House Of Games (1987), David Mamet ★★★★★
Movie of the week
Mamet’s debut film. I’m reading Gavin De Becker’s The Gift of Fear, and he references this film, so I looked it up – house of games ebert, and it’s one of his Great Movies. All I can say is hell hath no fury…
The scene he mentions has a well known actor in a bit part – he only shows up in this one scene – William H. Macy.
Anyone who has seen William Wyler’s The Letter (1940) may know about the ending [ which was rejected and rewritten because it did not punish the murderer. ] < spoilers, hightlight to read <

An American Crime (2007), Tommy O’Haver ★★
