"The Silent Partner" 1977 was one of his greatest turns!!
One of the most vile villains in screen history in a movie that is rarely

seen any more!!

Ripe for rediscovery, that one.

Would have made a good episode of COLUMBO or something but hardly worth

able to fast-forward Toni Collette, unpleasant at the best of times she
just looks HARROWING in this.

To think she is the same age as me. I suppose that's the difference
between being a sun-worshipper and a devil-worshipper.

I was moderately entertained by the film, but found it relied too much on lucky coincidences/timing. Nowhere near as clever as some would have you believe.

The first film I watched in 2020 was FORD V FERRARI (AKA LE MANS '66). Almost certainly going to be the best film I see this year, so I probably should have stopped there.

I like Knives Out a lot. Yes the plotting is hokey at times, but that's
part of the genre. It was great fun to watch a movie with great actors batting smartly written dialogue back and forth, like a tennis match [if tennis didn't suck]. And Christopher Plummer remains a treasure whom we
take far too easily for granted.
