Nitrateville Correction Dept: MY SON JOHN
Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2014 7:06 pm
Hey, haven't really bashed Nitratevile of late, too damn busy doing more important things and it's devolved into such a nest of nerd nattering that it's not really worth my time reading all that hard, but I saw that Ed Larusso continues to show his lack of actual film knowledge today in another uninformed "review" of Leo McCarey's anti-commie embarrassment MY SON JOHN which gave one a bit of a laugh when Larusso commented:
"Robert Walker died just after principal photography was completed",
Which is a hard statement to make for anyone whose seen the mess. Try "principal photography was half-finished"when Walker died, and for Larusso to get the film education he so sorely needs before he goes off wheezing all these idiotic opinions based on nothing but air, all he has to do is go to John McElwee's well-researched article on the film on his Greenbriar Picture Show website:

Enough bashing, back to more important things.
