1984

Video    Modern Trailer    2020

 

Part of my trailer project

- breathing some new life into older, forgotten or overlooked films.

Mainly to spread awareness of these great films

and hopefully inspire more people to seek them out.

 

Director - Michael Radford

 

Synopsis - In a totalitarian future society, a man,

whose daily work is re-writing history,

tries to rebel by falling in love.

 

The official trailer really just didn't do much for this film

in my opinion.

 

I wanted to at least try to create something

that felt authentic to the film,

something that felt Orwellian and ominous

and gave the feeling of a foreboding future.

[ Al Pacino ] Opposite Diane Keaton early in the film.

 

Michael was a more introspective character

than Pacino would normally take on,

the actor said.

‘THE GODFATHER’ AT 50

Al Pacino on ‘The Godfather’:

‘It’s Taken Me a Lifetime to Accept It and Move On’

Fifty years later,

the actor looks back on his breakthrough role:

how he was cast, why he skipped the Oscars

and what it all means to him now.

Michael Emmet Walsh    USA    1935-2024

 

paunchy and prolific character actor

who was called “the poet of sleaze”

by the critic Roger Ebert

for his naturalistic portrayals

of repellent lowlifes and miscreants

 

(...)

 

The most enduring praise

Mr. Walsh received

also came from Mr. Ebert:

He coined the Stanton-Walsh Rule,

which asserted

that “no movie featuring

either Harry Dean Stanton

or M. Emmet Walsh

in a supporting role

can be altogether bad.”

“Any Which Way You Can” (1980),

“Laredo,”

Arthur Christopher Orme Plummer    Canada    1929-2021

 

His performance

as Captain von Trapp

in one of the mostpopular

movies of all time

propelled a steady half-century

parade of television and film roles.

 

(...)

 

Mr. Plummer’s résumé,

which stretched over seven decades,

was at least colossal, if not nonpareil,

encompassing acting opportunities

from some of dramatic literature’s

greatest works

to some of commercial entertainment’s

crassest exploitations.

 

He embraced it all

with uncanny grace,

or at least professional relish,

displaying a uniform ease

in vanishing

into personalities not his own

— pious or menacing,

benign or malevolent,

stern or mellow

 and a uniform delight

in delivering lines

written by Elizabethan geniuses

and Hollywood hacks.

Cicely Tyson    USA    1924-2021

 

stage, screen and television actress

whose vivid portrayals

of strong African-American women

shattered racial stereotypes

in the dramatic arts of the 1970s,

propelling her to stardom and fame

as an exemplar for civil rights

 

(...)



In a remarkable career

of seven decades,

Ms. Tyson broke ground

for serious Black actors

by refusing to take parts

that demeaned Black people.

 

She urged Black colleagues

to do the same,

and often went without work.

 

She was critical of films

and television programs

that cast Black characters

as criminal, servile or immoral,

and insisted

that African-Americans,

even if poor or downtrodden,

should be portrayed

with dignity.

 

Her chiseled face

and willowy frame,

striking even in her 90s,

became familiar to millions

in more than 100 film,

television and stage roles,

including

some that had traditionally

been given only

to white actors.

 

She won three Emmys

and many awards

from civil rights

and women’s groups,

and at 88 became

the oldest person

to win a Tony,

for her 2013 Broadway role

in a revival of Horton Foote’s

“The Trip to Bountiful.”

Dean Stockwell – a life in pictures

star of Blue Velvet and Quantum Leap, has died aged 85.

We look back at his 76-year career,

Dean Stockwell (...) began

his seven-decade acting career

as a child in the 1940s

and later had key roles in films

including

“A Long Day’s Journey Into Night”

in 1962

and “Blue Velvet” in 1986,

while also making

his mark in television,

most notably

as the cigar-smoking Al Calavicci

on the hit science fiction series

“Quantum Leap,”

 

(...)

 

Mr. Stockwell had

a hot-and-cold relationship

with acting that caused him

to leave show business

for years at a time.

 

But he nonetheless amassed

more than 200

film and television acting credits

from 1945 to 2015,

as well as occasional stage roles.

