  • The Face of a Saint
    one The Face of a Saint From the beginning, Montgomery Clift was hailed as exceptional. In December 1948, Life magazine featured an earnest Clift on its cover over the title “New Male Movie Stars.” While the other candidates for stardom (including Richard Widmark, Ricardo Montalban, Louis Jourdan, Peter Lawford, and Farley Granger) were presented as a group, Clift had already been singled out. 1 “Clift, 28, heads the list of new male movie discoveries,” Life proclaimed. 2 This pronouncement was widely seconded at the time and would be reiterated for decades. One critic, comparing him with con - temporaries Marlon Brando and James Dean fifty years later, asserted that Clift was “the purest, and least mannered of these actors, perhaps the most sensitive, certainly the most poetic. He was also remarkably beautiful.” 3 Spencer Tracy put it more bluntly: “He makes most of today’s young play - ers look like bums.” 4 One distinct advantage Clift had over the other newcomers in Decem - ber 1948 was the recent release of his first two films, The Search and Red River. The first appeared in March, the second in September. As with much of Clift’s legend, the question of which film should be considered his first is subject to debate. Although The Search was the first to appear in theaters, Red River was the first film Clift made, having been produced two years earlier and its release delayed. Choosing to begin with one film over the other has important conse - quences, not least raising the question of whether we give precedence to the actor’s experience or to that of the viewer.

    Name: ________________________ Period: ______ Date: _____________ Due: _____________ Rear Window (1954) directed by Alfred Hitchcock Cast James “Jimmy” Stewart as L.B. Jefferies Grace Kelly as Lisa Carol Fremont Wendell Corey as Det. Lt. Thomas J. Doyle Thelma Ritter as Stella Raymond Burr as Lars Thorwald Crew Director: Alfred Hitchcock Producer: Alfred Hitchcock Writer: John Michael Hayes (screenplay) and Cornell Woolrich (short story) Editor: George Tomasini Director of Photography: Robert Burks Music: Franz Waxman Distribution/Studio Company: Paramount Pictures (Universal Studios today) MPAA Rating: PG (Based on 1983 Re-Release) Running Time: 112 minutes Background and Introduction to Rear Window Alfred Hitchcock is one of the best directors ever, and his three American masterpieces are North by Northwest, Rear Window, and Vertigo. Rear Window is a story about a man who becomes more fascinated with the lives around him than living his own life. He uses his camera and window to peer into the lives of others. Instead of solving his own problem, he becomes involved in his neighbors’ problems, especially when he thinks his neighbor has committed murder. Jeffries is chastised for his “window shopping,” and we’re along for the ride as viewers who are guilty of voyeurism, too. Rear Window offers viewers critical questions to consider regarding their relationship with films. For example, why do we enjoy watching others? When is it appropriate and immoral to do so? How do we use the stories of others to escape or run away from our own problems? The film is based on a Cornell Woolrich (also called William Irish) short story on which this film is based, and it was first published in 1942 under the title "It Had to Be Murder," which prior to the film's production, was republished twice under the title "Rear Window." According to studio production notes, the entire picture was shot on one set, which required months of planning and construction, which was a difficult feat to do in the 1950s.

  • IDA LUPINO, FILMMAKER and ACTRESS February 1 - March 9, 1991
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release January 1991 HARD, FAST, AND BEAUTIFUL--IDA LUPINO, FILMMAKER AND ACTRESS February 1 - March 9, 1991 A retrospective of films tracing the achievements of Ida Lupino, one of the more distinctive actresses of the American screen during the 1940s and 1950s, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on February 1, 1991. Although primarily known as an actress, Ida Lupino has also had a singular career behind the cameras. At a time when filmmaking in Hollywood was not open to women, Lupino wrote, directed, and produced a series of low-budget films and later became a prolific television director. HARD, FAST, AND BEAUTIFUL — IDA LUPINO, FILMMAKER AND ACTRESS, continuing through March 9, presents twelve features in which Lupino starred, six films she directed, and a selection of her television work. This exhibition highlights some of Lupino's finest performances, with such memorable films as Raoul Walsh's psychological portrait of a gangster High Sierra (1941), and Jean Negulesco's melodrama Road House (1948). Also included are Vincent Sherman's The Hard Hay (1942), about a bitterly ambitious woman who pushes her sister to stardom, and Walsh's The Man I Love (1946), the story of a nightclub singer who is pursued by a mobster. Born in London in 1918 to a British theatrical family, Lupino began to play young sophisticates at age fourteen. After moving to Hollywood in the early 1930s, she matured into an actress of rare feeling and intensity during the 1940s. In 1948 Lupino and her then husband, Collier Young, founded Emerald Films, which was later known as The Filmakers.
