  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.

  • “Devoted & Disgruntled”: Improbable's Devising, Eldership, and Open
    “Devoted & Disgruntled”: Improbable’s Devising, Eldership, and Open Space Technology DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ian Bradford Ngongotaha Pugh Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Lesley Ferris, Adviser Beth Kattelman Joy Reilly Copyright by Ian Bradford Ngongotaha Pugh 2013 Abstract Improbable, a London based, international theatre company, after having achieved over a decade of critical acclaim found themselves in an excellent position in the industry to serve the theatre community. Through what the company terms ‘eldership,’ the company has stepped back and placed more and more of their energy helping others, particularly young and emerging artists. Beginning with creating mentoring programs, and evolving into studying, training, and developing alternative leadership methods, the theatre company created a theatre conference like no other. Borrowing heavily from the Open Space Technology principles of Harrison Owen and the influence of Process Work and World Work pioneered by Arnold Mindell, Improbable created the Devoted & Disgruntled conferences. The Devoted & Disgruntled conferences have worked so well for Improbable because they mirror the ways that the company works when creating their devised performances. Like the company’s work, the Devoted & Disgruntled conferences are a collaborative endeavor. There are no invited speakers, the conference agenda is not preplanned, but is developed by those attending during the initial hour of the event in a collaborative process where all of the participants are empowered to take charge of issues and concerns they feel passionate about, opening dialogues, pooling resources and knowledge, and seeking actionable plans and solutions.

    1 Victoria and Abdul Reviewed by Garry Victor Hill Directed by Stephen Frears. Produced by Tim Bevan, Beeban Kidron, Tracey Seaward and Eric Felner. Screenplay by Lee Hall. Based on Victoria and Abdul by Shrabani Basu. Cinematography by Danny Cohen. Production Design by Alan MacDonald. Art Direction by Sarah Finlay. Original Music by Thomas Newman. Edited by Melanie Ann Oliver. Costumes by Adam Squires and Consolata Boyle. 2 Cinematic length: 112 minutes. Production Companies: BBC Films, Perfect World Pictures and Working Title Films. Cinematic release: September 2017 in Venice. Check for ratings. Rating 85%. All images are taken from the Public Domain, Wikipedia and Wiki Commons following requested permission steps. Written Without Prejudice Cast Judi Dench: Queen Victoria Ali Fazal: Abdul Karim Eddie Izzard: Bertie, Prince of Wales Tim Pigott-Smith: Sir Henry Ponsonby Adeel Akhtar: Mohammed Michael Gambon: Lord Salisbury Olivia Williams: Baroness Churchill Fenella Woolgar: Miss Phipps Julian Wadham: Alick Yorke Sukh Ojla: Mrs Karim Ruth McCabe: Mrs. Tuck Simon Callow: Puccini Jonathan Harden: Kaiser Wilhelm II Victoria and Abdul has come in for a great deal of criticism, but not from this reviewer. This a well-acted, visually opulent film. These qualities and the original and engrossing story make it enjoyable to watch and then muse over. 3 Doing that reveals many of the humorous touches, ironies and subtleties that tend to be missed on a first viewing: this is a film which stays in the mind. Victoria and Abdul tells the story of how two Indians, Abdul Karem (Ali Fazal) and Mohammed (Adeel Akhtar) go to England to present a ceremonial Mughal coin to Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) as part of India’s contribution to the 1887 golden jubilee celebrations of Victoria’s reign, but by the queen’s wish, they stay on, misplaced and in conflict with the English nobility’s world.
