, a british freighter which sails from the tropics on a long and adventurous voyage through the dangerous waters of a war zone to her home port. the ill - fated ship carries a cargo of dynamite and a crew of men who, with no shore leave during the voyage, experience a dramatic range of human emotion and offer a tragic character study, as directed by that genius of character portrayal in motion pictures, john ford famed especially for his

the film was adapted by dudley nichols from the plays the moon of the caribbees, in the zone, bound east for cardiff, and the long voyage home by eugene o' neill. the original plays by eugene o' neill were written around the time of world war i and were among his earliest plays. ford set the story for the motion picture, however, during world war ii.

bound east for cardiff implied that the sea could punish thoughts of rebellion, potential acts of will such as yank’s desire to find a home on land. there, however, the stronger conception was that the sea was kind to those who, without thought, live along the lines of force her strength laid down. in the long voyage home, the conception of the sea as avenger is primary, but in describing the sea’s punishment of rebellion, o’neill fell back on the somewhat mechanical plotting that had characterized his plays of' ironic fate.' ” (8 )

mr. ford has ever been noted for his muscular realism on the screen, for the rich and authentic flavor with which he imbues his films. and in the long voyage home he has had an exceptional opportunity to exercise not only his talents but also his avowed affections. for the story is that of the tough crew of the british tramp freighter glencairn on a present - day voyage from the west indies, via an american port, to london in a rusty old tub loaded deep with highly explosive ammunition. and the loose and unresolved plot concerns the characters and reactions of the men in the face of lurking danger and their various bewildered impulses. given a theme of this sort, mr. ford is a man inspired .

although the o' neill plays were written separately and with only the same characters and locale to give them unity, mr. ford and his scenarist, dudley nichols, have pulled them together handsomely. from the moon of the caribbees they have taken their departure—the departure of the s. s. glencairn and its lusty, rum - soaking crew—and proceeded on through the dramatic incidents contained in bound east for cardiff, in the zone, and, eventually, the poignant episode of frustration presented in the long voyage home. if the film does lack a conventional dramatic pattern, it is mainly because of this episodic construction. and this lack may be disturbing to some .
but first he was to explore most of the photographic ideas that would distinguish' citizen kane' in john ford' s the long voyage home, a somber story about merchant seamen caught up in the opening days of world war ii. toland told ford of his desire to achieve a quality of realism that was lacking in the prevailing styles of cinematography; very deep, sharply limned images, he believed, would more nearly approximate what the eye sees in real life than the shallower, shifting focus normally used. and he explained that the lighting of interiors would be more realistic if it were done mostly from the floor instead of from the rafters high above where ceilings should be. the sets therefore should have full ceilings. it was customary at the time to use matte paintings when it was necessary to show ceilings, with the lighting coming with seeming impossibility from higher up. toland' s ceilings were made of muslin so they wouldn' t interfere with sound recording and the microphones were boomed above the ceilings, which allowed them to be placed closer to the actors for better dialogue reproduction and avoided the danger of mike shadows getting into camera range.' the long voyage home' was too downbeat to be popular with the public, but lovers of photography were enchanted .
finally, on february 20, 1503, da gama and his crew began to make their way home. they reached portugal on october 11 of that year .
in toland' s early work, in films such as' les misérables',' dead end',' wuthering heights',' intermezzo',' the grapes of wrath', and' the long voyage home', he consciously rejected the soft focus, one - plane depth of the established hollywood house style and strove for a more jarring, razor - sharp black - and - white, employing recent advances in photography that included the use of high - powered technicolor arc lamps for black - and - white productions, super xx film stock [ a 1938 kodak stock four times faster than its previous stock without any increase in graininess ], lens coating [ to cut down on glare ] and self - blimped cameras [ permitting filming in confined spaces ].' the long voyage home' is a milestone in the evolution of toland' s technical experimentation, enlisting high contrast black - and - white film, deep focus [ with foreground, middle - ground, and background all in sharp focus ], the self - blimped camera, ceilinged sets, low - angle lighting, shots composed into light sources and germanic expressionism .
john wayne once told biographer maurice zolotow :
usually it would be mr. ford [ john ford ] who helped the cinematographer get his compositions for maximum effect... but in this case it was gregg toland who helped mr. ford.' long voyage' is about as beautifully photographed a movie as there ever has been .

