  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Ellen Burstyn, a Nine-Film Retrospective Tribute to the Oscar-Winning Actress, Apr 30—May 6
    BAMcinématek presents Ellen Burstyn, a nine-film retrospective tribute to the Oscar-winning actress, Apr 30—May 6 Burstyn in person for a Q&A after Martin Scorsese’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Apr 4, 2014—From Wednesday, April 30 through Tuesday, May 6, BAMcinématek presents Ellen Burstyn, a retrospective of the legendary actress. In a remarkable six-decade (and counting) career, Burstyn has gone from leading light of New American Cinema to one of the grandes dames of Hollywood, scooping up every major award (Oscar, Tony, and Emmy) along the way. Her complex, fully lived-in characters are models of superbly judged, wholly committed screen acting. After appearing in Matthew Barney’s River of Fundament at BAM this spring, Burstyn returns to Brooklyn for this nine-film tribute. Opening the series on Wednesday, April 30 is William Friedkin’s groundbreaking horror classic The Exorcist (1973), which earned 10 Oscar nominations and became one of the highest- grossing films of all time. Burstyn beat out Jane Fonda, Audrey Hepburn, and Anne Bancroft for the role of Chris, a Hollywood actress who discovers her daughter is possessed by a demon. Burstyn got her breakout role just two years prior in Peter Bogdanovich’s New American Cinema masterwork The Last Picture Show (1971—May 2), and following the overwhelming success of The Exorcist, was given creative control of her next project. Impressed with his work on Mean Streets, Burstyn hired Martin Scorsese to helm Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974—May 3).
