the new restoration, do you know?
All the best,Simon

College of Santa Fe Opens New Chapter for "The Screen" -- The Horse Boy,
Rembrandt's J'Accuse Among Films Featured
...
1/1 – “The Red Shoes”: Based on a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale
about a pair of enchanted crimson ballet slippers, ”The Red Shoes”
follows the story of beautiful Vicky Page (Moira Shearer), a young
ballerina; the rising composer, Julian Craster (Marius Goring), whom she
loves; and her dictatorial director, Boris Lermontov (Anton Walbrook).
This version of the film is Martin Scorsese's immaculate 35mm
restoration of the classic 1948 Powell and Pressburger musical.

"Red Shoes" Dances at Box Office
While restorations and re-issues are not included in indieWIRE's weekly
box office chart, the performance of Michael Powell and Emeric
Pressburger's "The Red Shoes" over the weekend deserves some
consideration. The film grossed $17,520 on a single screen at New York's
Film Forum, giving it a first week total of $30,354.

"We are absolutely thrilled with our two-week presentation of the
restored print of 'The Red Shoes,'" Karen Cooper, director of the Film
Forum, told indieWIRE. "Its first week gross was $30, 354 and its second
week looks to be just as strong. The restoration of this glorious ballet
classic is probably the best I've ever seen. Credit for the restoration
goes to UCLA, Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation, MGM and many others.
We were particularly delighted that Maureen Dowd devoted an Op-Ed piece
in The New York Times to the film and that Manohla Dargis, also in The
Times, gave it the glowing critical appreciation it deserves."

MGM, who owns the title, will be expanding 'The Red Shoes' to other
cities over the next few weeks.

Sallis Benney Theatre, University of Brighton
Mon 30 Nov 6.15pm

Film historian and broadcaster Ian Christie explores some of the films
that Michael Powell, David Lean and Terry Gilliam, among others, didn’t
manage to make, and asks how these might have changed our image of these
directors. All film-makers suffer from cherished projects failing to get
made, after many months or years have been spent preparing them. Would
they have been masterpieces – or were some perhaps better not made? And
how much can we know about them? Ian Christie has published many books
on Michael Powell, Gilliam on Gilliam and, most recently, The Art of
Film: John Box and Production Design.

Steve

OH NO! I'll be in Los Angeles in December.  I'm in misery. :-(  Maybe there
will be another screening in LA.

And now imagine that vast improvement on a full sized screen. It's worth
making the effort to see it. I travelled about a thousand miles (each

again next week in Bath

Thanks, Steve ....

The Astor is one of the last of the Grand Old Cinemas, with a huge screen and
(still) the ability to show 70 mm prints. I'll try to get there, but it's right
across Melbourne from me, and I rely on public transport.

Meanwhile, I have a copy of the new transfer on DVD, and have seen the same
version on Blu-Ray. Not a lot of difference on a 42-inch screen .... it's the
vast improvement in the colours, as much as clarification of the images, that
makes it such an achievement.

Optimum, Pinewood team on archive
Distrib gets rights to U.K. film classics
By PATRICK WAISMANN

LONDON -- StudioCanal's U.K. distrib Optimum Releasing and Pinewood
Studios have teamed up to protect British movie classics.

The pair have launched an initiative to preserve the British Library
Archive.

Pinewood has agreed to the construction of two state-of-the-art cold
storage facilities on the Pinewood lot, which are expected to be
completed by early 2010 and will store some of the older more fragile stock.

Pinewood will also provide a large amount of the film and audio
restoration services for the film archive, and will start with
restorations of three classic titles -- Michael Powell's "Peeping Tom,"
Robert Hamer's "Kind Hearts and Coronets" and Lionel Jeffries' "The
Railway Children."

The British Library Archive is home to some 1,400 classic British films,
including Carol Reed's "The Third Man," Alexander Mackendrick's "The
Ladykillers" and Michael Anderson's "The Dam Busters."

The archive has been based at Pinewood for the past 20 years.

