Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I think that in Lady in the Lake, Montgomery looks into a mirror at some point early on, so you do see him briefly.

You don't ever see David Carradine's face during the Kill Bill Vol. 1, though you do see his hands. Same with Blofeld in From Russia With Love and Thunderball.

In the Mood for Love - you hear the voices of the cheating spouses, but you never see them.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ooh, good one. Bonus points for Tony Leung.

Don't you see their bodies though? Just not their faces?

Ann, that's a ferret.

I doubt college students would know Dark Passage, and it doesn't quite qualify, but it's a fine Bogie and Bacall effort. The first hour is from the main character's POV. He then (if I remember the plot) has plastic surgery and, when we see him, he's become Bogie.

Also contains a fine performance by Agnes Moorehead, a name some college students would know.

You remember correctly. It was part of the Bogie and Bacall boxed set (along with The Big Sleep, Key Largo and Too Have and Have Not)

Robert Montgomery directed and "starred" in the 1947 version of Raymond Chandler's "Lady in the Lake". The whole plot takes place from the lead character's POV, so you only see him when he's reflected in something.

Something tells me that's probably a tad obscure, though.