Maria Grazia Morgana Messina    USA    1930-2018

 

Before March 1972,

Morgana King was known

as a jazz singer

with an impressive vocal range

and an ability

to put a distinctive spin

on an eclectic selection

of songs.

 

But by late that month,

although she remained

an accomplished singer,

millions of moviegoers

thought of her

as Vito Corleone’s wife.

 

Ms. King had never been

in a feature film

before playing Mama Corleone

in “The Godfather,”

which after its release

that month became

one of the most

acclaimed movies of all time.

 

She was in “Godfather II” as well

and had a smattering

of other television and film credits,

but music was always her passion.

spunky but innocent ingénues

in scores of Depression-era films

 

(...)

 

From 1932 to 1939,

when she was

in her late teens and early 20s,

Ms. Carlisle made 50 movies,

including three musicals

opposite Bing Crosby:

 

“College Humor”

(1933),

“Double or Nothing”

(1937)

and “Doctor Rhythm”

(1938).

 

Even in pre-Code films

(those made before censorship

ruled Hollywood studios)

like “Should Ladies Behave”

(1933),

she was more curious than sinful.

Reynolds came to stardom

in Deliverance

and Smokey and the Bandit

in the 1970s

and was still making movies

more than 40 years later.

 

In 1977's

Smokey and the Bandit,

Jackie Gleason

was Smokey the sheriff,

Burt Reynolds was Bandit,

and the plot hinged

on whether Bandit

and a truck-driving pal

could blow through

Smokey's roadblocks

and make the run in 28 hours.

 

The smile, the mustache,

the twinkle in his eye ...

 

without them,

would anyone have buckled up

for that bootlegging run

from Texarkana, Texas,

to Atlanta?

Peter Vaughan (Peter Ewart Ohm)    UK    1923-2016

 

Peter Vaughan (...) was one

of the most distinctive and menacing

of character actors on stage and screen

in a career spanning seven decades

and ranging from West End comedy

to Dickens and Our Friends in the North

on television,

to movies with Frank Sinatra

and Tallulah Bankhead,

and encompassing a string

of unpleasant authority figures.

 

With his bulky figure,

small eyes and prognathous jaw,

he usually played

the type of character

you would not want to bump

into on a dark night

in a darker alley,

even though, in real life,

Vaughan was known

for his conviviality,

kindness to animals

and devotion to his family

 

(...)

 

 his ex- ceptional turn

– uncharacteristically quiet

and intensely moving –

as the old servant,

father to Anthony Hopkins’s

head butler, in James Ivory’s

The Remains of the Day (1993);

an accident with a tea tray

he sends flying

across the garden patio

results in a demotion,

by his own son,

to mops-and-brushes duty.

versatile actor

best known for playing

the role of Radio Raheem,

neighborhood philosopher

killed by police officers

in Spike Lee’s 1989 film

The first major

acting role for Mr. Nunn,

the son of a well-known

professional football scout,

was in the 1988 film

“School Daze,”

also written and directed

by Mr. Lee.

 

The next year brought

the critically acclaimed

“Do the Right Thing,”

in which he played

the iconic Radio Raheem,

who carries a boombox blaring

Public Enemy’s

“Fight the Power”

through the streets

of the Bedford-Stuyvesant

area of Brooklyn

on the hottest day of summer.

Gene Wilder    USA    1933-2016

Gene Wilder (...)

established himself

as one of America’s

foremost comic actors

with his delightfully

neurotic performances

in three films directed

by Mel Brooks;

 

his eccentric star turn

in the family classic

“Willy Wonka

and the Chocolate Factory”;

and his winning chemistry

with Richard Pryor

in the box-office smash

“Stir Crazy”

 

(...)


Mr. Wilder’s rule for comedy

was simple:

Don’t try to make it funny;

try to make it real.

 

“I’m an actor, not a clown,”

he said more than once.

 

With his haunted blue eyes

and an empathy born

of his own history

of psychic distress,

he aspired to touch audiences

much as Charlie Chaplin had.

