passion (1954) / tennessee' s partner (1955) - region free pal double - dvd [ import ], plays in original english audio without subtitles: official regia films spanish region 0 (region free) pal double - dvd release as pictured. contains two films:' passion' (1954, 1. 33: 1 full frame, colour, 81 mins) &' tennessee' s partner' (1955, 2. 00: 1 anamorphic widescreen, colour, 83 mins). passion: in mexican california, a land feud erupts and murder is committed when rich landowner don domingo reneges on an earlier verbal promise made by his father to grant to the tenant melo family a piece of land. tennessee' s partner: in a california mining town, a gold miner, a saloon gambler and a cat - house madam strike an odd alliance revolving around a gold mine claim .
after i 'd cut out the subtitles to watch it, half way through 'passion 'they came back on and i couldn 't get rid of them, spoiling the rest of the film, hence only 3 stars .

burr began as a stage actor who performed small roles in radio. his early film work was remarkable only in the sense that he rarely played anything other than the villain in such films as raw deal (1948). burr even managed to play the
heavy
in comedies, such as the marx brothers' love happy (1949). when he was in the courtroom drama a place in the sun (1951) he assumed the role of the relentless district attorney. during these movie years burr continued to work in several radio series such as pat novak for hire (1949) and dragnet (1949 - 1950). in 1954 he confirmed his villainous persona with his appearance as the menacing wife - killer lars thorwald in alfred hitchcock' s rear window (1954) .

it’s a shame that crimes of passion fails on a human level given how it boasts of technical merits which could compete with many a policier or romantic drama: arthur wong ’s camerawork and man lim - chung ’s production has provided both tension and context as the story moves from shenzhen’s skyscraper - laden landscape to the rural hinterlands in yunnan, where the film’s deadly denouement takes place. what this film need is solid sentiment about the human condition and its inner desires: it’s about time gao is to rediscover his real chinese blues .
like many of these b - movie programmers passion handily moves between serious drama and staunch action, with emphasis on the latter than the former. rosa and the baby are set up as lovely statues waiting for the wrecking ball to come through – in this case, don domingo with his “no witness” line straight out of death wish (1974). bound more by dna than anything passing for love (or passion), juan sets off to avenge them. honestly, tonia’s motivations are far clearer than juan’s .

this film is a fairly quick paced western - they get to point of revenge fast within the first few minutes of the film - there is no drawn out waiting game. the character building happens during the
revenge
so there is none of character building before the good stuff starts like you see in so many of today' s films .
dwan made an earlier film with a spanish california background, the silent “tide of empire” (1929). oddly enough, this silent is easily available in a good print .
“i attended wolverhampton from 2005 - 2010 to study a ba (hons) and ma in film studies. i am truly amazed with how much i learnt each lesson and how much i still use today. the tutors were friendly, passionate and engaging with interesting specialisms. i learnt about all different eras, genres, theories and cinema from around the world. each tutor was enthusiastic about the course, the subjects and about each student. i felt i was fully supported whilst on the course and they brought out my confidence and helped me to understand my strengths. after the course i went into teaching media studies as a film specialist, i now teach many on the concepts and theories i was taught on the course. i would recommend this course to anyone who has a passion for film and looking into the deeper meanings. ” - emma paulley
“a quiet passion, ” his latest film, goes back further in time than any of his past pictures, to the middle of the 19 th century, and returns him to america, a place he has now visited three times in his filmography. (his 1995 film of john kennedy toole’s novel “the neon bible” was set in 1940s georgia .) working from his own original screenplay, “a quiet passion” treats the life and the work of the poet emily dickinson, whose vast body of work was mostly unpublished in her lifetime. the movie begins with young emily (played by emma bell) keeping still in the middle of a chairless schoolroom as her fellow students move to the left or to the right, following the instructive questioning of a teacher who asks in just what way they desire to “come to god and be saved. ” standing in the middle of the room emily tells her teacher, “i am not even awakened yet. ” therefore, she asks, “how may i repent? ”
originally marketed with the english title of a sentimental story, the final moniker of mainland chinese director gao qunshu ’s latest film speaks volumes about his approach towards adapting novelist hai an ’s 1994 novel about a policewoman’s forbidden relationship with a gangland figure she was assigned to protect: high on action sequences, law - enforcement procedures and a detective’s inner struggle about throwing her professional rulebook out of the window, crimes of passion flounders with its unconvincing depiction of the dangerous liaisons crucial to the development of the story .

our last friday with yvonne de carlo sees her starring in her most passionate project yet, entitled…. . passion! as with frontier gal (1945), de carlo’s films placed generic plots in convenient genres demanding specific plot paths with the finished product feeling surprisingly fresh by emphasizing narrative over setting. unfortunately, the plots are never executed nearly as well as they should be, but where else but a de carlo film would you find a feature that plays like the death wish series in the old west ?

