MIDEAST CRISIS

Today's Zero Mostel film (festival, remember?) was

Sirocco (1951)

with Humphrey Bogart and Lee J. Cobb,

Mostel does his obsequious guy routine. He is pretty good.

But not good enough to overlook the quality of the film which is pretty low.

It is pulp for the eyes.

Bogart plays an anti-hero.

It is OK.

I wanted to see the range of Mostel's career and he was in some stinkers.

This is one.

I got a great photo out of it though. Unaccountably, Wikipedia had this one in his profile.