 

The Chaplin film “City Lights,”

he said, had

“made the biggest impression

on me as an actor;

it was funny, then sad,

then both at the same time.”

Maureen O’Hara     Ireland    1920-2015

 

    (born Maureen FitzSimons)

 

spirited Irish-born actress

who played strong-willed,

tempestuous beauties

opposite all manner of adventurers

in escapist movies

of the 1940s and ’50s

 

(...)

 

Ms. O’Hara was called

the Queen of Technicolor,

because when that film process

first came into use,

nothing seeme

 to show off its splendor

better than her rich red hair,

bright green eyes

and flawless peaches-and-cream

complexion.

 

One critic praised her

in an otherwise negative review

of the 1950 film

“Comanche Territory”

with the sentiment

“Framed in Technicolor,

Miss O’Hara somehow seems

more significant

than a setting sun.”

 

Even the creators of the process

claimed her

as its best advertisement.

 

Yet many of the films

that made the young

Ms. O’Hara a star

were in black and white.

 

They included

her first Hollywood movie,

“The Hunchback of Notre Dame”

(1939),

in which she played

the haunted Gypsy girl Esmeralda

to Charles Laughton’s

Quasimodo;

 

the Oscar-winning

“How Green Was My Valley”

(1941),

in which she was memorable

as a Welsh mining family’s

beautiful daughter

who marries the wrong man;

 

“This Land Is Mine”

(1943),

a war drama

in which she was directed

by Jean Renoir;

 

and “Miracle on 34th Street”

(1947),

the holiday classic

in which she played

a cynical, modern Macy’s executive

who tries to prevent her daughter

from believing in Santa Claus.

Wim Wenders on My Polaroid Friends:

‘I shot The American Friend in Hamburg and Paris.

 

It starred Bruno Ganz and Dennis Hopper

At the time,

Polaroid photographs corresponded

to what you’d now do on your smartphone.

 

I shot my actors during preparation and between scenes.

 

Even in the story, Polaroids were used,

in our case by Dennis Hopper who played Tom Ripley

and who became so much our ‘American Friend’

during the film that we changed its title from Framed’

William Dennis Weaver    USA    1924-2006

 

Dennis Weaver (s')

portrayal of Deputy Chester Goode

in the classic television western

"Gunsmoke"

made him the favorite sidekick

of the early television era

 

(...)

 

The lanky Mr. Weaver

became famous

for his limping deputy

with a drawl,

the buddy  of Marshal Matt Dillon,

a portrayal for which

he won an Emmy in 1959.

 

But he starred

in nine television series.

 

From 1955 to 1964,

he was on "Gunsmoke,"

the longest-running

prime-time drama series

on television.

 

He also starred in "Gentle Ben,"

from 1967 to 1969,

playing Tom Wedloe,

an Everglades ranger

who adopts a black bear

as a pet.

 

He went from nerd

to sex symbol in "McCloud,"

playing Sam McCloud,

a New Mexico deputy marshal

on loan to the New York City police,

who sometimes rode his horse

through the city streets.

 

"McCloud,"

which was broadcast

from 1970 to 1977,

earned him

two Emmy nominations.

 

Mr. Weaver

also had leading roles

in 40 motion pictures,

including

Orson Welles's 1958 film

"Touch of Evil,"

and the 1971 classic

"Duel,"

directed by a young

Steven Spielberg,

made for television

but released theatrically

in Europe.

 

In it he played the prey

of a murderous truck,

with an unseen driver.

on movie-house marquees

from the early 1940’s

through the 60’s

Jocelyn Rickards    1924-2005

 

artist and designer

 

"The new look

in English films is reality,"

declared Pauline Kael in 1961.

 

Much of that look

was created

by Australian-born

costume designer

Jocelyn Rickards,

who dressed

some of the defining

British films of the 1960s

- from Look Back In Anger

to Blowup, not to mention

the classiest

of the Bond series.

 

As films increasingly

left the studios

to explore real locations

- the excited muddle

of central London,

the grime of precarious bohemia -

so Rickards (...) mastered a look

of everyday comfort

and high fashion innovation.

