Splendor in the Grass

0ur opinion: :Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: O7/12/2OO5 Run time: 124 minutes Rating: Nr essential video:Elia Kazan's pedal-to-the-metal approach to psychosexual melodrama paid off handsomely when he had layered material by Tennessee Williams or John Steinbeck to work with.

»rank: 6396
0ur opinion: :Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 1O/O3/2OO6 essential video:Still the tightest, sharpest, and most cynical of Hollywood's official deathless classics, bracingly tough even by post-Tarantino standards. Humphrey Bogart is Dashiell Hammett's definitive private eye, Sam Spade, struggling to keep his hard-boiled cool as the double-crosses pile up around his ankles.
