Katharine Hepburn: Icon, Iconoclast Presented with February 14 – March 30 Celebrating Katharine Hepburn, an icon and mold-breaker in the world of film and style, we present eleven of the legend’s most beloved titles with the Durham Museum. In a career that contained many chapters, Hepburn was known for playing women who spoke up, didn’t follow orders, and – shock- ingly – wore pants! One of her first roles was as willful Jo in LITTLE WOMEN. Hepburn later evolved into one of the biggest stars of the screwball comedy era. Her turn as a bold, take-charge heiress in THE PHILADELPHIA STORY exem- plified these roles, and a free Valentine’s Day screening of the film, sponsored by Borsheims, kicks off the series. Little Women 1933 After meeting the love of her life, Spencer Tracy, on the set of WOMAN OF The Philadelphia Story 1940 THE YEAR, the two co-starred in nine films – one of cinema’s most endear- Stage Door 1937 ing collaborations. Starting around the time of John Huston’s 1951 classic Bringing Up Baby 1938 THE AFRICAN QUEEN – cited by lauded director and recent guest of Films Streams David O. Russell as one of his favorite movies of all time – Hepburn Holiday 1938 increasingly took on more challenging dramatic roles. A tremendous presence Woman of the Year 1942 onscreen and off, Hepburn’s career spanned six decades and garnered four Adam’s Rib 1949 Best Actress Academy Awards. The African Queen 1951 The series coincides with the costume exhibit “Katharine Hepburn: Suddenly, Last Summer 1959 Dressed for Stage and Screen” on display at the Durham Museum from Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner 1967 February 7 through April 26.

  • Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess
    PRESS RELEASE: June 2011 11/5 Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess BFI Southbank Salutes the Hollywood Legend On 23 March 2011 Hollywood – and the world – lost a living legend when Dame Elizabeth Taylor died. As a tribute to her BFI Southbank presents a season of some of her finest films, this August, including Giant (1956), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966). Throughout her career she won two Academy Awards and was nominated for a further three, and, beauty aside, was known for her humanitarian work and fearless social activism. Elizabeth Taylor was born in Hampstead, London, on 27 February 1932 to affluent American parents, and moved to the US just months before the outbreak of WWII. Retired stage actress Sara Southern doggedly promoted her daughter’s career as a child star, culminating in the hit National Velvet (1944), when she was just 12, and was instrumental in the reluctant teenager’s successful transition to adult roles. Her first big success in an adult role came with Vincente Minnelli’s Father of the Bride (1950), before her burgeoning sexuality was recognised and she was cast as a wealthy young seductress in A Place in the Sun (1951) – her first on-screen partnership with Montgomery Clift (a friend to whom Taylor remained fiercely loyal until Clift’s death in 1966). Together they were hailed as the most beautiful movie couple in Hollywood history. The oil-epic Giant (1956) came next, followed by Raintree County (1958), which earned the actress her first Oscar nomination and saw Taylor reunited with Clift, though it was during the filming that he was in the infamous car crash that would leave him physically and mentally scarred.

  • A Propósito De La Filosofía Del Cine Como Educación De Adultos: La Lógica Del Matrimonio Frente Al Absurdo En La Filmografía De Gregory La Cava Hasta 1933
    A PROPÓSITO DE LA FILOSOFÍA DEL CINE COMO EDUCACIÓN DE ADULTOS: LA LÓGICA DEL MATRIMONIO FRENTE AL ABSURDO EN LA FILMOGRAFÍA DE GREGORY LA CAVA HASTA 1933 José Alfredo Peris Cancioa Fechas de recepción y aceptación: 2 de junio de 2015, 8 de julio de 2015 Resumen: Desde una concepción de la filosofía del cine como educación de adultos, se puede proponer que la aportación más genuina de la filmografía de La Cava a la expresión de la interrelación entre matrimonio y crisis económica se encuentra en la figura de los antihéroes. Con estos personajes, La Cava plantea tanto la necesidad que experimenta el ser humano de las sociedades industriales de remediar la angustia que le produce su propia debilidad y vulnerabilidad, como la necesidad de entablar relaciones de ayuda. Desde su participación en el cine de animación, así como en sus películas de cine mudo y en sus películas habladas, los protagonistas superan sus propias limitaciones gracias a relaciones de confianza con los demás, de las que el matrimonio igualitario y de mutua ayuda entre el varón y la mujer es el modelo más pleno. Palabras clave: matrimonio, confianza, antihéroes, vulnerabilidad, igualdad y com- plementariedad entre varón y mujer, ayuda, filosofía del cine, educación de adultos. Abstract: From a conception of philosophy of films education of grownups, it can be proposed that the most genuine contribution of the films of La Cava to the expression of the interrelation between marriage and economic crisis is found in the figure of the anti-heroes. With these characters La Cava presents both the need experienced by peo- ple in industrial societies to remedy the distress caused by his own weakness and vulner- a Facultad de Filosofía, Antropología y Trabajo Social, Universidad Católica de Valencia San Vicente Mártir.

