although gene kelly established his reputation as an actor and a dancer, his contribution to the hollywood, california, musical also includes choreography (creating dances) and movie direction .
about the music for this marvelously crafted, heartfelt, and disturbing film, i turned first to some of schumann’s piano miniatures from his album for the young: notably, an exquisitely simple piece appropriately titled “the poor orphan child. ” in addition, i felt a need for a “maternal” soprano voice, singing songs periodically to comment on the film’s meanings. the singer is margaret o’keefe (a colleague at mit), and the selections consist entirely of songs available to singers at the time the film was made. one of these, “beautiful isle of somewhere” (pounds, fearis, 1897), was reissued in 1901, after being sung at the funeral of president mckinley. it is heard at the beginning and again near the end of the film, thus constituting a kind of theme song. indeed, it seems very like the sort of lullaby the boy of the story might imagine being sung to him by his absent mother .
kelly' s other major influence was his mother, who loved the theater. she was the one who sent him to dancing lessons. at first kelly did not want to continue with his dance lessons because the other students made fun of him. but then he discovered that the girls liked a boy who could dance, so he decided to stick with the lessons .
i have seen nearly all of the surviving max linder comedies and have enjoyed them. he was amazingly inventive and when i found one i had not seen (

max takes tonics
. he was a brilliant pioneer .

narrator: mother jones was constantly on the lookout for promising young lieutenants during her earliest trips to southern west virginia. one man who caught her eye was a 20 - year - old miner named frank keeney .
the opening was originally going to be an irishman painting the word' titanic'. during that same scene, it is not, as believed by some, a real film from her departure in 1912. james cameron wanted to use actual footage, but at the time there was none. so he attempted to create what he thought took place. however after the movie was released, some actual footage was discovered .
even before he began city lights, the sound film was firmly established. this new revolution was a bigger challenge to chaplin than to other silent stars. his tramp character was universal. his mime was understood in every part of the world. but if the tramp now began to speak in english, that world - wide audience would instantly shrink .

one young coal miner was already preparing for the battles to come. frank keeney had gone back to his job in the mines, but he was also reading shakespeare, and poetry, and mother jones' s favorite novel - - les miserables - - about a working - class revolt in 19th century france .
to me, adolph zukor was the greatest showman of his generation. his appreciations of programming, promotion, and advertising remained unfailing almost up to his death … his mind remained crystal clear. he wanted to know everything about each picture. not only paramount’s films but those of the other studios as well. he made the most astute observations as to why a picture didn’t do well. his counsel benefited the company almost to the day he died, at age 103, in 1976 .
concerned for pollock & apos; s well - being, krasner called on pollock & apos; s mother to help. her presence helped to stabilize pollock, and he began to paint again. he completed his masterpiece, the deep, during this period. but as the demand from collectors for pollock & apos; s art grew, so too did the pressure he felt, and with it his alcoholism .

he apparently passed his genes or his will to live to his son, eugene, who lived to 97. eugene’s wife had died a year earlier, after 73 years of marriage. both men were the ultimate family men, in an industry not known for marital fidelity. more from eugene :
at $ 200 million, the movie cost more than the titanic itself. the cost to construct the ship in 1910 - 1912 was £1. 5 million, equivalent to $ 7. 5 million at the time and about $ 120 to $ 150 million in 1997 dollars .
karl malden, (mladen sekulovich), american actor (born march 22, 1912, chicago, ill. —died july 1, 2009, los angeles, calif .), won critical acclaim for his strong character roles, ranging from psychologically intense villains to the earnest everyman, most notably alongside marlon brando in a streetcar named desire (1951) and on the waterfront …

in early 20th century britain, the cause of female suffrage was usually ignored by the press and dismissed by politicians. to gain support for their right to vote, suffragettes turned away from peaceful protest and embraced militant tactics that grew to include window breaking and arson. their fight for equality, which escalated in violence in 1912 and 1913, is depicted in the new film suffragette. the movie also shows historical figures and fictional characters interacting as they struggle to get women the vote. here are six real - life suffragettes (plus one man) who either appear in suffragette or whose stories are reflected in the film .
one of his biggest challenges was finding actors who could make the transition from stage to film. few knew how to perform for a camera. one young stage star, mary pickford, had done some film work, and zukor offered her $ 500 a week compared to the $ 175 she was making on broadway. by 1916, she was being paid $ 10, 000 a week, the equivalent of $ 220, 000 today .
later in life, cal married someone else and inherited his family' s millions. however, in the stock market crash of 1929, cal fell into financial ruin and committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth. his children later fought over the scraps of his estate like hyenas as rose claimed she read .
true or not, it is a typically o & apos; neillian irony that he might well have remained all but forgotten in his own country if his instructions to withhold the play had been honored. for it was the play & apos; s premature release that revived, with full glory, o & apos; neill & apos; s stature. and all because his willful widow chose to contravene his wishes .

not surprisingly, then, in choosing his next subject he deliberately sought escape from disagreeable contemporary reality. he found it in bitter - sweet nostalgia for the world of his youth – the world of the london music halls at the opening of the 20th century, where he had first discovered his genius as an entertainer .
paul rudd auditioned for the lead male role because his own father had been an avid titanic historian. despite his being able to reel off factual technical stats about the great ship, the casting team remained unimpressed .
in the film chaplin plays a dual role –a jewish barber who lost his memory in a plane accident in the first war, and spent years in hospital before being discharged into an antisemite country that he does not understand, and hynkel, the dictator leader of tomania, whose armies are the forces of the double cross, and who will do anything along those lines to increase his possibilities for becoming emperor of the world. chaplin’s aim is obvious, and the film ends with a now famous and humanitarian speech made by the barber, speaking chaplin’s own words .
a week later, more than three thousand marchers pushed through armed militiamen and followed mother jones and frank keeney to a rally on the steps of the capitol. they were there to persuade governor william glasscock to abolish the mine guard system .

during the 1920s dora film distributed their filmed sceneggiate to overseas markets with italian immigrant populations, in the united states, for example, to baltimore and new york, as well as to south american cities. often the film prints were accompanied by singers who performed the soundtrack (bruno 1997, 51). of the few surviving prints of notari’s entire film career, all are sceneggiate or fragments of the form, although fantasia ‘e surdate (1925) is incomplete and was reedited by notari after it did not pass fascist censorship .
mother jones issued an ominous warning :
unless the governor rids paint creek and cabin creek of these god - damned baldwin - felts mine guard thugs, there is going to be one hell of a lot of bloodletting in these hills .

by now, carlotta was herself ailing. she could no longer summon the boundless resilience with which she had dedicated her life to o & apos; neill & apos; s nurture and comfort; her nerves tattered, she had lost the vitality to focus on his needs or sympathize with his temperament. their self - imposed exile, unsurprisingly, was anything but tranquil. dejected over his progressive frailty and unable to release the torrents of his imagination through writing, o & apos; neill seemed bent on wrenching what drama he could from his domestic life.
