The System is a 1953 American film noir crime film directed by Lewis Seiler and starring Frank Lovejoy, Joan Weldon and Robert Arthur.

Plot

An honest bookmaker discovers the hard way that his line of work is a lot more dangerous than he first thought.

Cast

Reception

When the film was first released, The New York Times' review was brutal. The film critic wrote, "It seems quite appropriate for Warner Brothers' The System, a stultified excursion into contemporary crime, to have opened at the Palace yesterday. The morning weather was drab and depressing. So was the picture ... The sad fact to be faced is that there is not a single thing to recommend The System. The performance of the feminine lead, Joan Weldon, is embarrassing in its inadequacy. Mr. Lovejoy makes an honest effort in a professional way, but the script is such a peachy morass he has no chance. That Lewis Seiler, the director, should fail so is more disappointing when one recalls his memorable Guadalcanal Diary." Forget this fiasco, for it is one of those soggy melodramas that serve only to fill out double bills."[1]

Jean Genet

Jean Genet nel 1983 Jean Genet (Parigi, 19 dicembre 1910 – Parigi, 15 aprile 1986) è stato uno scrittore, drammaturgo e poeta francese, fra i più discussi del Novecento. In lui la vita e l'opera d'arte si intrecciarono profondamente al punto da rendere difficile la distinzione tra episodi inventati ed esperienze realmente vissute dall'autore. Il trionfo di questo atteggiamento è l'autobiografia romanzata del Diario del ladro (1949), in cui Genet racconta la storia di un sé stesso ladro,...