Segundo reza a história, foi a mulher de Lewis Milestone, grande amiga de Olivia de Havilland, quem sugeriu à estrela que fosse a correr ver a peça, dizendo que seria um veículo ideal para ela. De Havilland concordou e convenceu William Wyler a fazer o mesmo. A Paramount comprou os direitos e pediu aos autores para escreverem a versão cinematográfica. Hiller e Cookson foram despachados, mas Richardson foi escolhido para repetir o seu devastador desempenho na tela, na companhia de de Havilland e de um jovem actor que, até à data, tinha feito dois filmes: o mítico Red River de Howard Hawks e The Search de Fred Zinnemann.

  • Montgomery Clift's
    Montgomery Clift’s ‘Longest Suicide in Hollywood’ Detailed in New Book “The Longest Suicide in Hollywood Explores the Last Years and Death of the 1950s Star SAN FRANCISCO, May 29, 2021: On May 12, 1956, Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor were in the midst of filming the MGM epic Raintree County. They were due to head off for location shooting when Taylor decided to throw a small dinner party at her home in Beverly Hills before the trip. In addition to Taylor and then-husband Michael Wilding, Rock Hudson, Phyllis Gates and Kevin McCarthy were joined by Montgomery Clift for a quiet evening at the secluded home. At about 12:30 am the party began to break up and Montgomery Clift headed home, following actor Kevin McCarthy down the winding roads in the hills above Hollywood. The night would forever alter the life of Montgomery Clift when he blacked out behind the wheel and drove off the road. Clift’s car cascaded off the side of the road, over an embankment and became wrapped around a telephone pole. He was found crumpled up under the dashboard, bloody and nearly dead. Now, 65 years later, a new book from Aplomb Publishing and author John William Law details the fateful night and the impact it had on Clift’s life as well as the filming of Raintree County. The Longest Suicide in Hollywood – The Death of Montgomery Clift will be published in print and ebook on July 23, 2021, on the 55th anniversary of Montgomery Clift’s death in 1966. With details from those who were there that night and the months it took for the actor to recover, The Longest Suicide in Hollywood chronicles the years of drug and alcohol abuse and the toll it took on Clift’s mind and body.

    the director’s cut THE DIRECTOR’S CUT Freud’s Doppelgaenger, The Cut, and Deleted Scenes Geoffrey Garrison Contents Introduction 9 Freud’s Doppelgaenger 13 The Cut 157 Deleted Scenes 189 Bibliographical Essay 239 Introduction When the John Huston fi lm Freud the Secret Passion was dubbed into German, nineteen minutes of the English version were left out of the fi lm. This omission occupied the place of desire that led the short video The Cut, realized in 2005 with the support of the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, the Netherlands. I had originally proposed to fi nd the material left out of the German version of the fi lm as the basis for a piece—what exactly that art work would be, I did not know at the time. Three years later, I am putting the fi nishing touches on this book as a way of driving the last nail into the coffi n of what has been a long and obsessive production, with many detours. Taking its title from the practice of releasing expanded versions of fi lms on DVD, The Director’s Cut supplements the nineteen minute fi lm The Cut—nineteen minutes to fi ll, in a roundabout way, the space left by the deleted footage—by supplying some needed background and following some abandoned routes. The fi rst and longest screenplay, Freud’s Doppelgaenger, tells of the fi lming of Freud the Secret Passion through the life of Montgomery Clift, 10 i n t r o d u c t i o n Introduction 11 the actor who portrayed Freud in Huston’s fi lm.

  • Films from the THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39
    t% The Museum of Modern Art 1] West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart No. 83 FOR RELEASE: Friday, August 25, I968 Films from THE THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39 The Museum of Modern Art, will present a retrospective of films from the thirties beginning August 23, and running through October 6. The Thirties, according to Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Department of Film, will consist of 39 pictures, representing some of the richest creative talent in American cinema at a time that has been called "the dear, dead days not beyond recall." Two years ago the Museum presented The Thirties, U.S.A., Part I, covering the first half of the decade. The films being shown now as Part II were made from 1935 ^^ 193 '• Among the pictures to be shown are: Frank Capra's "Lost Horizon"; Paul Muni in "The Life of Emile Zola," the Story of a Northern Jew's lynching in the South; the great thriller "Night Must Fall," an adaptation of the Emlyn Williams play starring Robert Montgomery; and "The Good Earth," a spectacle film in black and white, from Pearl Buck's popular novel, for which Luise Rainer won her second Academy Award, with Paul Muni in the starring role. The latter part of the thirties was characterized by further achievements in the musical film, largely due to the talents of Fred Astaire, who with Ginger Rogers starred in "Top Hat," and "Shall We Dance," both of which are in the retrospective. The most important contributions to the annals of films made in the thirties was the series of "snowball" comedies Hollywood turned out at a time of grim, economic hardships.
