indiscreet
makes one nostalgic for the stylish romantic comedies of the 1940s and' 50s. in this 1958 film, ingrid bergman and cary grant play anna and phillip, two unattached, glamorous and successful americans who meet in anna' s tony london apartment. their mutual attraction is swift and palpable. phillip, a businessman up for a nato post, tells anna he' s married; he feels it' s the only way to maintain his bachelor status .
bergman was delighted to discover that grant had authorized a high fashion wardrobe for her supervised by christian dior. he had also allowed his production company to buy the first 1958 silver wraith rolls - royce out of the factory to be used in the film. after shooting ended, he would buy it from grandon .

cary grant began his acting career in the 1930s. the british - born, witty, and satirical grant worked alongside of major hollywood stars such as audrey hepburn (charade, 1963), doris day (that touch of mink, 1962), and ingrid bergman (indiscreet, 1958). the former acrobat turned hollywood star suddenly became an international symbol of style and grace. cary grant passed away in 1986 at the age of 82 .
this second - rate thriller has nothing remotely to do with the cary grant / ingrid bergman film of 1958. instead it stars luke perry as a detective who finds himself a murder suspect when the millionaire husband of the woman he' s been hired to follow winds up dead. it' s routine video fodder, flattered by a cast that includes adam baldwin and peter coyote .
one of my favorites with two of my favorite actors of all time. please add this film to the list very soon. susie harris

several of director stanley donen' s movies are not only classics, but are considered flawless representatives of their genres - - musicals such as 1952' s
singin' in the rain ,
which he co - directed with star gene kelly, 1954' s
seven brides for seven brothers
and 1957' s
funny face
; the 1958 comedy
indiscreet
; the 1963 romantic thriller
charade
; and the 1967 romantic drama
two for the road .
had been a legendary flop on broadway, grant and donen started looking for a new title. jack warner, who was releasing the film, wanted
and donen captures this perfect link between his stars essence and their skills as actors to create a superior film. there is giddiness in the playful sex talk the two engage in within the privacy of anna’s luxurious london apartment, often talking about their desire to keep the affair secret, as the audience spies on them in their most intimate moments. there is even the classic suggestive phone call filmed in split - screen with each in their own bed. and yet, as sexy as the movie is, it never becomes lewd. in fact, indiscreet may be donen’s most elegant film, making itself known within its first moments when a mosaic of flowers splash across the screen during the opening credits. this may be a light, and even thin movie, but for adults looking for a delightful film for a lazy evening at home, it would be hard to find a more refreshing film to share .
but the 73 - year - old filmmaker' s elegant style and use of color was also evident in such musicals as'' seven brides for seven brothers'' (1954) and'' funny face'' (1957), as well as nonmusicals like'' indiscreet'' (1958),'' charade'' (1963) and'' two for the road'' (1967). mr. donen performed an agile two - step and sang'' heaven'' after picking up his oscar from martin scorsese .
i’ll recommend indiscreet to those wanting to see these two acting legends together on - screen, but the movie takes far too long to develop and donen falls in love with the presentation that he never checks on the ingredients (i. e. the script) .
as the story goes, evans had been asleep and crawled from beneath his mink bedspread to watch a lifetime’s worth of awards and archives go up in smoke. “when the housekeeper walked in at 7: 30, everything was fine. by 8: 30, it was like a fireplace, ” says selka. “cary grant’s print of indiscreet —given to him by cary grant. all evans’s original [ film ] footage. everything went. ”
following are the times' recommendations for today' s schedule of the american film institute los angeles international film festival (afifest), with commentary by the film reviewing staff. information: (213) 480 - 3232 or (213) 520 - 2000. highly recommended :
funny face
( u. s. ; director: stanley donen; cineplex century plaza 3, 8 p. m .). a restored print of the 1957 musical classic, a satire on fashion photography and americans in paris .
, the film version of which (1943) donen co - choreographed and appeared in as part of the chorus. by this time he was living in hollywood, and at
( 1955), a somewhat downbeat comden - green story about three army veterans whose 10 - year reunion illustrates that they no longer can be friends. donen’s next film ,
, and betty garrett). the film was shot partly on location in new york city, on whose streets donen dazzlingly directed the production number “new york, new york. ”
it was also the second film to win 11 academy awards, including best picture - it tied ben - hur (1959) with eleven oscar wins - the most oscar wins of any film in academy awards history. [ the lord of the rings: the return of the king (2003) would equal the feat in six years with 11 wins. ]
this year' s honorary oscar was awarded to 73 year - old stanley donen, a legendary choreographer / director who helped to revolutionize the musical ,
in appreciation of a body of work marked by grace, elegance, wit, and visual innovation. he had never been nominated in his entire career - for such films as cover girl (1944), anchors aweigh (1945), on the town (1949), take me out to the ball game (1949), royal wedding (1951), singin' in the rain (1952), seven brides for seven brothers (1954), it' s always fair weather (1955), the pajama game (1957), funny face (1957) and damn yankees (1958). he was also responsible for indiscreet (1958), the grass is greener (1961), charade (1963), and two for the road (1967) .
