Greta Garbo, Melvyn Douglas in Ninotchka (top); Barbra Streisand, Robert Redford in The Way We Were (bottom)

From the  Romanovs&#8217; last stand to Warren Beatty&#8217;s first solo directorial effort: On every Wednesday in January 2010, Turner Classic Movies  will present the 20-film festival &#34;Shadows of Russia,&#34;  a showcase of Hollywood movies portraying Russia (and/or the Soviet Union) and the sociopolitical reverberations of Communism throughout the 20th century.
Among the scheduled films are classics such as Ninotchka, The Manchurian Candidate, and Reds, in addition to lesser-known fare like Counter-Attack, I Was a Communist for the FBI, and The Strawberry Statement. Get ready for some laughs and a few tears &#8212; mostly laughs. And mostly of the unintended kind.

Miriam Hopkins, one of the most underrated performers of the studio era, will have her &#34;Summer Under the Stars&#34; day on Thursday, Aug. 20.
Turner Classic Movies will present fourteen Miriam Hopkins films, including one TCM premiere &#8212; the Samuel Goldwyn production of Barbary Coast &#8212; and three of Hopkins&#8217; saucy pre-Code vehicles  made at Paramount.
Although there are no Hopkins rarities in the program &#8212; TCM must lease the Universal library, which contains both the  Universal and Paramount classics &#8212; it&#8217;s great to have a day dedicated to an actress who, no matter how good, has been usually dismissed because of her (alleged) off-screen behavior.
As I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

Ernst Lubitsch&#8217;s delightful  Ninotchka, starring Greta Garbo and Melvyn Douglas, will be screened as the  next feature in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ series  &#34;Hollywood’s Greatest Year: The Best Picture Nominees of 1939” on  Monday, July 13, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
 The evening will begin at 7 p.m., with the ninth chapter of  the 1939 serial Buck Rogers, starring Buster Crabbe and Constance  Moore, and the animated short The Autograph Hound, featuring Donald  Duck.

The Merry Widow (1934)
Direction: Ernst Lubitsch
Screenplay: Ernest Vajda and Samson Raphaelson; from Franz Lehár&#8217;s operetta
Cast: Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Edward Everett Horton, Una Merkel, George Barbier, Minna Gombell, Sterling Holloway
&#160;


&#160;
The Merry Widow is not one of Ernst Lubitsch&#8217;s most discussed films. Critics generally tend to focus on his early Paramount talkies, such as One Hour with You (co-directed by George Cukor) and Trouble in Paradise, and his later comedies Ninotchka and To Be or Not to Be.
Yet, The Merry Widow is a superior musical, boasting sumptuous sets (production design by Cedric Gibbons), exquisite cinematography (courtesy of Oliver T. Marsh), a magnificently staged ballroom-dancing sequence, witty lines and situations (by Lubitsch collaborators Samson Raphaelson and Ernest Vajda, from Franz Lehár&#8217;s operetta), [...]]]></description>

Lady Windermere&#8217;s Fan (1925)
Direction: Ernst Lubitsch
Screenplay: Julien Josephson; titles: Maude Fulton and Erik Yorke; from Oscar Wilde&#8217;s play
Cast: Ronald Colman, May McAvoy, Bert Lytell, Irene Rich, Edward Martindel


&#160;
 Bert Lytell is the nice husband, May McAvoy the jealous wife, Ronald Colman the other man, and Irene Rich (above) the scene stealer in Ernst Lubitsch&#8217;s delightful film version of Oscar Wilde&#8217;s play Lady Windermere&#8217;s Fan. 
In the film, Rich plays Mrs. Erlynne, a woman of the world in search of a lordly husband. McAvoy is her clueless daughter, Lady Windermere: she doesn&#8217;t know her mother&#8217;s identity and mistakenly believes that Mrs. Erlynne has set her sights on handsome Lord Windermere (Lytell). 
Petulant child that she is, Lady Windermere goes after eligible [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Miriam Hopkins:  Allan Ellenberger Interview Part I
I understand that Miriam Hopkins turned down a large number of parts. Could you name a few of those? And was there anything she felt sorry she missed out on &#8212; any part she rejected but then came to regret her decision, or any part she wanted to play but lost out to someone else?
[Photo: One role Miriam Hopkins accepted: the schoolteacher in These Three, opposite Merle Oberon.]
 During her career, Hopkins was scheduled to appear in countless films that were never made, or the parts were given to another actress. Of course, it was a combination of her changing her mind about projects and in some cases the studio changing theirs. Some [...]]]></description>

