the spanish civil war offers a fresh and compelling background for ah unusual love story in
the angel wore red ,
but most of the possibilities inherent in the theme are nullified by the screen play' s questionable taste. view full article in timesmachine »
on the following sunday there was communion. karen looked first at the black shoes, then at the red ones - looked at the red ones again, and put them on .
definitely one of the more obscure films of ava gardner' s career, the angel wore red (1960) was barely given a theatrical release by mgm and has rarely been shown on television. as variety declared :
contains some philosophical merit, but just not box office stuff .
civil war just begun in a nameless spanish city, fascist bands hunting the newly - ex priest arturo (dirk bogarde), who has turned to a surprised soledad (ava gardner), who evidently works as an escort, whom he met in a bomb shelter earlier that day, in the angel wore red, 1960. >
hawthorne (joseph cotten) informs his editor that war has come to his nameless spanish city, soledad (ava gardner) makes her first appearance, with newly - ex priest aturo (dirk bogarde), while his superiors (finlay currie, aldo fabrizi) make emergency plans, in the angel wore red, 1960. >
we’d love your help. let us know what’s wrong with this preview of clockwork angel by cassandra clare .
and then she confessed all her sin, and the executioner struck off her feet with the red shoes; but the shoes danced away with the little feet across the field into the deep forest .
[ and you know when the angel suddenly came to life to protect her? that. was. epic. (hide spoiler) ]
yes, they do shine ,
said karen. they fitted her, and were bought. but the old lady knew nothing of their being red, for she would never have allowed karen to be confirmed in red shoes, as she was now to be .
and all the people inside looked at karen' s red shoes, and all the figures gazed at them; when karen knelt before the altar and put the golden goblet to her mouth, she thought only of the red shoes. it seemed to her as though they were swimming about in the goblet, and she forgot to sing the psalm, forgot to say the
lord' s prayer .
one day the queen was travelling through that part of the country, and had her little daughter, who was a princess, with her. all the people, amongst them karen too, streamed towards the castle, where the little princess, in fine white clothes, stood before the window and allowed herself to be stared at. she wore neither a train nor a golden crown, but beautiful red morocco shoes; they were indeed much finer than those which the shoemaker' s wife had sewn for little karen. there is really nothing in the world that can be compared to red shoes !
a most unusual combination of classic italian red bitter liqueur, bianco vermouth, crème de menthe and lager combine brilliantly in this refreshing aperitif .
mercy !
cried karen. but she did not hear what the angel answered, for the shoes carried her through the gate into the fields, along highways and byways, and unceasingly she had to dance .
karen received the shoes and wore them for the first time on the day of her mother' s funeral. they were certainly not suitable for mourning; but she had no others, and so she put her bare feet into them and walked behind the humble coffin .
now, i have suffered enough for the red shoes ,
she said ;
i will go to church, so that people can see me .
and she went quickly up to the church - door; but when she came there, the red shoes were dancing before her, and she was frightened, and turned back .
don' t cut off my head !
said karen ,
for then i could not repent of my sin. but cut off my feet with the red shoes .
people have been swearing up and down that the ending part of clockwork angel is where things finally getting good. but all i can see is the shadowhunters falling into the bad guy' s trap foolishly and conveniently so will can rush in for the rescue at the last minute. what a poorly designed plot twist !
the organ played and the children' s voices in the choir sounded soft and lovely. the bright warm sunshine streamed through the window into the pew where karen sat, and her heart became so filled with it, so filled with peace and joy, that it broke. her soul flew on the sunbeams to heaven, and no one was there who asked after the red shoes .
everybody looked at her feet, and the whole of the way from the church door to the choir it seemed to her as if even the ancient figures on the monuments, in their stiff collars and long black robes, had their eyes fixed on her red shoes. it was only of these that she thought when the clergyman laid his hand upon her head and spoke of the holy baptism, of the covenant with god, and told her that she was now to be a grown - up christian. the organ pealed forth solemnly, and the sweet children' s voices mingled with that of their old leader; but karen thought only of her red shoes. in the afternoon the old lady heard from everybody that karen had worn red shoes. she said that it was a shocking thing to do, that it was very improper, and that karen was always to go to church in future in black shoes, even if they were old .
at the church door stood an old crippled soldier leaning on a crutch; he had a wonderfully long beard, more red than white, and he bowed down to the ground and asked the old lady whether he might wipe her shoes. then karen put out her little foot too .
i don' t think clockwork angel is the most horrible book which i have ever read - - it isn' t, the action scenes and part of the plots are enjoyable to an extent. but oh boy, clare' s writing and her characters annoy me, the book as a whole annoys the freaking hell out of me, here' re the reasons :
now the old lady fell ill, and it was said that she would not rise from her bed again. she had to be nursed and waited upon, and this was no one' s duty more than karen' s. but there was a grand ball in the town, and karen was invited. she looked at the red shoes, saying to herself that there was no sin in doing that; she put the red shoes on, thinking there was no harm in that either; and then she went to the ball; and commenced to dance .
