"Though perhaps best known for searing dramas like The Hurricane, filmmaker Norman Jewison has always had a sure hand with comedy, too. In a film and television career that dates back to the early '50s, the director also earned critical and commercial success for the lighter likes of The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming and Moonstruck. Always eager to entertain, Jewison begins this memoir on a farcical note. By 1969, he had a ..."
"A major motion picture directed by Norman Jewison and starring Michael Caine opening in December 2003 Set in the south of France and Paris in the early 1990s, The Statement is the riveting tale of Pierre Brossard, a former officer in the pro-Fascist militia, which served Vichy in its most shameful aspect, and a murderer of Jews. Now seventy years old, Brossard has spent the better part of his life in hiding, traveling among the monast ..."

"Fall under the delightful spell of Moonstruck, the mesmerizing romantic comedy from director Norman Jewison (Fiddler on the Roof) and OscarÂ(r) winner* John Patrick Shanley. Academy AwardÂ(r) winners** Cher, Nicolas Cage and Olympia Dukakis excel in this explosively funny tale which also features flawless performances by Danny Aiello, Vincent Gardenia and Frasier's John Mahoney. Cher is "devastatingly funny, sinuous and beautiful" (P ..."
"Film-Veteran Norman Jewison hat als einer der wenigen Filmemacher verstanden, dass eine überzeugende Film-Biografie oft nur entstehen kann, wenn man sich nicht sklavisch an die Fakten hält, sondern im Sinne der Geschichte Dinge vielleicht vereinfacht oder aus dem Plot verbannt. Wenn die Essenz der Geschichte dabei nicht verloren geht, hat dies nichts mit Verfälschung zu tun. Ein eindrucksvolles Beispiel dafür stellt seine Filmbiografie ..."
"Norman Jewison's dystopian Rollerball portrays a near-future in the aftermath of the Corporate Wars, in which nations have crumbled and conglomerates rule. In place of freedom the people are given bread and circuses: material comfort and rollerball itself. Played on a circular, slanted track by men on skates and motorbikes, this extreme sport is the ultimate extrapolation of the primitive blood lust implicit in many team sports. James C ..."
"Al Pacino plays a Maryland lawyer who takes on a judicial system rife with dealmaking in this awkward blend of satire and sentimentality. Topical director Norman Jewison can't seem to help Pacino get comfortable with the mismatched material, which pushes the film into outrageousness at some turns and mawkishness at others. The script by Barry Levinson and Valerie Curtin is more an accumulation of random ideas and moments than a congruen ..."

"On May 26, 1967, the spiraling career of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, then the top contender for the world middleweight boxing crown, came to a shuddering and tragic halt: he and a young fan were found guilty of murder of three white people in a New Jersey bar. The nightmare knew no bounds as Carter traded his superstar status for a prison number and the concrete walls of some of America's most horrific institutions. Originally published a ..."
"Perhaps the most powerful picture ever made about the shattering aftermath of the Vietnam War, Coming Home earned eight Academy AwardÂ(r) nominations* and three OscarsÂ(r): Actress (Jane Fonda), Actor (Jon Voight) and Original Screenplay. Hailed by critics as "dazzling" (Rex Reed), "gripping" (Leonard Maltin) and "unforgettable" (Judith Crist), it is a heart-rending examination of a critical period in our nation's history and "an uncomp ..."
"Jesus Christ Superstar has been the definitive rock musical ever since its 1972 London stage premiere. Revived to great acclaim in the late 1990s, it has everything you'd expect from a blockbuster: great songs, strong characterisation and, crucially, a cracking story. This video is based on the 1998 London production. Director Gale Edwards pulls few punches in her efforts to draw a truly modern interpretation from a gifted cast. Pilate' ..."

"The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming looks overly cute now, but really, it was pretty hip for 1966. The cold war was in full deep-freeze when this well-meaning comedy tried to thaw things out a little: a Soviet submarine beaches on the New England coast, sending the locals into a paranoid frenzy. The chief pleasure of the film is Alan Arkin as the sub captain; this was Arkin's first major film role, and he had already master ..."

"Art imitates life in this romantic comedy, which casts Reynolds and Hawn as a successful Hollywood screenwriting team. Their harmonious working and romantic relationship goes south when they decide to get married after years of living together. Written by and based on the lives of writers Barry Levinson and Valerie Curtin, the film is a decidedly bittersweet affair: after all, Levinson and Curtin got married, then divorced, just like th ..."
"Die Verfilmung dieser Rock-Oper ist ein absolutes Phänomen, denn mit einem derartigen Erfolg hatte niemand gerechnet. In diesem Musikfilm werden die letzten Wochen der Passionsgeschichte und des Lebens Christi mit fetziger Musik und Songs dargestellt.Die Verurteilung und Kreuzigung Christi aus der Sicht Judas haben sich eine Gruppe junger Leute zur Aufgabe gemacht. Mehr durch Zufall war eine Reisegruppe in die Wüste Israels geraten und ..."
