Date: 25 July 2013 Maserati Is the New Main Sponsor of the 70Th Date: 25 July 2013 Maserati is The New Main Sponsor of the 70th Venice Film Festival Maserati begins its relationship with the 70th Venice Film Festival as main sponsor of the event, cementing the relationship between the prestigious film festival and the Fiat Group. Maserati will hold the exclusive courtesy car service and ensure a constant presence of the Trident cars on the red carpet, which will have the various international celebrities attending the Venice Film Festival on board. The Maserati Terrace, in the pool area at the Hotel Excelsior, will also represent the central space and vital part of the Venice Film Festival – a space dedicated to interviews, meetings, cocktail parties and events. Maserati has an established relationship with the world of cinema and there are in fact many films which have seen Trident cars starring in them. The first, in order of time, is “Cronaca di un amore” (Story of a love affair) the 1950 film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni. Protagonists of the film were the wonderful Lucia Bosè and an equally elegant Maserati A6 1500, the first granturismo of the House of the Trident. Over the years on the big screen many actors have taken turns at the wheel of a Maserati including Ugo Tognazzi, Vittorio Gassman, Kirk Douglas, Glen Ford, Rock Hudson, David Niven, Peters Sellers and Alain Delon. Among the latest productions to have co-starred a Maserati is the American film “Ocean’s Thirteen” and the French “The Intouchables” – in both cases the protagonist a Maserati Quattroporte. The film “Limitless,” also starred Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper and a Maserati GranTurismo. Just a few months from the start of celebrations for its Centenary, Maserati is a company in rapid expansion. With presence in 65 markets worldwide, its role is clearly confirmed as an international ambassador of Italian excellence. This excellence is conveyed every day with passion through products of great charm and outstanding performance seen in the GranTurismo, GranCabrio and the new Quattroporte and Ghibli.

  • Hollywood Greats Flocked to Racquet Club West
    Hollywood Greats Flocked To Racquet Club West By Don Soja An “official” neighborhood since 2007, the famed Racquet Club West (RCW) was once in the thick of all things “Hollywood” in Palm Springs. Sitting behind the notorious Racquet Club founded by two tennis-addicted actors, Ralph Bellamy and Charles Farrell (who had been politely asked to vacate the courts at the El Mirador Hotel, or so it’s said) the location made adjacent homes attractive to the hottest celebrities of the period. Dinner and dancing, drinks at poolside or sets of tennis were but a short walk or bike ride to the club. (Aside: Bicycles hadn’t been “adult toys” since the 1890’s but were re-popularized in Palm Springs. True.) At any given time, if you could bypass vigilant guards, you’d see Clark Gable, heartthrob Tyrone Power, Doris Day, Kirk Douglas, dancer Ann Miller, honeymooners Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Spencer Tracy or Bob Hope. This neighborhood was also rife with major producers, directors and screenwriters. Tucked between the two major north/south corridors of the town (Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon drives), Racquet Club West is bordered by West San Rafael Road on the north and San Marco Way and Alvarado Road on the south. This mix of 175 one- or two-bedroom villas, unprepossessing weekend cottages, charming Spanish casas, and homes by famed architect Don Wexler and the Alexanders is said to have inspired Raymond Chandler’s book Poodle Springs. The number of Top 100 American Movies, created here poolside and “over a highball” is astonishing.

  • SHIRLEY MACLAINE to RECEIVE 40Th AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
    SHIRLEY MACLAINE TO RECEIVE 40th AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD America’s Highest Honor for a Career in Film to be Presented June 7, 2012 LOS ANGELES, CA, October 9, 2011 – Sir Howard Stringer, Chair of the American Film Institute’s Board of Trustees, announced today the Board’s decision to honor Shirley MacLaine with the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award, the highest honor for a career in film. The award will be presented to MacLaine at a gala tribute on Thursday, June 7, 2012 in Los Angeles, CA. TV Land will broadcast the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award tribute on TV Land later in June 2012. The event will celebrate MacLaine’s extraordinary life and all her endeavors – movies, television, Broadway, author and beyond. "Shirley MacLaine is a powerhouse of personality that has illuminated screens large and small across six decades," said Stringer. "From ingénue to screen legend, Shirley has entertained a global audience through song, dance, laughter and tears, and her career as writer, director and producer is even further evidence of her passion for the art form and her seemingly boundless talents. There is only one Shirley MacLaine, and it is AFI’s honor to present her with its 40th Life Achievement Award." Last year’s AFI Tribute brought together icons of the film community to honor Morgan Freeman. Sidney Poitier opened the tribute, and Clint Eastwood presented the award at evening’s end. Also participating were Casey Affleck, Dan Aykroyd, Matthew Broderick, Don Cheadle, Bill Cosby, David Fincher, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Ashley Judd, Matthew McConaughey, Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno, Tim Robbins, Chris Rock, Hilary Swank, Forest Whitaker, Betty White, Renée Zellweger and surprise musical guest Garth Brooks.

