From: Reviews and Criticism of Vietnam War Theatrical and Television Dramas ( Compiled by John K From: Reviews and Criticism of Vietnam War Theatrical and Television Dramas (http://www.lasalle.edu/library/vietnam/FilmIndex/home.htm) compiled by John K. McAskill, La Salle University ([email protected]) Z2200 ZABRISKIE POINT (USA, 1970) Credits: director, Michelangelo Antonioni ; writers, Michelangelo Antonioni, Fred Garner, Sam Shepard, Tonio Guerra, Clare Peploe. Cast: Mark Frechette, Rod Taylor, Daria Halprin, Paul Fix. Summary: Melodrama set in contemporary California and Arizona. Mark, a student at a Los Angeles university, attends a meeting of radicals but leaves due to their inaction. With a revolver, he goes to the campus where police try to oust students from a building. He misses a chance to shoot a police officer because the officer gets shot. Mark steals a plane and flies east. He spots a young woman, Daria, driving to the house of her boss, Lee Allen, in Arizona. She stops and they drive to Zabriskie Point in Death Valley, where they make love. Later, they are stopped by a police officer and he decides to return to Los Angeles. When he lands, the police kill him. Daria hears about Mark’s death on the radio. She reaches the plush residence of her boss, who is a land developer. Repulsed by the crass materialism, she fantasizes about the destruction of the house and all it represents. Adair, Gilbert. Hollywood’s Vietnam [GB] (p. 40-41, 222) ___________.

  • Honorable Members of the Visual Arts Committee From
    STAFF REPORT Date: February 13, 2012 To: Honorable Members of the Visual Arts Committee From: Mary Chou Re: Art on Market Street During the August 2011 Visual Arts Committee meeting, Commissioners approved Christina Empedocles’s proposal for an Art on Market Street poster series, but asked the artist to consider movies that spanned a variety of genres and to include more contemporary films. The original list consisted of the following: The Birds (1963), The Maltese Falcon (1941), Harold and Maude (1971), Vertigo (1958), Escape from Alcatraz (1979), Bullitt (1968), and Dirty Harry (1971). Below is a description of the artist’s explanation for her primary list of movies for her poster series, and her secondary list, if she is unable to secure permissions for movies in the primary list. Description of Poster Series With this primary list of films for the Art on Market Street poster series, the goal was to narrow down and select a list of movies from several different decades and a host of different genres, including major motion pictures as well as independent films, each with one thing in common: they'd be the best movies of their respective eras and genres to feature San Francisco itself as a prominent character. The images created from the following six classic motion pictures would include a poster from the film, as well as a collage of key visual elements associated with that film, and should be instantly recognizable to just about any longtime City resident, film buff, or keen-eyed observer. These visual elements would be extensions of the components of the posters, comprised of key props, characters (dependent on permission), and possibly quotes, bits of map, or small shots of various locations.

  • Michael Preece
    Deutscher FALCON CREST - Fanclub July 31, 2009 The First Director: MICHAEL PREECE Talks about the Falcon Crest Première and Other Memories Interview by THOMAS J. PUCHER (German FALCON CREST Fan Club) I sent Michael Preece, who directed ten episodes of Falcon Crest, particularly the series première, a request for an interview via e-mail, and he replied immediately so we scheduled a phone conversation for July 31, 2009. He has been one of the most successful directors of U.S. TV shows for more than 30 years. His directing credits include many hit series from the 1970’s, ’80’s and ’90’s, such as The Streets of San Francisco, Knots Landing, Fantasy Island, Flamingo Road, Trapper John, M.D., The Incredible Hulk, T.J. Hooker, Riptide, Stingray, Jake and the Fatman, MacGyver, Hunter, Renegade, Seventh Heaven and Walker, Texas Ranger as well as — last but not least — Dallas. Getting to Work on Falcon Crest Michael stepped right into the middle of how much he enjoyed working on Falcon Crest, particularly with Jane Wyman. He said she wanted him to direct more often, but he was extremely busy with Dallas: “I had to go to Jane Wyman and tell her that I couldn’t work on the show.” He left no doubt that directing Dallas did not leave much room for anything else because he directed approximately 70 episodes of the series. But he enjoyed doing an episode of Falcon Crest from time to time. “So how did you get your first assignment for Falcon Crest, the first episode, In His Father’s House?” I asked.

  • The Strange and Wondrous Tale of Bill Constable & the Cinemascope Pirates of Pagewood
    1 “AAARRRHH THERE MATEY!” - The Strange and Wondrous Tale of Bill Constable & the Cinemascope Pirates of Pagewood... by Bob Hill, Oct 2018 In early 1954... and a world away from the dense urban spread of today’s Sydney... the southern suburb of Pagewood was little more than wind blasted sand hills and scrub encroached upon by rows of hastily thrown up brick bungalows, a couple of isolated factories and a desolate bus depot. In the middle of this literal and figurative wasteland, a strange enterprise was taking place in Australia’s only purpose-built film studio complex - the making of “Long John Silver”, a Hollywood style blockbuster replete with imported stars, executives and key technicians in all the Heads of Department roles... that is, all except for their Production Designer, a middle aged Australian about to make his first foray into film! 2 1. Hollywood in the Sand Hills Pagewood studios, 1954 - then named “Television City”, 2 years before TV arrived in Australia! (NSW State Library) “Television City seems to have borrowed its architectural inspiration from Long Bay Gaol...” ‘Pagewood’ is the great lost studio of Australian film-making: As Wikipedia explains... The studio was built in 1935 for National Productions by National Studios Ltd, it was originally known as National Studios. It was constructed for the presumed increase in production that most observers thought would result in Australia following introduction of the NSW Film Quota Act... They were the first new film studios built in Australia since 1912. Gaumont British helped provide finance and personnel in its construction.1 The Quota Act was never enforced and instead of becoming the hub of film production in Sydney, makeshift facilities at Cinesound in Bondi Junction (an old roller skating rink) and Figtree Studios in Lane Cove (a converted picnic ground pavilion) soon eclipsed the better equipped Pagewood studios.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
