I still think it is unfair to judge Kazan like this. Rightly or wrongly, Kazan made many, many films. Polonsky only three. If Polonsky hadn't been blacklisted,...

Sorry, do not have a copy of this! In the late 1960's, American Public TV showed a terrific version of Bartok's opera "Bluebeard's Castle". Could this be the...

Sorry about the multiple posting; I was at this Internet Kiosk with a touch pad, which I am not used to. "Feeding Boys" was horrible, pretentious, middle-brow,...

I saw an early screening of "The Station Agent" two months ago. And while it's certainly well-made it didn't impress me much at all. What's knocking people out...
This is the Minnelli Centennial: he was born February 28, 2003. Here are some notes on two scenes in Minnelli that recall Max Ophuls (two of my all-time...
I saw STATION MASTER in LA last week. A Q&A by the writer/director McCarthy and male leads Dinklage and Cannavale followed. Clarkson was performing or...
The fashion show finale of "Lovely to Look At" (whose shooting took longer than the rest of the entire film) also cross-references "Ziegfeld Follies" with...
Forgive me if this has been posted and I missed it but we are mentioned on the editorial page of the current issue of Cineaste. The topic is Film Criticism in...

Interesting that STATION AGENT and LOST IN TRANSITION are getting a lot of attention as they are both films dealing with LONELINESS, although I would say Lost...
One thing that I've noticed from reading posts almost daily on this board is that there are few things more effective in getting people to see films than...
I've had my eye on CINEMA OF LONELINESS for some months now, it's been a constant presence in the Film section of every bookstore. Unfortunately I haven't read...
Dear comrades - A friend and I often like to quote a great line from AMERICAN GIGOLO, near the end when the creepy pimp says (of Richard Gere's character): "I...
Kazan seems to be an interesting but not quite top director. "Gentleman's Agreement" is a still trenchant treatment of the horrors of anti-Semitism. "Panic in...
