The Traitor Within (1942)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Traitor_Within
This one looks like someone didn't even get around to finishing it. The lower part is almost abstract.

Cloak and Dagger (1946)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloak_and_Dagger_(1946_film)
poster language: French
Literal translation into French (and Dutch?) for once, and a very literal dagger right there in blue and white.
This is great: colour scheme, composition, lighting, all solid, but that main red font is a little incongruous. Too cheerful.

Sudden Fear (1952)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_Fear
It's a “suspense melodrama”, whatever that is.
We love a good staircase in the Film Noir world, don't we? Particularly seen from a dramatic angle.

The Letter (1940)

Whoa, easy on the fonts there. I like a good typeface as much as the next guy but less is more. Also have you ever seen smoke? Not how smoke works.
Interesting that it's two images of Davis and none of her co-stars. I might suspect they wanted to cover up the fact that it's set in the far east among colonial settlers.

"Wherever there's fear, there's hysteria, and wherever there are people who whip up fear for their own purposes, they will produce the hysteria. And they will try to do it again."

The Sellout (1952)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sellout_(film)
Classic image for a boxing movie, I guess there are only so many interesting angles you can get in a small square flat space.
I do feel like he should have got more than thirty dollars, considering all the drama it's led to.

"No matter how bad the truth is, it doesn't tear you apart inside like dishonesty…at least it leaves you with some self-respect and some dignity."

Tootsie (1982)
Dir: Sydney Pollack
I Died a Thousand Times (1955)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Died_a_Thousand_Times
poster language: Italian
The colours here are wild and the main figure is really intriguing. At first glance he looks like a singer passionately performing.
The Italian title means “It all finishes at six”, which is rather dull.
Apparently this movie is a scene-for-scene remake of “High Sierra”?
