Casablanca To Stream — Free — On Facebook
16 May 2012 11:02 AM, PDT | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »
Warner Bros. is going all-out to promote its 70th anniversary edition of the Humphrey Bogart/Ingrid Bergman classic Casablanca including a one-night-only streaming of the movie on Facebook on May 16 — free. Warner Bros. Digital Distribution said that it will stream at 7:00 p.m. in the Eastern and Western time zones, but it was not clear whether that meant that viewers in the West would be able to watch the movie at 4:00 p.m. and viewers in the East, at 10:00 p.m. To make matters even more confusing, the company said that viewing must begin “within two hours of the Pacific start time.” The free availability of the movie comes following the release of the Blu-ray/DVD combo package of Casablanca, containing almost everything you wanted to know about the movie, including the documentaries Casablanca: An Unlikely Classic; Michael Curtiz: The Greatest Director You Never Heard of; The Brothers Warner; You Must Remember This: The Warner Bros. Story and Jack L. Warner: The Last Mogul. If that still doesn’t satisfy film buffs, there’s also an ebook being released called Inside the Script, containing Hal Wallis’s shooting script and additional items including Warner Bros. founder Jack Warner’s telegrams and memos concerning the movie. »

Warner Brothers to Stream ‘Casablanca’ on Facebook – One Night Only
16 May 2012 6:53 AM, PDT | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »
The average age of a Facebook user is older than you think. In 2010 it was 38 (and trending even older). But that still means your run of the mill individual on the world’s largest social network was born at least 32 years after one of the greatest films in the history of American cinema hit theaters. Casablanca debuted in 1942. That means the Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman flick about an American expatriate who meets a former lover while owning and operating a gin joint set in unoccupied Africa during the early days of World War 2 (that’s often considered one of the best movies ever made) celebrates its 70 anniversary this year. To commemorate the occasion, Warner Bros. Digital Distribution is doing a few things: Releasing a three-disc Blu-ray and DVD combo edition gift set featuring the original film, two never-before-seen documentaries about the film, and more than 14 hours of bonus material.

Robert Capa and Gerda Taro: love in a time of war
12 May 2012 4:08 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Capa and Taro lived, loved and died on the frontline, becoming the most famous war photographers of their time. As a new novel about them is published, we explore their real relationship
It begins with a photograph. In 1934 a struggling Hungarian photographer, André Friedmann, living in exile in Paris, is commissioned to take publicity pictures for a Swiss life insurance company's advertising brochure. On the lookout for potential models, he approaches a young Swiss refugee, Ruth Cerf, in a café on the Left Bank and convinces her to pose for him in a Montparnasse park.
Because she does not entirely trust the scruffy young charmer, Ruth brings along her friend Gerta Pohorylle, a petite redhead with a winning smile and a confident manner. So begins the most iconic relationship in the history of photography, and an intertwined and complex story of radical politics, bohemianism and bravery that, in the intervening years, »

Revisiting Colonel Blimp & Le Quai des Brumes
3 May 2012 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
They outraged the authorities on release. But the two films, made before and during the second world war, are now considered classics – and will be re-released this month. Our critics consider their impact
Ryan Gilbey on Le Quai des Brumes
It's easy now to call Marcel Carné's Le Quai des Brumes a masterpiece. When the film was released in 1938, such a view was more contentious. In the wake of the collapse of France's Popular Front government, the film was seen as exacerbating the mood of despair creeping into the left. Jean Renoir labelled it "counter-revolutionary". The Motion Picture Herald concluded: "One will be sorry that such art and talents have been used for such a trite and sordid story, which includes not a decent or healthy character." The Vichy government denounced it as "immoral, depressing and detrimental to young people", and declared that if the war was lost, Le Quai des Brumes »

Hedy Lamarr/Samson And Delilah: Ahead of The Hunger Games?
24 April 2012 1:02 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Charles Boyer, Hedy Lamarr, Algiers Hedy Lamarr can be seen later this month on Turner Classic Movies: I Take This Woman (1940) will be shown on Saturday, April 28, and The Conspirators (1944) on Monday, April 30. I Take This Woman was a troubled production that took so long to make — W.S. Van Dyke replaced Frank Borzage who had replaced original director Josef von Sternberg — that punsters called it "I Retake This Woman." Spencer Tracy co-stars as a doctor who marries European refugee Lamarr. Jean Negulesco’s The Conspirators has several elements in common with Michael Curtiz’s Casablanca, including an "exotic" World War II setting (in this case, Lisbon), conflicting loyalties, male lead Paul Henreid, and supporting players Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. Curiously, at one point Lamarr had been considered for the Casablanca role that eventually went to Ingrid Bergman. Neither I Take This Woman nor The Conspirators did much for Hedy Lamarr’s Hollywood career. »

