RIP Johnny Otis (December 28, 1921 - January 17, 2012)
Johnny Otis (Ioannis Alexandres Veliotes) was born in 1921, the son of Greek immigrants. He grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood and absorbed all the richness of the musical culture of the day. He is best remembered for his hit "Willie and the Hand Jive", but his musical prowess extends way beyond one pop hit. Credited with launching LITTLE RICHARD (he fronted his studio band) and Etta James (produced her first hit "Roll With Me, Henry") careers, he brought us the Johnny Otis Show as well as Snatch & the Poontangs! He was an A&R man for King records and discovered seminal acts like Willie Mae Thornton, Jackie Wilson and Hank Ballard. Thank you and RIP Johnny, we salute you!!!

Crime In The Streets (1956)
Tough guys from broken homes lead to broken bottles and broken bones. "Crime In The Streets" is a classic 1950's gang movie that stars John Cassavetes, James Whitmore and Sal Mineo. Rife with all the stereotypes surrounding juvenile delinquency, the plot is about a social worker trying to help out some inner-city boys escape their own base desires. One of the better films out there on the subject matter in my opinion. It's included in the AMC Film Noir Classic Collection 5.

"Touch of Evil" at the DFT
Orson Welle's masterpiece will be showing at the Detroit Film Theater tomorrow January 14th at 4pm! More info HERE!
"Orson Welles’ noir masterwork about the downfall of corrupt police detective Hank Quinlan (a padded, putty-nosed, whale-sized Welles) was severely cut by the studio upon its initial release; nevertheless, it quickly gained an underground reputation as one of Welles’s most brilliantly atmospheric and emotionally evocative films. This 1998 restoration was based on the famous Welles memo to studio heads, describing precisely what his final cut should look like. The swirling camerawork and delirious, seamy plot twists are richer than ever in this definitive version, featuring memorable performances from Welles, Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, Ray Collins, Akim Tamiroff, Joseph Calleia as Quinlan’s misguidedly loyal partner, and, best of all, Dennis Weaver in a small but indelible role as the seedy Mirador Motel’s manic, demented “night man.” Cameos by longtime Welles associate Joseph Cotten, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and the great Marlene Dietrich as the owner of a bordello whose chili “may be too hot for you.” (112 min.)"