but when she wanted to go to the right, the shoes danced to the left, and when she wanted to dance up the room, the shoes danced down the room, down the stairs through the street, and out through the gates of the town. she danced, and was obliged to dance, far out into the dark wood. suddenly something shone up among the trees, and she believed it was the moon, for it was a face. but it was the old soldier with the red beard; he sat there nodding his head and said :
dear me, what pretty dancing shoes !
one morning she danced past a door that she knew well; they were singing a psalm inside, and a coffin was being carried out covered with flowers. then she knew that she was forsaken by every one and damned by the angel of god .
i' d recommend reading those books in the order they were released: city of bones city of ashes city of glass clockwork angel city of fallen angels clockwork prince city of lost souls clockwork princess city of heavenly fire from clockwork angel on, both series kind of intertwine and some things are foreshadowed in one series that is going to happen in the other. this way you' re reading it as cassandra clare intended the story to unfold, and you won' t be accidentally
spoiled
for one series. :) (less )
this book got 1. 5 stars from me simply because i was also reading tiger' s quest by colleen houck, and comparing with tiger' s quest, clockwork angel looks like it deserves 1. 5 stars ...
the old lady gave the soldier some money and then went with karen into the church .
in the middle of the village lived an old shoemaker' s wife; she sat down and made, as well as she could, a pair of little shoes out of some old pieces of red cloth. they were clumsy, but she meant well, for they were intended for the little girl, whose name was karen .
once upon a time there was little girl, pretty and dainty. but in summer time she was obliged to go barefooted because she was poor, and in winter she had to wear large wooden shoes, so that her little instep grew quite red .
karen believed that this was all on account of the red shoes, but the old lady thought them hideous, and so they were burnt. karen herself was dressed very neatly and cleanly; she was taught to read and to sew, and people said that she was pretty. but the mirror told her ,
you are more than pretty - you are beautiful .
when we first meet will and jem, they were both tracing a demon. then they found out a young girl was slayed by the demon, but they hardly gave any reaction to her death. isn' t it just bad for ms. clare to spend more time to describe what will and jem look like, what clothes they wore then she spends time on describing how her two male leads reacted to the death of this innocent girl ?
the sun was shining gloriously, so karen and the old lady went along the footpath through the corn, where it was rather dusty .
the angel may have worn red but it' s difficult to see that colour in this black and white production. a priest (dirk bogarde), who leaves the order, and a cabaret singer / whore (ava gardner) fall in love during the spanish civil war and find themselves prisoners of the republic. hokey romantic melodrama has a lot of pontificating on war, religion and lost faith. sandwiched in between scenes of conflict and despair both bogarde and gardner whisper a lot of unconvincing romantic dialogue. both stars are good but hilariously miscast as spaniards and have no chemistry with each other. however, no film with gardner can ever be boring and it' s worth sitting through this film for her .
she was frightened, and wanted to throw the red shoes away; but they stuck fast. she tore off her stockings, but the shoes had grown fast to her feet. she danced and was obliged to go on dancing over field and meadow, in rain and sunshine, by night and by day - but by night it was most horrible .
clockwork angel was not as good as book 1 in tmi series. but i will definitely continue with the trilogy, i still have lot' s of questions and i really want to find out how jem' s' condition' will be solved. cool beginning to what is sure to be a great trilogy! : )
find me on instagram & twitter! clockwork angel was amazing. if you love the mortal instruments, then you will surely love this book, maybe even more than the original series itself. and if you didn' t, well i honestly believe the infernal devices will succeed in what the mortal instruments failed to do. the characters were one hundred times more better than that of the mortal instruments! everybody was so much more likable and mature. i really thought for a second that tessa gray was older
this book got 1. 5 stars from me simply because i was also reading tiger' s quest by colleen houck, and comparing with tiger' s quest, clockwork angel looks like it deserves 1. 5 stars... in order to save you some precious time, i will tell you my honest reaction to clockwork angel right here, right now: thank you, shou. also, when i first opened the book, i was faced by this description as well: magic is dangerous - but love is more dangerous still. * sighs * what kind of soap - operatic shit is that! ? i hat
she danced out into the open churchyard; but the dead there did not dance. they had something better to do than that. she wanted to sit down on the pauper' s grave where the bitter fern grows; but for her there was neither peace nor rest. and as she danced past the open church door she saw an angel there in long white robes, with wings reaching from his shoulders down to the earth; his face was stern and grave, and in his hand he held a broad shining sword .
then the sun shone so brightly, and right before her stood an angel of god in white robes; it was the same one whom she had seen that night at the church - door. he no longer carried the sharp sword, but a beautiful green branch, full of roses; with this he touched the ceiling, which rose up very high, and where he had touched it there shone a golden star. he touched the walls, which opened wide apart, and she saw the organ which was pealing forth; she saw the pictures of the old pastors and their wives, and the congregation sitting in the polished chairs and singing from their hymn - books. the church itself had come to the poor girl in her narrow room, or the room had gone to the church. she sat in the pew with the rest of the pastor' s household, and when they had finished the hymn and looked up, they nodded and said ,
it was right of you to come, karen .

