Robert Siodmak was born on August 8th

Robert Siodmak directed many fine films. I haven’t seen The Suspect but just got it on Blu-ray. Criss Cross is one of the best film noirs. Like many others, it’s about someone who can’t escape their past and who is reluctantly drawn back into it. In this way, it’s similar to my favorite film noir, Out of the Past. Other great Siodmak films are The Killers, Cry of the City and The File on Thelma Jordon. Cobra Woman is bizarre fun. All films I mentioned are an Blu-ray.
