The Clock / Under the Clock (1945 Vincente Minnelli)

Some of it is in New York - the establishing shots of Pennsylvania Station, for example, though they scene where they meet at the escalators was a set.

Lots of long takes are good. It's a very elegantly made film, with Minnelli also liking to be high up, looking down. The DP is George Folsey. Music: George Bassman. MGM.

It's a shame the leads were such unhappy people.


We thought this clock was upside down but in fact it's the 7 that looks so weird.