during the whole week she was sad and wept many bitter tears, but when sunday came again she said :
now i have suffered and striven enough. i believe i am quite as good as many of those who sit in church and give themselves airs .
and so she went boldly on; but she had not got farther than the churchyard gate when she saw the red shoes dancing along before her. then she became terrified, and turned back and repented right heartily of her sin .

karen was now old enough to be confirmed; she received some new clothes, and she was also to have some new shoes. the rich shoemaker in the town took the measure of her little foot in his own room, in which there stood great glass cases full of pretty shoes and white slippers. it all looked very lovely, but the old lady could not see very well, and therefore did not get much pleasure out of it. amongst the shoes stood a pair of red ones, like those which the princess had worn. how beautiful they were! and the shoemaker said that they had been made for a count' s daughter, but that they had not fitted her .

not only this, tessa' s attitude is just as annoying as clary' s. clary' s bitchy remark about how
fat, ugly people don' t get to become vampires because ugly people probably don' t want to live long
bugs the hell out of me when i read city of bones. in clockwork angel, i found tessa making a very similar remark on brother enoch' s strange, frightening appearance :
an amnesiac wanders the streets of manhattan, trying to solve the mystery of who he is .
the story of a young mermaid who falls in love with a prince from above the waves .
the ending was phenomenal. and there was also a cliff in the epilogue. so i can' t wait to read the next book .
first, when tessa first encountered jem, he told her that westerners like her and will would be referred to as' yang quizi' in chinese, which meant' foreign devils'. oh yes, westerners were, and sometime still are, being referred to as' ghosts' in chinese because in chinese myth, only dead people / ghosts have pale white skin and yellow / red hair !
at home the shoes were put into the cupboard, but karen could not help looking at them .
after reading 5 mortal instruments books and clockwork angel, i began to realize ms. clare seems to be unable to write likable characters (with the rare exclusions of simon, jem, magnus and maybe alec). when she tries to write brave, strong girls but they always turn out rude, judging, self - righteous and unlikable. when she tries to write complicated male leads with a haunting past, she only manages to make them into cocky, rude dickheads .

soledad is spared by the arrival of the commanding general, an old man who disapproves of torture and dirty tricks. he orders all 250 prisoners to be marched out to the battle lines. there they will be given arms to slowing the nationalist advance on the city and cover the loyalists' retreat. on the march, arturo gives soledad the relic so she can try to take it to safety. however, in a surprise nighttime rebel attack, she is seriously wounded. the prisoners change hands, but the nationalist commander decides he cannot trust them or leave them behind; he orders that they be executed. arturo pleads with the officer assigned the task, but the man does not believe arturo' s story. before more than a few unfortunates have been shot, however, soledad and the relic are found. she dies, but the prisoners are set free .
out of jail, but under surveillance, arturo meets soledad and the priest who has hidden the holy relic. the absence of the relic is causing unrest in the town and unsettling the local loyalist militia, now suffering massive desertions because of the missing relic, which is fabled to provide victory to those who possess it. this makes it essential for the local loyalists to secure it. but because of a well - meaning, disastrous attempt to feed the old priest in hiding, soledad leads loyalist security men to his hideout .
young catholic priest arturo carrera (bogarde) sympathizes with the poor in the spanish civil war, but finds that his fellow priests have little concern for the poor, because they support the nationalist rebels. he then resigns from the priesthood. hours later, the city is bombarded and he takes shelter with a mysterious beautiful woman named soledad (gardner) .

