  • Actor-Director Vincent Sherman, Who Played Harry Becker
    "Wyler knew how to get to the truth of each actor's capacity," actor-director Vincent Sherman, who played Harry Becker in William Wyler's "Counsellor at Law," told the Goldwyn Theater audience after a screening of the ftlm in July. "Counsellor at Law," Wyler's 1933 examination of the business and personal issues confronting a high-powered New York attorney, was screened as part of the Academy's centennial salute to the Oscar­ winning director. "Wyler wasn't always articulate about the details of the scene, TERENCE STAMP but he knew when it was right," Sherman said. "He knew how to squeeze every ounce of emotion that was in a scene and to get the best out of everybody." Sherman was joined on the panel by actor Terence Stamp, who starred in "The Collector," for WYLER'S BEN-HUR, CHARLTON HESTON , IS which Wyler earned the last of his directing nominations; actress Carroll Baker, who was directed INTRODUCED FROM THE AUDIENCE. by Wyler in "The Big Country;" and writer Fay Kanin, who with husband Michael was a colleague of Wyler. The panel was moderated by film critic Peter Rainer. Wyler earned a record twelve Academy Award nominations for directing, and during his career won Oscar statuettes for "Mrs. Miniver," "The Best Years of Our Lives" and "Ben-Hur." He earned nominations in the Best Picture category for "Roman Holiday" and "Friendly Persuasion," which also were among his directing nominations. He received the Irving G.ThaibergAward in 1965. When offered "The Big Country," Carroll Baker said, she was "a little bit self-conscious" because after "Baby Doll" she was being offered only "little sexpots." She mentioned her concern to Wyler.

  • 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.
