What's Going On (Marvin Gaye, 1971)

Hardly understated, but pretty great.  I love the overall sound.  I think it'd benefit from more listens.  Hard to pick favorite tracks since it sounds so much like a unified thing with different acts.







He Walked by Night (Alfred Werker and Anthony Mann, 1948)

Cool procedural in some ways but the characters seemed so undercooked given the halfhearted attempts to develop them.  It all seemed on point but never really clicked with me until the postapocalyptic sewer finale, which I'd like to imagine is the part Mann directed.