Eldred Gregory Peck    USA    1916-2003

 

Gregory Peck ('s) chiseled,

slightly melancholy good looks,

resonant baritone and quiet strength

made him an unforgettable presence

in films like ''To Kill a Mockingbird,''

''Gentleman's Agreement''

and ''Twelve O'Clock High,''

(...)

 

In a career

that spanned half a century,

Mr. Peck often played

morally anguished heroes

who displayed grace under fire.

 

In his most memorable role,

as Atticus Finch

in the 1962 film

''To Kill a Mockingbird,''

he won the Academy Award

as best actor for his performance

as a gentle Southern lawyer

who incurs the wrath

of his fellow townsfolk

when he defends a black man

accused of raping

a white woman.

 

In this and other movies his persona

as the embodiment of American decency

made him a persuasive advocate

for the liberal candidates and causes

he supported.

Robert Stack    USA    1919-2003

 

 (born Charles Langford Modini Stack)

 

Robert Stack

(...)

won an Emmy

and received

an Oscar nomination

in his 60-year career

in films and television

but was best remembered

as the implacable,

square-jawed Eliot Ness

of the 1959 series

''The Untouchables,''

 

(...)

 

Like that of many actors

of his generation,

Mr. Stack had a career

that was bisected

by World War II.

 

Before the war

he was a supporting performer

in lighter fare, perhaps best known

for delivering the first screen kiss

to the young Deanna Durbin

in his debut,

''First Love,'' in 1939.

 

He also played the Polish aviator

whose affair with Carole Lombard

provides the comic engine

for Ernst Lubitsch's

''To Be or Not to Be'' (1942).

 

But after three years

in the service

he had to struggle

to regain his career footing,

eventually emerging

as a gritty, taciturn leading man

in Budd Boetticher's

''Bullfighter and the Lady'' (1951),

Sam Fuller's

''House of Bamboo'' (1955)

and ''Bwana Devil'' (1952),

the movie that started

the decade's 3-D craze.

James Harrison Coburn    USA    1928-2002

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

rugged actor who reveled

in playing rakish men of action

and slyly humorous villains

and overcame

a debilitating illness

to win an Academy Award

for his performance

in ''Affliction'' in 1998

 

(...)

 

A man of lean good looks,

Mr. Coburn first established

his reputation in

''The Magnificent Seven'' in 1960

and went on to star

in more than 80 movies,

many of them Westerns

and action films, including

''The Great Escape,''

''Charade,''

and ''Our Man Flint.''

 

His lanky body

and Mephistophelean laugh

led directors to type him

as a villain,

and though he became

well known for those roles

he never made it

to the front rank

of Hollywood stars.

Mary Brian    USA    1906-2002

 

 (born Louise Byrdie Dantzler)

 

film star

and memorable ingénue

who bridged the silent

and early sound eras

 

(...)
 

 

Between ''Peter Pan'' in 1924

and ''Dragnet'' in 1947

Ms. Brian appeared

in 82 films.

 

Petite, with blue-gray eyes

and dark-brown curls,

she was one of Hollywood's

romantic leading ladies

from the mid-1920's

through the late 30's.

 

While she did not rank

with superstars like Clara Bow

or Mary Pickford,

she was a bankable

contract player

and a gratifying attraction

at the box office.

 

Her leading men were the likes

of Gary Cooper, Lew Ayres,

James Cagney, Cary Grant,

William Haines, Warner Oland

and Dick Powell.

Hedy Lamarr    Austria, USA    1914-2000

who became one

of the reigning temptresses

in Hollywood films

in the 1930's and 40's,

especially as Delilah vamping

Victor Mature's Samson

 

(...)

 

Miss Lamarr

was forever identified

with ''Ecstasy,''

a 1933 Czech film

in which she appeared nude

in a swimming scene

and in a lovemaking sequence

that was torrid for its time.

 

The film was banned

in many places

in the United States

for a number of years.

 

But even though

most Americans never saw it,

''Ecstasy''

excited their interes

 in the actress

and shaped her career.

