There’s a huge gap in my knowledge of Siodmak’s work. The only one of
his European films with which I’m familiar is the famous collaboration
Menschen am Sonntag (the first of his films that I saw projected.) One
can already see important aspects of his later work in it, but it is
hardly characteristic of those movies he made that I watched as a child
when they turned up on television. Siodmak was one of the first film
directors whose name I recognized (along with Hitchcock, Welles and
Ford.) Most of his films I’ve only come to lately, but Criss Cross, the
Killers, Thelma Jordan, the Spiral Staircase, Uncle Harry and the
Crimson Pirate are old friends.
