Karloff & Lugosi Horror Classics DVD
"With a few exceptions," wrote Andrew Sarris in You Ain’t Heard Nothin’ Yet, "The Bride of Frankenstein represented the last gasp of the horror film as a serious genre. The creeping disease of facetiousness crippled the genre even more distressingly than it had the gangster film. The dilution of creativity proceeded apace in both genres with anachronistic wise-cracking, farcical reactions, low-brow skepticism, and ‘darky’ caricatures. Warners even promoted the miscegenation of genres with gangsters and ghouls, electric chairs, and haunted graveyards…"
If those lines rouse your curiosity as to just what those films from the horror genre’s declining years might have been like, let me direct your attention [...]

NOAH’S ARK – George O’Brien, Dolores Costello
Noah’s Ark (1928)
Direction: Michael Curtiz
Screenplay: Anthony Coldeway; from Darryl F. Zanuck’s original story
Cast: George O’Brien, Dolores Costello, Guinn ‘Big Boy’ Williams, Noah Beery, Louise Fazenda, Malcolm Waite, Paul McAllister
Of all the films from that magical moment when silent movies merged into sound, nothing is as effective as Michael Curtiz’s Noah’s Ark: it has a romantic story, splashy scenes, and plenty of disasters. Add to that some Biblical babble and you have what can be best described as an "epic."
In Noah’s Ark, two American chums bumming around Europe on the eve of WWI get personally involved in the drama when their country enters the conflict. Travis, played by handsome male lead George O’Brien, and his best friend, Al (Gwynn [...]

Great Directors Series on Turner Classic Movies
Jeanne Moreau, Henri Serre, Oskar Werner in François Truffaut’s Jules et Jim
In June, Turner Classic Movies‘ month-long series "Great Directors" will be celebrating the efforts of 52 films directors, from past and present, from Hollywood and overseas (though, as to be expected, mostly Hollywood).
Among TCM’s "greats" are, inevitably, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Billy Wilder, Steven Spielberg, and John Ford, but also Jacques Tourneur, Mervyn LeRoy, and Budd Boetticher.
Akira Kurosawa, Federico Fellini, Carol Reed, and Ingmar Bergman are four of the non-Hollywood filmmakers who have been included in the series.
Each weekday of the "Great Directors" series will feature two directors — one during the day; the other at night. The daytime lineup includes Victor Fleming (June [...]

CASABLANCA VII – Final Commentary
Dooley Wilson, Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca
CASABLANCA Review Part VI
On the plus side, Casablanca is quite modern in terms of pacing (and in some aspects of editing), for within the first ten or twelve minutes you feel as if you know these archetypal characters (for good or ill), as if you’d already had a full movie’s worth of them under your belt. This is part of the reason why the film sucks you into its vortex, and gets (subjectively) better as it goes on, even if, objectively, it’s fairly static in terms of plot.
On the downside, Casablanca has not dated well because of its poor special effects (at the level of Alfred [...]

CASABLANCA IV – Ingrid Bergman
Casablanca is part of a two-disc DVD package, put out by Warner Bros. Disc one has the film in a transfer (1.33:1 aspect ratio) stunningly free of blemishes. The disc also has two theatrical trailers (the original and re-release trailers); an introduction by Bogart’s widow, Lauren Bacall; and two commentaries. The lesser one is by film historian Rudy Behlmer. It’s loaded with information on the making of the film, but Behlmer is just reading from a script of Warner Bros. inter-office memos about the film, and few of the facts are scene-specific. Behlmer’s monotone is also rather off-putting, and he rarely ventures an idea or [...]

Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca
By Dan Schneider of Cosmoetica:
About three years ago, I finally gave in to watch It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) for the first time. I had hesitated because of the five- and ten-minute snippets of the film I had seen, and for its reputation as a hokey Christmas story ‘chestnut.’ Well, was I wrong, for It’s a Wonderful Life is a truly great film — arguably the best [...]

Oscar Answers #3, 4, 5
Oscar Answer No. 3
John Huston (right), from Moulin Rouge (1952) to Prizzi’s Honor (1985), a total of 33 years.
In 1952, Huston lost the Oscar to John Ford for The Quiet Man, and in 1985 to Sydney Pollack for Out of Africa. Huston, however, did win for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948).
Roman Polanski comes in second, from Tess (1980) to The Pianist (2002), 22 years; and Joseph L. Mankiewicz in third, from 5 Fingers (1952) to Sleuth (1972), 20 years.
In fourth place, with a 19-year gap between nominations, it’s a tie: Otto Preminger, from Laura in 1944 to The Cardinal in 1963; and David Lean, from Doctor Zhivago in 1965 to A Passage to [...]
