Episode 225 - Blood On The Moon

November 04, 2023 by Matthew Johnson in action, drama, western

We incorrectly said Robert Wise never directed a western.  Mr. Wise directed these westerns - “Two Flags West” 1950, “Tribute to a Bad Man” 1956, and “Blood on the Moon” 1948.  We apologize for our oversight.  The creativity of Mr. Wise is seen throughout “Blood on the Moon”.

"Crossfire" 1947 deals with anti-Semitism and murder.

The film is based on Richard Brooks's 1945 novel The Brick Foxhole.
