Mr Brown + Edward Hopper


Nr Brown like the other color names in Reservoir Dogs.
And opening shot is from a Hopper painting. Wow this is so fast, dark and
cool in best 50s way.
Great style and lighting. Influenced so much like Brando films.
Even the music score is sneaking mean.
This fine fun camp. Look at that stark shot of the 4 vertical bars in
the first jail scene.
Here's an upcoming film description that shows hoe far things have come
from the two hoods sharing a bedroom.

Brendan Fraser stars in the wacky comedy Gay Secret Agent as, well, a gay secret agent. Part James Bond and part Austin Powers, the spy is the best in the world due to his homosexuality, which makes him charming, well-mannered, and a sharp dresser. Brad Hall and Andrew Gottlieb wrote the script.

Not getting how a Brendan Fraser movie ties in with "The Big Combo".

I did notice that the shot of the counter with the soda jerk and the customer looked very Hopperish.

There is nothing "camp" in "The Big Combo".