The lengths that some short men will go to

A newly emerged picture shows one trick Beatles drummer Ringo Starr used to appear taller, but he's not the only one with issues about their height
A freshly unearthed photograph of Ringo Starr from the set of the 1964 Beatles movie A Hard Day's Night reveals – yet again – the lengths some vertically challenged celebrities will go to "maximise" their height. The image – taken by Peter Allchorne, the props manager at Pinewood Studios, and being auctioned next month – shows the 5ft 6in Starr perched rather precariously on a stool with his feet on three concrete blocks.
Standing next to taller co-stars or partners has long been a bear trap for the shortest percentile of celebrities. It was the 5ft 11in Nicole Kidman who remarked upon being granted a divorce from 5ft 7in Tom Cruise: "At least I can wear high heels again." Cruise has long been the source of speculation when »

Rebecca, Spellbound and Notorious Blu-ray Reviews
21 April 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
There are many ups and downs in Alfred Hitchcock’s long and varied career. From the British filmmaker who was learning his craft to the skilled thriller filmmaker we know today, there were many periods of uncertainy and compromise in his filmography. After proving his mastery with such films as The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes in England, Hitch was invited to America to work for David O. Selznick. It led to Rebecca, Spellbound and Notorious, which Fox has now put out on Blu-ray, and through the three you can see Hitchhcock learning how to work in America while retaining and refining his voice. Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, Ingrid Bergman, Gregory Peck, and Cary Grant star in the movies, and our review of the three follow after the jump. 1940’s Rebecca was Hitch’s first American production. He worked from a novel by Daphne Du Maurier (who wrote the book »

Casablanca: Movie Classic or Movie Farce?
20 April 2012 3:35 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Next year will mark the 70th anniversary of the 1943 Best Picture Oscar winner, Casablanca, starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Peter Lorre, and Conrad Veidt. Not only is Casablanca still regarded as one of the greatest American movies ever made, it features one of the most beloved romantic songs ever written ("As Time Goes By"), and one of the most-quoted, iconic movie lines of all-time ("Play it again, Sam"). To be named Best Picture of 1943, Casablanca had to overcome some formidable competition. The other nominees that year were: For Whom the Bell Tolls, Heaven Can Wait, The Human Comedy, In Which We Serve, Madame Curie, The More the Merrier, The Ox-Bow Incident, The Song of Bernadette, and Watch on the Rhine. But despite the accolades, there are some gaps in this movie's pedigree. For one, "As Time Goes By" not only didn't win the Academy Award for Best Song, »

Ingmar Bergman/Liv Ullmann Documentary: Liv & Ingmar
20 April 2012 12:45 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Ingmar Bergman, Liv Ullmann Liv Ullmann and Ingmar Bergman are the subjects of former architect Dheeraj Akolkar's documentary Liv & Ingmar, produced by the Norwegian company NordicStories and to be distributed by Sweden's Svensk Filmindustri. After meeting in 1965, Ullmann and Bergman made ten (narrative) films together; they were also off-screen companions for five years. In Liv & Ingmar, Ullmann, 73, is shown spending a few days in Bergman's house on the Swedish island of Fårø. While there, she reminisces about their personal and professional relationships. That sounds fascinating enough. But what makes Liv & Ingmar even more intriguing is that Ullmann's recollections are interspersed with scenes from her Bergman films, which is supposed to show how their personal lives directly affected their professional collaboration. In that regard, Liv & Ingmar makes Ullmann and Bergman seem like Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, who went from The Purple of Rose of Cairo and Hannah and Her Sisters »

Casablanca 70th Anniversary Limited Collector’s Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo Review
17 April 2012 9:08 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
“You must remember this…” Calling Casablanca a classic is something of an understatement. It’s the machinery of Hollywood in the 40’s at its pinnacle. It’s got great direction from Michael Curtiz, a witty and fast paced script, and stars. Stars like stars should be – indelible - and a cast of memorable supporting players who pop in brief appearances. Huphrey Bogart plays Rick, the owner of a bar in Casablanca whose life gets shaken up by the appearance of Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), his long lost love. But she’s now married to a leading resistance fighter, and there’s a war on. Our review of the 70th Anniversary edition of Casablanca on Blu-ray follows after the jump. The film opens introducing the world of Casablanca. The city is a port where many are stuck waiting to get to America. Many are predators, looking to get out by any means necessary. »

Ruth Wilson: 'I'd love to play Hamlet'

The critics adore her and tomorrow she is up for an Olivier award. She is known for brave portrayals of emotional extremity, but Ruth Wilson says fear is the key to her acting
'I wish I was more of a girly girl and could enjoy this more," says Ruth Wilson. We're walking down Waterloo backstreets to a pub for her photo shoot. She's the one in the sharp suit with good posture and a dancer's gait. After that ordeal, she has an appointment to choose the jewellery she will wear for tomorrow night's Olivier awards at the Royal Opera House, where she has been nominated as best actress for her critically acclaimed performance in the title role of Eugene O'Neill's play Anna Christie. Her sartorial mentor for the awards, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, has already helped Wilson choose a dress.

