Storyline:And he filmed he final fatal confrontation and shoot-out sequence in the sweltering heat of Death Valley under the very harshest conditions.(It was met with rave reviews in Europe, and won Best Picture at the Brussels Film Festival).It was completely un-nominated for Academy Awards -- bypassed by the Academy that instead gave Best Picture honors to he frothy, somewhat distasteful musical tale ofGigi (1958)(with a record nine Oscar wins), about a young woman trained to be a courtesan of a wealthy suitor.On the veranda of the club, four men are seated playing bridge.One of them [later identified as John Strangways (Tim Moxon)] rises and excuses himself o make a regularly-scheduled appointment, walking out onto the driveway of the club and passing the three blacks seen earlier.During her exploration of the empty house, she grabbed a large butcher knife in an open kitchen drawer for protection.Their exasperating conversation, embedded with conflict, is a classic screwball conversation:David: Well, you don""t understand - this ismycar!Susan: You mean,thisis your car?David: Of course.
