Robert Rossen – in Flight by Richard Combs
Robert Rossen – in flight by Richard Combs The purity of the meeting point of themes and forms excludes the possibility of a happy chance; everything leads one to believe that, after Lilith, Rossen, withdrawn from the world, waited for the same terrible gentleness that he had tamed to carry him off silently. He worked no longer, and practiced, he said, a tête‐à‐tête with the sun; this nonchalance finally won, after what detours, heightens the pathos of the last shot of Lilith, of the last shot of Rossen’s work. Vincent Bruce [Warren Beatty] advances toward the camera, ravaged, destroyed, broken, to murmur facing the audience the two syllables of despair: “Help me…”. This cry of distress definitively closes the work on the bankruptcy of illusion: the threshold is reached where the cinema confesses and goes beyond its original sin. Beyond this confession reigns silence. (Jean‐André Fieschi, Cahiers du cinéma, April 1966) In the credit sequence of Lilith (1964), a butterfly struggles to escape from a proliferating spider’s web of graphic lines and bars. To take this as an apt image for the career of Robert Rossen goes beyond the arguments of auteurism and lands in a dangerously precious realm of artistic transformations. Exactly what is called for here, however, is a theory of transformations, something that goes beyond the arguments of what is called the auteur theory. Lilith is a satisfying, not to say sublime, end to that career, one that develops so perfectly yet inexplicably from 1 what had gone before that it turns everything around – or leaves suspended in the air what the dramatist in an earlier Rossen would have embodied in clear‐cut terms. -

Gary Cooper ~ 51 Films
Gary Cooper ~ 51 Films Frank James (later Gary) Cooper was born on 7 May 1901 in Helena, Montana. From the silent era through to 1961, Cooper built a solid reputation by playing strong, manly, distinctly American roles in a natural, understated manner. The son of English parents who had settled in Montana, in the years 1909-12 he lived and was educated in Dunstable, England. Otherwise, from the age of five, he spent his summers on his father's ranch in northern Montana and his winters in Helena, where for some time he was a near neighbour of Myrna Williams (later Loy). After finishing school he worked on the family ranch until 1922, when he enrolled at Grinnell College, Iowa to study art. After eighteen months of that, and some time in Chicago and Helena, fortune took his parents (and so him) to Los Angeles. After weeks of struggling to find gainful employment, he met two Montana friends, Jim Galeen and Jim Calloway, who were working as film extras and stunt riders in low-budget Westerns. They introduced him to another Montana cowboy, rodeo champion Jay "Slim" Talbot, who hooked Cooper up with a casting director. (Talbot later worked as Cooper's stuntman and stand-in for over thirty years, becoming a close friend and hunting companion in the process.) Cooper accepted work as a film extra for five dollars a day and a stunt rider for twice that amount with the intention of saving enough money to pay for a professional art course. But his appearance in 1926 Western The Winning Of Barbara Worth attracted sufficient notice that his acting career began to take off. -