amazingly, both top acting awards were won by the main lead performers in the same film, a comedy - as good as it gets. this marked the seventh time in 70 years that the two best acting oscars were awarded to the same film. the wins made it, to date, the last best picture nominee to receive best actor and best actress wins .
this is a bigger film than most of these others. it’s a romantic comedy directed by stanley donen; it’s one of his best movies, and it stars cary grant and ingrid bergman, who are both fabulous in it. it’s absolutely beautiful looking, with great sets and two performers at their physical and artistic peak. based on a semi - successful play in new york called kind sir, it’s absolutely delightful. i think the title is kind of off - putting. cary grant and ingrid bergman made a hitchcock film called notorious, so to have the two stars of notorious in a movie called indiscreet, it sounds like it could be a dark, dramatic film of some kind. but it’s really not. it’s a witty, wonderful comedy done by two great artists. again, a movie that many people don’t know and should .
it was the first best picture winner to gross over $ 1 billion (worldwide), and $ 600 million (domestic). cameron' s film was both a love story surrounded with the special - effects sinking of the' unsinkable' titanic on its maiden voyage from southampton, england to new york. the reconstructed ship in the film was three - quarters actual size .
director stanley donen manages to concoct an elegant comedy out of an extremely mundane screenplay. it all comes down to seeing the stars from hitchcock' s
notorious
together again - this time older, but still two of the most beautiful and charismatic faces in film, only much more suave and bubbly and without the complex layers of self - destruction from the previous film. ultimately, cary grant and ingrid bergman are the only reason to justify watching this film nowadays. it' s interesting to see bergman tackling with some comedy and boy, cary grant can sure dance .
donen also directed sophisticated comedies and thrillers, such as kiss them for me (1957), indiscreet (1958), once more, with feeling (1960), surprise package (1960), the grass is greener (1960), charade (1963), arabesque (1966), two for the road (1967), bedazzled (1967), staircase (1969), lucky lady (1975), saturn 3 (1980), and blame it on rio (1984). in 1985 donen directed the tv series moonlighting, and in 1999 he directed the tv drama love letters, based on the play by a. r. gurney .
holiday is a 1930 american pre - code romantic comedy film which tells the story of a young man who is torn between his free - thinking lifestyle and the tradition of his wealthy fiancée' s family .
was a huge hit for all involved. although some critics carped that the plot was rather thin, most were pleased to see grant bringing back the kind of film that had made him a star in the' 30s. for bergman, the film was a revelation, cementing her comeback and displaying a hitherto unsuspected gift for comedy. it also gave donen a new specialty. he had started directing with musicals like
director - producer - screenwriter james cameron' s three - hour mega - hit, titanic - both the most expensive film ever made and the number one, most successful box - office film of all - time (shared by 20th century fox and paramount studios), was the fictionalized account of the 1912 white star line cruise - ship disaster. its tagline was :
nothing on earth could come between them .
starred as the head of the grievance committee in a pajama factory whose workers are about to go on strike. the film’s delightful score included “hernando’s hideaway. ” the sparkling choreography by fosse was creatively captured by donen. with
the narrow margin is probably the best film on this list. it’s another b picture, and people didn’t discover it for a long time. it was directed by richard fleischer—a tight little murder mystery. most of it takes place on a train, so it was made for very few dollars, with a cast that most people don’t know. marie windsor, who is one of the great femme fatales, is in it. it’s a highly suspenseful film that was remade later, but the remake wasn’t nearly as effective as the original. it’s a jewel of a film that people can’t believe how good it is, particularly if they’ve never heard about it before .
adding to indiscreet’s meta - commentary on public / private affairs is the casting of bergman as a world famous actress. just as anna is keenly aware of the ramification of being seen with a man who could possibly label her a home - wrecker, bergman herself was all too aware of the possible outcome which comes with such a label. by the time she made indiscreet, her scandalous relationship with roberto rossellini, which had ostracized her from hollywood, had just ended in a very public divorce. bergman’s brilliant tongue - in - cheek performance is, even more so than grant’s, the definition of a star performance - a brilliant actress, using her public image to turn a good character into a great performance .
i' m a college student getting my master' s in english, but dreams of getting an additional degree in film. i' m a movie reviewer for several sites, but i also write classic film reviews for several other sites. i stretch myself pretty thin these days. you can usually find me at a bookstore, or a movie theater. i dream of the day when the two are combined. i base a lot of my friendships on favorite movies .