a huge asset in passion is the amazing scenery and beautiful colour cinematography by john alton. as the action unfolds and wilde tracks down and confronts the bad men, he travels from attractive ruins to the snowy sierras. that last cold trek takes a long time, as burr and de carlo follow wilde following acosta up the mountain, but the combination of studio and location footage makes for an impressive sequence that ends with a cabin shootout. my main quibble with the movie was the use of distracting accents, as if everyone recently started esl lessons. the halting delivery never sounded natural, especially when the lines spoken were wise old sayings or legal disputes. otherwise passion was enjoyable, with enough to give western fans a decent story and a nice eyeful .

passion is a taco bell western, in that, like most westerns of the time period it’s a lot of white people with spanish names dropping the occasional “hacienda” – you gotta “hah” when you say it – or speaking in weird pigin spanish. this isn’t one of the most heinous offenders of the spanish language i’ve watched, but you’ll smile every time you’re supposed to believe cornel wilde is a mexican .
it’s perhaps a surprise to find gao misfiring so soon after his critical - acclaimed beijing blues, a triple award - winner at taiwan’s golden horses last year. a low - budget documentary - style police - procedural about a police officer and the near - absurd challenges he had to face while patrolling his working - class milieu, beijing blues offers nuanced characters, an engaging narrative and a no - frills but all - heartfelt tribute to the difficult lives being led in china today. not that any of this is evident in crimes of passion: belying a title which would befit an erotic thriller – this is an official - sanctioned mainland chinese film, so that’s a non - starter of a genre in any case – gao’s latest film, which opened in china on august 8, is vague about the transgressions being committed and convoluted about the emotions at play .
graduates in film and television studies have found work in the media and creative industries, including broadcasting corporations such as the bbc and pathé news, film production, journalism, media positions, teaching and television. some film and television studies graduates take higher degrees, notably our own ma in film studies, as well as phds. others have set up media production companies or have become freelance writers. comment from external examiner :
the content of the route is clearly in line with subject benchmarks. the modules on the route provide for a stimulating mix of subject matter themed variously around issues of theory, genre, industry and geographical / national location. the core skills demanded of the student: those of detailed investigation, cogent argument and debate, fluency in written and verbal response are in high demand in a knowledge economy. i was pleased to see that within the revalidated route the scope of student choice was maintained .
de palma has also sprinkled the proceedings with waggish references to some of his earlier cult classics. a new plot development could have come straight out of
sisters ,
and the entire story, with its tale of a female power struggle that ends violently, is essentially an adult version of
carrie
with the cruelties located in boardroom instead of the locker room. these additions give
passion
an idiosyncratic personal touch that has become increasingly rare in movies these days, and that is one of depalma' s hallmarks. this is a film that was clearly made by an individual, not a committee, and it shows in every frame .

“a quiet passion” is not suffused with the romantic ache or agony of some of davies’ other films. it does not mourn for what emily dickinson did not have. rather it admires her for what she was, and what literary posterity made of her. and it invites the viewer to take seriously her mode of thought and of art; not just to take seriously, but to revel, inasmuch as one is able to revel in work that is simultaneously so austere and so rich. like the movie itself .

passion
is set largely in the german office of an international p. r. firm where the trappings are as immaculate as the dealings are dirty. rachel mcadams plays a rising executive, christine. noomi rapace is her immediate subordinate, isabelle. at first glance, they seem to have a harmonious working relationship. we learn otherwise when isabelle devises a brilliant new ad campaign for a smartphone, but christine winds up snaring the credit, and with it, the possibility of a much - desired promotion to the new york office .

story - telling logic in these movies is a moot point that passion amends through expressive cinematography and one of de carlo’s more unique characters. the last four weeks have given us de carlo in two roles: saloon girl and femme fatale (who visits saloons). de carlo failed to live up to the promise of her looks, or hollywood wouldn’t allow her the chance. playing dual roles she inhabits her role as the beautiful clotheshorse we saw in salome, where she danced (1945), and shrugs off those roles like a dirty coat by playing tonia .

