A few weeks ago here, I was writing that The Third Man was on You Tube - two different prints, the original black-and-white; and a colorized version. They're gone, now.
When I recommend to see something on You Tube, you have to watch it right away before they take it down!
Meanwhile, on Amazon Prime - The Big Easy is available to watch for free. It's good! Watch it before it goes away!
Fantastic music.
Wonderful action plot, revolving around public morality, very relevant, compared to the Corruption Run Amok that we have today.
(American public: "Supreme Court, you have to have ethical standards."
Supreme Court: "You're not the boss of me!")
Ellen Barkin plays a federal prosecutor who comes to New Orleans to investigate corruption. She calls upon a Mafia person to come in and testify. The Mafia guy protests this strange new protocol, telling his friend on the force - "When he was in charge, he wouldn't make me come down here.
(pause)
He'd come to-the-house!"
Ned Beatty is in it, so is John Goodman.
When the prosecutor says ruefully to Dennis Quaid's character, "I've never had much luck with sex," he answers,
"Your luck's about to change!"
Oy vey.
