Burleigh goes on tour, but does not realize that all his fights have been corrected, and his opponents asked to take a dive to create his image. He comes to believe that he is a really great fighter, and develops a swollen head. Polly and Susie are not happy with the turn of events. Meanwhile, Speed and Susie have become the item themselves. Burleigh's contract is bought by Mr Austin, his former boss at Sunflower Milk, for $50,000, and it is set up to fight speed for a charity fundraiser organised by socialite Ms Winthrop Lyemann. Speed accidentally got an overdose of sleeping pills and falls asleep during the fight, so Burleigh wins by default. Burleigh doesn't want to retire without being KO'd, but Mrs. LeMoyne accidentally does just that. Now Burley can retire with a clear conscience. As promised by Mr. Austin, he got a partnership in a dairy company, with his former competitor and new friend, Speed, as one of the district managers. But Gabby and Spider work as milkmen.

Released in 1946, Norman Kew was a director and Samuel Goldwyn was a producer. This remake was in the form of an American musical comedy. The film stars Danny Kay, Vera-Ellen, Walter Abel, Virginia Mayo, Faye Beinter, Steve Cochran and Eva Arden. As in the original version, and in the remake, Lionel Sanders appears as Spider Schultz. The film tells the story of a milkman who rises to the top of the boxing world, becoming a world boxing champion. Plot Burley Sullivan (Kaye) is a mild-mannered and well-meaning milkman who, during an early morning round, meets an out-of-work, beautiful singer, Polly Pringle (Mayo) for the first time. True to his nature, he tries to get Polly a job at the club where Susie (Vera-Ellen), his sister, performs. Despite his good intentions, he loses his job. When meeting his sister after her performance, he notices a drunk boxer, Speed MacFarlane, and his bodyguard, Spider, molesting her. During the fight, Burleigh knocks out speed, and this infuriates his manager Gabby Sloan. In another argument, Burleigh knocks out the speed again, but this time, the photographers get a snapshot of this happening. In truth, Spider is responsible for knocking out speed accidentally because of Burleigh's tendency to block, and his quick footwork. As local newspapers pick up the story, Gabby decides to make money by making Burleigh a fighter. As Gabby takes Burley on tour, he faces opponents who have been paid to take a dive and lose the match. Not realizing what's going on, Burleigh begins to think he's a great fighter. These victories begin to come into his head, and Susie and Polly are not happy with the events as they unfold. With its growing popularity, Burleigh has attracted the attention of his former boss, Mr. Austin, when he worked at Sunflower Milk. Mr Austin pays $50,000 for his contract and creates a charity fight between Burleigh and Speed. The fight is a fundraiser put together by Ms. E. Winthrop LeMoyne. During the fight, Speed falls asleep after an overdose on sleeping pills by accident. This leads to Burleigh winning by default. The possibility of retirement without getting knocked out, however, does not sit With Burley. Needing this to get a clear clear he accidentally KO'd Ms. LeMoyne. With this successful turn of events, Burleigh is retiring. He also gets a partnership in a dairy company, which Mr. Austin promised him. Now friends, Speed also gets the position of district manager. On the other hand, Spider and Gabby get a job as milkmen for the company.

  • Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair­ banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills.

  • (1949) a Warner Bros. Production. Produced by Louis F. Edelman. Directed by Raoul Walsh
    COMMUNICATION 140 INTRODUCTION TO FILM STUDIES White Heat (1949) A Warner Bros. Production. Produced by Louis F. Edelman. Directed by Raoul Walsh. Written by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts, from a story by Virginia Kellogg. Photographed by Sid Hickox. Edited by Owen Marks. Music by Max Steiner. With James Cagney (Cody Jarrett), Virginia Mayo (Verna Jarrett), Edmond O’Brien (Hank Fallon), Margaret Wycherly (Ma Jarrett), Steve Cochran (“Big Ed” Somers). When White Heat was released in 1949, it was alternately hailed and reviled as a hard-hitting, graphic exercise in brutality. Like other films of the gangster genre, it tapped two sensitive areas of the American psyche: one, the strain of violence which is an integral part of our culture; the other, a curiously ambivalent tendency to admire the successful individual, and yet condemn him for the aggression he employs in his rise to power. White Heat, however, differs from its predecessors in at least one important respect. Unlike the gangster heroes of the thirties, the genesis of Cody Jarrett cannot be analyzed wholly in terms of the tooth-and-nail struggle for survival in the underworld of the big city. Jarrett, rather, appears as an anti-hero with several tragic flaws—among them, inherited insanity, a strong Oedipal attachment to his mother, and a susceptibility to severe headaches in moments of stress. It is the combination of these weaknesses with the inherent dangers of gangsterism that leads to his downfall. White Heat, then moves away from purely sociological explanation into the realm of psychological aberration. The effectiveness of White Heat is due in large part to director Raoul Walsh’s instinctive command of the male action film, as well as his ability to elicit from the tough James Cagney a degree of pathos and vulnerability..

