Review of They Live by Night (1949) by Alex B — 20 May 2013
"My way of thinking, folks ought to have what they want, long as they can pay for it." "So to speak, you're an investment, and you're gonna pay off." A realistic and sympathetic/sensitive (and early/influential) fugitive love story--loves and lives defeated by capitalism and the capitalist state.
(Didn't Terrence Malick just steal the characters here for Badlands?).
