Orson Welles had planned to produce, direct and star Journey into Fear RKO's Journey Into Fearbut prior commitments compelled him to vacate the director's chair in favor of Norman Foster. Joseph Cottenwho starred as an American gunnery engineer up to his armpits in international intrigue, adapted the screenplay from the Journey into Fear by Eric Ambler. Targeted for extermination by the Gestapo, Cotten secretly books passage on a steamer bound from Turkey to Batumi. His fellow passengers include dancer Dolores Del Rio and her gigolo partner Jack Durant ; talkative Frenchwoman Agnes Moorehead and her browbeaten husband Frank Readick ; German archaeologist Journey into Fear Wyatt ; and a secretive, obese, thick-spectacled Journey into Fear, played by Orson Welles ' business partner Jack Moss. From the outset, it is no secret that Moss is a Nazi assassin. The question: who are his contacts, and how long will it be before Cotten is forced into a showdown? The very complex storyline was made even more Journey into Fear by RKO's decision to pare the film down to 69 minutes; several resultant plot gaps had to be bridged by an ongoing offscreen narration, presented in the form of a letter written by Cotten to his worried wife Ruth Warrick. As one can see, virtually the entire roster of Welles ' Mercury Theatre troupe is involved in Journey into Fear. Director Norman Foster so slavishly imitates the patented Wellesian visual style Journey into Fear Welles ' pre-production "storyboards" dictating choice of camera angle, lighting etc. Remade for Canadian TV in Mind Games. Related Movies. Journey into Fear ( film) - Wikipedia Journey into Journey into Fear is a American spy film directed by Norman Fosterbased on the Eric Ambler novel of the same name. The Mercury Production was also produced by Journey into Fear, again uncredited. Inan alternate cut was shown at a Welles film retrospective at the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland. It was the original Journey into Fear release print, lacking the narration and ending of the US version but including about six minutes of footage deleted by RKO Pictures. In an opening scene before the credits, an assassin, Banat, is seen preparing a gun while a gramophone skips as it plays. The story that follows is the narrative of a letter from Howard Graham, an American armaments engineer, to his wife Stephanie. While journeying to the Soviet port of Batumi to return to the United States to complete his business with the Turkish NavyGraham and his wife stop in Istanbul and are met by Journey into Fear, a Turkish employee of Graham's company, who under the pretense of discussing business, takes Graham to a nightclub to introduce him to dancer Josette Maretl and her partner Gogo. Banat tries Journey into Fear to kill Graham during a magic act, shooting the magician instead. Graham is brought to the headquarters of the Turkish secret police for questioning, where Colonel Haki blames the assassination attempt on German agents seeking to delay the re-arming of Turkish ships. The colonel shows Graham a photograph of Banat, who he says was hired by a Nazi agent named Muller. Haki then orders Graham to travel secretly to Batumi aboard a tramp steamer, while Haki personally oversees the safe overland transit of Stephanie. Graham's fellow passengers include Josette and Gogo; Kuvetli, an ingratiating Turkish tobacco salesman; Professor Haller, an apolitical German archeologist; and the henpecked Matthews and his French wife. Josette sees that Graham is frightened, and not knowing that he is married, tries to become close to him. At an interim port call, Graham is made aware of the arrival of a new passenger by the annoying clamor of a gramophone, while Haller warns him that Kuvetli is Journey into Fear who he claims to be. At dinner Graham recognizes Banat and tries to persuade the ship's captain and purser to put him ashore, but they believe that he is crazy. Graham Journey into Fear to Josette for help and she has Gogo engage Banat in a poker game while Graham unsuccessfully searches Banat's cabin for the assassin's gun. When Graham returns to his own cabin, he is met by an armed Haller and deduces that he is actually Muller. Muller offers to spare Graham's life by delaying his return to the States for six weeks by having him taken to a hospital with a case of " typhus. Kuvetli was eavesdropping from the next cabin, however, and informs Graham that Muller's "plan" is just a scheme to get Graham away from the ship before murdering him. Kuvetli instructs Graham to pretend to agree to the plan but before the ship docks in Batumi to hide himself in an empty cabin while the Turkish agent arranges for the arrest of the German agents. When Graham goes to the empty cabin, he finds Kuvetli dead on Journey into Fear floor, murdered by Banat. Graham asks Mathews to deliver a message to the Turkish consul in Batumi to notify Haki. Matthews gives the unarmed Graham a pocket knife. Graham runs into Gogo, who bluntly offers to "give up" Josette for Graham to marry for a cash consideration. Muller and Banat coerce Graham into a waiting car. When the car has a flat tire, Graham jams Matthews' pocket knife into the horn, and in the ensuing commotion, jumps into Journey into Fear driver's seat, crashes the car into a shop window and escapes. That night, as a storm rages, Graham joins his wife at their hotel, but Muller arrives there first, impersonating a coworker from Graham's company. Banat intimidates Graham from leaving and Muller persuades Stephanie to join Haki Journey into Fear while he "talks business" with Graham. He leaves Graham to be killed by Banat, but Gogo enters the room to promote his deal for Josette and Banat shoots at him. Graham flees out of the room's window Journey into Fear the cornice of the building in the torrential rain, pursued by Banat and Muller. Trapped between them, he is saved when Haki appears and shoots Muller. Banat wounds Haki but blinded by the rain, misses Graham. The two struggle and Banat falls to his death. Back in the present, Haki tells Graham as he finishes the letter that Stephanie is waiting for him but wonders why the engineer took decisive action when he had been so indecisive before. Spent too Journey into Fear time running away. Eventually Joseph Cotten was assigned the lead on the basis of his performance in Citizen Kane. In July it was announced that Orson Welles would play a lead role and direct the film. Welles disregarded Hecht's script and wrote a new one with Joseph Cotten. He also brought in Jack Moss from Paramount Journey into Fear producer. Welles's involvement saw the addition to the cast of other people from his stock company, such as Ruth Warrick, Agnes Moorehead and Everett Sloane. Welles's work on Ambersons would mean that ultimately Journey into Fear was unable to direct the movie. Journey into Fear was in production January 6 — March 12, Peter Bogdanovich later asked Welles if he had Journey into Fear to do with directing the scene Journey into Fear the building ledge. Welles did produce and design the picture, and wrote the script with Joseph Cotten. Welles's main contribution as producer was the opening sequence in which the assassin listens to an old gramophone record while loading his gun. Welles said that at the time he thought he was the first to come up with a scene before the titles begin. Modern filmographies acknowledge Welles's contributions as director, producer and screenwriter. During the film's post production Welles was fired by RKO and his Mercury unit told to leave the studio. The film was edited without Welles's involvement. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Alabama May 23, 1985 Wrong or right The death penalty affects society By VICKY WALLACE Does a fist degree murderer deserve the death penalty? Can the death penalty serve as a deterrent? Who usually gets the death penalty? Is capital punishment wrong or right? These and other questions are being studied in Dr. Robert Bohm's Capital Punishment class this minimester. So far, Dr. Bohm's class has been studying historical aspects of the death penalty and Supreme Court cases dealing with the death penalty. Later on in their studies, the class will be talking about issues of deterrence. "We'll look at the question of whether or not the death penalty prevents other people from committing violent crimes by looking at evidence. Then we'll look at how the death penalty is actually administered in the United States,Dr. Bohm said.When a person is sentenced to death, thelperson may be either electrocuted, killed by a f-g squad, forced to inhale cyanide gas, hanged,,or given a lethalinjection,but it is up to each state which method is used. One might assume that the newest method, lethal in- jection, would be the most 'humane' or least painful, but according to Dr. Bohm, problems arise if any of the methods of capital punishment are not administered properly. "Lethal injection involves a combination of an ultra-short working barbituate, which is a central nervous system photo by Jerry Harris depressant,and a paralytic agent.

