I due progettano di sposarsi a Parigi perché il padre dell'uomo non vuole vedere il figlio sposato con una ragazza che non sia ricca; dunque Dorothy e Lorelei si imbarcano per essere raggiunte da Gus in un secondo momento.

The Women (1939) ​ The Women is a 1939 American comedy-drama film directed by George Cukor. The film is based on Clare Boothe Luce's 1936 play of the same name, and was adapted for the screen by Anita Loos and Jane Murfin, who had to make the film acceptable for the Production Code for it to be released.  The film stars Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard, Joan Fontaine, Lucile Watson, Mary Boland, Florence Nash, and Virginia Grey. Marjorie Main and Phyllis Povah also appear, reprising their stage roles from the play. Ruth Hussey, Virginia Weidler, Butterfly McQueen, and Hedda Hopper also appear in smaller roles. Fontaine was the last surviving actress with a credited role in the film; she died in 2013. It is also important to note that even the animals and pets are all female.  The film continued the play's all-female tradition—the entire cast of more than 130 speaking roles was female. Set in the glamorous Manhattan apartments of high society evoked by Cedric Gibbons, and in Reno, Nevada, where they obtain their divorces, it presents an acidic commentary on the pampered lives and power struggles of various rich, bored wives and other women they come into contact with.  Filmed in black and white, it includes a six-minute fashion parade filmed in Technicolor, featuring Adrian's most outré designs; often cut in modern screenings, it has been restored by Turner Classic Movies. On DVD, the original black-and-white fashion show, which is a different take, is available for the first time. ​ The Opposite Sex (1956)   The Opposite Sex is a 1956 American musical romantic comedy film shot in Metrocolor and CinemaScope.[3][4] The film was directed by David Miller and stars June Allyson, Joan Collins, Dolores Gray, Ann Sheridan, and Ann Miller, with Leslie Nielsen, Jeff Richards, Agnes Moorehead, Charlotte Greenwood, Joan Blondell, and Sam Levene. ​ The Opposite Sex is a remake of the 1939 comedy film The Women. Both films are based on Clare Boothe Luce's original 1936 play. ​ Unlike the 1936 play and the 1939 film adaptation, The Opposite Sex includes musical numbers and features male actors who portray the husbands and boyfriends, whose characters were only referred to in the previous film and stage versions.[6] This alters the structure and tone of the base storyline significantly.   Opening Credits; Introduction (.37); Background History (42.13);The Women (1939) Film Trailer (44.51); The Original (48.16); Let's Rate (1:43.07); Amazing Design (1:59.54); Introducing a Remake (2:01.07); The Opposite Sex (1956) Film Trailer (2:01.41); The Remake (2:05.22); How Many Stars (2:44.07); End Credits (2:58.26); Closing Credits (3:00.39)   Opening Credits– Epidemic Sound – copyright 2021.

Anita Loos foi roteirista e uma das personagens mais conhecidas do cinema mudo. Começou escrevendo intertítulos picantes e inteligentes. Depois, ficou famosa ao escrever o romance Os Homens Preferem as Loiras, em 1926. O livro virou filme mudo, peça na Broadway, e até outro filme com Marylin Monroe. Loos era conhecida por sua escrita sarcástica, cheia de sagacidade verbal. Vale lembrar que a redação de roteiros, o forte de Loos, era o departamento mais feminino da indústria: roteiristas, editoras de estória, artistas de intertítulos e cenógrafas trabalhavam juntas. Roteiristas chegavam, em muitos casos, a ser até mais respeitados/as que diretores. A trajetória de Loos comprova o protagonismo das mulheres no cinema mudo. Realidade que durou pouco, já que a indústria cinematográfica, enquanto se consolidava como “negócio”, foi dominada por homens. As mulheres, que durante os anos 1920 ocupavam funções executivas, foram limadas do sistema.

Have you ever wondered how to take some pointless old rich men for a ride? Have you ever wanted to learn to do close-up magic with a diamond tiara? Join us for a discussion of Anita Loos’s 1924 Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and hear all about diamonds, silly hats, funny brunette best friends, and remarkably dumb aristocrats. We talk about money, sexuality, and gender, and living the dream of having a rich husband and a fun boyfriend at the same time. We also ponder the timeless question, “what do gentlemen prefer?” turning to a most educational Cosmo survey of thousands of “horny men.” We read the Liveright edition with an introduction by Jenny McPhee. We recommend Loos’s autobiography A Girl Like I and T.E. Blom’s 1976 reconsideration of the novel, “Anita Loos and Sexual Economics: ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,’” published in The Canadian Review of American Studies.

