:P.S. The ones I haven't seen posted yet (and can't find) from
:Cassevetes Criterion Box set are:
:
:Shadows (1959), Faces (1968), Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976) and
:the Bonus Disk.

:I'm more interested in the latter 3.
:
:I've also been trying to find Cassevete's Minnie and Moskowitz (1971)
:with Gena Rowlands and Seymour Cassel which seems to exist on an
:Anchor Bay special edition with commentary by the stars (but no subs).
:I saw it in the theater when it was released and enjoyed it-- it's
:lighter than most of his other films more of a screwball romantic
:comedy as I remember it--or maybe it was that Cassel is kind of
:whacky in it.
:
:But I always liked Gena Rowlands and unfortunately married to
:Cassevetes she never seemed to do as much with her film career as she
:might have-- pretty much limited her movie acting during her peak
:years to only her husbands films -- similar to what Joanne Woodward
:did with respect to Paul Newman.
:
:Anyway I liked Gena as Minnie in this one -- and if you're not that
:crazy about some Cassevete's movies, this one might be a good one to
:see.
John, Gena, Ben, Martin, (& maybe some others), formed kind of an
artsie-house 'Rat Pack'. I would have loved to sit in on some of their
late-night discussions.
I thought I had already posted Shadows (1959), but if I did it must have
been more than 240 days ago.
I already have 'Faces' (2 discs) set to arrive in a few days, & I've
had 'Bookie' (2 discs) on order for a couple of months. It currently
says 'very long wait'.
I'll get 'Shadows' again & repost it soon.
'Killer's' this weekend. Postal holidays really mess up my schedule.