like so much of dwan’s work, this film never seems to get the attention it deserves. those, mainly, westerns he made in the 50s, near the end of his long career, are uniformly good in my opinion. most were photographed by alton and this, combined with dwan’s eye, made for visually fascinating films .
in this film version of lloyd c. douglas' spiritual novel, rock hudson plays a reckless playboy who is indirectly responsible for the death of a kindly doctor. the dead man' s wife, jane wyman, refuses to accept hudson' s apologies. when wyman is blinded, hudson decides to
do right
by her anonymously .
this is a film i was introduced to via lon chaney jr... watching his westerns. this one is a pretty good western with a great cast - a few big names. the story gets interesting right from the start - so it drew me in after about 10 minutes of viewing and i' m not a big fan of western movies .
if this storyline sounds a bit familiar, it may be because the film is a remake of the 2010 french thriller
love crime ,
which was directed by the late alain corneau and featured kristin scott thomas and ludivine sagnier in the roles now played by mcadams and rapace. de palma has made a few small but significant changes that improve on the original and transform it into a full - blooded brian de palma film. one subtle but important change is making christine and isabelle closer in age than in corneau' s original. at first, this seems to make hash of the original' s more overt boss - protege relationship, but it ultimately adds an intriguing new dimension. in depalma' s film, when the promise of the new york promotion is arbitrarily offered to both women by their distant superiors, it cannily suggests that women in that sort of corporate environment are seen as being largely interchangeable—and that christine may have a point when she goes to extremes to stand out from the rest of the crowd, and destroy someone who is too much like her for comfort .
joining his rapturous visual style to elements that have driven him to artistic peaks over the years—voyeurism, media manipulation, compelling female characters, unexpected narrative twists — depalma has made a film that simultaneously conveys the confident touch of a master and the energy of a newcomer eager to prove himself. the result is de palma' s most satisfying movie since 2002' s
femme fatale .
the plotting of passion is nothing overly exciting or elaborate, just the facts and then a single minded obsession for the bulk of the movie but it works just fine. for a solidly average story and a low budget affair it has a lot of interesting and beautiful things going for it. director allen dwan spends a lot of time in the first parts of the film to show us wilde is a loving man and his new home is full of joy, contrasted with the mean acosto who whips his son and brutally murders women and the elderly defending their homes. as for the dual role, even a tomboyish de carlo is still a de carlo. instead of distinctly different looks the sisters are differentiated by behaviour, so she’s just as gorgeous in both roles and it’s amusing to see wilde so smitten with one while chuckling at the other when she says she owns a dress and plans to wear it. it won’t surprise viewers that as the only remaining member of the family he loved, as a woman identical to his lost love, and as one so dedicated to helping wilde, he warms to her by the end of the picture .
this is a wonderful movie of the fifties, with a cast of stars that in today? s film world would be unheard off. the budget to get these stars together today would make anyone faint. rock hudson, jane wyman, and agnes moorehead. i grew up thinking agnes moorehead was a witches mother and she looked like one on bewitched. but in this movie as in others from the fifties she proved to be a glorious actress. rock hudson plays the part of a young millionaire with not a care in the world till his life is save at the expense of another? s. he then falls in love with the wife of the man who dies, and the only way to win her is losing his spoiled ways and obtaining a magnificent obsession. how can any film the rock appear in be awarded anything less the 4 stars .
on a whole, i am not usually a fan of western films. however, i gave this a try because of the role played by yvonne de carlo. she does a good job here of playing the role of twin sisters - one demure one fiery. the name of the film relates less romance and more revenge as de carlo and wilde set off to avenge the death of de carlo' s demure sister. its good for a western !

since the film starts in medias res – as with frontier gal, the hero learns of a child years later – characters impart the information to juan and the family’s inherent existence should sufficiently motivate. but since wilde’s acting leaves a lot to be desired, you’d assume he’d act this way towards anyone wrongfully gunned down, and, seriously, the entire town, not just juan and tonia, should want to bring these murderers to justice. speaking of, raymond burr plays captain rodriguez, a local sheriff hunting down juan for killing the men who killed his family – wonder if the creators of the fugitive (1963) watched this? rodriguez’s motivations are as dubiously written as juan’s. there’s no proper explanation for why the real murderers aren’t arrested, short of needing to sustain the film’s runtime and mentioning tonia’s recognition of one of their voices isn’t enough. and, when the hunt adds in rodriguez, he doesn’t bring the real killers in as absolve juan for his misdeeds .

similar to zhao baogang ’s 1997 adaptation – which made a star out of the then ingénue xu jinglei – crimes of passion is driven largely by the growing affections between lu and kim, and how the detective battles her own conscience and professional (and patriotic) obligations as she becomes engaged and consummates her relationship with the gangland scion. but gao and his screenwriter huo yin (and also the novelist hai an himself) have chosen to deliver an update packed with external complications: in addition to foisting a lot of car chases, gunfights and various pyrotechnics into the proceedings – genre devices which do not necessarily add to the core of the story – the gangland warfare is also given an international dimension (chinese mobs, and rule - breaking cops for that matter, are never allowed to be shown on screen here), and lu actually caught in some kind of internal power struggle within her police squadron .
the special is the fifth installment in afi' s centennial celebration of american cinema, following the four critically - acclaimed network specials — afi' s 100 years... 100 movies, afi' s 100 years... 100 stars, afi' s 100 years... 100 laughs and afi' s 100 years... 100 thrills — which, each year, spark a national discussion of america' s film history among movie lovers across the nation. the last four afi specials were watched by an average of more than 11 million people .

