  • The Long Goodbye I 1973 Directed by Robert Altman
    TCM BREAKFAST CLUB SCREENING The Long Goodbye I 1973 Directed by Robert Altman With characteristic fearlessness, director Robert Altman dared to offend the purists with his 1970s interpretation of the Raymond Chandler classic The Long Goodbye (1973). It turned out to be a triumph for both him and its star, Elliott Gould. TCM writer David Humphrey assesses the film and describes it as a fine tribute to Altman, who died on November 20 at the age of 81. Raymond Chandler devotees were perhaps entitled to feel screen, and plainly gave priority to injecting comedy into the nervous at the news that Elliot Gould had been cast as Philip persona of Chandler’s sardonic, hardbitten private detective. For Marlowe in the 1973 movie The Long Goodbye. Bogart may have Brackett it was a return to familiar territory, as he had co-written been dead for 16 years, but many believed – and still do – that the script for Chandler‘s The Big Sleep (1946) with Bogie as his Marlowe was the definitive one.

Falcone (“Bridesmaids”) will play the lead in “I’m Not Dead Yet” (working title) as Sandy Lazarus, a driving instructor who, after learning he has a potentially fatal heart condition, decides to start speaking his mind and grab life by the horns. This personality change is greeted by shock and skepticism from his wife (Pyle), father (Gould) and children. “I’m Not Dead Yet” will shoot in September. TV Land’s second pilot, “Brothers-in-Law” (working title), will star Mohr (“Last Comic Standing”), Cooke (“Better With You”), Woglom (“Outlaw”) Pierson (“24”) and Coleman (“The Newsroom”). The pilot focuses on the family dynamic between Neil (Cooke) and his wife Cheska (Coleman) as they adjust to Van (Mohr), the eccentric fiancé of Cheska’s twin sister Maddie (Woglom).

    What about the real 'jazz film' movies? | Film | The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/nov/07/jazz-film/print Printing sponsored by: Shooting from the hip Yes, there are films about jazz, but what about 'jazz film' - movies that ooze the music's rhythm, attitude and creativity? David Thomson The Guardian, Friday 7 November 2008 larger | smaller It swings ... Elliott Gould in The Long Goodbye. Photo: Sportsphoto Ltd/Allstar Every now and then, every national or local film theatre reckons it's time for another season of "Jazz and the Movies". So all the over-cooked chestnuts come out of the fire again: we'll have Clint Eastwood's Bird; Nat King Cole playing WC Handy in St Louis Blues; Sinatra as Frankie Machine in The Man With the Golden Arm; Jazz On a Summer's Day, with Anita O'Day in that hat; Jackie McLean soloing on Shirley Clarke's film of The Connection; Diana Ross as Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues. Are you struggling yet? The Long Goodbye Production year: 1973 Country: USA Cert (UK): 18 Runtime: 112 mins Directors: Robert Altman Cast: Elliott Gould, Nina Van Pallandt, Sterling Hayden More on this film It's not that I'd want to exclude all of those films. I know Eastwood has an honourable history with jazz as listener, friend and occasional sketch artist at the piano. But Clint's piano is a lot less interesting than that from the Jeff Bridges character (it's Dave Grusin 1 of 4 8/25/11 1:39 PM What about the real 'jazz film' movies? | Film | The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/nov/07/jazz-film/print playing) in The Fabulous Baker Boys (a film that explains why a hip pianist might play garbage for a living instead of risking jazz).