i saw a lot in common with this film and douglas sirk' s much more impressive a time to love and a time to die, with a revisionist element that' s not quite an inaccurate portrayal of history blended with deep melodrama. here the melodrama really slows the film down and drags down the last half of the film but the intention still has the same sappy effect .

decent story of the spanish civil war with a good performance by dirk bogarde. ava gardner at the height of her beauty is quite wonderful .
despite torture, the old priest refuses to give up the relic' s location, and is to be shot at dawn. the security chief then has arturo hear the condemned priest' s confession. learning of the relic' s whereabouts, arturo takes it, but claims not to know where it is. but he is then arrested and taken to see the torturing of soledad, for whom he has declared his love .

cassandra clare was born overseas and spent her early years traveling around the world with her family and several trunks of fantasy books. cassandra worked for several years as an entertainment journalist for the hollywood reporter before turning her attention to fiction. she is the author of city of bones, the first book in the mortal instruments trilo
there' s also one things about clare' s supposedly victorian characters that bugs me a lot. it' s that for the life in me, i can' t believe the ladies and gentlemen in the high society would be talking so rudely and directly to one another. i mean, even the

then the next thing i know, jem revealed that that his parents were murdered by a demon called yanluo. omg! !! ! yanluo is the name of the king of underworld in chinese myth, not a freaking demon !
obviously, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. just think a minute, those of you who castigate this film and its direction. let' s place the blame where it belongs, on the
hollywood suits ,
as they call the big shot executives who really control how a film will appear in its final version. johnson, gardener, and borgarde all made an emotional and artistic commitment to this film at its inception. this is obvious to anyone with even a touch of cinematic sensitivity when viewing the film. the underappreciated ava gardner, dirk bogarde, and director johnson were forced to reshoot many of the scenes, which made gardner livid. the powers - that - be insisted that she come across as a hollywood sexpot, rather than as the earthy prostitute who clearly experiences a spiritual epiphany after falling in love with the disillusioned priest character played by bogarde. the film portrays souls in crisis, not your typical hollywood garbage depending on sexually provocative women and shallow men to create the usual clichés

i feel very similar! it wasn' t good, it wasn' t awful, and it was often slow in the middle and at the end .
the way that they talk is definitely not victorian. i know that the shadowhunters are more liberal but its just not talk fitting the period. i kinda don' t mind, because i' d rather not be bogged down in the victorian era english but i can see why people have a problem with it .
the gentle,' good boy' jem is simon in disguise, jem is being designed to be the weaker part of the love triangle, i like him just as i like simon, but i have nothing more to say about him .
they part. as night falls, loyalist speakers induce a mob to torch the church, whose ranking cleric moves to hide the blood of st john relic by giving his deputy the task of taking it to franco' s nationalists. both the deputy and arturo become hunted men. arturo seeks shelter in a local cabaret, where he again meets the mystery woman, who turns out to be a prostitute .
i also liked the romance in this book, because the book needed it and i' m so glad that the author didn' t make it a big deal, like the reason of things happening because i' m tired with books where only true love and stuff like this triumph. the bonding between characters was so natural and seemed quite real. and so you know there is a love triangle .
i actually preferred to read mortal instruments before... it gave me a better sense of the shadowhunter world when i got to read the infernal devices. …more

there are some good scenes though, and the concluding chapters with the fight at the institute are high stakes and exciting. i had actual anxiety worrying if jem and will would make it back in time and i knew what was going to happen .
to be honest, i’m not quite sure how to rate this book. it wasn’t all bad, but i wouldn’t say it was good either. it was rather boring at times and the story dragged heavily, especially in the middle and towards the end. none of the characters has become particularly dear to me. i didn’t buy the love story. however, i think i would have liked it much better if i hadn’t read the mortal instruments series before. but the books are so similar (which was to be expected, i know, as they are set in th