- the actress was unable to attend - and was overwhelmed by the hollywood audience' s warm reception. from that point, bergman was his only choice. the film would mark their first reunion since their huge hit in alfred hitchcock' s
this is a very little movie, and it’s a perfect example of a b film made by columbia pictures in the 1940s. it’s one of those big mistakes: it turned out to be a really terrific, psychological thriller with nina foch and dame may whitty–wonderful character actors. it’s a well - crafted, short, suspenseful film. people can’t believe it when they see it because it’s not anything they’ve ever heard of before and yet it is as good as any a picture you’ll ever see .
director stanley donen ’s decision to reveal the plot in a disjointed fashion was inspired by the storytelling techniques and jump cuts popularized by the french new wave film movement. interestingly, françois truffaut, one of the directors most closely identified with the new wave, would later use…
turner classic movies host robert osborne curates 11 of his beloved lesser - known films from the' 30s,' 40s, and' 50s, from dodsworth to remember the night, starring barbara stanwyck. the tcm classic film festival runs april 12 - 15 in los angeles .
while other films would place grant in a bumbling situation to “avoid” coming clean, indiscreet takes a different approach. bergman’s strong and independent anna, is delighted by his marital commitment and is more than happy to engage in a flirtation with an unhappily married man. she only becomes furious when she learns he is in fact single and available. it’s a classic screwball comedy, where the institution of marriage is nothing but an obstacle for two willful, kindred spirits .
its fourteen nominations included: best picture, best director, best actress, best supporting actress, best art direction, best cinematography, best costume design, best film editing, best make - up, best score, best song (
my heart will go on
), best sound, best sound effects editing, and best visual effects. titanic lost only three awards for which it was nominated - its two acting nominations, and the best make - up nomination. the film wasn' t even nominated for its screenplay, and it lost its two actress nominations, making it less of an acting film and more of a technical, craft - related masterpiece. leonardo dicaprio in a lead role opposite nominated kate winslet was denied a nomination. and 87 year - old veteran actress gloria stuart was denied an oscar - the award would have made her the oldest recipient of an oscar .
this film stars ingrid bergman as a wealthy actress and cary grant as an international financial wizard. bergman' s sister and brother - in - law introduce grant to bergman. because he feels he has no time for marriage, grant pretends to be married to avoid romantic tangles. however, his plan backfires .
the oscar for best documentary went to'' the long way home,'' a searing film about the hardships endured by liberated concentration camp inmates after world war ii. curtis hanson and brian helgeland won an oscar for their adaptation of the james ellroy novel'' l. a. confidential.''
'' titanic,'' the james cameron epic about a tragic love affair aboard the doomed ocean liner, glided triumphantly through the 70th annual academy awards tonight, winning 11 accolades, including best picture and the top director oscars for mr. cameron. the film' s honors tied it with'' ben - hur'' for the most ever .
each interview takes readers behind the scenes with some of cinema’s most iconic stars. the actors convey unforgettable stories, from maureen o’hara discussing charles laughton’s request that she change her last name, to bob hope candidly commenting on the presidential honors bestowed upon him. humorous, enlightening, and poignant, conversations with classic film stars is essential reading for anyone who loves classic movies .
donen, stanley (1924–), u. s. film director. born in columbia, south carolina, donen trained as a dancer and while still in his teens began working with gene kelly on broadway. he went with kelly to hollywood and joined mgm, where he worked closely with producer arthur freed. donen' s inventive choreography and directorial skills helped revitalize the musical during the 1940s and 1950s. for example, his filming of fred astaire dancing on the walls and ceiling of his london hotel room in royal wedding (1951) has become legendary. donen directed some of the most successful and best - regarded musicals of the time, including on the town (1949), singin' in the rain (1952), seven brides for seven brothers (1954), it' s always fair weather (1955), love is better than ever (1956), funny face (1957), the pajama game (1957), damn yankees! (1958), the little prince (1974), and movie movie (1978) .
