Alzheimer's Disease is not senility, and it is not a normal part of the aging process. It is a disease. It can strike anyone. It is the most common cause of severe intellectual impairment in older people. Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative brain disease that causes progressive loss of memory and mental abilities. It is often accompanied by depression and personality change. The cause is unknown. The symptoms and rate of progression vary, but for most patients, the disease progresses slowly over a period of 5 to 10 years, or longer. Alzheimer's is irreversible and fatal. It may be diagnosed only by a physician and only after a thorough physical, psychological, and neurological evaluation. So if you know any one suffering from Alzheimer's or Dementia, take him to the Doctor for diagnosis or to the organisation who offer psycho socio care facilities. .

Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2006. 374-391. Hollywood, soon to become the United States’ national film industry, was founded in the early teens by a group of film companies which came to Los Angeles at first to escape the winter conditions of their New York- and Chicago-based production locations. However, the advantages of production in southern California—particularly the varied landscapes in the region crucial for exterior, on-location photography—soon made Hollywood the dominant film production center in the country.i Hollywood, of course, is not synonymous with filmmaking in the United States. Before the early 1910s, American filmmaking was mostly New York-based, and specialized in the production of short films (circa 1909, a one-reel short, or approximately 10 minutes). At the time, French film companies dominated global film distribution, and it was more likely that one would see a French film in the United States than an American-produced one.

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.

Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965
The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release June 1990 Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965 July 1 - September 11, 1990 This summer, The Museum of Modern Art pays tribute to Twentieth Century Fox with a retrospective of over ninety films made between 1935 and 1965. Opening on July 1, 1990, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX: 1935-1965 traces three key decades in the history of the studio, celebrating the talents of the artists on both sides of the cameras who shaped this period. The exhibition continues through September 11. Formed in 1915, the Fox Film Corporation merged in 1935 with the much younger Twentieth Century to launch a major new studio. Under the supervision of Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century Fox developed a new house style, emphasizing epic biographies such as John Ford's The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936) and Allan Dwan's Suez (1938) and snappy urban pictures such as Sidney Lanfield's Hake Up and Live (1937) and Roy Del Ruth's Thanks a Million (1935). The studio also featured such fresh screen personalities as Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, and Shirley Temple. From this time on, the studio masterfully anticipated and shaped the tastes of the movie-going public. During World War II, Twentieth Century Fox made its mark with a series of exuberant Technicolor musicals featuring such actresses as Betty Grable and Carmen Miranda. After the war, the studio shifted focus and began to highlight other genres including films noirs such as Edmund Goulding's Nightmare Alley (1947) and Otto Preminger's Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950), wry satirical films such as Joseph L.

Every version belongs to the myth.” Claude Levi-Strauss, The Structural Study of Myth Thinking Gender 17th Annual Graduate Student Research Conference February 2, 2007 UCLA Stulman 2 “Femme/s, Film/s, Noir/e: Revisions” Film noir is a relatively small group of films, which span the years between World War II and the late 1950s. These films share a number of stylistic conventions which include the use of various permutations of stereotypical bad girl/femme fatale and good girl/household nun (Martin 207) type characters. In most of these films, women and their sexuality are considered to be (as Freud believed) “ a dark continent” (Breger 331), symbolically “Other” (Leitch 1283), outside the norm, therefore not ‘normal.’ This phallocentric bias permeates film noir (as well as most film up until that point, and since,) and “reflects the normal status of women within contemporary society” (Harvey 38). However, due to noir’s topsy-turvy nature, where contradictions, nightmares, narrative disconnects, and role reversals abound, “the normal representation of women as the founders of families undergoes an interesting displacement” (38). This displacement came about in society and film noir in part as a reaction to the horrifying effects of World War II on America and the survivors of the Nazi terror.