so, this is it. my very first book by the incredibly popular writer ,
arturo (dirk bogarde), a priest on the run from the loyalists during the spanish civil war, meets up with cabaret dancer soledad (ava gardner), who hides him in her apartment. already struggling with his faith, arturo falls in love with soledad and contemplates leaving the priesthood. however, when an important religious relic is lost, arturo decides to find and guard the heirloom. soledad must decide whether or not to side with arturo, even though he may return to the religious life .
this is an indecisive, ultimately unconvincing wartime drama set in the 1930s when spain was caught in a bloody civil war, a situation that is never clearly delineated in that the story supports the fascists without specifically saying so. the hero is a voluntarily defrocked priest, arturo carrera (dirk bogarde) who is being hunted by the leftist, anti - clerical, and anti - fascist forces. while on the run himself, he encounters a beautiful prostitute, soledad (ava gardner) and as sure as the sun rises, the two fall in love and stay together. eventually, they are both caught by the anti - franco fighters who are trying to get their hands on a precious holy relic. the ex - priest is trapped into making a no - win decision between his love for soledad and his love for the church while she has a similar but more tragic decision to make on her own. ~ eleanor mannikka, rovi
i actually preferred to read mortal instruments before... it gave me a better sense of the shadowhunter world when i got to read the infernal devices. however, i read the infernal devices after i read city of glass. that was actually a good idea because if you read the infernal devices series after city of glass, you can catch some references to the infernal devices in city of fallen angels, lost souls, and heavenly fire. at least some of the most prominent references to infernal devices came after city of glass. also, by the time you read up to city of glass in the other series, you' re already pretty well developed in the shadowhunter world in knowing what' s going on. so, when you get to infernal devices, you would not have to learn the basics of everything.

soledad discovers that arturo was a priest, but because she likes him, she tries unsuccessfully to hide him from the militiamen. hawthorne, a habitué of the bar and a new york war correspondent (joseph cotten) with a platonic relationship with her, does his best to free arturo. arturo tells the loyalist intelligence chief he can make himself useful by comforting catholic loyalists who are wavering because of the treatment of the church .
the beginning till the middle was horrible. i had to force myself to keep on reading. it was so tedious i had to fight the urge to fall asleep. most of the stuff was not even relevant and important! there was so much small, annoying talk and description that was not needed at all, and i couldn' t help buy skip some of the words / paragraphs. too much is never good .

i usually talk in my reviews which part of the book was good, better and bad. but i can' t part this one. from the first page till the last one, moments never got boring and there were always thrilling and exciting ones .
i originally read this... . not sure when? probably around release date or soon after clockwork prince was released... but i reread by listening to the audiobook and it was fantastic! i definitely didn' t love this as much as i did when i read it the first time but i still really enjoyed it! jem is a precious cinnamon roll. will is a tortured soul. tessa i just the best. i love this world and i love the steampunk elements so much. my only qualm with the audiobook is gabriel lightwood' s voice because it was literally the worst. can' t wait to listen to the rest of the series on audio .
“whatever you are physically... male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy - - all those things matter less than what your heart contains. if you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. all those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside. ”
shivered with excitement all throughout the book! “one must always be careful of books, and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us. ” i would cry, but i still haven' t read the clockwork princess, so i feel my time would be wasted. this book was so so so good. i can easily say this is one of the best books i' ve read in a while. it' s been a stressful couple of months, but this book was a place i went to where all the stress, the unhappiness, and depression of the past couple of mo

she went to the parsonage, and begged that she might be taken into service there. she would be industrious, she said, and do everything that she could; she did not mind about the wages as long as she had a roof over her, and was with good people. the pastor' s wife had pity on her, and took her into service. and she was industrious and thoughtful. she sat quiet and listened when the pastor read aloud from the bible in the evening. all the children liked her very much, but when they spoke about dress and grandeur and beauty she would shake her head .

by all accounts, nunnally johnson did have his hands full on this production. shot in rome and sicily because the spanish government wouldn' t permit the story to be filmed in spain, johnson found the vagaries of italian film production quite startling. his italian producer, for example, seemed primarily concerned with regulating the numbers of catholics and communists being employed on set. in sicily, the mafia controlled the extras as well as those placed in charge of them. one such assistant suddenly left town when he received a death threat scrawled across his bathroom mirror. other assistants would get extras to cry when needed by hitting them. late one night on location, johnson decided that this would be his last film as director. he later described the moment :
what the hell am i doing here? two in the morning. in sicily. at the age of sixty. on a slippery rock. on a cold night. saying' put the camera here.' this is the end of it. let somebody else say,' put the camera here.' i should be home in bed .

moreover, the magic those nephilims wielded was pure awesomeness. instead of the control of basic elements as we usually see, using magic spells and drawing ancient symbols were comparatively more enthralling .
on the following sunday they all went to church, and she was asked whether she wished to go too; but, with tears in her eyes, she looked sadly at her crutches. and then the others went to hear god' s word, but she went alone into her little room; this was only large enough to hold the bed and a chair. here she sat down with her hymn - book, and as she was reading it with a pious mind, the wind carried the notes of the organ over to her from the church, and in tears she lifted up her face and said :
o god! help me!
