THE BARON OF ARIZONA (1950)by Samuel Fuller
starring Vincent Price
"Master swindler James Reavis devotes years to forging documents that will give him claim to the entire state of Arizona. He finds a young girl whom he believes is an orphan and hires a governess to educate her in the manner of the Spanish aristocracy. He invents deceased parents for her whose ancestry can be traced to a mythical Spanish nobleman. He then insinuates himself into a Spanish monastery for three years so he can access its biblioteca which carries the records of Spanish land grants. He later joins a gypsy band to have access to the library of a Spanish noblemen where he can alter duplicate documents. When everything is in place, he marries the now-grown young woman and puts in his claim as her husband as the Baron of Arizona." - imdb.com
I thought this was a pretty good movie, and V. Price is outstanding! It's a true story that makes it a lot better and the ending was pretty surprising.
THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE (1973)
by Peter Yates
starring Robert Mitchum & Peter Boyle
I didn't love this movie, but it's really well shot and the way the characters played each other kinda reminded of THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE UGLY... maybe that's a bit far fetched though. I've always been a fan of Robert Mitchum though and I think his acting in this film as the old guy who still gets stuff done is pretty great.
oh, also! I finally got this LP:
