Hi, Rich, I'm sure those words were written by Frank Jacobs, a friend of mine and a movie poster collector as well (mostly 30's + 40's musicals). Everyone remembers the cartoonists at Mad--- Don Martin, Sergio Arigones and so many others---but the names of the writers from the early years

Thanks for the link. All this talk, and hearing the love theme in that clip makes me want to see it. Vertigo that is, and for the umpteenth time. Wherein lies one of the reasons I think it was ill judged, it invites comparison with "Alfred Hitchcock's Masterpiece". And though the directo

Re: [MOPO] OT: Bernard Herrmann, "Vertigo" and "The Artist"

My only problem with it was that it felt "off". For the whole of the film you had silent era music, then it moves to the sweeping Herrmann music which is from a much later time. I was pulled out and noticed a device used for more melodrama. I was bummed because the film had me up to then.

Re: [MOPO] OT: Moon River and Tiffany's

I love "Moon River," but I catch myself going back and forth on "Breakfast at Tiffany's." The film is lovely and has a five star opening, a lovely bridge in the middle when Audrey sings "Moon River" on a guitar and a five-star ending. But the stuff in-between isn't funny to me, certainly not

[MOPO] OT: Bernard Herrmann, "Vertigo" and "The Artist"

* Those of you who disagree - who feel the insertion of Bernard Herrmann's 5-minute "Love Theme from Vertigo" into 2011's "The Artist" - is a mild-to-moderate sacrilege - are NOT wrong. Many people feel the same way. I did not. I looked at the film as an homage, akin to many film

It could not be worse? - or could it - than LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, a film that managed to somehow trivialize the holocaust while still winning three Oscars. Not, as you can tell, one of my favorite OscarMoments. Kirby On Feb 14, 2012, at 10:17 AM, Neil Jaworski wrote: > The most recent, mainstrea

Re: [MOPO] What is the most recent "lost" film?

Howdy I wrote Earl Owensby's first film - CHALLENGE - when I was a kid just out of film school. Earl's acting was so bad he asked that his throat be cut in the opening action sequence so he would be mute and not required to deliver dialogue throughout the remaining 80 excrutiating minutes that

Re: [MOPO] What is the most recent "lost" film?

The most recent, mainstream "lost" film might be Jerry Lewis' tragi-comedy "The Day The Clown Cried" (1972) where Jerry plays a clown in a concentration camp who's job it is to lead kids into the gas chambers. Only a handful of people have ever seen the film including Harry Shearer who said "Th

Re: [MOPO] What is the most recent "lost" film?

There were a lot of independent films from the 60s that played only as roadshow pictures with no studio or release backing. Most of them are "lost" inthe sense the few remaining prints are not available on DVD or Video tape. One famous one is Hot Rod Hulabaloo - which I believe is still lost. I

Re: [MOPO] What is the most recent "lost" film?

I just checked the IMDb for the the films of Earl Owensby, and while I'm pretty sure that most of his films eventually saw a video release, THE BRASS RING from 1975 has no votes at all, so chances are, that this one is indeed lost. For those who are not familiar with the name, Earl Owensby's E.O

Re: [MOPO] Bernard Herrmann, "Vertigo" and "The Artist"

I finally saw The Artist last week. I knew about the Vertigo quote and thought that Herrmann's music suited the scene to which it had been applied, but I still find the use questionable. One of my friends who saw the film before I did, told me that the Vertigo quote pulled him completely out of th

Re: [MOPO] What is the most recent "lost" film?

Very true, Kirby! But that was not my question. Wim, I was not counting made for TV. I think the reason so many of those were lost is that they simply re-used the tapes (you could record right over the last recording), so it saved lots of money. Kind of like how they melted down old films! Bruce

Most of the sixties and seventies TV on videotape is lost. Wiped because videotape was so expensive. It's a matter of debate if a TV-movie is a movie of course, but then quite a few had their own publicity paper. Wim Op 14 feb 2012, om 15:25 heeft Bruce Hershenson het volgende geschreven: > We

Those songs are all memorable, of course. The history of MOON RIVER is addressed in FIFTH AVENUE, 5 A.M., Sam Wasson's little book about the making of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S. This is a very entertaining read. The footnotes are almost as entertaining as the text. The most amazing thing about M

“But I thought it enhanced the picture “ Of course! I think it would enhance any picture it was applied to and that’s why I really don’t care for it being inserted in to what amounts as a massive gimmick, which “The Artist” is. In many ways it’s like watching a vacuum cleaner shuttle along the