Charles Edward "Buddy" Rogers    USA    1904-1999

 

handsome leading man

and band leader

who starred in ''Wings'' (1927),

the first film to win an Academy Award,

and who later married Mary Pickford,

''America's Sweetheart,''

 

(...)

 

Six feet tall, slim

and with brown eyes and black hair,

Mr. Rogers was a versatile musician

whose almost inadvertent screen career

catapulted him to immediate stardom.

 

But in some 35 films

between 1926 and 1957

-- vehicles with titles like

''Fascinating Youth,''

''So's Your Old Man,''

''My Best Girl,''

''Abie's Irish Rose,'' ''Varsity,''

''Dance Band,'' ''Golden Hoofs''

and ''Mexican Spitfire's Baby'' --

he never impressed critics

as more than a pleasant performer.

 

He portrayed pilots,

college boys,

salesmen and lawyers,

but he was best remembered

for his starring role

as an all-American boy

who goes off to fight the Hun

as a member of the Army Air Corps

in William A. Wellman's

classic World War I spectacle,

''Wings,''

whose cast included Richard Arlen,

Clara Bow and Gary Cooper.

 

For his portrayal

of the young airman,

Paramount Pictures

paid Mr. Rogers $65 a week

and gave him

three suits of clothes

as a gift.

 

After seeing him in ''Wings,''

Miss Pickford, one of film's

foremost and wealthiest stars,

asked that he be cast

in her next film,

'My Best Girl.''

 

In that whimsical 1927 film,

she played Maggie Johnson,

a pretty salesgirl

in a 5-and-10-cent store

who captures the heart

of Joe Merrill (Mr. Rogers),

not knowing he is the son

of the owner

of the chain of stores.

 

Miss Pickford,

who had been married

since 1920

to her second husband,

Douglas Fairbanks,

captured Mr. Rogers's

heart off-screen as well,

although they were not married

until 1937,

after Miss Pickford

and Mr. Fairbanks

were divorced.

 

In later years, Mr. Rogers,

who was 11 years younger

than Miss Pickford,

was fond of recalling

that Clark Gable

''once told Mary,

when we got married,

that it wouldn't last

six months.''

 

Their marriage ended only

with Miss Pickford's death at 86

in 1979.

Frederick Martin MacMurray    USA    1908-1991

 

personable, unassuming actor

who starred

in some of the best film comedies

of the 1930's and 40's

and was later the protagonist

in popular Walt Disney fantasies

and the television situation comedy

"My Three Sons,"

 

(...)

 

Reviewers repeatedly praised

the charm, credibility

and spontaneity

of the 6-foot-3-inch-tall,

pipe-smoking former saxophonist

who had never studied acting.

 

He had a good-guy image

in nearly 80 films,

but his most noted roles

were cads -- a passion-crazed

murderer

in "Double Indemnity"

(1944)

and "Pushover"

(1954),

a deceitful Navy lieutenant

in "The Caine Mutiny"

(1954)

and an exploitative philanderer

in "The Apartment"

(1960).

Barbara Stanwyck    USA    1907-1990

 

luminous star

of such classic movies

as ''Stella Dallas,''

''The Lady Eve''

and ''Double Indemnity''

and the award-winning

western television series

''The Big Valley,''

 

(...)

 

The actress played

a rich mix of characterizations

in more than 80 films

but developed

a distinctive image

as a gutsy, self-reliant

and self-assured woman

whose husky voice

and cool exterior

usually masked a warm heart.

 

She was a tough-talking

but vulnerable mother

in ''Stella Dallas''

(1937),

a slang-slinging showgirl

in ''Ball of Fire''

(1941),

a lurid blonde who orchestrates

her husband's murder

in ''Double Indemnity''

(1944)

and a bedridden neurotic

who learns

from telephone quirks

that she is marked for murder

in ''Sorry, Wrong Number''

(1948).

Charles Farrell    USA    1900-1990

 

gentle-mannered actor

whose career spanned

four decades,

ranging from silent films to talkies

to the 1950's television series

''My Little Margie,''

 

(...)

 

An athletic six-footer,

he gained fame

as the romantic lead

in ''Seventh Heaven'' (1927).