One of the long-standing controversies about Citizen Kane has been the authorship of the screenplay. In February Welles supplied Mankiewicz with pages of notes and put him under contract to write the first draft screenplay under the supervision of John Houseman , Welles's former partner in the Mercury Theatre. Welles later explained, "I left him on his own finally, because we'd started to waste too much time haggling. So, after mutual agreements on storyline and character, Mank went off with Houseman and did his version, while I stayed in Hollywood and wrote mine. The industry accused Welles of underplaying Mankiewicz's contribution to the script, but Welles countered the attacks by saying, "At the end, naturally, I was the one making the picture, after all—who had to make the decisions. I used what I wanted of Mank's and, rightly or wrongly, kept what I liked of my own. The terms of the contract stated that Mankiewicz was to receive no credit for his work, as he was hired as a script doctor. Mankiewicz also threatened to go to the Screen Writers Guild and claim full credit for writing the entire script by himself. After lodging a protest with the Screen Writers Guild, Mankiewicz withdrew it, then vacillated. The guild credit form listed Welles first, Mankiewicz second. Welles's assistant Richard Wilson said that the person who circled Mankiewicz's name in pencil, then drew an arrow that put it in first place, was Welles.

  • JOURNEY INTO FEAR a Lost Eric Ambler Story © Glenn Mosley, 2005
    JOURNEY INTO FEAR A lost Eric Ambler story © Glenn Mosley, 2005 By Glenn A. Mosley Director of Broadcasting School of Journalism and Mass Media University of Idaho A reviewer of the work of suspense author Eric Ambler once wrote that one of the keys to Ambler’s popularity with the public was his unique ability to use regular, everyday people in unusual situations. “The amateur as protagonist,” Ronald Ambrosetti wrote in “Dimensions of Detective Fiction,” “succeeds for Ambler by reducing all of the angst of international intrigue to a very personal level…Ambler gets the edge on suspense by making his spy- detective an average person—the reader identifies easily.” It was this very technique that Ambler was to employ in a largely forgotten story of his, though the title of the story may sound familiar. It was called “Journey Into Fear.” It is not, however, the famous thriller written by Ambler in the early 1940s and adapted by Orson Welles into a memorable film (another film version was also subsequently produced in 1974). This “Journey Into Fear” was a pilot for a proposed television series developed by Ambler and producer William Dozier in 1965, targeted for the 1966-67 season on NBC. However, the proposed series, to star film actor Jeffrey Hunter, did not sell, and has collected dust in film vaults ever since. Of course, Eric Ambler was a renowned novelist when he and Dozier began to develop the program in the summer of 1965, but he was well- acquainted with film and television, as well. Many of Ambler’s most famous novels had already been written by this time, including “Journey Into Fear,” “The Dark Frontier,” “Background to Danger,” and “Epitaph for a Spy.” All of these had been written prior to the outbreak of World War II.

Born in what was then British Guiana, she moved to the United Kingdom in the 1950s . Although Gilroy was a qualified teacher, racism prevented her getting a post for some time, and she had to work as a washer, a factory clerk and maid. Eventually she was employed and became the first Black headteacher in London. Her experiences of those years are told in her unconventional autobiography Black Teacher. Gilroy's creative writing began much earlier, in childhood, as a teacher for children and then in the 1960s when she began writing what was later published In Praise of Love and Children, a rare account of a woman’s experience of migration from the Caribbean.
