    FİI~M YÖNETMENLERİ İLE SÖYLEŞİLER Çeviren: Andrew SARRIS İng. Ok. A. Fikret IŞIKYAKAR GEORGE CUKOR George Cukor: Biliyorsunuz, özür dilemekten daha kötü bir şey yok. Örneğin, bir film iyi olmadığı, ya da kötü biçimde eleş­ tirildiğiniz zaman, bunun hatası, şunun hatası yüzünden oldu demek çok kötü bir şey. Benim yaptığım sadece açık konuşmak: şansımız yaver gitmedi, bunu unutalım demek­ tir. Ama, mademki konunun detayına iniyorsunuz, size bu konuda bir şey söyliyelim. Gariptir ki, bir şeyler ortaya koy­ mak istediğim en iyi sahnelerin bazıları başarılı olamamış filmler içinde yer almaktadır. Bu, çok gariptir. Ama, Öykü• nün ana hatları böyle sahneleri içeriyor ise, o zaman, fil­ min sahneleri gerçekten bir şey ifade etmez. Ben, öykünün çok önemli olduğu kanısındayım. Kısaca öykünün anlatımı. Belki de öykü olmaksızın en iyi yapımı gerçekleştirebilir, rolü en güzel biçimde oynayabilirsiniz... ama, hepsi başa­ rısız olur, çünkü, izleyicinin dikkatini çekemezsiniz. 136 Richard Overstreet: Bu açıdan, The Chapman Report'un (Şehvet­ li Kadınlar) başarılı olduğu kanısında mısınız? GC: Onun ile ilgili olarak size bazı şeyler söylemeliyim. O, üç kadın ve bu kadınların sorunları ile ilgili bir öykü idi. Jane Fonda'nın sorunu, soğukluk (frigidity) idi... Temel sorun, kitabın oldukça coşturucu olması idi. Kanımca kitabın ya­ zarı, bir süre sonra, yayın evinin ricası üzerine, kitabın ge­ nel havasını gözden geçirdi. Böylece tüm sonuç, hummalı bir hastalıktan sonra meydana çıkmış gibi oldu. Mamafih, kitap çok hoşuma gitti. RO Bu kitabı, sizden film yapmanız isterimeden önce, okumuş muydunuz? GC Kitabı daha önce okudum... ve bir şeyden etkilendiğimi söy• leyebilirim: Fox şirketi ile sözleşmem vardı. Beni mahke­ meye vermeyi, ya da buna benzer bir iş yapmayı planlıyor­ yorlardı.

    Freeview 81 Film Club Sky 328 newsletter Freesat 306 OCT/NOV 2020 Virgin 445 Dear Supporters of Film and TV History, Hoping you are all well in these strange times. It has certainly been a month of ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ here! We were so sad to hear the recent news of the sad loss of French singer and actress Juliet Gréco who was recently seen in Whirpool and The Big Gamble on Talking Pictures TV. Also, our own dear Dame Diana Rigg DBE sadly passed away recently; there is a tribute to her on page 12. Good news on the ‘lost film can’ front – we’ve found another episode of No Hiding Place on 16mm from a viewer’s private collection! Lots of interesting short films have also been brought forward – so do keep on checking your lofts, sheds and under the bed…. I’m very proud of our new DVD release this month - it’s a charming film with George Cole and Prunella Scales:The Ghost of Greville Lodge. A wonderful film for all the family and a nice gift. Noel was the Executive Producer on the film and we have very fond memories as a family of being on set with George and Prunella. I was actually supposed to play one of the parts, but alas I didn’t make it through to the final audition! It’s now presented with optional subtitles for the very first time and just £10 with FREE UK postage. Details on pages 2 and 3. The second project I’ve been working on this month is a wonderful AUDIO BOOK of SCROOGE narrated by dear George Cole himself.

  • LIVES of the SAINTS Synopsis
    LIVES OF THE SAINTS Synopsis “Where pride is, the snake goes,” Italian proverb Adultery, the evil eye, and a snakebite are the circumstances that shape the childhood of Vittorio Innocente in the small village of Valle De Sole in a society dominated by religion and superstition. LIVES OF THE SAINTS begins in an Italy almost unchanged since the beginning of the last century—moving across time from the horrors of wartime Italy to the swinging counterculture that dominated Toronto in the late 60’s. This “intimate epic” travels from the sun-drenched Mediterranean to the frozen Arctic, to the flatlands of rural Ontario and finally back to the isolated hilltop village of Valle del Sole, Italy (Valley of the Sun), 20 years later in a story suffused with mystery, and betrayal. Who will pay for the sins and secrets of the family past? Vittorio’s turbulent childhood revolves around his love for his mother, Cristina, (whose husband Mario, has emigrated to Canada) but is informed by his Aunt Teresa (Sophia Loren). Also the village schoolteacher, she is his disciplinarian and his moral guide. To enhance his lessons, she uses stories from a religious picture book Lives of the Saints which she gives him 1 as a gift when he leaves Valle De Sole with his mother for the hope of a new and better life in Canada. A widow, Teresa is the glue that holds the family together while Cristina (Sabrina Ferilli), an independent spirit, is strong-willed and fiery. The village is full of whispers when Cristina is bitten in the barn by a poisonous snake.

  • Director George Cukor Honored Five-Week-21-Film
    The Museum of Modern Art ^^ ^^ I 11%^ iwiM^^^Miii VI ivawMX^l •• f-mi % ^^^ IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart DIRECTOR GEORGE CUKOR HONORED FIVE-WEEK-21-FILM RETROSPECTIVE A Five-Week Tribute to George Cukor, including 22 films by the American director, will commence on August 27, 1970 at The Museum of Modern Art. Starting with THE ROYAL FAMILY OF BROADWAY, the 1930 movie based on the famous Barrymore clan, with Ina Claire and Fredric March, the Cukor show covers more than three decades in the director's career. In the thirties, stars such as Gary Grant were familiar fixtures in his pictures; the late forties and fifties were marked by the film-maker's frequent collaboration with screenwriters Garson Kanin and his actress wife Ruth Gordon, as well as his pictures co- starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. The final film of the series, THE CHAPMAN REPORT, was made in 1963. The retrospective was assembled by Gary Carey, former Assistant Curator of the Museum's Department of Film and author of a forthcoming book entitled Cukor & Co., to be pub­ lished this fall by the Museum. According to Carey, Cukor was most sympathetic to comic material which had "a strong undercurrent of humanity." Cukor emphasized the roles of his writing collaborators, as well as his actors, because he was primarily influenced by the theater, which he entered in Chicago in 1918. He was a stage manager when stars such as Sarah Bernhardt, Isadora Duncan, Yvette Guilbert, Alia Nazimova, and Elsie Ferguson reigned.
