Argentine Cinema: Review of When The Pueblo Was Hollywood (2009)

2 February 2010 12:35 PM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

Fortuity provides an intriguing thematic segue. Brushing up on my Val Lewton research in anticipation of Pfa's Complicated Shadows series, I came across a brief mention at The Val Lewton Screenplay Collection--a fantastic resource for Lewton fans--that, allegedly, Val Lewton drafted a 400-page treatment of Nikolai Gogol's historical novel Taras Bulba. I have no idea if this has anything to do with the 1962 film Taras Bulba--whose screenplay adaptation is attributed to Waldo Salt and Karl Tunberg--but, nonetheless, this bit of trivia caught my attention because no less than a week or so ago Federico Windhausen--who I met at Susan Oxtoby's reception for Robert Beavers--contacted me to let me know that he had recently completed a documentary on the making of the 1962 film, Taras Bulba, which he advised had been filmed in--of all places--Salta, Argentina.