Optimum has also taken over management of the archive content, including
responsibility for sales and merchandising of the titles; each of the
classics will be re-released in theaters and be made available in
Blu-ray and DVD.

Thanks, Janet!  Some of the old radio programmes have amazing 'finds,' plays,
etc. with
stars before they became stars.  Wonderful to listen to and conjure and imagine.

I think you'll find that the Internet Archive offers Lux Radio Theatre shows, as
well as many hundreds of others, for free.  Conny Veidt fans will find a couple
of radio versions of "A Woman's Face" there, if interested.

I think you'll find that the Internet Archive offers Lux Radio Theatre shows, as
well as many hundreds of others, for free.  Conny Veidt fans will find a couple
of radio versions of "A Woman's Face" there, if interested.

The Sallis Benney theatre at the University of Brighton is showing IKWIG
on 25 November
Except that it's not IKWIG the 1945 film that we know and love, it's "I
Know Where I'm Going" the 2009 documentary by Ben Rivers

An off the beaten track road movie to the Isle Of Mull. Shot in 16mm
anamorphic, the widescreen cinematography captures striking panoramic
views of the landscape as Ben Rivers encounters beekeepers and forest
clearers and revisits subjects from previous films. His first stop is
with Jan Zalasiewicz, a geologist trying to imagine the Earth in
one-hundred million years. "Powell and Pressburger's heroine in their
magical I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING knows exactly where she’s going ... I
decided to follow her lead and make my destination the same as hers, but
with every intention of getting lost, following false leads, and
trusting in the laws of serendipity, while winding my way through an
almost abandoned, devastated Britain, to the Isle of Mull."


Ben Rivers made a film called I Know Where I'm Going (2009) as a part of
Vauxhall's Great British Road Trip. Ben explains the reason behind the
commission name; "The title of the film is a reference to the 1945 film
of the same name by Powell and Pressburger, they inspired me to become a
film maker and I wanted to recognise them in some way. The title is a
nice twist to the concept of my film, because I really didn't know where
I was going when I set off on my road trip."

Thanks for the alert, Nick.  The Lux Radio Theatre was tremendously
popular.

This may be of interest this Saturday evening. BBC Radio 4 14/11/09

20:00 - 21:00, though there is a shortened repeat on Wednesday

afternoon at 15:00.

Sponsored by a well-known 'toilet soap', the Lux Theater brought the

silver screen to the airwaves, with specially adapted versions of new

Hollywood products including The Philadelphia Story, The African Queen

and The Wizard of Oz. Professor Jeffrey Richards takes us back to the

place where cinema and radio united and produced an unlikely lovechild.

  From its first production in 1935, The Legionnaire and The Lady with

Clark Gable and Marlene Dietrich, The Lux Radio Theater strove to have

the same stars as the films. Over its 19-year history, it boasted the

biggest names in Hollywood - Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Joan

Crawford, Bette Davis, Frank Sinatra, Spencer Tracy and many more.

Sometimes the original players were not available, so the Theater

offered audiences a glimpse of an alternative universe, as listeners

discovered what these films would have been like with different

actors. On a few occasions the radio version boasted a more stellar

cast, for instance when Cary Grant stood in for Montgomery Clift in I

Confess.

At the start of each show Cecil B De Mille offered 'greetings from

Hollywood', gave a short introduction to the film and told listeners a

little about the stars. Twenty-five minutes later, he would turn up in

the interval for some 'movie news', which was a barely-concealed

advertisement for Lux and its frothy lather, and would return at the

end for an informal and, of course, unscripted chat with the actors,

in which they would invariably reveal their preference for a well-

known toilet soap.

These productions were performed live with full orchestra, and the

audience's reaction was often audible, which occasionally put the

actors off their lines. They also had to be half an hour shorter, and

were therefore much pacier than the originals, while retaining key

dialogue - so phrases like 'this is the beginning of a beautiful

friendship' and 'round up the usual suspects' are still present and

correct in Casablanca. But being live presented its own problems, with

stars sometimes falling ill the day before, or, on one occasion,

arriving at the studio 10 minutes after transmission had begun.
