  • Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair­ banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills.

In the opening shot of the Charles Bronson vehicle Telefon (Siegel, 1977), the camera pans down from a large, red-brick nineteenth-century Russian Orthodox church towards an empty street covered in snow. The morn- ing sky is sunless, grey and heavy. The cityscape is almost void of colour, painted in a palette of brown, beiges and greys. There is little traffic on the streets.

  • A Distant Trumpet
    A Distant Trumpet Music by Max Steiner (1964) [movie***] [music ****] https://www.wbshop.com/products/distant-trumpet-a-mod [NOTE: This manuscript was cut & pasted from my large DVD Collection analyses paper] This “picture” (as Max would normally call a “movie”) scored by Steiner is still available at Warner Archive (see the link immediately above). It is beautifully shot in terms of locales (New Mexico and Arizona), usually very bright and desert dry scenes (except for a rainy night sequence with the Suzanne Pleshette character (Kitty) holed up in a cave with the Troy Donahue character (Lt. Matt Hazard). This is located 19 minutes into the movie. It’s an enjoyable picture to watch now and then but it certainly is no classic western (despite being directed by Raoul Walsh)! The first half of the movie kept me interested but it got to be rather tiresome afterward, especially that long, drawn-out Indian battle about an half and a half into the movie! I primarily purchased the dvd because of the music score by Max Steiner, one of his very last assignments. I researched the written full score 1 at USC-Warner Brothers Archives in the Research Annex just off-campus at 3716 S. Hope on March 11, 2005. How time flies. That was nearly six years ago. I do not plan to do an official “rundown” on the music since I worked very little on the score (not enough time). I managed to touch upon (hand- copy) segments of the first two or three reels of cues. While not a top drawer Steiner score, it is nevertheless still characteristically vibrant and energetic.
