  • INTRODUCTION Fatal Attraction and Scarface
    1 introduction Fatal Attraction and Scarface How We Think about Movies People respond to movies in different ways, and there are many reasons for this. We have all stood in the lobby of a theater and heard conflicting opin- ions from people who have just seen the same film. Some loved it, some were annoyed by it, some found it just OK. Perhaps we’ve thought, “Well, what do they know? Maybe they just didn’t get it.” So we go to the reviewers whose business it is to “get it.” But often they do not agree. One reviewer will love it, the next will tell us to save our money. What thrills one person may bore or even offend another. Disagreements and controversies, however, can reveal a great deal about the assumptions underlying these varying responses. If we explore these assumptions, we can ask questions about how sound they are. Questioning our assumptions and those of others is a good way to start think- ing about movies. We will soon see that there are many productive ways of thinking about movies and many approaches that we can use to analyze them. In Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1992), the actor playing Bruce Lee sits in an American movie theater (figure 1.1) and watches a scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) in which Audrey Hepburn’s glamorous character awakens her upstairs neighbor, Mr Yunioshi. Half awake, he jumps up, bangs his head on a low-hanging, “Oriental”-style lamp, and stumbles around his apart- ment crashing into things.

  • Hollywood Party. Retrospettiva Blake Edwards – I Parte
    COMUNICATO STAMPA Il Museo Nazionale del Cinema presenta al Cinema Massimo Hollywood Party. Retrospettiva Blake Edwards – I parte 5 ottobre – 1 novembre 2011 Cinema Massimo - via Verdi, 18, Torino Il Museo Nazionale del Cinema dedica a Blake Edwards - regista, sceneggiatore, attore e produttore cinematografico statunitense - un‟ampia rassegna dal titolo HOLLYWOOD PARTY. Retrospettiva Blake Edwards. L‟omaggio al regista è un progetto del Museo Nazionale del Cinema in collaborazione con la Cineteca di Bologna. La seconda parte della retrospettiva si svolgerà da venerdì 18 a martedì 22 novembre. Un grande autore di commedie, un vero e proprio “scienziato dell'allegria”, come l'ha definito Roberto Benigni, l'ultimo attore che ha lavorato con lui. Nato nel 1922, Blake Edwards, pseudonimo di William Blake McEdwards, è considerato uno dei grandi maestri della commedia, nonostante si sia cimentato con i generi più disparati, dal dramma al musical e dal poliziesco al western. La sua prima regia, Quando la ragazza è bella del 1955, segna già il suo destino di esperto del genere, confermato in seguito dal kolossal comico Operazione sottoveste del 1959. Ma è nel 1961, quando adatta per il grande schermo il romanzo di Truman Capote, Colazione da Tiffany, che entra definitivamente nell'Olimpo hollywoodiano, anche grazie all'interpretazione indimenticabile di Audrey Hepburn. Un successo dopo l‟altro nella carriera del cineasta statunitense, che nel 1963 debutta con una delle serie più esilaranti e longeve della storia del cinema, Pantera Rosa, con Peter Sellers nei panni dello stravagante ispettore Clouseau, a caccia del ladro di gioielli interpretato da David Niven. Non solo Clouseau, però.

Bilko, M*A*S*H and the Heyday of U.S. Military Sitcoms (1955-75) Dennis Tredy 1 If the title of this paper quotes part of the refrain from Edwin Starr’s 1970 protest song, “War,” the song’s next line, proclaiming that war is good for “absolutely nothing” seems inaccurate, at least in terms of successful television sitcoms of from the 1950s to the 1970s. In fact, while Starr’s song was still an anti-Vietnam War battle cry, ground- breaking television programs like M*A*S*H (CBS, 1972-1983) were using laughter and tongue-in-cheek treatment of the horrors of war to provide a somewhat more palatable expression of the growing anti-war sentiment to American audiences.

They are known for: North by Northwest Notorious To Catch a Thief Their biography: “Once told by an interviewer,”Everybody would like to be Cary Grant“, Grant is said to have replied,”So would I." Cary Grant was born Archibald Alec Leach in Horfield, Bristol, England, to Elsie Maria (Kingdon) and Elias James Leach, who worked in a factory. His early years in Bristol would have been an ordinary lower-middle-class childhood, except for one extraordinary event. At age nine, he came home from school one day and was told his mother had gone off to a seaside resort. The real truth, however, was that she had been placed in a mental institution, where she would remain for years, and he was never told about it (he wouldn’t see his mother again until he was in his late 20s). He left school at fourteen, lying about his age and forging his father’s signature on a letter to join Bob Pender’s troupe of knockabout comedians. He learned pantomime as well as acrobatics as he toured with the Pender troupe in the English provinces, picked up a Cockney accent in the music halls in London, and then in July 1920 was one of the eight Pender boys selected to go to the US.
