"Mildred Pierce" is a good example where both book and movie are terrific, but they have different endings.

Wages of Fear is one of the best movies of all time. It's about greed and betrayal. Very similar to Treasure of Sierra Madre.

Agree about Bruce. The whole concept for this record has a huge "PBS Fund raising" vibe.

Hard disagree -- Bruce does a stellar job on "Nightshift" which I think is a terrific song.
