Robert Wise's The Day the Earth Stood Still was released 72 years ago today.

#RobertWise creates a smoke-filled, sleazy, unglamorous, two-bit boxing noir. Amazingly shot by Milton Krasner. Unstylized fight scenes are crazy intense, no wonder Scorsese is a big fan. There’s joy and misery of seeing fellow meatballs battling it out, where paying spectators chant "KILL HIM!" #RobertRyan slogs through a hellish fight, then being subject to the fury of the gang. Just how much of this can a man take? A great tight noir. #thesetup #filmnoir #georgebellows

With a cool title sequence, rapid cuts, zoom-ins, extreme closeups, jazzy score and old New York scenery, there are a lot to love in Odds Against Tomorrow. It patiently spends 2/3rd of the film on the characters before the heist. #HarryBelafonte is mesmerizing as a conflicted anti-hero, so is #RobertRyan in his aging grizzly man persona. #GloriaGrahame shows up as saucy next door neighbor of Slater (Ryan) and their scene together is deliciously explosive. #robertwise #filmnoir
