Point Blank again

I blogged back in January that I had never seen Point Blank before. It's coming up again tonight at 10:00 PM ET on TCM, and since that's just a few hours away, it's a bit to late for me to do a full post on it. But now that I've seen it, I can say that it might well be worth watching. That is, if you enjoy the 1960s style heist movie. As I mentioned back then, I thought from the trailer that Point Blank looked about as dated as The Thomas Crown Affair, and that did indeed turn out to be the case. However, it's dated more in the sense that it's a trip back in time. The amount of concrete architecture and bad fashion in this movie is something to behold. That, and the zooms. What on earth were directors thinking in those days?
