MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES and CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994
The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1994 MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994 A retrospective celebrating the seventieth anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the legendary Hollywood studio that defined screen glamour and elegance for the world, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 24, 1994. MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS comprises 112 feature films produced by MGM from the 1920s to the present, including musicals, thrillers, comedies, and melodramas. On view through September 30, the exhibition highlights a number of classics, as well as lesser-known films by directors who deserve wider recognition. MGM's films are distinguished by a high artistic level, with a consistent polish and technical virtuosity unseen anywhere, and by a roster of the most famous stars in the world -- Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Greta Garbo, and Spencer Tracy. MGM also had under contract some of Hollywood's most talented directors, including Clarence Brown, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, and King Vidor, as well as outstanding cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, and editors. Exhibition highlights include Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), Victor Fleming's Gone Hith the Hind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939), Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise (1991). Less familiar titles are Monta Bell's Pretty Ladies and Lights of Old Broadway (both 1925), Rex Ingram's The Garden of Allah (1927) and The Prisoner - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 of Zenda (1929), Fred Zinnemann's Eyes in the Night (1942) and Act of Violence (1949), and Anthony Mann's Border Incident (1949) and The Naked Spur (1953). -
Hitchcock's the Paradine Case (1947)
1 The Paradine Case Reviewed by Garry Victor Hill Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Produced by David O. Selznick. Screenplay by David O. Selznick from adaptations by Alfred Hitchcock, Alma Reville and James Bridie. Based on the novel by Robert Hichens. Production design: J. MacMillan 2 Johnson. Cinematography by Lee Garmes. Original Music by Franz Waxman. Edited by Hal C. Kern. Key Costumer: Travis Banton. Cinematic length: 132 minutes. Distributed by Selznick Studio. Cinematic release December 29th 1947: DVD release 2007 edited down to 110 minutes. Television release 94 minutes Check for ratings. Rating 80%. All images are taken from the public domain and wiki derivatives with permission. Cast Gregory Peck as Anthony Keane Ann Todd as Gay Keane Alida Valli as Mrs. Maddalena Paradine Charles Laughton as the Judge, Lord Thomas Horfield Ethel Barrymore as Lady Sophie Horfield Charles Coburn as Sir Simon Flaquer, Joan Tetzel as Judy Flaquer, Louis Jourdan as André Latour, Leo G. Carroll as the counsel for the prosecution Isobel Elsom as the Innkeeper in Cumberland Review Despite having many qualities, this film did not do well on its release, either critically or commercially. The film was initially about the downfall of a great, good and happy man brought down by his figurative blindness when involved in a puzzling law case. However the film changes direction, putting the greater theme into second place. Instead the focus goes onto the murder trial and the legal 3 preparations. At its heart The Paradine Case has a mystery: Did Mrs Paradine poison her blind, aged husband? If she did not, then what happened? Her barrister, Anthony Keane (Gregory Peck) sums up the possibilities succinctly: either he committed suicide, she did it as charged or her husband’s sinister manservant André La Tour (Lois Jordan) murdered him for a bequest - or in an assisted suicide. -

French Film Series to Conclude with Works from Final Period of the Classic Tradition
The Museum of Modern Art Department of Film 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART ENTRANCE at 18 W. 54 #42 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FRENCH FILM SERIES TO CONCLUDE WITH WORKS FROM FINAL PERIOD OF THE CLASSIC TRADITION In its final months, REDISCOVERING FRENCH FILM PART II, The Museum of Modern Art's comprehensive survey of French film history, will screen classics from the 1940s and • 50s, then pause to look back at the very beginnings of the long tradition of French filmmaking. The schedule for August begins with a look at the French cinema at the time of the Occupation and features two rare films of the liberation: Le Six Juin a l'Aube, a documentary made by the great feature film director Jean Gremillon, and Rene Clement's La Bataille du Rail. Also scheduled in August are two of the most striking French films noirs of the postwar period, Clouzot's Quai des Qrfevres and Yves All^gret's De'dee d'An vers, Simone Signoret's star-making vehicle. In September, the schedule will focus on the films of the 1950s, during the last flowering of the classic tradition before the tumult of the New Wave. Among the highlights are two film adaptations of Emile Zola's scathing social fiction—Julien Duvivier's Pot-Bouille and Marcel Carne*' s updated Therese Raquin—plus La Marie du Port, a rarely seen Carrie vehicle for France's most durable male star, Jean Gabin. Many of the most prominent French films of the '50s retreated into an acid-tinged nostalgia for the past; such resplendent examples of this tendency as Max Ophuls's La Ronde and Le Plaisir, Rene Clair's Les Grandes Manoeuvres and Les Belles-de-Nuit, and Jean Renoir's French Can-can are scheduled. -
Bamcinématek Presents the Complete Vincente Minnelli, the First
BAMcinématek presents The Complete Vincente Minnelli, the first full New York retrospective of the Hollywood master in more than 20 years, Sep 23—Nov 2 (32 days, 35 films) 35mm prints. The Wall Street Journal is the BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas sponsor. Brooklyn, NY/Aug 30, 2011— Beginning September 23 and continuing through November 2, BAMcinématek presents The Complete Vincente Minnelli, the first full New York retrospective of the Hollywood master in more than two decades. This 35-film series pays homage to one of the all-time great Hollywood directors, with a career that included successful forays into the musical (which earned him his reputation at MGM), subversive and deeply personal melodramas and sensitive biopics, and airy comedies. The retrospective, presented in conjunction with the Locarno International Film Festival, offers a chance to reevaluate the Hollywood giant’s status as an auteur, truly one of cinema’s greatest artists. All films in The Complete Vincente Minnelli will be projected in 35mm, except for one which will be shown in 16mm. Popularly associated with meticulously decorated, nostalgic musicals like Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), An American in Paris (1951), The Band Wagon (1953), and the beloved Gigi (which swept the 1959 Oscars, winning in all nine categories that it was nominated including Best Picture and Best Director), Minnelli also proved to be a master of multiple genres over his 34-year directing career, including several darker dramas that were under- appreciated by his contemporaries. Minnelli was as poetically cynical as Billy Wilder in the Kirk Douglas and Lana Turner vehicle The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and its follow-up, Two Weeks in Another Town (1960). -

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. -
