Si no lo hacen, serán automáticamente desheredados. Agobiados por el ambiente asfixiante que emponzoña la casa, un asesinato enrarecerá aún más la situación, por lo que el fiscal del distrito de Nueva York, John F.X. Markham, no duda en recurrir a su pedante y erudito amigo Philo Vance, para que le ayude a resolver un caso que se va complicando de manera mortal. La tercera novela de la serie de este detective mítico —para muchos una de las mejores—, mantiene en vilo al lector hasta las últimas páginas y, al igual que las anteriores, fue lle- vada al cine con William Powell como protagonista. En el año de su publicación, 1928, se convirtió en uno de los libros más vendidos en Estados Unidos.. El autor S. S. Van Dine (Charlottesville, Virginia, 1888 - Nueva York, 1939) es el pseudónimo utilizado por Willard Hun- tington Wright para escribir las novelas policíacas del detective Philo Vance, doce títulos que entre 1926 y 1939 revolucionaron la novela de misterio, con un enorme éxito internacional de público. La serie, adaptada a la radio y al cine, la protagoniza un adinerado excombatiente de la Primera Guerra Mundial, sofisticado coleccionista de arte, experto en jarrones chinos de la época Ming, dandy y cínico, que con la asistencia del propio Van Dine ayuda a resolver casos aparentemente imposibles a John F.

    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. Phillips, Jr. (MP) CHRISTMAS IN JULY | 1940 july 7, 2007 Director: Preston Sturges Striking while the iron was hot, America’s foremost cinematic satirist rushed his second feature as director intro production before his debut had even opened. Preston Sturges was eager to make use of a story he had been kicking around Universal for a decade: a regular go-getter (Dick Powell) is duped into thinking he’s won $25,000 in an advertising slogan contest with his asinine entry.

  • William Powell ~ 23 Films
    William Powell ~ 23 Films William Horatio Powell was born 29 July 1892 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1907, he moved with his family to Kansas City, Missouri, where he graduated from Central High School in 1910. The Powells lived just a few blocks away from the Carpenters, whose daughter Harlean also found success in Hollywood as Blonde Bombshell Jean Harlow, although she and Powell did not meet until both were established actors. After school, Powell attended New York City's American Academy Of Dramatic Arts. Work in vaudeville, stock companies and on Broadway followed until, in 1922, aged 30, playing an evil henchman of Professor Moriarty in a production of Sherlock Holmes, his Hollywood career began. More small parts followed and he did sufficiently well that, in 1924, he was signed by Paramount Pictures, where he stayed for the next seven years. Though stardom was elusive, he did eventually attract attention as arrogant film director Lev Andreyev in The Last Command (1928) before finally landing his breakthrough role, that of detective Philo Vance in The Canary Murder Case (1929). Unlike many silent actors, the advent of sound boosted Powell's career. His fine, urbane voice, stage training and comic timing greatly aided his successful transition to the talkies. However, not happy with the type of roles he was getting at Paramount, in 1931 he switched to Warner Bros. His last film for them, The Kennel Murder Case (1933), was also his fourth and last Philo Vance outing. In 1934 he moved again, to MGM, where he was paired with Myrna Loy in Manhattan Melodrama (1934).

    The Benson Murder Case Van Dine, S. S. Published: 1926 Type(s): Novels, Crime/Mystery Source: http://gutenberg.net.au 1 About Van Dine: S. S. Van Dine was the pseudonym of Willard Huntington Wright (October 15, 1888 - April 11, 1939), a U.S. art critic and author. He created the once immensely popular fictional detective Philo Vance, who first appeared in books in the 1920s, then in movies and on the radio. Willard Huntington Wright was born to Archibald Davenport Wright and Annie Van Vranken Wright on October 15, 1888, in Charlottesville, Virginia. He attended St. Vincent College, Pomona College, and Harvard University. He also studied art in Munich and Paris, an apprenticeship that led to a job as literary and art critic for the Los Angeles Times. Wright's early career in literature (1910 - 1919) was taken up by two causes. One was literary Naturalism. He wrote a novel, The Man of Promise, and some short stories in this mode; as editor of the magazine The Smart Set he also published similar fiction by others. In 1917, he published Misinforming a Nation, a scathing critique of the inaccuracies and English biases of the Encyclopedia Britannica Eleventh Edition. In 1907, Wright married Katharine Belle Boynton of Seattle, Washing- ton. He married for a second time in October 1930. His wife was Eleanor Rulapaugh, known professionally as Claire De Lisle, a portrait painter. From 1912 to 1914 he edited The Smart Set, a New York literary magazine. He published What Nietzsche Taught in 1915. In this book, he provided information and comments on all of Nietzsche's books, as well as quotations from each book.

Since the early twentieth century, the modernist novel has defined its aesthetic project as a retreat from or resistance to mass culture, creating what Andreas Huyssen has called the “Great Divide.” Yet one of the central ambiguities of high modernism is its strange fascination with the low. The modernist novel displays an obsession with “the masses” even as it attempts to use this “vulgarity” to elevate its own aesthetic status. If modernism abandons the field of high art production to study “low life,” then it is surprising to find that the representation of high aestheticism surfaces with greatest frequency in one of the most “vulgar” forms of mass fiction: the American hardboiled novel.
