I have watched Burt Lancaster's films the Killers, Criss Cross , The Crimson Pirate and The Swimmer recently. While Burt Lancaster is a great actor, I am impressed by the acting skills of the lead actresses: Ava Lavinia Gardner, Yvonne De Carlo, Eva Bartok and Janice Rule.
HalfAMoon 2023 is a 14-day celebration of female characters in fandom that runs from February 1 through Valentine's Day. Today's theme is "Both Sides of the Law". This kinds of fit the theme as three of the characters are on the wrong side of the law. Here is a picsam.
In the Killers (1946), Ava Lavinia Gardner (as Kitty Collin) was a magnificent femme fatale.
Criss Cross (1949) is a film noir featuring ill-fated lovers, snarling rivals, and a daring theft. Yvonne De Carlo (as Anna) really sold me as both a femme fatale and someone who wanted her freedom.
Eva Bartok (as Consuelo) was a revolutionary's daughter in The Crimson Pirate (1952), a boisterous and colorful pirate film that inspires Pirates of the Caribbean. She held her own besides Burt Lancaster (as Captain Vallo)
The Swimmer (1968) is a surreal and stylized film that begins with a man spending a summer day swimming as many pools as he can all over a quiet suburban town. (Burt Lancaster spends the whole film only wearing a pair of swimming trunks). Janice Rule (as Shirley Abbott) performed believably as the ex-lover who reveals the reality.