eugene o’neill’s fortunes began to change when the literary magazine the smart set, edited by george jean nathan and h. l. mencken, published the long voyage home in their october 1917 issue. he’d received his first substantial pay from writing when in june of that year the magazine, the seven arts, bought his short story titled “tomorrow” for $ 50. (1) then, the washington square players programmed his play in the zone on the first bill of their new season; significant was that this organization was now paying royalties to playwrights, unlike the provincetown players. of o’neill’s four new “sea plays, ” three utilized the same ship, s. s. glencairn, and the same company of characters with minor additions and subtractions, many of whom had appeared in bound east for cardiff. these three plays were the long voyage home, in the zone and the moon of the caribbees. in spite of their obvious connections, o’neill never intended to have them performed together, nor is there any connecting narrative between them. he explained his choice of continuing characters and vessel in a letter to a magazine publisher in 1917: “i have used members of the same crew throughout [ the cycle ], because judging from my own experience as a sailor, i thought i had... picked out the typical mixed crew of the average british tramp steamer. ” (2 )

the ss glencairn is a british cargo ship in port in the west indies in the spring of 1940. the men complain about lack of shore leave, but they soon find out that they will have to carry a cargo of ammunition from baltimore to london, right through the german war zone. ole (wayne) is a swedish sailor who wants nothing more than to take his wages, go home to sweden, and see his mother again. smitty (hunter) is an englishman who has some kind of dark secret. driscoll (mitchell) is an old salt who is determined that ole will in fact go home, rather than blowing his money on drink once they reach port. but before ole can go home, they have to make a highly dangerous voyage through waters being patrolled by the german kriegsmarine and luftwaffe .

out of eugene o' neill' s four short plays of the sea, and under the haunting title of one, the long voyage home, john ford has truly fashioned a modern odyssey—a stark and tough - fibered motion picture which tells with lean economy the never - ending story of man' s wanderings over the waters of the world in search of peace for his soul. it is not a tranquilizing film, this one which walter wanger presented at the rivoli theatre last night; it is harsh and relentless and only briefly compassionate in its revelation of man' s pathetic shortcomings. but it is one of the most honest pictures ever placed upon the screen; it gives a penetrating glimpse into the hearts of little men and, because it shows that out of human weakness there proceeds some nobility, it is far more gratifying than the fanciest hero - worshiping fare .
one of the many surprises in the dutch scholar hans bak’s generous selection of cowley’s letters, the long voyage (very long, at eight hundred pages, though representing only a fraction of cowley’s epistolary output), is how seriously cowley, a poet and critic best known for his championing of lonely american eccentrics from hawthorne and whitman to kerouac and ken kesey, embraced movements such as dada and its exotic outgrowth of surrealism, before committing himself to communism. “the communist adventure itself is one of surrealism’s unlikeliest non - sequiturs, ” john ashbery once wrote. but for cowley, dada always had a political, even revolutionary edge. from the vantage point of dada, the established world had “to be fought, insulted, or mystified, ” he insisted .

john ford welded four of eugene o' neill' s one - act plays about the sea, bound east for cardiff, the long voyage home, the zone, and moon of the caribees, into this melancholy film about wayfaring seamen, changing the setting from the turn of the century to wwii. this was o' neill' s favorite of the films based on his work, and he watched it often enough to eventually wear out his print. after a night of revelry in the west indies, the crew of the ss glencairn return to the tramp steamer and set sail for baltimore. they' re a varied lot, from middle - aged irishman driscoll (thomas mitchell), to the young swedish ex - farmer ole olsen (john wayne), to the brooding lord jim - like englishman smitty (ian hunter). after the ship picks up a load of dynamite in baltimore, the rough seas they encounter become especially nerve - racking to the crew, who are also concerned that smitty might be a german spy .

