  • The Top Five Films You Did Not Know Were Based on Roald Dahl Stories
    The top five films you didn’t know were based on Roald Dahl stories Many Roald Dahl stories have been turned into family film favourites that we know and love, but did you know there’s more than just the books? Roald Dahl is responsible for a number of classic screenplays and storylines that we wouldn’t normally associate him with. Here’s five of our favourites, which you can enjoy once again on the big screen as part of Roald Dahl on Film: 1. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Roald Dahl was responsible for the screenplay of this truly magical, musical film. In fact, it was Roald Dahl that added in the Child Catcher as an extra character – so he’s responsible for giving us all those nightmares when we were small! 2. 36 hours This war movie released in 1965 was based on the short story ‘Beware of the Dog’ by Roald Dahl, which was first published in Harper’s Magazine in 1946. The story was also said to have influenced television series, The Prisoner. 3. You Only Live Twice The screenplay of this James Bond classic was another of Roald Dahl’s after he was approached by James Bond producers, Harry Saltzman and Albert Broccoli. The screenplay was the first to stray from Ian Fleming’s original story, as Roald Dahl famously said that the original wasn’t Fleming’s best work. 4. Gremlins The 1984 Steven Spielberg film Gremlins features characters developed from one of Roald Dahl’s earliest books, The Gremlins. In fact, there’s every chance that it was Roald Dahl’s first ever book for children! It impressed his bosses at the British Embassy so much that they sent it to Walt Disney to make into a feature film.

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

  • Aileen Riggin Soule: a Wonderful Life in Her Own Words
    Aileen Riggin Soule: A Wonderful Life In her own words The youngest U.S. Olympic champion, the tiniest anywhere Olympic champion and the first women's Olympic springboard diving champion was Aileen Riggin. All these honors were won in the 1920 Olympics by Miss Riggin when she had just passed her 14th birthday. If no woman started earlier as an amateur champion, certainly no woman pro stayed on the top longer. Aileen Riggin never waited for opportunities to come her way. In 1924 at Paris, she became the only girl in Olympic history to win medals in both diving and swimming in the same Olympic Games (silver in 3 meter springboard and bronze in 100 meter backstroke). She turned pro in 1926, played the Hippodrome and toured with Gertrude Ederle’s Act for 6 months after her famous Channel swim. She made appearances at new pool openings and helped launch “learn to swim programs” around the world. She gave diving exhibitions, taught swimming, ledtured and wrote articles on fashion, sports, fitness and health for the New York Post and many of the leading magazines of her day. She also danced in the movie "Roman Scandals" starring Eddie Cantor and skated in Sonja Henie's film "One in a Million." She helped organize and coach Billy Rose's first Aquacade in which she also starred, at the 1937 Cleveland Exposition. She was truly a girl who did it all. When in 1996, while attending the Olympic Games in Atlanta as America’s oldest Olympic Gold medalist, she was asked if she still had any goals left in life, she said: "Yes.

  • The Ten Scariest Roald Dahl Characters on Film
    The ten scariest Roald Dahl characters on film Roald Dahl’s stories have delighted generations with their imagination and adventure. But every good story needs a baddie – and Roald Dahl’s were some of the scariest! Now fans of all ages can relive their fears as Roald Dahl’s films return, with 165 confirmed screenings and special events as part of the Roald Dahl on Film season. Here are ten characters that kept us up at night: 1. The Grand High Witch If the description in The Witches book wasn’t enough to give you nightmares, the image of Anjelica Huston as the Grand High Witch peeling off her mask to reveal her true face in the 1990 film adaptation was sure to do the trick. Huston spent eight hours in make-up before filming to transform into her character! 2. The Child Catcher Many aren’t aware, but the character of the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was added into Ian Fleming’s original story by Roald Dahl; a truly terrifying addition that still has us freaked out to this day. The role was played by Robert Helpmann, who used to take out his top set of false teeth during filming to make himself look more gaunt; this also created the hissed tones in his voice that used to fill our nightmares. 3. Miss Trunchbull We’re not sure what scares us more, being swung around the playground by our pigtails or enduring a spell in the ‘chokey’ for doing absolutely nothing wrong. Either way, we wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of Matilda’s Miss Trunchbull! Watching Pam Ferris snort and charge like a bull in the 1996 film is enough to put any child off misbehaving; apparently she used to stay in character on set to scare all the children and make sure their fear was genuine when the camera was rolling! 4.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Q: Tell me about your childhood. A: It’s diffi cult to pinpoint my childhood. Perhaps I should start when I was 11 because that’s when I started swimming competition and we were living in New York City. I was of very delicate health. I went through the Spanish infl uenza epidemic that occurred during 1917 and ‘18. This was the greatest scourge that ever hit the world, but very few people know about it now. It killed more people than died in World War II, World War I and II, I think. My doctor suggested swimming, but this wasn’t easy living in New York, except in the summer time. So we found a small pool in a little hotel, it was in the Brooklyn Heights, where we were living at that time. It was just by chance that a club was forming. It was really a club of businesswomen who wanted a place to exercise and swim after they were fi nished with their work in the daytime.