 

The Times critic Mordaunt Hall

said that he was ''splendid''

in that role,

playing opposite Janet Gaynor.

 

''Sometimes he may seem

to be a little too swaggering,

but what of it?''

Mr. Hall observed.

 

''The actions

suit the young man's

agreeable bombast.

You find that you like him.''

 

The Seventh Heaven

in the silent film

was the walk-up Parisian garret

where Mr. Farrell,

playing an impecunious laborer,

made his home.

 

Mr. Farrell and Miss Gaynor

then co-starred in a series

of other film romances.

 

For seven years

they were movieland's

leading on-screen

romantic couple.

 

Then his movie career waned.

 

His film work included

serious as well as romantic roles

in such films as

''Wings of Youth'' (1925),

''Sandy'' (1926),

''The Rough Riders'' (1927), '

'Aggie Appleby'' (1933),

''Fighting Youth'' (1935)

and ''The Deadly Game'' (1942).

 

He retired from films

in the 1940's.

 

In television

he turned to comedy,

starring as a widowed father

in more than 100 installments

of ''My Little Margie,''

which was widely popular.

Mary Louise Brooks    USA    1906-1985

 

Miss Brooks's films

included two early masterpieces

made by Georg Wilhelm Pabst,

the German director, in 1929

- ''Pandora's Box,''

in which she played

the amoral temptress Lulu,

and ''Diary of a Lost Girl,''

where she was cast

in the role of a middle-class

girl of 16 who is seduced.

 

The 21-year-old American dancer

from Cherryvale, Kan.,

was chosen to play Lulu in Berlin

over several German actresses,

including Marlene Dietrich.

 

She had left Hollywood in 1928

after B. P. Schulberg,

the Paramount executive,

had turned down her request

for a raise.

 

Among her Hollywood films were

''American Venus'' (1926),

''The Show-Off'' (1926),

''Evening Clothes'' (1927),

''Rolled Stockings'' (1927)

and ''A Girl in Every Port'' (1928).

 

When she returned from Germany,

her disputes

with the Hollywood executives

continued

and she appeared only

in minor roles

- in ''God's Gift to Women'' (1931)

and ''The Public Enemy'' (1931),

among others.

 

Her last film was

''Overland Stage Riders'' (1938),

a John Wayne western.

Sterling Walter Hayden    USA    1916-1986

 

 (born Sterling Relyea Walter)

 

handsome blond actor

who played wholesome

leading-man movie roles

in the 1940's and 1950's

and later weathered

into a rough-hewn solid

character actor in films such as

''Dr. Strangelove''

and ''The Godfather,''

 

(...)

 

He made more than 50 movies,

beginning with ''Virginia'' in 1941,

but his abiding love was the sea.

 

He owned a schooner in California

and a 100-foot,

Netherlands-based canal barge

he used all over Europe.

 

The strapping,

6-foot-5-inch Mr. Hayden,

who made a notable impression

with his acting in John Huston's

''Asphalt Jungle'' (1950),

in which he appeared

as a doomed petty hoodlum,

found it difficult

to subjugate his love for the sea

to his need to make a living

as an actor.

 

(...)

 

He wrote of his obsessive

fascination with the sea

in a 1963 autobiography,

''Wanderer,''

in which he also said

he would never be able

to erase the guilt he felt

over his testimony, in 1951,

before the House Committee

on Un-American Activities.

 

Mr. Hayden had admitted

past membership

in the Communist Party

and named several

of his Hollywood acquaintances

as fellow travelers.

 

He was praised by the committee

as ''an intensely loyal citizen,''

and thus avoided

being blacklisted in Hollywood.

George O'Brien    USA    1899-1985

 

George O'Brien

(...)

acted in 75 films,

including the westerns

''Fort Apache''

and John Ford's

''Iron Horse,''

 

(...)

 

He began his film career

in the early 20's,

when a friend introduced him

to Tom Mix, a star of Westerns.

 

Mr. Mix hired Mr. O'Brien

as an assistant cameraman

at $15 a week.

