Rotation

This was an anti Nazi movie made in Germany in the late 1940s. A man agrees to join the Nazi party reluctantly to provide for his family but in the meantime his wife hides information about her brother who got in trouble with them. Eventually their son betrays them and turns them in. Only the son realizes later what a jerk he was. I like how the father still loved him despite his betrayal. This was a rare treat I found on Kanopy, a service some libraries provide. I'll be watching more.

Girl with Hyacinths

This is something that new movies could learn from, a gay movie that is subtle. If this were made today there would be way too many clues along the way. I appreciate the quiet approach. A girl commits suicide so a couple takes it upon themselves to investigate why she killed herself. We meet her drunkard painter husband and the other losers in her life. Ingmar Bergman loved this Swedish movie and it has a nice presence about it.

Violent Saturday

This was an ok bank robbery movie where Victor Mature played one of the good guys. It all takes place in a small town on a Saturday. Frankly the most interesting thing about the movie was the stalker who got off way too easy.