critically acclaimed as the best film adaptation of one of eugene o' neill' s classics, the walter wanger produced and john ford directed movie the long voyage home stands as one of hollywood' s best dramatic creations. ned scott saved a number of items from the movie production along with some of his favorite photographs. these include portraits of american artists who painted scenes from the production process, something hollywood producers had never done before. scott also photographed a few of their paintings as well. walter wanger exhibited these paintings in art galleries around the nation to promote the movie. many publications of the day immortalized this new feature in hollywood movie making in their respective papers and magazines. american artists magazine, issue september 1940, is the most complete discussion of the effort. here the magazine article is displayed along with scott' s portraits of the artists and his photographs of some of their paintings. these are followed by scott' s still photographs from the film .
but the very essence of the theme lies exactly in its inconclusiveness, in deliberate fumbling onward toward a goal which is never reached, toward a peace which is never attained. yank, the iron - muscled pal of the irishman, driscoll, dies at sea, but even in death he dreams of the land. smitty, the outcast aristocrat, goes to his doom with a defiant gesture at the world which has overpowered him. driscoll is lost to another ship, and the remaining members of the glencairn' s crew—with the exception of olson, who does go home—creep back to sea after a spree in london. in the end, they are mother carey' s chickens, and the only home they can ever know is the restless deep .
ambitious, exciting and memorable, the voyage home, being the fourth installment further the increasing quality in storytelling in the series, and is another good sequel that is directed yet again by actor leonard nimoy. nimoy' s direction is terrific and bring some much needed depth to the plot that makes it that much more enjoyable. there are hints of humor strewn throughout the film, and it complements the thrills and action perfectly. there are plenty of improvements in this entry, most notably the film' s special effects and more layed back tone. i feel that the filmmakers were much more confident with this release, and it shows on - screen. the story is good, and the cast deliver some good performances. i really was surprised by this one, and like i said, it' s an entertaining science fiction picture worth seeing, and it' s a well crafted affair that is sure to delight fans. nimoy does impressive behind the camera, and he helped make two outstanding films in the film adaptations of the classic tv show. it' s rare for a fourth film in a series to be entertaining, but in the case of the voyage home, it' s a highly engaging film going experience that manages to be amusing for a good two hours of entertainment. there are aspects that could have been improved upon, but overall, it' s a solid sequel worth seeing and it' s one that stands out among the franchise' s very best films. this is a different type of star trek film, and it works well on many levels. with good performances, a well thought out story, and good direction, the voyage home continues the quality of good films in the series. this is one of the better movies i' ve seen, and though a bit different, is a refreshing idea that is thoroughly engaging .
the hyperbole means that hardly any rainbow in the sky could reach the same height as the span of the arches of the aqueducts. burman suggested that
they' re also concerned that smitty might be a german spy because he' s secretive. after they force smitty to show them his letters from home it turns out that smitty is an alcoholic who has run away from his family. when they near port, a german plane attacks the ship, killing smitty in a burst of machine gun fire. the rest of the crew members decide not to sign on for another voyage on the glencairn and go ashore, determined to help ole return to his family in sweden, whom he has not seen in ten years .
the sox, who had looked to be in such danger during their high - risk, long - odds comeback, in truth dominated their old rivals shockingly toward the end, when the last huge sounds from the yankee bleacherites came with a flurry of thrown bottles and debris late in the schilling game. alex rodriguez, trying to beat out an infield bouncer, had slapped the ball
there is always something very intimate in a john ford film; it stems from a familiar naturalness in the people that inhabit his stories. i think that’s what makes many of his films, including the long voyage, so damn good. he is, in essence, a straight - forward story teller. he doesn’t play with the camera very often, moving it just to move it. on the other hand, he has some of the most memorable shots in cinema – mostly of the southwest; here, though, he has the immensely talented gregg toland shooting in the shadows of a grimy old ship and making use of deep - focus to give the film a melancholy, almost claustrophobic feel .
in the past four years, we have also encountered grave challenges. as a chinese saying goes, nothing in the world is difficult, as long as you put your heart into it. even the himalaya mountains can be climbed and the baltic sea can be crossed. china - sweden relations have weathered the test of times and rolled on with constant progress .
( 1940). nonetheless, the film received seven academy award nominations: best picture, best screenplay, best black and white cinematography, best editing, best score, best sound and best visual effects. ford was so proud of the film that he displayed stills from it on the walls of his home .