, in which charles boyer courts mary martin while pretending to be a married man. on broadway, it had been one of the biggest flops of 1953. as a result, nobody had bid on the movie rights, which donen picked up for just $ 10, 000. he and grant even formed their own production company, grandon, to make the film for warner bros .
both titanic and ben - hur (1959) failed to win best original screenplay (titanic wasn' t even nominated in the category), although both films won best picture and best director honors. to date, it was the last film to win best picture without a screenplay nomination (adapted or original); the last best picture to not have its screenplay nominated was the sound of music (1965) .
roughly speaking is a strange title. it’s a comedy that’s based on a real - life woman and her son, the screenwriter frank pierson, who wrote dog day afternoon and for a while was the president of the academy of motion picture arts and sciences. (he did not write this film, however .) it’s about his mother, who had a large family she kept together through the depression days. they had a lot of bad things happen to the family, but the mother is very cheery, and all the kids grow up and become successful. it’s one of those feel good movies. rosalind russell is wonderful in the film, and everyone knows her from movies like auntie mame, the women, and his girl friday, but nobody knows about this one. it’s one of the great discoveries i’m hoping people will make .
i thought this was good value, as it contained some of my favourite cary grant films (as well as others i' m not so fond of). however, i was disappointed - and annoyed - to find that four of the films don' t have subtitles, even though the description on amazon suggests they all do. the four films without subtitles are: bringing up baby, indiscreet, suspicion and my favorite wife. my husband cannot watch films unless they have subtitles so it' s very important to us that amazon provides accurate information in this respect. i would have returned the item if i hadn' t decided to pass it on to someone as a present .
with the repairing of cary grant and ingrid bergman, the script for indiscreet could coast on the presence of the two stars alone, and the sad fact is, it does. despite being directed by the legendary stanley donen, and being written by norman krasna, the movie feels like a cold, talky stageplay brought to the screen. grant and bergman are as dazzling as you’d expect them to be, but it takes far too long to get going, and feels content to have the pretty actors sit in pretty rooms talking about a pretty romance they could be having. the third act twist breathes a little life into it, but overall it’s a disappointing vehicle for such a powerhouse reteaming .
in conversations with classic film stars, retired journalists james bawden and ron miller present an astonishing collection of rare interviews with the greatest celebrities of hollywood’s golden age. conducted over the course of more than fifty years, they recount intimate conversations with some of the most famous leading men and women of the era, including douglas fairbanks jr. , joseph cotten, cary grant, gloria swanson, joan fontaine, loretta young, kirk douglas, and many more .

has been shipped to london where miss bergman lives and wants to love. grant, a rich american who holds a nato post, lives there too (at least on weekends, commuting as he does from paris) and he too wants to love. but the difference is he wants nothing of marriage and, to protect all concerned, advises miss bergman on first meeting that he is a married man, separated and unable to obtain a divorce. still she invites him to the ballet, and there is born a touching love. she, with her heart full, settles for an affair with no strings attached .
composer james newton howard received the henry mancini award for lifetime achievement at the american society of composers, authors and publishers' 15th annual awards gala. an 18 - time winner of ascap film and television awards since 1992, howard, 48, known for his ability to include a range of diverse styles in his scores, composed the music for such films as
the fugitive ,
the prince of tides ,
pretty woman
and

kevin spacey wasn' t nominated as best supporting actor for his role as hollywood celebrity detective jack vincennes in l. a. confidential, nor was philip seymour hoffman for his performance as adult film soundman scotty in boogie nights. and rupert everett lacked a nomination for his role as editor george downes - julia roberts' gay confidante in the popular romantic comedy my best friend' s wedding, as did ian holm for his performance as defense lawyer mitchell stephens in atom egoyan' s drama the sweet hereafter .
even before the awards presentation, the odds were heavily in favor of'' titanic,'' the 3 - hour - and - 14 - minute blockbuster that has been no. 1 at the box office for 14 weeks and has grossed a record $ 1. 2 billion around the world, including $ 495 million in the united states. the film starred leonardo dicaprio and kate winslet as fictional lovers aboard the vessel that sank in the atlantic in 1912, carrying more than 1, 500 people to their deaths .

technical credit is difficult to assess in light of the preview film being a work print. frederick a young' s technicolor photography mostly stays indoors, though what little he does show of london is distinguished. art director don ashton has created a lush living room interior, loaded with paintings, pillows and color, and his recreation of the royal naval college' s painted hall is artistically and skillfully accomplished. music by richard bennett and ken jones is particularly effective in its romantic emphasis on piano. and an engaging wrapping is provided by clever title credits designed by maurice binder .
