Another slain by Time, assassin

by Backthrow
Hollywood Bureau

Sad news to report, of the passin'
Of world-class director, Jules Dassin
Brute Force through Topkapi
Not one of them crappy
New viewers: my seatbelt I'd fasten!

  1. Defamed in obit by AP
    As commie, a Red, and lefty
    Whose writers insist
    On reviving blacklist
    And won’t let the dead R.I.P.

  2. You say Top-Cappy, I say Tup-Copy…don't listen to me. When I was a kid I thought that you pronounced "Sub-Mariner" as if he had a periscope.

  3. Ol' Doc Seuss was really Ted Geisel
    This info I got from a wise old
    Guy known as Goldie
    Who also told me
    That misled should be said as misled

  4. Take Dassin’s dark Night and the City
    A view of mankind that ain’t pretty
    Brute Force is the same
    A brutal con game
    These noirs posit world, nitty gritty
