P.M.BryantIda Lupino and Dane Clark in a scene from “Deep Valley” (1947)
jack the nonabrasiveI enjoyed #DeepValley, but the story of Baker the domineering creep, Pa the one-time (?) abuser, and Barry the powderkeg tells us that men may have decent attributes, but can erupt in violence at level of provocation dependent on their view of themselves as men in this world. Every man’s fatal flaw is formed the moment he’s told he’s a man with a certain set of privileges in our world.
That shot of Barry shaving in the attic…I guess escaping from a chain gang is no excuse to slack off personal grooming. #TCMParty #DeepValley #NoirAlley
Where the heck is Joe? Did they only budget for so many days of dog wrangling during the shoot? #DeepValley #NoirAlley #TCMParty
If Libby is Miranda, it seems like Ma is Prospero and Pa is Caliban. Of course, Joe is Ariel. #DeepValley #TCMParty #NoirAlley
“I never called anyone darling, before.”
“I did, but I was a liar.”
That scene just after he gives her the revolver... Some great writing.
“How about Jeff being a nice man?”
“You’d better get used to me dropping in, Libby”
Every guy is #DeepValley is a first-rate creep, except for Barry.
