"Modern Times (1936) Charlie Chaplin is in glorious form in this legendary satire of the mechanized world. As a factory worker driven bonkers by the soulless momentum of work, Chaplin executes a series of slapstick routines around machines, including a memorable encounter with an automatic feeding apparatus. The pantomime is triumphant, but Chaplin also draws a lively relationship between the Tramp and a street gamine. She's played by Pa ..."
"Chaplin signe avec Les Feux de la rampe une tragédie shakespearienne aux résonances humaines et philosophiques infinies. Il puise encore une fois dans son vécu, et nous plonge dans l'univers de ses débuts, celui des music-halls anglais. Calvero, ancienne vedette comique de music-hall, aujourd'hui miné par la vieillesse, l'oubli et l'alcool s'improvise sauveur d'une danseuse aux tendances suicidaires. Cette rencontre scelle le dest ..."
"Bob Hope puts his best talents forward as Nicky Nelson, a fast-talking promoter with more angles than a funhouse. Originally titled Some Like It Hot (and since renamed for obvious reasons), the film follows the desperate schemes of a would-be entrepreneur seemingly on the verge of success. He's got Gene Krupa's band under his management and he's in love with aspiring singer Shirley Ross, but after gambling away all his chances he's left ..."
"Before he first hit the road with Bing Crosby, Bob Hope was a quipping comedian who turned his radio success into a film career after a single appearance in The Big Broadcast of 1938. In that film he sang a duet with Shirley Ross, "Thanks for the Memory," that became his theme song and the title of this quickly produced comedy. In what is less a plot than a premise, Hope stars as an aspiring novelist who lives a comfortable urban exist ..."

"Interviews with Karl Struss, Joseph Ruttenberg, James Wong Howe, Linwood
Dunn, and William H. Clothier Karl Struss, Scott Eyman. On STAGECOACH (
1966) Ford called me a prostitute for doing that . The main mistake on that film
was in the title; ... Fox said that maybe he had Wally under contract but that there
was nothing in Lewis' contract that specified Kelley had to be used. So Mr. Lewis
came back on the set; he never crossed me, ..."

"D. W. Griffith is properly esteemed as "The Father of Film" from his years of discovery making short films at the pioneer Biograph Company and for such pioneering features as "The Birth of a Nation," "Intolerance," "Broken Blossoms," Way Down East" and "Orphans of the Storm" (all available on DVD from Image Entertainment), but his later films--several of them lost or almost unavailable--were far less critically hailed. Griffith's 1928 c ..."
