And that's it. Help me out - recommend some good 1943 films!

I haven't seen anything from '43 that's especially worthwhile, but my favorite is So Proudly We Hail!. Pretty hard hitting stuff about battlefield nurses in WW2. Veronica Lake goes for a meaty dramatic role and nails it pretty well, but the understated star is Claudette Colbert holding it all together.

 My fav Visconti, his debut after working closely with Jean Renoir as his assistant, adapting the Postman Always Rings Twice a few years before the famous John Garfield version. Largely considered the first pic of Italian neorealism, not to mention influenced by French poetic realism and American film noir. Took very, very long for this to find its due - Mussolini tried to completely destroy the negatives early on, and James M Cain's publishers (bc they never got the rights to the novel) refused it release in the US; so the American public didn't get to see this until 1977..... |

Outside of what you've seen, Jane Eyre is where it's at -- Fontaine and Welles are so good together. I Walked with a Zombie and The Seventh Victim are classics in the horror genre. Heaven Can Wait is also worth checking out. I haven't seen The Song of Bernadette, Madame Curie or Hitler's Children in aggggges, but I remember the performances being really good, and I give Bonita Granville a win for the latter.
