Ronald Reagan Es Lronald Reagan.. El Cine a Veces (Como El Arte) Imita a La Vida PERSONALIDADES (II) Ronald Reagan es LRonald Reagan.. El cine a veces (como el arte) imita a la vida. Lo intere- san te es cuando la vida imita al arte. Esa posibilidad es 'H mucho más variable cada vez que los protagonistas de fic- W w H c'°n V^° rea!'dad son la misma persona. Es el caso de ú¿W r R°nald Reagan. Como presidente de USA parece estar repitiendo algunos tramos de su gestión como actor. Esa curiosidad, ironías a un lado, es el motivo de esta nota, donde el mayor problema obviamente ha sido la escasa per­ manencia de películas de segunda o tercera categoría en las que intervino el actor Reagan, films olvidables que —quien iba a pensar— ahora pueden parecer más memorables de lo que real­ mente fueron y son. Cosas de la vida, o del destino. Ronald Reagan empezó luchando contra villanos en 1937 (Love is on the Air) cuan­ do algún libretista lunático tuvo la mala- dada idea de hacer que un locutor radial fuera capaz de dejar en evidencia a un atado de villanos que asediaban a la linda June Travis. La segunda mala idea rué del direc­ to r Nick Grindé quien supuso que Reagan era el tipo indicado para ese valiente locu­ tor. Desde entonces el actor se dedicó a trompear a los malos, poner ceño fruncido ante dificultades, y ciertamente a ganarse la vida con ese mundo de ficción que fue y es el cine de Hollywood. A lo largo de co­ medias musicales (donde no cantó gran co­ sa), westerns de clase Z, alguna que otra comedia y mucha película violenta suma­ mente olvidable, Reagan fue incapaz de completar la imagen de hombre recio, de­ cidido e impasible que pór ejemplo alcanza­ ría el insensible Alan Ladd, un meritorio competidor que no llegó a presidente de USA por aquellos azares del destino. Como la carrera de actor (concluida con poca gloria y se desconoce si con alguna pena en 1964) le fue insatisfactoria Reagan se las ingenió para que lo aceptaran en los años siguientes como locutor de comerciales para T V , en los que sin embargo se demostró insuficiente para prolongar su mensaje de­ mocrático. El cortometraje, con alguna ex­ cepción (The Truth About Communism, 1963, por ejemplo), siempre le sentó mal, llamado probablemente a empresas mayo­ res. Tuvo que esperar dieciseis años para cum plir el viejo sueño esbozado en años de actor con vaivenes. FREGADOS Y BARRIDOS. - A di­ ferencia de Humphrey Bogart, con quien 15 actuó en un par de films, y que tenía su propia personalidad, Ronald Reagan hizo los papeles más variados. Como locutor radial, a los que se dedicaba antes de hacer pelícu­ las (Love is on the A ir, la primera en el 37, o en Boy Meets Girl un año después) Reagan tuvo poco fu turo ; en su segundo intento radial, el papel era insignificante, estaba octavo en el reparto y no había villa­ nos a la vista porque la historieta era senti­ mental. Su segundo oficio como actor le permitió una continuidad más interesante y prolongada en algunos años: fue agente secreto en 1939 (Burlando la ley), 1940 (Desenmascarados), 1954 (Experimento pe­ ligroso). Empero esa dedicación al espionaje sólo le resultaría cóhnoda en el tercero de los intentos, donde se dejaba capturar por los coreanos (del norte, desde luego) para comprobar las torturas que practicaban malvados comunistas contra prisioneros ¿ ACUSARIA USTED ? norteamericanos muy republicanos.

S ist wie fast jedes Jahr: erst wenn alle Anderen ihren Urlaub schon absolviert haben, sind wir dran. Aber so ein richtiger Urlaub ist das eigentlich gar nicht. Nichts von we- gen faul am Strand liegen und sich Filme in HD auf dem Smartphone reinziehen!

Und da möchte man natürlich schon vor- her wissen, ob sich ein Kauf lohnen wird. Nach unserer Sommerpause werden wir in einem der Newsletter wieder ein Resümee des Festivals ziehen. Es wird sich also lohnen weiter am Ball zu blei- ben. Ab Montag, den 17.

    It’s a busy year for birthdays: John Wayne, FROM THE Laurence Olivier, Barbara Stanwyck, Fay Wray, Burgess Meredith, Katharine Hepburn, Gene BOOTH Autry, and Rosalind Russell, among others, would have turned 100 this year. We’re celebrating by NOT slavishly following the mob of classic-movie stations that will be running King Kong and His Girl Friday and Git Along Little Dogies in ’round-the- from the booth clock birthday bashes. Instead, we’re doing what we do best: dig through the vaults for unheralded gems and seldom-screened classics. So instead of Fay Wray screaming and John Wayne shooting, we have Walter Huston saving America (again!) in Gabriel Over the White House, Henry Fonda winning World War II in The Immortal Sergeant, Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney putting on a show (again!) in Strike Up the Band, and Judy Holliday foreseeing American Idol’s cult of instant celebrity in It Should Happen to You. And, for a change of pace, we’ve got giant grasshoppers, giant scorpions, giant creatures from Venus, and one tiny, tiny man in a handful of 1950s sci-fi classics scattered throughout the season. (Speaking of anniversaries, if you blinked, you probably missed the 35th anniversary of this very theater back in May. Happy birthday to us.) Program by Michael King (MK) and Michael W.
