Snobbin: Beautiful Trash in the Pop Culture Gutter

With a script by Samuel Fuller, this hardboiled Douglas Sirk noir does not disappoint if you like crisp dialogue, tight pacing, and disillusioned characters.

Joan Micklin Silver's breezy "hit" comedy relies more on the societal expectations for human connection than the fairy tale "will they, won't they" of the average rom com.

Jack Lemmon plays bamboozled straight man to Walter Matthau's audacious and award-winning turn as ambulance chasing lawyer, "Whiplash" Willie Gingrich, as they bargain for a huge settlement. Another Wilder gem that engages and surprises; however, the film doesn't allow Lemmon to let loose as much as I'd like.