  • Monday 25 July 2016, London. Ahead of Kirk Douglas' 100Th Birthday This
    Monday 25 July 2016, London. Ahead of Kirk Douglas’ 100th birthday this December, BFI Southbank pay tribute to this major Hollywood star with a season of 20 of his greatest films, running from 1 September – 4 October 2016. Over the course of his sixty year career, Douglas became known for playing iconic action heroes, and worked with the some of the greatest Hollywood directors of the 1940s and 1950s including Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks, Vincente Minnelli and Stanley Kubrick. Films being screened during the season will include musical drama Young Man with a Horn (Michael Curtiz, 1949) alongside Lauren Bacall and Doris Day, Stanley Kubrick’s epic Spartacus (1960), Champion (Mark Robson, 1949) for which he received the first of three Oscar® nominations for Best Actor, and the sci- fi family favourite 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Richard Fleischer, 1954). The season will kick off with a special discussion event Kirk Douglas: The Movies, The Muscles, The Dimple; this event will see a panel of film scholars examine Douglas’ performances and star persona, and explore his particular brand of Hollywood masculinity. Also included in the season will be a screening of Seven Days in May (John Frankenheimer, 1964) which Douglas starred in opposite Ava Gardner; the screening will be introduced by English Heritage who will unveil a new blue plaque in honour of Ava Gardner at her former Knightsbridge home later this year. Born Issur Danielovich into a poor immigrant family in New York State, Kirk Douglas began his path to acting success on a special scholarship at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, where he met Betty Joan Perske (later to become better known as Lauren Bacall), who would play an important role in helping to launch his film career.

  • MICHAEL CURTIZ: from HUNGARY to HOLLYWOOD Release
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release November 1992 MICHAEL CURTIZ: FROM HUNGARY TO HOLLYWOOD November 27, 1992 - January 23, 1993 A survey of more than fifty films by Michael Curtiz (1888-1962), one of cinema's most prolific directors from the studio era, opens on November 27, 1992, at The Museum of Modern Art. As Warner Bros, house director in the 1930s and 1940s, Curtiz symbolizes the crispness and energy that distinguished the Warners' style. On view through January 23, 1993, MICHAEL CURTIZ: FROM HUNGARY TO HOLLYWOOD explores the consistent quality and versatility of the filmmaker's work. The Hungarian-born Curtiz mastered virtually all genres and, during his twenty-seven-year career at Warner Bros., made every type of film from westerns and musicals to social dramas and comedies. A strong director of actors, he made stars of such disparate types as Errol Flynn, John Garfield, and Doris Day, and earned an Academy Award and a renewed career for Joan Crawford in Mildred Pierce (1945). Many of his films were popular critical and financial successes. Curtiz possessed an acute narrative sense, displayed in such remarkable films included in the exhibition as The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), with Flynn and Olivia de Havilland; Casablanca (1942), for which Curtiz received an Academy Award for Best Director; Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), the musical which won James Cagney an Academy Award; Mildred Pierce, the film noir portrait of an imperfect American family; Young Man with a Horn (1950), starring Kirk - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 Douglas as an obsessed jazz trumpeter and inspired by Bix Beiderbecke's life; and The Breaking Point (1950), based on Ernest Hemingway's To Have and Have Not, His early successes -- Cabin in the Cotton (1932), a melodrama about sharecroppers, and The Mystery of the Max Museum (1933), an early all-color horror film -- are also included in the exhibition.
