  • In 1925, Eight Actors Were Dedicated to a Dream. Expatriated from Their Broadway Haunts by Constant Film Commitments, They Wante
    In 1925, eight actors were dedicated to a dream. Expatriated from their Broadway haunts by constant film commitments, they wanted to form a club here in Hollywood; a private place of rendezvous, where they could fraternize at any time. Their first organizational powwow was held at the home of Robert Edeson on April 19th. ”This shall be a theatrical club of love, loy- alty, and laughter!” finalized Edeson.

  • The Swedish Film and Post-War American Films 1938
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 14 WEST 49TH STREET, NEW YORK TEUEPHONE: CIRCLE 7-7470 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Legends to the contrary notwithstanding, the negative of Erich von Stroheim's much-discussed film, Greed, has been preserved in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's vaults and it has therefore been possible to include this celebrated "masterpiece of realism" in the Museum of Modern Art Film Libraryfs current Series IV, The Swedish Film and Post-War American Films, Greed will be shown to Museum members on Wednesday, February 23rd, at 8:45 P.M. in the auditorium of the American Museum of Natural History, 77th Street and Central Park West. Thereafter it will be available to students of the film in i colleges and museums throughout the country. Greed, a faithful transcription into pictorial terms of Frank Norris1 novel, "McTeague," was created under unusual circumstances and met with a curious fate. It was not made in a studio, but on location in San Francisco. Whole blocks and houses were purchased as settings , walls knocked out to make the photography of real in­ teriors practicable. Every detail of the novel was reproduced at considerable expense of time and money, with a passionate and un­ compromising care for veracity. Eventually von Stroheim offered his producers his finished work, a final cut print twenty reels long which he proposed they should issue in two parts, and which bore no perceptible trace of those elements usually reckoned as "box office. The film was taken from him, cut down to the present ten reel ver­ sion and so released.

  • 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.

The Jean Hersholt Collection of Anderseniana at the Library of Congress by Kristi Johnson and Taru Spiegel Introduction Hans Christian Andersen was already well known in the United States during his lifetime. Though he wanted to meet his American admirers, fear of accidents at sea kept Andersen from crossing the Atlantic. Three quarters of a century after the author's death, another Dane ensured that a part of Andersen's legacy would remain permanently in America. The Danish American actor, author, and humanitarian, Jean Hersholt, together with his Danish­ born wife, Via, donated a treasure trove of Anderseniana to the Library of Congress in 1951. The Library's preeminent collection of Scandinavian materials is often overlooked amidst the institution's 130 million items in more than 400 languages. Andersen scholars in the United States, however, may want to explore the American Hersholt riches before venturing overseas for their research.

  • Hollywood: Her Story July 2021 Enewsletter Patriotic Movies
    Hollywood: Her Story July 2021 ENewsletter Patriotic Movies On July 4th, we celebrated Independence Day and the ideals of the founders of the United States of America. For our newsletter this month, we decided to focus on the female filmmakers and stars of the movies that told us patriotic stories about events and people that strove to achieve those ideals – that all men and women are created equal and that they are endowed with the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In the 1939 movie Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Jimmy Stewart played a newly- appointed U.S. Senator who fought corruption, aided by his seasoned and capable secretary, played by Jean Arthur. The movie was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, winning the Best Original Story Oscar, and was selected in 1989 for the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress. Arthur began her movie career in the silent film era and was named a WAMPAS Baby Star in 1929. She was a major film star during the 1930s and 1940s and her career continued into the decade of the 1950s. Her standard character was a tough working woman who had a heart of gold. Arthur was nominated for a 1944 Best Actress Oscar for her work in The More the Merrier. Her final movie role was as the homesteader’s wife inS hane, the only color film in which she appeared and the biggest box office movie of her career. The 1992 movie A League of Their Own, directed by Penny Marshall, has a story told by flashback to 1943.
