  • MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES and CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1994 MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994 A retrospective celebrating the seventieth anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the legendary Hollywood studio that defined screen glamour and elegance for the world, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 24, 1994. MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS comprises 112 feature films produced by MGM from the 1920s to the present, including musicals, thrillers, comedies, and melodramas. On view through September 30, the exhibition highlights a number of classics, as well as lesser-known films by directors who deserve wider recognition. MGM's films are distinguished by a high artistic level, with a consistent polish and technical virtuosity unseen anywhere, and by a roster of the most famous stars in the world -- Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Greta Garbo, and Spencer Tracy. MGM also had under contract some of Hollywood's most talented directors, including Clarence Brown, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, and King Vidor, as well as outstanding cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, and editors. Exhibition highlights include Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), Victor Fleming's Gone Hith the Hind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939), Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise (1991). Less familiar titles are Monta Bell's Pretty Ladies and Lights of Old Broadway (both 1925), Rex Ingram's The Garden of Allah (1927) and The Prisoner - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 of Zenda (1929), Fred Zinnemann's Eyes in the Night (1942) and Act of Violence (1949), and Anthony Mann's Border Incident (1949) and The Naked Spur (1953).

  • Sherborne School and the Oscars
    ‘And the Academy Award goes to…’ Sherborne School and the Oscars Sherborne School is currently making its presence felt on the big screen. Not only has the School recently provided the set for two new films, The Imitation Game (2014) and Far from the Madding Crowd (2015), but two Old Shirburnian actors can currently be seen in two hugely successful films, Hugh Bonneville (d 1977-1981) in Paddington (2014) and Charlie Cox (c 1996-2001) in The Theory of Everything (2014). And, of course, Benedict Cumberbatch, himself the son of an Old Shirburnian, is portraying Old Shirburnian Alan Turing (h 1926-1931) in The Imitation Game (2014). The 87th Academy Award nominations for the 2015 Oscars see The Imitation Game (2014) with eight nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor, and The Theory of Everything (2014) with one nomination for Best Picture. But we will have to wait until 22 February 2015 to find out who will win a coveted Oscar. Jeremy Irons (b 1962-1966) is the only Old Shirburnian to date known to have won an Oscar. This was for his portrayal of Claus von Bülow in Reversal of Fortune (1990) in which he starred alongside Glenn Close. However, with a number of new films in the pipe line - La Corrispondenza (2015), High-Rise (2015), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), and Race (2016) – he will no doubt be adding a few more awards to his mantelpiece in the future. It was while he was at Sherborne that Irons first took to the stage, appearing as Mr Puff in the 1966 production of The Critic.

    • f^^ NO. 63 The Museum of ModerniMr Arti FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart JUNE 14, 1971 FIRST TIME AMERICAN MUSICAL FILM RETROSPECTIVE FEATURES EARLY MUSICALS NOT SHOWN IN FORTY YEARS Forty musical films, twenty of which have not been seen here in four decades, are part of a major retrospective, titled "The Roots of the American Musical Film (1927-1932)," to be presented over a seven week period, starting Thursday, June 17, at The Museum of Modem Art. Covering the first five years of sound movies, the retrospective, which is the first of its kind, includes such classic film musicals as "Whoopee," starring Eddie Cantor, Al Jolson in "The Jazz Singer," the four Marx Brothers in "The Cocoanuts" and "Rio Rita," starring Bebe Daniels and John Boles, with the famous comedy team Bert Wheeler and Robert Wooley. The music for these films, many of them originally Broadway plays, was provided by Irving Berlin, Sigmund Romberg, De Sylva, Brown and Henderson, Jerome Kern and George Gershwin among other famous composers. This unique series was conceived and assembled by'Miles Kreuger, theatre and film historian, author of an 800 page volume "The American Musical Film," to be published by E. P. Dutton this fall. Mr. Kreuger, who has one of the world' s largest research collections on American musical plays and films, will be present on the opening night to discuss the growth of this indigenous type of American film art "from the technical experimentation of ' The Jazz Singer' in 1927 to the exquisite sophistication and flamboyant artistry of Rouben Mamoulian' s ' Love Me Tonight,' produced only five years later." Burrowing into film vaults from Hollywood to Europe, the Museum has unearthed an original Technicolor print of Marilyn Miller in "Sally," and from Czechoslovakia has come the all-Technicolor print of Sam Goldwyn' s "Whoopee," featuring almost all the principals of the Flo Ziegfeld stage production.