The News/Polskie Radio reports that an early (and thus far unnamed) Pola Negri vehicle has been discovered at Rome&#8217;s Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia by the husband-and-wife team of Marek and Malgorzata Hendrykowski  from Poznan University. Dating from the 1910s, the Polish production is a detective story set in Warsaw. The print has Italian subtitles and is said to be in good condition. 
Born (Barbara) Apolonia Chalupiec in 1894 in Lipno, central Poland, Pola Negri began her show business career dancing with the Imperial Ballet in Warsaw, later enrolling in Poland&#8217;s Academy of Dramatic Arts. Following her stage debut in 1913, Negri rapidly ascended to the top of her profession, and by the late 1910s she had become a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
&#34;Mamoulian,&#34; a complete retrospective of Hollywood director Rouben Mamoulian (1897-1987), one of cinema&#8217;s greatest stylists and innovators, will run at the Film Forum from Friday, September 7 through Tuesday, September 18.
As per the Film Forum&#8217;s press release, Mamoulian was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, to an Armenian family. He worked at the Moscow Art Theater while attending university, and, following a chance meeting with industrialist/philanthropist George Eastman (founder of the Kodak film company) he moved to Rochester, New York, to direct plays. 
Shortly thereafter he was on Broadway, directing Dorothy and Dubose Heyward&#8217;s Porgy, which became the basis for George Gershwin&#8217;s Porgy and Bess, a musical that Mamoulian would also direct. [See Porgy and Bess screening in New York.]

		<description><![CDATA[
Though relatively forgotten and, when remembered, usually dismissed as a second-rate talent (quite possibly by those who have never seen her on film), Miriam Hopkins was actually a highly capable performer who worked with some of the most renowned directors in Hollywood history &#8212; Rouben Mamoulian, Ernst Lubitsch, and William Wyler, among them.
Hopkins was also a household name in the 1930s, a time when she co-reigned, at least for a brief while early in the decade, as one of the Queens of Paramount.
Apart from the fact that time tends to dim memories, that most early Paramount films are shamefully unavailable (thanks to thoughtless executives at Universal, the studio that now owns most of the Paramount classics), and that most U.S. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the highlights of this year&#8217;s San Sebastián International Film Festival is a mouth-wateringly thorough Ernst Lubitsch Retrospective. 
Besides the obligatory titles, such as the witty 1939 comedy of bright lights and Communism, Ninotchka, and the delightful 1934 version of The Merry Widow, the retrospective is also showcasing a large number of Lubitsch rarities (including a few fragments of mostly lost films), ranging from his earliest work in Germany &#8212; among them several Pola Negri vehicles and the gender-bending 1918 comedy Ich möchte kein Mann sein / I Don&#8217;t Want to Be a Man, starring the German Mary Pickford, Ossi Oswalda &#8212; to some of his little seen Hollywood films, such as the 1931 psychological drama Broken Lullaby / [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Set in a 17th-century Danish village, Carl Theodor Dreyer&#8217;s masterful Vredens dag / Day of Wrath is a stark, but deeply felt indictment against religious fanaticism and intolerance. Moving performances by ingénue Lisbeth Modin and accused witch Anna Svierkier add a touch of humanity to the horrors shown on screen. It is not a coincidence that Vredens Dag was made in 1943, a time when Denmark was under Nazi occupation. The parallels &#8212; and the interconnectedness &#8212; between political and religious control are made quite clear in this harrowing masterwork.
