I'm just going to treat this post like I'm on tumblr, because whether having a conversation in a room dressed monochromatically or showing LA in all its gaudy, late-60s beauty,
Point Blank is all about being gorgeous.
With a mise-en-scene oddly (and wrongly) reminiscent of a musical with the scene's chorus of grizzled seamen gathering 'round, Acker prances around the docks braless to attract her future husband Lee Marvin. As one does.
Lee Marvin and his now depressed wife, who has taken up with the guy who stole his loot.
Power office in green. Desks look so much handsomer minus computers.
Dinner date at the burger joint.
Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson.
Diner scene: cut to bored teenage date. She fascinates Lee Marvin, who ignores Angie to stare at this little moment of ennui.
Carroll O'Connor, who injects fire into the last few scenes of Point Blank. Sunglasses were so cool in the 60s and 70s. Does he look 45 here? He's 45 here.