. they went back to her apartment, where she told him ,
i want to put you at ease. i' m going to do the picture .
she then asked him what the film was. by the time bergman arrived in london for location shooting in 1957, she and rossellini had separated. the press was out in full force for a press conference when she arrived at heathrow airport. grant was waiting and quickly deflected their questions about her impending divorce by shouting ,
why don' t you talk to me? my problems are far more interesting .
and mike newell' s gangster film donnie brasco, with al pacino as aging mobster benjamin' lefty' ruggiero and anne heche as maggie pistone, was recognized with only one nomination - for best adapted screenplay. alison elliott was not nominated for her supporting performance as dying, terminally - ill heiress millie theale in the wings of the dove, robin wright penn was neglected for her transformative role as white - trash junkie maureen in she' s so lovely, and parker posey was bypassed for playing incest - obsessed, neurotic twin jackie in the underated wendy macleod play adaptation the house of yes .
titanic was the first best picture winner to be produced, directed, written and edited by the same individual - james cameron. cameron' s win put him fifth in a long line of directors who have triple wins for director, writer, and producer for the same film: leo mccarey for going my way (1944), billy wilder for the apartment (1960), francis ford coppola for the godfather, part ii (1974), and james l. brooks for terms of endearment (1983). ontario - born james cameron became the first canadian to win the best director award .

filming in the harsh london winter meant health problems for most of the company, with donen and cinematographer freddie young among those sidelined by the flu. only grant, who was undergoing hypnotherapy with wife betsy drake, stayed healthy. then margaret johnson, who had been cast as bergman' s sister, quarreled with donen and walked off the film. phyllis calvert signed on to replace her, but before she could re - shoot the character' s scenes, her husband died. for the good of the production, she went back to work almost immediately, delivering a light comic performance that belied her personal heartbreak .
hobson’s choice is another gem. this one’s by david lean, whom everyone knows from big epics like lawrence of arabia, but this is a small film with john mills about a family in england. the patriarch of the family is played by charles laughton, and it’s about his daughter and the lengths she has to go to to get out from under his control. it’s a witty movie, it’s a very touching movie, and it’s another great example of what a great director david lean is. people should see it not only to be entertained by it, but to see work by the great laughton and lean .
for co - producer barbara broccoli, who is better known for her day job overseeing the multi - billion - dollar james bond movie franchise, the material connected both personally and intellectually. she calls evans’s boom - bust hollywood odyssey, as recounted in both the kid stays in the picture and its 2013 follow - up, the fat lady sang, “this roller - coaster ride” that is also, “in many ways, a story of america. ” but as the daughter of prolific film producer albert r. “cubby” broccoli, who grew up surrounded by industry wheeler dealers, barbara can also conjure concrete memories of evans in his heyday .
directed by william wyler, who is, if not the best director, one of the best. it’s got a dull title and a cast that no one particularly knows–walter huston stars in it, anjelica huston’s grandfather. it’s an absolutely riveting story about a very successful man who retires and takes a trip to europe with his wife, and the wife is someone who decides she doesn’t want to grow old. it’s about the conflict of what it does to their life together. it’s an amazing film to me, because not only is it fascinating, but for something made in 1936, it is so up to date, and so modern. it could be a movie made today and people would like it. i actually introduced it once with the son of the man who produced it, and the crowds were so large for this 1936 film that they had to show it three times, which shows the grip that it can have on an audience today. anyone can relate to the problem of getting older, the problem of not wanting to be dismissed by people. it’s that line we all come to eventually when you’re no longer young, but you don’t want to be old, and you haven’t made the adjustment of the fact that you’re not 25 anymore .
another movie that takes place on a train. the basic story is based on a true event: it’s about an assassin that was going to kill lincoln on the way to his inauguration in washington, d. c. , and it’s about the detective put on the train to protect lincoln, who is the tall target. he almost succeeds, but this is a fictionalized account of that actually happening. made for very little money, anthony mann, the great director who was later revered, made it. it’s suspenseful and beautifully done. dick powell is wonderful as the detective, but it’s mainly about the pacing of the film, the action, and the tight script—all things you need to make a good thriller .
[ it was the first time in oscar history that two performers - kate winslet as young rose, and gloria as old rose - were nominated for playing the same character in the same film. (this would also occur in 2001, when judi dench and kate winslet were both nominated for playing iris in iris (2001) .) gloria stuart' s nomination made her the oldest performer ever nominated for an academy award for best supporting actress. her closest elderly performer was 82 year - old jessica tandy nominated for best supporting actress for fried green tomatoes (1991). tandy, who won the oscar two years earlier for driving miss daisy (1989), was the oldest performer ever to win a best actress oscar. ]

a fine light comedy, with unexpected passages of seriousness, marked by the donen touch in its adventurous visuals and vivacious performances .

mr. krasna, who adapted his still weightless play, has not given it any added body. but with the assistance of ingrid bergman and cary grant, who previously proved that they were made for each other, and producer - director stanley donen, who appears to be in favor of amour and an impious joke, they have concocted a frivolous and diverting antic.
