Released: June 14, 1940

THE MORTAL STORM

MGM / 100 minutes / Directed by: Frank Borzage

A family is torn apart by the rise of the Nazis and James Stewart gets caught in the middle as a family friend that isn’t a Hitler movement supporter.

Thanks to the geniuses at the Warner Archive, this movie is available as part of their Manufactured on Demand service. Not sure if it’s on their streaming site or not.

Love this movie.

June 6, 1944: D-Day, The Invasion of Normandy

On this day in 1944, Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy, France. More than 160,000 American, British, and Canadian troops and 30,000 vehicles landed along a 50-mile stretch of fortified French coastline. The Battle of Normandy, known as “Operation Overlord,” lasted from June 1944 to August 1944 and aided in ending World War II in Europe.

I’m a big James Ellroy fan. Years ago, I caught wind of Joe Carnahan trying to make a version of Ellroy’s White Jazz. I followed his blog a bit, downloaded a copy of the script. He even had someone mock up a few shots that represented the look he was going for. Clooney was on board to play Dave Klein until he dropped out at the last minute. I was lukewarm to the idea of Carnahan/Clooney, but I love this image and use it as one of my rotating desktop pics. I’m listening to the White Jazz audiobook on my drives to & from work these days and I just love the feel of it, that frenetic first-person drive that propels you through the book.

He didn’t know Richmond very well, only having been through the town once or twice before, but finding a woman was never hard in any town big enough. You just go where the neon is mostly red.
