My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Angry Silence (1960)

Is this an anti-union film or is it a film about a man suck in the middle of two stubborn forces?   You be the judge.  Richard Attenborough stars as a worker who refuses to get involved with an unofficial strike.   Doing so makes him a pariah in his community, even from his best friend.  Directed by Guy Green and shot in bold and beautiful black and white.  Grade: B+

Sadly this film isn't available on DVD.  I was able to stream it on Amazon.  If you're at all curious about this film check it out now before it's gone forever.