 

Eventually

Mr. O'Brien moved into jobs

as a stuntman and extra,

including one that called

for him to be knocked

by Rudolph Valentino

from the rigging of ship

into the sea.

 

In 1924, Mr. O'Brien was chosen

for his first starring role,

in ''The Iron Horse.''

 

One of his most acclaimed roles

was in the silent film ''Sunrise,''

which also starred Janet Gaynor.

 

During the 1920's and 30's,

he worked with some

of the biggest names in Hollywood,

including Mary Astor, Wallace Beery,

Douglas Fairbanks Jr., William Powell

and Myrna Loy.

 

After World War II,

he appeared

in a number of Western epics,

including ''Fort Apache,''

with John Wayne,

Henry Fonda and Shirley Temple,

and ''She Wore a Yellow Ribbon,''

also with Mr. Wayne.

 

His last film was

Mr. Ford's ''Cheyenne Autumn,''

in 1964.

Richard Burton    UK    1925-1984

 

 

 

 

1984

Video    Modern Trailer    2020

 

Part of my trailer project

- breathing some new life into older, forgotten or overlooked films.

Mainly to spread awareness of these great films

and hopefully inspire more people to seek them out.

 

Director - Michael Radford

 

Synopsis - In a totalitarian future society, a man,

whose daily work is re-writing history,

tries to rebel by falling in love.

 

The official trailer really just didn't do much for this film

in my opinion.

 

I wanted to at least try to create something

that felt authentic to the film,

something that felt Orwellian and ominous

and gave the feeling of a foreboding future.

Warren Mercer Oates    USA    1928-1982

 

character actor who appeared

in ''Easy Rider,''

''In the Heat of the Night''

and ''Dillinger''

 

(...)

 

Mr. Oates, who began his career

in ''Have Gun, Will Travel''

on television, was frequently cast

in character roles.

 

In the early 60's,

he played a rodeo rider

on the ''Stoney Burke''

series with Jack Lord

and Bruce Dern

and, in 1980, starred

in the television movie

''My Old Man''

with Kristy McNichol

and Eileen Brennan.

 

His other television films

Mr. Oates, who frequently

appeared in westerns,

said in an interview:

 

''I want to be like Ben Johnson.

 

Not just Ben Johnson

on the screen,

but Ben Johnson

in every aspect of his life.

 

He's a straight, wonderful,

natural performer.

 

He's a purist.''

Still Duke, With Cracks

NYT

October 4, 2013

movies/still-duke-with-cracks.html

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In more than 200 films

made over 50 years,

John Wayne saddled up

to become the greatest figure

of one of America's

greatest native art forms,

the Western.

 

The movies he starred in

rode the range from

out-of-the-money

sagebrush quickies

to such classics

as "Stagecoach"

and "Red River."

 

He won an Oscar as best actor

for another western, "True Grit,"

in 1969.

 

Yet some of the best films he made

told stories far from the wilds

of the West, such as

"The Quiet Man"

and

"The Long Voyage Home."

— Richard F. Shepard / NYT

Robert Bushnell Ryan    USA    1909-1973

 

The husky rugged actor's

renown was anchored

in some 90 motion pictures

in which he appeared

over the last 30 years.

 

He considered

only four or five of them

to be any good,

he said in an interview

a couple of years ago.

 

His favorite was “The SetUp,”

which was released in 1949

and in which he played the role

of Stoker Thompson,

an aging but determined pugilist.

 

He also esteemed “Crossfire,”

a 1947 movie in which

he portrayed a bigoted marine

who kills a Jewish  war veteran.

 

The depiction was

“frighteningly real,”

the critic for

The New York Times wrote.

Wong’s career stretched

from silent cinema

through the talkies

and the golden age

of Hollywood, to TV.

 

Her first lead role was

in the 1922 Technicolor film

The Toll of the Sea,

and she went on

to appear alongside

Douglas Fairbanks

and Marlene Dietrich.

 

On the small screen

she starred in the first US TV show

to have an Asian American lead.

 

She was always captivating

on camera: in her best roles

she is deadly serious,

with a provocative air

of jazz-age cool.
