Movie Review - The Long Voyage Home

The Long Voyage Home (1940)
directed by John Ford
rating: 5 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from B. Sweet

As grim and as great as anything Bull Feeney made. Toland's light and fog sway, slink, and crowd, but the camera stays easy as you please through a four-part storm made eerier by native nights but never more than sad.

This week's superlative: one of the best last shots in movies.
