  • Complete Film Noir
    COMPLETE FILM NOIR (1940 thru 1965) Page 1 of 18 CONSENSUS FILM NOIR (1940 thru 1959) (1960-1965) dThe idea for a COMPLETE FILM NOIR LIST came to me when I realized that I was “wearing out” a then recently purchased copy of the Film Noir Encyclopedia, 3rd edition. My initial plan was to make just a list of the titles listed in this reference so I could better plan my film noir viewing on AMC (American Movie Classics). Realizing that this plan was going to take some keyboard time, I thought of doing a search on the Internet Movie DataBase (here after referred to as the IMDB). By using the extended search with selected criteria, I could produce a list for importing to a text editor. Since that initial list was compiled almost twenty years ago, I have added additional reference sources, marked titles released on NTSC laserdisc and NTSC Region 1 DVD formats. When a close friend complained about the length of the list as it passed 600 titles, the idea of producing a subset list of CONSENSUS FILM NOIR was born. Several years ago, a DVD producer wrote me as follows: “I'd caution you not to put too much faith in the film noir guides, since it's not as if there's some Film Noir Licensing Board that reviews films and hands out Certificates of Authenticity. The authors of those books are just people, limited by their own knowledge of and access to films for review, so guidebooks on noir are naturally weighted towards the more readily available studio pictures, like Double Indemnity or Kiss Me Deadly or The Big Sleep, since the many low-budget B noirs from indie producers or overseas have mostly fallen into obscurity.” There is truth in what the producer says, but if writers of (film noir) guides haven’t seen the films, what chance does an ordinary enthusiast have.

  • Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release June 1990 Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965 July 1 - September 11, 1990 This summer, The Museum of Modern Art pays tribute to Twentieth Century Fox with a retrospective of over ninety films made between 1935 and 1965. Opening on July 1, 1990, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX: 1935-1965 traces three key decades in the history of the studio, celebrating the talents of the artists on both sides of the cameras who shaped this period. The exhibition continues through September 11. Formed in 1915, the Fox Film Corporation merged in 1935 with the much younger Twentieth Century to launch a major new studio. Under the supervision of Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century Fox developed a new house style, emphasizing epic biographies such as John Ford's The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936) and Allan Dwan's Suez (1938) and snappy urban pictures such as Sidney Lanfield's Hake Up and Live (1937) and Roy Del Ruth's Thanks a Million (1935). The studio also featured such fresh screen personalities as Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, and Shirley Temple. From this time on, the studio masterfully anticipated and shaped the tastes of the movie-going public. During World War II, Twentieth Century Fox made its mark with a series of exuberant Technicolor musicals featuring such actresses as Betty Grable and Carmen Miranda. After the war, the studio shifted focus and began to highlight other genres including films noirs such as Edmund Goulding's Nightmare Alley (1947) and Otto Preminger's Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950), wry satirical films such as Joseph L.

  • 20 Luc Moullet: 'Sam Fuller: in Marlowe's Footsteps'
    20 Luc Moullet: 'Sam Fuller: In Marlowe's Footsteps' (,Sam Fuller - sur les brisees de Marlowe', Cahiers du Cinema 93, March 1959) Young American film directors have nothing at all to say, and Sam Fuller even less than the others. There is something he wants to do, and he does it naturally and effortlessly. That is not a shallow compliment: we have a strong aversion to would-be philosophers who get into making films in spite of what film is, and who just repeat in cinema the discoveries of the other arts, people who want to express interesting subjects with a certain artistic style. If you have something to say, say it, write it, preach it if you like, but don't come bothering us with it. Such an a priori judgment may seem surprising in an article on a director who admits to having very high ambitions, and who is the complete auteur of almost all his films. But it is precisely those who classify him among the intelligent screenwriters who do not like The Steel Helmet or reject Run of the Arrow on his behalf or, just as possibly, defend it for quite gratuitous reasons. Machiavelli and the cuckoo-clock On coherence. Of fourteen films, Fuller, a former journalist, devotes one to journalism; a former crime reporter, he devotes four to melodramatic thrillers; a former soldier, five to war. His four Westerns are related to the war films, since the perpetual struggle against the elements in the course of which man recognizes his dignity, which is the definition of pioneer life in the last century I is extended into our time only in the life of the soldier: that is why 'civilian life doesn't interest me' (Fixed Bayonets).

  • The American Action Movie: New Film Series at Museum of Modern Art
    'fi No. 55 The Museum of Modern Art FOR RELEASE: 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart VJednesday, April 25, I969 THE AMERICAN ACTION MOVIE: NEW FILM SERIES AT MUSEUM OF MODERN ART The American Action Movie, a program of popular westerns, thrillers and war films made from 19^+6 to 196^4-, selected by art critic, Lawrence Alloway, will be shown from April 25 to June 6 at The Museum of Modern Art. The series begins with the 19^6 film version of Ernest Hemingway's "The Killers," directed by Robert Siodmak, with Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner; and ends with the 196^+ adaptation of the same story made by Don Siegel, starring John Cassavetes and Angie Dickinson. Other films in the program are "Kiss Me Deadly" (1955) from the novel by Mickey Spillane, with Ralph Meeker and Albert Dekker; "Pickup on South Street" (1953) with Richard Widmark; "The Big Heat" (1953) with Glenn Ford, Gloria Grahame, and Lee Marvin; and two Orson Welles thrillers, "Lady from Shanghai" (191+8), starring Rita Hayworth and Welles; and "Touch of Evil" (I958) in which Welles appears with Marlene Dietrich, Akim Tamiroff, Janet Leigh and Charlton Heston, This type of characteristic American movie, "at once over familiar and understudied," will be examined by Mr, Alloway in the program. It includes several Richard Widmark films to illustrate the importance of an actor's presence as distinct from his dramatic role, since Mr. Alloway recognizes the contribution of the actor's personality to the acceptance of popular films.
