  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.

  • Discussion Questions for Women in Film Gathering, June 19, 2012
    1 Discussion Questions for Women in Film Gathering, June 19, 2012: Focal Film: The Apartment (1960; U.S.; Co‐written and Directed by Billy Wilder) Billy Wilder (1906‐2002) was one of the 20th century’s most respected writer/directors working in film. Born in Austria‐Hungary, he first wrote films for the German “national” studio, UFA. He was strongly influenced by a director who had earlier emigrated from Germany to the U.S.—Ernst Lubitsch. Both of these men were noted for their sophisticated comedies and elegantly constructed dramas, and in The Apartment, we may get both. Both men produced films of great distinction, handily earning the title of “auteur” of their works. And both frequently visited notions of gender roles, and relationships between the sexes. Some of Lubitsch’s films you might recognize are Ninotchka (with Greta Garbo and Melvin Douglas), Shop Around the Corner (with Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan; remade twice, lastly as You’ve Got Mail), and To Be or Not To Be (with Jack Benny and Carole Lombard). Important Billy Wilder films include Ninotchka (which he co‐wrote for Lubitsch), and the many films he both wrote or co‐wrote and directed, such as Double Indemnity (with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray), The Lost Weekend (with Ray Milland), Sunset Boulevard (with Gloria Swanson and William Holden), Stalag 17 (with William Holden), Sabrina (with Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden), The Seven Year Itch (with Marilyn Monroe), Some Like It Hot (with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon), Irma la Douce (with Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon), and The Fortune Cookie (the first pairing of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau; set and partially shot in Cleveland, BTW).
