Jules Dassin: Director

 

One of my favorite directors and one of the directors I discovered on Criterion DVD from the library. He was blacklisted and forced to work outside of the U.S. I have several of those Criterion DVDs now. Listening to Xander Berkeley on The Movies That Made Me podcast at Trailers From Hell and they mentioned Rififi.

Sandwich of the Day: Ham and Salami

 

Normally I would have gotten some provolone and made more of an Italian sandwich but I had to give up cheese for a while. I've been eating nothing but turkey so I needed something different.