  • Bamcinématek Presents Under the Influence: Scorsese/Walsh, a 12
    BAMcinématek presents Under the Influence: Scorsese/Walsh, a 12-film series pairing Martin Scorsese works with their inspirations from Raoul Walsh’s seminal oeuvre, Mar 12—26 Opens with Walsh’s Regeneration, featuring live piano by acclaimed silent film accompanist Steve Sterner The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Feb 12, 2014—From Wednesday, March 12 through Wednesday, March 26, BAMcinématek presents Under the Influence: Scorsese/Walsh, pairing six Scorsese classics with their inspirations from Raoul Walsh’s seminal oeuvre. The still-undervalued Walsh’s lean, mean portraits of gangsters, knack for evoking gritty urban locales, and assured handling of white- knuckle action provide a virtual template for modern-day maestro (and avowed Walsh admirer) Martin Scorsese’s work. Viewed side by side, the films of these two iconic auteurs reveal a fascinating and ongoing creative dialogue across the generations. One of the great action directors of the Hollywood studio era, Raoul Walsh was the swaggering, manly-man artist behind some of the best movies to star James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, and Errol Flynn. ―Walsh’s explosive outcast characters were bigger than life,‖ said Martin Scorsese, whose own violent, masculine oeuvre is just as full of explosive outcasts. ―Their lust for life was insatiable, even as their actions precipitated their tragic destiny. The world was too small for them.‖ Walsh was ―probably Scorsese’s single most important influence,‖ wrote critic Dave Kehr (Moving Image Source), even if Scorsese’s debts to Michael Powell, Luchino Visconti, and other filmmakers have been more widely acknowledged over the years.

  • Film Noir Classics -- Movie Posters 1948-1950
    FILM NOIR CLASSICS -- MOVIE POSTERS 1948-1950 The distinctive style of movies of the golden age of Film Noir, the genre of Hollywood crime dramas distinguished by liberal doses of sex and cynicism, is captured in the striking graphics of these classic movie posters. The portrait that emerges of a darker side of mid-twentieth century America makes them a compelling resource for the study of that period as well as for film history archives. The light-hearted Gary Cooper / Barbara Stanwyck comedy “Ball of Fire” of 1941 that we include at the end of this listing drives home this contrast…but no matter what, somebody is going to get burned… Clicking on the item picture will take you to our website for ordering via our secure online system. We hope that you will enjoy this selection. Elisabeth Burdon & Craig Clinton ____________________________________________________ Backfire. Warner Bros. Hollywood. 1948 - 1950. One-sheet color silk-screen poster, 40 x 30 inches, for the 1950 Warner Brothers production "Backfire" directed by Vincent Sherman and starring Gordon MacRae, Edmond O’Brien, and Virginia Mayo (the film was completed in late 1948 but not released until 1950). The poster, a scarce item and in very good condition, was produced by Western Poster Company, San Francisco. "Backfire," a complicated drama involving numerous flashbacks, concerns a World War II veteran Bob Corey (MacRae), a nurse he meets while hospitalized, Julie Benson (Mayo), and Corey's good friend Steve Connolly (O'Brien). After considerable mayhem as the drama unfolds, including a near fatal attempt on Connolly's life, the film delivers a happy ending with the trio heading for Bob and Julie's new ranch.