complicated but underdeveloped revenge western. it' s full of incident, but the plot has enough holes to make a sieve. yvonne decarlo, for example, plays twin sisters to no good effect except to save on another actress' s salary. the cast includes lon chaney jr. and stuart whitman as a couple of dirty, stinking, low - rent villains, and raymond burr barrels around as a local police captain. it' s an alan dwan film, so it' s tight, pacy and good looking. some of the fun, though, is mitigated by the occasional sexism and having most of the authentic latino actors regelated to villain roles .
raymond burr is so associated with his characterization of television lawyer / detective perry mason that his rich and varied career in film, radio, and television is often ignored. his face, in the words of perry mason creator erle stanley gardner, is cow - eyed. he is broad shouldered, heavy, robust, but excelled at playing introverted rather than extroverted characters. this may be, in part, why burr accomplished the rare television feat in which actor becomes almost thoroughly identified with character, the performer inseparable from the role. just as william shatner is james kirk, peter falk is columbo, and carroll o' connor is archie bunker, burr is perry mason .
the devastated wilde spends the rest of the film looking for justice. the first clue comes when de carlo recognizes chaney’s booming voice in town, but just on her word, they get no help from the local lawman, played by raymond burr. when wilde catches up to the first henchman on his list, he gets a confession but has to kill the criminal in self defense. a sympathetic burr distracts his partner anthony caruso, lets wilde and de carlo escape, and as wilde works his way through the gang members and finally the leader, you have burr trying to give wilde room without making caruso too suspicious, plus the question of how wilde will ever be reunited with his baby .
and it is grounded, and made most exemplary, by cynthia nixon’s performance. every actor in this movie is wonderful. but nixon’s precision in portraying every particular mood of emily—for each individual scene calls for absolute specificity—is simply spectacular. there are points in emily’s life when she is racked by illness, or possessed by a seeming madness. her fury at the misbehavior of a family member in one scene late in the film, as she rails against a perceived lack of integrity, is chilling because nixon makes the viewer see the extent to which emily is actually turning that rage back upon herself. every scene in the movie contains a performance revelation of almost equal power. i will be very surprised if i see a better performance from an american actor this year .
terence davies is ever a filmmaker in search of lost time. i do not believe he has ever made a feature film that is set in the present day, unless you count his 2008 documentary on his beloved hometown of liverpool, “ of time and the city, ” a present day from which he mourned the past. this is not to say that davies is any kind of nostalgia monger. in gazing at the past, he casts a cold eye on the oppression suffered by his characters, particularly his female ones. see his staggering 2000 adaptation of edith wharton ’s “ the house of mirth, ” starring gillian anderson, a near - surgical dissection of hypocrisy among the new york upper crust at the turn of the 19 th century to the 20 th. also his 2011 “ the deep blue sea, ” filmed from a terence rattigan play, in which rachel weisz ’s hester is trapped in a loveless marriage in post - world war ii britain .
who was emily dickinson? what kind of a person lurked behind the poet who spent most of her life on her parents' estate in amherst, massachusetts? this mansion provides the setting for a film that portrays an unconventional woman about whose life very little is known. born in 1803, dickinson is considered to be a gifted child, but an emotional trauma forces her to give up her studies. the introverted young woman withdraws from society and writes poetry. in spite of her cloistered existence she takes her readers on a journey into the wider world. terence davies imagines her biography and explores how emily dickinson’s exceptional poems could come into being. the camera glides delicately into a life in which poetry takes up more and more space. emily dickinson communicates with the outside world via letters. in her correspondence with her siblings and the clergyman charles wadsworth she exchanges philosophical and everyday observations. to her, wadsworth’s move to san francisco is a tragedy. davies’ biopic also describes a talented woman’s lonely and desperate struggle for recognition in a world dominated by men .

a conflict over land in old spanish california flares up into the deaths of several members of one homesteading family, and one of the survivors vows vengeance .
cornel wilde and yvonne de carlo strike me as being a couple who are absolutely meant for each other, but surprisingly, in this movie they don’t even get to kiss. she’s the tomboy (!) sister of the woman who’s the murder5ed mother of wilde’s son, and while she is obviously making eyes at him, he is so busy with revenge, he hardly notices her at all. a passionate affair it isn’t .
raymond burr plays the officer of the police who must bring his old friend to justice. if it weren’t for him, i’d never even have considered saving this movie on tape. (and even so, i didn’t. )
— reprinted from nothing accompliced # 4, november 1993 (slightly revised) .
in the photo, yvonne decarlo is looking an awful lot like gene tierney (?) .
you’re right. you have good eyes. scratch that one. i’ll go look for another image or two to use. thanks !
this is one of many allan dwan films i’ve never succeeded in tracking down .
since my review says i watched it on tape, i must have caught it on either tcm or american movie classics. it should still be around today in hands of collectors.
