it's better than nothing in this cockeyed caravan."
The scene in which the prisoners are taken to watch the 1934 Disney cartoon Playful Pluto takes place in a Southern black church; the film treats the African-American characters there with a level of respect unusual in films of the period. The Secretary of the NAACP, Walter White, wrote to Sturges:
I want to congratulate and thank you for the church sequence in Sullivan's Travels. This is one of the most moving scenes I have seen in a moving picture for a long time. But I am particularly grateful to you, as are a number of my friends, both white and colored, for the dignified and decent treatment of Negroes in this scene. I was in Hollywood recently and am to return there soon for conferences with production heads, writers, directors, and actors and actresses in an effort to induce broader and more decent picturization of the Negro instead of limiting him to menial or comic roles. The sequence in Sullivan's Travels is a step in that direction and I want you to know how grateful we are.

Young Frankenstein, 1974..
https://www.movienewsletters.net/photos/006773R1.jpg
Gene Wilder's performance as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein is ranked number nine on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Performances of All Time, ahead of the likes of Robert De Niro in Raging Bull (1980) and Daniel Day-Lewis in My Left Foot (1989).
One afternoon while shooting, Anne Bancroft (Mel Brooks' wife) visited the set and told Teri Garr that she and Mel had seen The Conversation (1974) the night before, which features Garr and Gene Hackman in the cast. Garr replied, "Oh, yeah, that turned out to be a pretty good movie." Bancroft responded, "Honey, *this* is a movie. The Conversation (1974) is a film."
Murder, Inc. 1960..
https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...9VgVvkiSw9bgkA
Actor, later producer/executive, Robert Evans turned down the part of Reles, because it was "not the lead role" and Peter Falk was cast instead, becoming Falk's first Oscar nominated performance.
"Murder, Inc." features six Oscar-nominated performers: Stuart Whitman, Peter Falk, Vincent Gardenia, Sylvia Miles, Seymour Cassel, and Diane Ladd.
The film capitalized on the popularity of "The Untouchables" television show which shared many of the same production designs. When it aired on network television a few years later it was shown on ABC, which was "The Untouchables" network.
of the same story of murder inc we had this from 1951 and humphrey bogart in THE ENFORCER.

It was adapted from the 1935 novel of the same name by C. S. Forester, and was directed by John Huston. Huston and Bogart drank whisky the whole film saving them getting ill, but it didnt do their livers much good i guess lol.
