The Manchurian Candidate (1962) Directed by John Frankenheimer
Why Don’t You Pass the Time by Playing a Little Solitaire? By Fearless Young Orphan The Manchurian Candidate (1962) Directed by John Frankenheimer I saw it: August 19, 2010 Why haven’t I seen it yet? For the longest time, I didn’t even know what it was supposed to be about, or that it was supposed to be any good. It seemed like one of those movies that is famous for its confusing title. I even saw the 2004 remake first, and then this little beauty turned up on my list of classics. Candidate A platoon of American soldiers stationed in Korea comes under attack. Most of the platoon is rescued by Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey), who displays such valiant behavior that he is awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor upon his return. This is good news for his mother, the Mrs. Iselin who is married to Senator Iselin (who, Raymond assures everyone adamantly, is only Raymond’s stepfather). Mrs. Iselin would like her husband to become the Vice President of the United States, and it certainly doesn’t hurt matters to have a hero in the family. Angela Lansbury, icy and quite beautiful, eats this role alive; she may be one of the most evil and frightening characters I’ve ever seen in a film. What is amusing about her is that we know from the moment we hear her speak that she is a villain, long before we know exactly what the hell she’s up to. Her son hates and fears her; he can’t get away from her fast enough. -

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. -

The Manchurian Candidate will be Puts’ and Campbell’s second operatic collaboration. Silent Night , also commissioned by Minnesota Opera, earned Puts the 2012 Pulitzer Prize in Music. “I have long wanted to commission an operatic thriller,” said Artistic Director Dale Johnson, “and after the incredible experience of Silent Night last season, I was eager to work with Kevin Puts and Mark Campbell again. The Manchurian Candidate is an all-around match made in heaven.” The Manchurian Candidate is a political thriller that will be based on the 1959 novel by Richard Condon about the son of a prominent U.S. political family who is brainwashed into becoming an unwitting sleeper assassin for a Communist conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government. Condon’s novel inspired two film adaptations. The first film, directed by John Frankenheimer in 1962 , starred Laurence Harvey, Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury, and is widely regarded to be a masterpiece of its genre. -
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. -
