Pickup, Hugo Haas, 1951
I had imagined the cinema by Hugo Haas wilder, more remote in aesthetic and dramatic ways from the studio mainstream. Its low budget sees Pickup only insofar as to when that very few sets and appear relatively few actors, otherwise everything is very smooth. The small-noir tale of a brave, Eastern European immigrants and the blond all-American-Slut is high camp, but she has not even necessary, they developed a unique appeal. At the beginning of the blonde keeps the dog in the arm, which wants to buy the immigrant, he then uses instead of the blonde. At the end of Blondie is lifted, he holds the dog in his arms. A perfect replacement, no question. has the entanglements between them, Hugo Haas, who plays the lead role himself guarantees just made up, so that there is a reasonably credible justification for a masochistic fetish arrangement of a picture book: The blonde abused immigrants (that Haas, the director) viciously who hears each word can defend themselves but not because it believes is deaf. No doubt both and all the minor characters durchgeknallt complete, but only a little. Or perhaps only recently. Perhaps the immigrant, the blonde, the young rival, the "Professor" before not too long nor ordinary people - and a little they still remember it as it was then. Girl, Interrupted, but in a down to earth way, these are the figures, that is the whole enterprise. A film that is content to put up a very private fetish into the picture and wants to be an otherwise quite unambitious popular cinema: That was then but fell pretty good.