the red sox managed four errors the next night as well, but were never threatened in the course of a 4 - 2 win, behind their patched - together ace curt schilling, and the cardinals, with a famous offensive lineup, brought home but one lone run in the third game and none at all in the last. albert pujols, the cards’ next hall of famer, made some dandy plays in the series and hit a little, but to small avail, and the family - crowd scarlet - garbed home cardinal rooters fell into museumlike silences. derek lowe, a towering, down - on - his - luck red sox veteran, had lost his starter’s slot late in the year, from ineffectuality, but, reluctantly called upon in the post - season after attrition had worn out the other boston arms, he magically rediscovered his sinker, here throwing seven innings of three - hit, shutout ball and coming home with the win. lowe had also terminated the yankees with one hit in six innings in that prior finale, on two days’ rest. an upcoming free agent this year, he is emotional and realistic in equal parts, and beneath the beard and clenched concentration on his long face you could see the excitement struggling to break free as the outs and innings rolled by. “games like this can make or break your so - called career, ” he had said, and with these two outings alone he is believed to have improved his value on the market by eight or ten million dollars .

georges schreiber as born in brussels, belgium, in 1904. he experienced four long years of the horrors of world war before he could begin his career as an artist. he came to american and became a citizen of the united states as quickly as the law permitted. he is now one of america' s most talented painters and illustrators .
a day later, i had to come home from fenway park to take care of another post - season cold and recover from the five - hour, twelve - inning game four, which had concluded at one - twenty in the morning with a two - run walk - off home run smacked by, who else, david ortiz. no bloop or feeble bouncer in these meetings failed to matter now—certainly not the uncharacteristic ball four thrown by mariano rivera to kevin millar to start the bottom of the ninth of that game. with the yanks standing at 4 - 3, and three outs away from another world series, francona inserted his jackrabbit, dave roberts, as a pinch - runner: the exact task, almost the very inning, for which he’d been hired. away he flew on a terrific first - pitch jump—barely safe as jorge posada’s peg bent a fraction to the left—and here he came, home in a flash, as mueller’s single nipped past mariano’s reflexive stab. we were tied, and this evening and perhaps this series still in early days .

replaced his ancestral home with but a humble abode: his virtue took either lot as equal. the man' s unvanquished mind regards small things as great; for to his spirit great things once had been but small. a petty farm used to contain the conquerors of kings, and a few acres yielded men like cincinnatus .
delayed by a day, this game was the 19 - 8 disaster at the hands of the yankees, and the worst boston drubbing ever suffered in a post - season. it was riveting for the wrong reasons, like hideki matsui’s thirteen total bases—a single, two doubles, and two homers—and only later, after the sox had begun their long journey back, could the fans dig through the avalanche site and find tiny hints there of better things ahead. for manager terry francona, the main event was tim wakefield’s offer to pitch amid the wreckage, pitch out of the pen—a sacrificial three and a third innings that cost him his start in the next game but probably saved the sox pitching for the rest of the distance .
after four years, the scenery, people and life in this country have become so familiar and intimate. this beautiful country always shimmers with unique charm, no matter it is long sunny summer days or winter polar nights. when the fireworks lit the clear night sky in central stockholm on every new year eve, we are reminded of the beauty of exchanges and integration among different cultures and civilizations .
a significant salute to grant wood by argosy productions and walter wanger :
grant wood is unquestionably one of america' s greatest contemporary artists. born and raised in iowa, this quiet, modest and scholarly man still maintains his studios close by the university of iowa where he is a professor. after being the sole support for his family at the age of ten, wood began his art stuidies in cedar rapids, then went to chicago art institute and later studied abroad. after serving as a camouflage artist with the u. s. army in world war i, wood developed a rugged styleof painting which he has completely reversed to become the foremost realist of his day. wood creates but two or three pantings a year and only one of his canvasses remains outside a museum or private collection. more than any other artist wood has the ability to capture the simple and spiritual qualities of american of the soil and his

the crew of the enterprise return to earth to find it under siege from a mysterious probe trying to communicate with the now extinct humpback whale and so travel back in time to 1980s los angeles to find some whales and save earth' s atmosphere from destruction. as you can tell from the extremely hokey premise, the voyage home is star trek with tongue placed firmly in cheek and is the closest the series skirted to outright comedy. there are plenty of laughs to be had in the culture clash between our old favourites from the crew and 80s l. a. and each member of the team gets their moment in the sun with some affectionate fun - poking and knockabout farce with a heavy handed but sincere eco message attached. it works better as humour than drama as the plot has holes you could sail a nuclear wessel through and the story itself becomes overly drawn out and a little dull when the jokes are put on the back burner for the finale, but it' s still an entertaining exercise in camp that fans of the original series cannot fail to enjoy. very silly but lots of fun .
