Break in the Circle
The very thing asked for is Humphrey Bogart in Key Largo
and The Big Sleep, as the basis for From Russia with Love. Guest
engineers this so very brilliantly that his Véry flares went off all through
the Harry Palmer series and into The Parallax View, with a significant
afterimage in Ordeal by Innocence.
Or call it the midpoint between Cloak and Dagger on the
one hand and Torn Curtain on the other. Terence Young’s beautiful
analysis accepts certain larger aspects of the work as sketches for a general
layout mobilized by action sequences. Mike Hodges took another tack in Get
Carter by emphasizing the tragic discontinuity of the editing.
A profound memory of The Third Man rises to the surface
at resonant moments. Guest brings all this to a point in a punchline
anticipating The Pumpkin Eater.
Casino Royale
The work has been routed by some critics from the domain of art,
which is zealously guarded by some critics. It is, of course, a work of genius.
