...Tower (1949) was considerably better, thanks to Charles Laughton, Franchot Tone, and Meredith's own turn as a hapless myopic accused of double murder. Laughton is Inspector Maigret, the portliest policeman since Orson in Touch of Evil, and Tone is Radek, his "Candide"-quoting psychopathic prey. From behind the camera (reportedly with some help from Laughton), Meredith delivers a lean, cerebral mystery with plenty of wit, and one that never pauses for clich?.

MTV has been playing it steadily, propelling the previously little-known Elliott to the top of the charts...
...guilty secret of John Cassavetes' films was that they relied on Hollywood star quality. His lupine smile sent out laser beams of frantic menace, and Gena Rowlands had (still has) a face the camera can't stop watching. When she shows up in She's So Lovely to hear Penn murmur, "You're a very beautiful woman, and I haven't been around the kindness of women in some time," it's a sweet tribute from this generation of Method mesmerizers to the one who taught them...
