144: On the Beach (1959) and Fail Safe (1964)
Manage episode 375601076 series 2901289
Nuclear Annihilation is the theme this weak. First, "On the beach provide a yawning stare into oblivion. We suggest some ways it could be spiced up (hint/: Ava Gardner is involved). Next up, Sidney Lumet's "Fail Safe" manages to do a lot with just old guys talking in rooms (26:34). Probably not in Lumet's top 5, but it entertains to the last scene. And we learn never to cross Walter Matthau.
Next week: In and Out of Jail w/ The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) and Straight Time (1978).
