The bill is named after Peter Falk, the actor who played Columbo on TV. What it does seems basic — it simply allows families to see their loved ones when they become incapacitated. It’s about the power of guardians and the rights of some of the most vulnerable Coloradans. Peter Falk was known to TV viewers as the disheveled, endearing detective Columbo. Catherine Falk knew him as “Dad. “He was exactly the same on screen as off screen,” Catherine Falk said. “He was just this tender, really funny, goofy person.” But Peter Falk’s life would take a tragic turn when he developed Alzheimer’s disease. His second wife isolated him, forcing his daughter to go to probate court just to see her father before he died.

  • Adventure Playground: Essentially, to a Place of Pleasure—That Today It Surrounds Us, Everywhere, Having Quietly John V
    The city’s onscreen prominence is so taken for granted today that it is hard to imagine that as late as 1965, the last year of Robert F. Wagner’s mayoralty, New York hardly appeared in films at all. That year, only two features were shot substantially in the city: The Pawnbroker, an early landmark in the career of veteran New York director Sidney Lumet, and A Thousand Clowns, directed by Fred Coe, which used extensive location work to “open up” a Broadway stage hit of a few years earlier by the playwright Herb Gardner. The big change came with Wagner’s successor, John V. Lindsay—who, soon after taking office in 1966, made New York the first city in history to encourage location filmmaking: establishing a simple, one-stop permit process through a newly created agency (now called the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting), creating a special unit of the Police Department to assist filmmakers, and ordering all city agencies and departments to cooperate with producers and directors (1). The founding of the Mayor’s Film Office—the first agency of its kind in the world—remains to this day one of the Lindsay administration’s signal achievements, an innovation in governance which has been replicated by agencies or commissions in almost every city and state in the Union, and scores of countries and provinces around the world. In New York, it helped to usher in a new industry, now generating over five billion dollars a year in economic activity and bringing work to more than 100,000 New Yorkers: renowned directors and stars, working actors and technicians, and tens of thousands of men and women employed by supporting businesses—from equipment rental houses, to scenery shops, to major studio complexes that now rival those of Southern California.

An era of jazz Jalopies Prohibition And Trigger-Happy Punks.” — Baby Face Nelson this essay examines a distinctive and coherent cycle of films, pro- duced in the late 1950s and early 1960s, which exploited the notoriety of Prohibition-era gangsters such as Baby Face Nelson, Al Capone, Bonnie Parker, Ma Barker, Mad Dog Coll, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, John Dillinger, and Legs Diamond. Despite the historical specificity of the gangsters portrayed in these “bio-pics,” the films each display a marked interest in relating their exploits to contemporary topical con- cerns. Not the least of these was a desire to exploit headline-grabbing, sensational stories of delinquent youth in the 1950s and to link these to equally sensational stories of punk hoodlums from 1920s and 1930s. In the following pages, some of the crossovers and overlaps between cycles of juvenile delinquency films and gangster bio-pics will be critically eval- uated. At the centre of analysis is the manner in which many of the films in the 1950s bio-pic gangster cycle present only a passing interest in pe- riod verisimilitude; producing a display of complex alignments between the historical and the contemporary. 185 peter stanfield DeLInQUENTS, gANGSTERs, AnD PUnKs In the 1950s, the representation of gangsters and of juvenile delinquents shared a common concern with explaining deviancy in terms of a rudi- mentary psychology,

  • Painfully Funny the Complete Directorial Works of Elaine May
    THE BADLANDS COLLECTIVE presents PAINFULLY FUNNY THE COMPLETE DIRECTORIAL WORKS OF ELAINE MAY INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS, LONDON SEPTEMBER 21-23, 2018 PAINFULLY FUNNY THE COMPLETE DIRECTORIAL WORKS OF ELAINE MAY Elaine May is a legend in the world of comedy – acknowledged as an influence by comics such as Steve Martin, Lily Tomlin, Woody Allen and countless others – but her work as a movie director has become curiously and unjustly obscure. While other filmmakers who emerged in the New Hollywood of the 1970s have become venerated icons, Elaine May’s films have fallen out of the conversation, and in some cases have fallen out of circulation entirely. With this retrospective, we’re pleased to bring her back into the limelight and hail her as one of the most brilliant artists from that exalted generation of American directors. May directed four theatrical feature films, three of which resulted in fierce behind-the- scenes battles before they finally reached cinemas, with May fighting to protect the integrity of her vision. Her background in improvisation – developed with the Compass Players, before she and Mike Nichols revolutionised American comedy in the late 1950s – led to her taking an exacting, exploratory approach to filmmaking. She would shoot dozens of takes for a single scene, exhausting every possible variation and often filming with multiple cameras in a constant attempt to capture spontaneous moments of inspiration, humour and truth. When editing she relished pauses, dead spots and extended moments of awkwardness, adding a tension underneath the films’ comic surface. May’s filmmaking style inevitably led to her amassing mountains of footage, missing deadlines, going over budget and falling out of favour with the studios, but it also produced films with an energy, rhythm and edge that distinguishes them from their contemporaries and elevates them beyond genre conventions.

  • The Great Race - Riverside
    Issue #154 Editor: Lynette Loveland Research by History Research Committee April - June 2019 The Great Race - Riverside Saturday June 22nd was a beautiful day in downtown Riverside for the start of the Hemmings Motor News Great Race. The race is a time speed endurance rally for vintage cars (before 1974 model year). The course started at the Mission Inn Hotel and Spa with much fanfare from the City of Riverside Chamber of Commerce. Ford Model A’s lined the parking lot across from the Municipal Auditorium. The Model A’s were provided by the local chapter of MAFCA. Contestants came from as far away as New York. Racers proceeded to the Route 66 Museum in Victorville, California where a luncheon was served, before finishing the day in Lancaster, California. The first leg was won by 2-time Grand Champion team of Howard (father, driver) and Doug (son, navigator) Sharp. This team eventually won the overall event. The Race concluded on Sunday June 30th in Tacoma, Washington after passing through 4 states (California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington) and traveling over 2,300 miles. This is the first time the rally has started in Riverside but not the first time through Riverside. In 1983 the race started at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California on its way to Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana. This year was another first for the rally – the first time the race was entirely on the West Coast. The Hemmings Motor News Great Race was inspired from the 1965 movie “The Great Race” starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood and Peter Falk.
