  • GUNSMOKE TV CAST and DETAILS Premiered
    GUNSMOKE TV CAST AND DETAILS Premiered: September 10, 1955, on CBS Rating: TV-PG Premise: This landmark adult Western centered on Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City. John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing). Gunsmoke Cast • James Arness : Marshal Matt Dillon • Milburn Stone : Dr. Galen `Doc' Adams • Amanda Blake : Kitty Russell • Dennis Weaver : Chester Goode • Ken Curtis : Festus Haggen • Burt Reynolds : Quint Asper • James Nusser : Louie Pheeters • Charles Seel : Barney Danches • Howard Culver : Howie Culver • Tom Brown : Ed O'Connor • John Harper : Percy Crump • Dabbs Greer : Mr. Jonus • George Selk : Moss Grimmick • Hank Patterson : Hank Miller • Glenn Strange : Sam • Sarah Selby : Ma Smalley • Ted Jordan : Nathan Burke • Roger Ewing : Clayton Thaddeus `Thad' Greenwood • Roy Roberts : Mr. Bodkin • Woody Chamblis : Mr. Lathrop • Buck Taylor : Newly O'Brien • Charles Wagenheim : Halligan • Pat Hingle : Dr. John Chapman • Fran Ryan : Miss Hannah Gunsmoke Credits • Sam Peckinpah : Screenwriter Gunsmoke Directors • Harry Horner : Director Gunsmoke Guest Cast • Aaron Saxon : Basset • Aaron Spelling : Weed Pindle • Abraham Sofaer : Harvey Easter • Adam West : Hall

  • John Cassavetes
    JOHN CASSAVETES John Cassavetes era hijo de inmigrantes griegos; su padre, Nicholas, llegó en 1908 y se casó en 1926, con una griega quince años más joven. Eran muy humildes, pero el padre se dedicó a ayudar a los inmigrantes de su país. John creció en Long Island, y estudió en el instituto en Nueva Jersey antes de ingresar a la Academia de Artes Dramáticas (American Academy of Dramatic Arts), que eligió antes de hacer cualquier otro trabajo. Tras su graduación en 1950, actuó en el teatro, en papeles secundarios en películas y en varias series de televisión. En 1954, Cassavetes se casó con la actriz Gena Rowlands, nacida en 1930, con la que trabajaría toda su vida, a poco de conocerla. Como señala su gran biógrafo, R. Carney, eran dos personas de carácter y de orígenes sociales muy diferentes (ella procedía de familia adinerada); ambos eran conflictivos y de valía; parte de sus vidas se reflejará en los filmes de John. Hacia 1956, comenzó a enseñar el "método" en talleres en Nueva York. Un ejercicio de improvisación le dio la idea para lanzarse a su primer largometraje, Shadows (1959). Cassavetes obtuvo los fondos de su familia y de sus amigos, así como del programa de radio Night People. Cassavetes fue incapaz de conseguir que ninguna distribuidora norteamericana lanzase Shadows, así que probó fortuna en Europa, donde consiguió el premio de la crítica en el Festival de Venecia. Los distribuidores europeos llevaron posteriormente la película a los Estados Unidos como si se tratara de una importación. A pesar de que su distribución en los Estados Unidos no fue muy amplia, consiguió llamar la atención de los estudios de Hollywood.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Cassavetes, the First Complete New York Directorial Retrospective of the Godfather of American Independent Cinema in Over a Decade, Jul 6—31
    BAMcinématek presents Cassavetes, the first complete New York directorial retrospective of the godfather of American independent cinema in over a decade, Jul 6—31 20 films, all in 35mm Series also features highlights from Cassavetes’ acting career “You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all.”—John Cassavetes The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAM Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek. Brooklyn, NY/Jun 11, 2013—From Saturday, July 6 through Wednesday, July 31, BAMcinématek presents Cassavetes, a comprehensive retrospective of films directed by and starring the founding father of American independent cinema. The series will showcase all 12 of the films that Cassavetes directed (the first complete retrospective in New York for 15 years), as well as a selection of Cassavetes’ underappreciated work as an actor. Every film in the series will screen on 35mm—an essential component to fully appreciating the glorious, grainy shadows of Cassavetes’ after-midnight soul-searching. Cassavetes opens (fittingly) on Saturday, July 6, with the director’s 1977 backstage melodrama Opening Night featuring Gena Rowlands as a Margo Channing-type actress who refuses to accept her fading star quality until the death of a worshiping young fan pushes her over the edge. With echoes of All About Eve and Renoir’s The Golden Coach, this heartbreaking tragedy is one of the most provocative and enigmatic works of his oeuvre. A breakout star of the “kitchen sink” school of live television, Cassavetes first gained widespread attention for his role in Martin Ritt’s Edge of the City (1957—Jul 8). This pro-labor buddy picture about two dock workers (the other played by Sidney Poitier) depicts a then- daring interracial friendship and a host of gritty New York locations.
