  • Snelling Wins Best of Staffing Client Award –
    Snelling Snelling Corporate Office https://www.snelling.com Snelling Wins Best of Staffing Client Award - 2017 ...but that is not all Categories : EMPLOYER HOT TOPICS Date : February 16, 2017 Do you know what Katherine Hepburn, Jack Nicholson, Ingrid Bergman, Daniel Day Lewis, Walter Brennan, Meryl Streep and Snelling all have in common? Well, obviously the first 6 people listed are movie actors. However, they are not just actors. They are part of an elite group of actors. These 6 people are – in fact – the greatest Academy Award winners of all time. Hepburn leads the pack with 4 Oscar wins; Nicholson, Bergman, Day Lewis, Brennan and Streep have all won 3 times. But no matter how you cut it, all 6 are in a class of their own. But even as we prepare to watch the Academy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 26, to see if Casey Affleck beats Andrew Garfield or if Meryl Streep beats Emma Stone (and joins Ms. Hepburn in the 4x winner club), be aware that none of these actors have achieved what Snelling has. You see, actors have the Oscars; musicians have the Grammy’s; writers have the Pulitzer. Staffing firms have the Best of Staffing award – handed out to those elite staffing firms who have received “remarkable” reviews from the clients they serve. Best of Staffing Here at Snelling, we are honored to announce that we are (again) the winner of Inavero’s Best of 1 / 2 Snelling Snelling Corporate Office https://www.snelling.com Staffing® Client Awards for 2017.

  • Casablanca by Jay Carr the a List: the National Society of Film Critics’ 100 Essential Films, 2002
    Casablanca By Jay Carr The A List: The National Society of Film Critics’ 100 Essential Films, 2002 It’s still the same old story. Maybe more so. “Casablanca” was never a great film, never a profound film. It’s merely the most beloved movie of all time. In its fifty-year history, it has resisted the transmogrifica- tion of its rich, reverberant icons into camp. It’s not about the demimondaines washing through Rick’s Café Americain – at the edge of the world, at the edge of hope – in 1941. Ultimately, it’s not even about Bogey and Ingrid Bergman sacrificing love for nobility. It’s about the hold movies have on us. That’s what makes it so powerful, so enduring. It is film’s analogue to Noel Coward’s famous line about the amazing potency of cheap music. Like few films before or since, it sums up Hollywood’s genius for recasting archetypes in big, bold, universally accessible strokes, for turning myth into pop culture. Courtesy Library of Congress Motion Picture, Broadcast and Recorded It’s not deep, but it sinks roots into America’s Sound Division collective consciousness. As a love story, it’s flawed.

Looking By Donald Dewey ER G This is where Humphrey Bogart delivers the classic line to Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca (1942). at You, Kid GRAN 30 SCANDINAVIAN REVIEW SCANDINAVIAN REVIEW 31 Ingrid Bergman at 26 HAT IS THERE LEFT TO SAY ABOUT INGRID BERGMAN? Journalists and biographers and film historians have been dipping W into Bergman’s life (1915–1982) so relentlessly for so long that it is easy to forget that it wasn’t always in the public domain. The woman’s career, off and on screen, started being dissected so minutely so many decades ago that just about the only survivors from all those labors are her children and a hand- ful of actors from the already-41-year-old Murder on the Orient Express. In short, and though many of us are loath to admit it, the world of Ingrid Bergman seems to have warp-sped away from us to distances we might not have thought possible. It may not be as remote as Planet Garbo, but it is still out there, back in that century they used to call the 20th with an air of self-satisfaction making it sound like the tiniest of steps before infinity. (“My God, man, it’s the 20th century!”) There is, of course, the record of her many performances—filmed, kinescoped, taped, digitized, hologrammed, whatever technical development preserves them next.

  • 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.

  • Anna Magnani
    The Museum of Modern Art ANNA MAGNANI Born on March 7, 1908, in Rome, Anna Magnani was raised by her maternal grandmother in modest circumstances in the city's ancient quarters. At a young age, Magnani studied voice and piano and, in her late teens, entered the Rome Academy of the Dramatic Arts, where she remained for less than two years. Magnani left the Academy to take a job in a touring theater company, playing ladies' maids and other bit parts. For her work she was paid twenty-five lire a day, the equivalent of less than one dollar. In 1929 the loss of one of the troupe's leading ladies gave the actress her first break: she played a dramatic, emotional scene for which she earned rousing applause from the audience. During the thirties, Magnani alternated dramatic roles with singing and clowning in comic revues. In 1935 she married director Goffredo Alessandrini, who had been attracted to one of her fiery stage performances. Magnani initially devoted herself to the marriage, but soon returned to the stage. Alessandrini discouraged her interest in film and advised her to continue to work on the stage where her natural talent was appreciated. Unlike the glamorous stars of the day who fit the public's standards of beauty, she was considered too earthy and, ironically, too provincial for the popular screen. Magnani felt acting should be "as natural as life," that movies should be about ordinary down-to-earth women like herself. She and her husband later separated. For several years Magnani played minor roles in films that received yery little critical notice.

  • Two Women Is a 1960 Italian Film Directed by Vittorio De Sica. It Tells the Story of a Woman Trying to Protect Her Young Daughter from the Horrors of War
    La Ciociara (1960) Two Women is a 1960 Italian film directed by Vittorio De Sica. It tells the story of a woman trying to protect her young daughter from the horrors of war. The film stars Sophia Loren, Jean- Paul Belmondo, Raf Vallone, Eleonora Brown, Carlo Ninchi, and Andrea Checchi. The film was adapted by De Sica and Cesare Zavattini from the novel of the same name written by Alberto Moravia. The story is fictional, but based on actual events of 1944 in Rome and rural Lazio, during what Italians call the Marocchinate. Loren’s performance received critical acclaim, winning her the Academy Award for Best Actress. Plot Cesira is a widowed shopkeeper, raising her devoutly religious twelve-year-old daughter, Rosetta, in Rome during World War II. In July 1943, following the Allied bombing of Rome, mother and daughter flee to Cesira’s native Ciociaria, a rural, mountainous province of central Italy. The night before they go, Cesira sleeps with Giovanni, a coal dealer in her neighbourhood, who agrees to look after her store in her absence. After they arrive at Ciociaria, Cesira attracts the attention of Michele, a young local intellectual with communist sympathies. Rosetta sees Michele as a father figure and develops a strong bond with him. Michele is later taken prisoner by German soldiers, who force him to act as a guide through the mountainous terrain. After the Allies capture Rome, in June 1944, Cesira and Rosetta decide to head back to that city. On the way, the two are gang-raped inside a church by a group of Moroccan Goumiers – soldiers attached to the invading Allied Armies in Italy.