Movie Poster of the Week: “Assignment - Paris” and the Anselmo Ballester Posters of Märta Torén
13 April 2012 7:51 AM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
On its way to Italy the title of this little known 1952 film about an American reporter in Paris got changed from Assignment - Paris to Destination Budapest. Perhaps, in the midst of the cold war, Budapest was more alluring and dangerous than Paris, which certainly suits the typically dramatic artwork of the great Anselmo Ballester (1897-1974). What Leonard Maltin describes as a “fitfully entertaining drama of reporter Dana Andrews trying to link together threads of plot between Communist countries against the West” looks, in Ballester’s hands, like the most torrid of noirs. As in his great poster for Affair in Trinidad, Ballester renders his male lead in monochrome, all the better to highlight his leading lady, here resplendent in a tight yellow sweater and a shimmering green skirt (who ever painted the folds of women’s clothes more transcendently than Ballester?).

The Essentials: 5 Of Michael Curtiz's Greatest Films, On The 50th Anniversary Of His Death
10 April 2012 8:05 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
With the arrival of the auteur theory, filmmakers like Michael Curtiz no longer get as much sway among the current generation of directors. Curtiz (born Kertész Kaminer Manó in Hungary in 1886), was a journeyman, a man who flourished in the studio system after being picked out by Jack Warner for his Austrian Biblical epic "Moon of Israel" in 1924. He stayed at the studio for nearly 20 years, taking on whatever he was assigned at a terrifyingly prolific rate -- he made over 100 Hollywood movies up to "The Comancheros" in 1961. And some of them are terrible, as you might expect.
But Curtiz was also responsible for some of the greatest films of the era, and those who diminish his abilities (including the director himself, who once said "Who cares about character? I make it go so fast nobody notices") are ignoring his enormous skill behind the camera, and his undeniable capacity for »

Casablanca - 70th Anniversary Edition
10 April 2012 7:15 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Keeping company with the likes of Citizen Kane and The Godfather atop many “Best Films” lists, Casablanca is the most romanticized of the trio and for good reason. As the years pass and many films show their age, Casablanca has an ironically timeless quality to it; it’s a tale of complicated love through time that comes to a head in a purgatorial city which, save for an opening scene, plays out in night clubs, police stations, and shady bars. The performances by Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid in Casablanca earned them their spots in Hollywood glory, and rightfully so. Bogart is rarely sharper in film than he is here (save for maybe a few hardboiled detective roles), and Ingrid Bergman oozes sensuality as she struggles to decide which man she truly loves. It hasn’t been usurped as the ultimate romance of film in 70 years, and the »

The Films Of Sidney Lumet: A Retrospective
9 April 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It has been a year since Sidney Lumet passed away on April 9, 2011. Here is our retrospective on the legendary filmmaker to honor his memory. Originally published April 15, 2011.
Almost a week after the fact, we, like everyone that loves film, are still mourning the passing of the great American master Sidney Lumet, one of the true titans of cinema.
Lumet was never fancy. He never needed to be, as a master of blocking, economic camera movements and framing that empowered the emotion and or exact punctuation of a particular scene. First and foremost, as you’ve likely heard ad nauseum -- but hell, it’s true -- Lumet was a storyteller, and one that preferred his beloved New York to soundstages (though let's not romanticize it too much, he did his fair share of work on studio film sets too as most TV journeyman and early studio filmmakers did).
His directing career stretched well over 50 years, »

John Ostrander: Casablanca At 70 – As Time Goes By
8 April 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
As I Said Last Week And The Week Before And The Week Before That – Warning: I’m assuming that people reading this have seen the movie and thus will be fine with my discussing elements of the plot. If you’re one of those who haven’t watched the movie, do yourself a favor and Don’T Read This. See the movie instead and have your own experience with it. Trust me. You’ll be glad you did. If you need a plot synopsis, imdb has a good one here.
This is the fourth and final installment in my examination of the classic Warner Bros. film, Casablanca. Not that I couldn’t go on (and on and on) about it further but I figure there are limits to the patience of all of you out there and I thank you for indulging me thus far in looking at one of my own favorite films. »

Essential Viewing for fans of ‘The Raid: Redemption’ – 15 Classic Martial Arts Films
5 April 2012 10:42 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
The release of The Raid: Redemption has made us revisit our favourite martial arts flicks and pick five favourite films to suggest for Sound on Sight readers.
Before I give my five picks though, I would like to turn the floor over to a man who has been a friend of mine since grade seven at Oxford Street Junior High School in Halifax. As the line editor for Steve Jackson Games’ “Generic Universal RolePlaying System”, Sean Punch aka Dr. Kromm has been directly or indirectly responsible for a number of source-books on the Martial Arts including writing and editing Gurps Martial Arts.
I asked him earlier this week what films he would put on his list. He named three.
You’re not looking for goofy, cinematic Asian martial arts are you? Because I tend to like stuff that is more realistic, more like what commandos would use. You mentioned Steven Seagal »
