10 TO MIDNIGHT is probably Charles Bronson’s best film from the infamous Cannon Films. It’s a solid police procedural with a slasher twist. It also has a good soundtrack from Robert O. Ragland. When we meet the creepy killer Warren Stacy (Gene Davis) at the beginning of the film, “Look at Me” plays on the soundtrack as he checks himself out in the mirror and goes through the crime in his mind. On Charles Bronson’s 104th birthday, I’ve chosen this as my song of the day!

Brad’s “Scene of the Day” – Charles Bronson & Alan Ladd in DRUM BEAT (1954)! Happy Birthday, Charlie!!
Until 1954’s DRUM BEAT, Charles Bronson had been billed on screen as Charles Buchinsky. He then proceeded to steal the film right out from under star Alan Ladd. Bronson’s powerful performance as renegade Modoc indian Captain Jack is an early sign of Bronson’s immense talent and charisma.