What?  Circa Sunday Night has actually made it to 10 episodes?  It's a good thing podcasts aren't canceled like TV shows!  Well,10 episodes may not seem like much of a milestone, but to Jennifer it's HUGE!  When she first decided to jump into podcasting, even putting together one show was an overwhelming prospect.  Now, if someone is so inclined (but honestly, who would be?) he or she could listen to Jennifer gab away for more than 10 hours straight. Goodness.  Anyway, we're going back to Hollywood tonight (no, not for more Jean Harlow!).  We're going to meet a woman who was one of the most important screenwriters of the 20th century: Anita Loos.  But she wasn't just a screenwriter, she spent a lifetime writing: memoirs, how-to books, and novels, too.  In fact, she wrote was has been called "A Great American Novel," Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.  Tonight we'll take an in-depth look at that book.  We'll also spend some time with one of her wonderful short stories, learn how to write a treatment for film, and more!  Of course, we'll wrap up as we always do, with Jennifer sharing with us her Favorite Thing of the Week.Notes and Links for Tonight's ShowThe New York Hat (1912)Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes by Anita LoosAnita Loos: A Biography by Gary CareyAnita Loos Rediscovered: Film Treatments and Fiction by Anita Loos by Cari Beauchamp and Mary Anita LoosWikipedia entry on Anita LoosPsychology Today blog discussion:  Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes?  How to Write a Film Treatment tips from the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and TelevisionThe Women (1939)Gaslight (1944)Explore Circa 19xx LandMeet the podcasterCheck out the Circa19xx Pinterest Page, and the show board for this episodeVisit Circa 19xx LandThe Circa-19xx Facebook Page

Zsa Zsa Gabor belongs to a legacy of modern wit from sass mouth dames such as Anita Loos, Dorothy Parker, Mae West, and Tallulah Bankhead. She argued for a career--that there was more to life than just being a wife--three years before Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique. By her third picture, Moulin Rouge, Zsa Zsa became a star. She is uncorked champagne, bubbly and vivacious. And she steals everything but the camera.

  Book Vs Movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes The Anita Loos 1925 novel Vs the 1953 Howard Hawkes classic film  The Margos are heading back to the 50s (well, really the 20s if you want to be technical about it!) Gentleman Prefer Blondes was first published in 1925 by Anita Loos in Harper’s Bazaar magazine as a serial. The book itself was so popular at the time that Edith Wharton dubbed it “the Great American Novel” considering it came out the same year as Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby--that is incredible praise.  The story itself is a simple tale about a “professional lady” making her way in the world trying to nab a wealthy suitor. Lorelei Lee is a blonde flapper from Little Rock, Arkansas and men can’t help but so attracted to her she winds up getting whatever she wished for in life.  Dorothy Shaw is Lorelei’s best friend and has her own romantic struggles (one of them being a brunette which makes her work harder to get men to pay attention to her.) The movie was directed by Howard Hawkes and stars Jane Russell as Dorothy and Marilyn Monroe as Lorelei. It was a huge hit in 1953 and the stars got along famously. It’s considered a classic musical and pre-feminist statement.  Between the novella and Howard Hawkes film--which did the Margos like better? (Is it even going to be close?)  In this ep the Margos discuss: The life of Anita Loos The setting of the book and why the 1920s was known as the flapper era Major changes between the novel and the 1953 film The cast which includes: Marilyn Monroe (Lorelei Lee,) Jane Russell (Dorothy Shaw,) Charles Coburn (Sir Francis “Piggy” Beekman,) Elliott Reid (Ernie Malone,) Tommy Noonan (Gus Esmond Jr,) and George Winslow (Henry Spofford)  Clips Featured: Lorelei is accused of stealing in Paris Gentleman Prefer Blondes trailer Lorelei and Dorothy meet Henry Spofford Lady Beekman (Norma Varden) shows Lorelei her tiara Outro music: “Is There Anyone Here for Love” Jane Russell Join our Patreon page to help support the show! https://www.patreon.com/bookversusmovie  Book Vs.

Conoceremos a Alice Guyl, Anita Loos y Mary Pickford, las madres del cine.

It’s the birthday of novelist and screenwriter Anita Loos (1889), who wrote approximately 150 screenplays for silent films between 1913 and 1928.

Welcome back to our Winter of Wayback series, in which we dig into the literary scene of the 1920s. This week: a novel about a conniving flapper who bends men to her will. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, by Anita Loos, is the source material for the 1954 Marilyn Monroe/Jane Russel movie (by way of a Broadway musical). It was also a blockbuster success in its own right, even if in historical memory it's been a bit overshadowed by the film. Edith Wharton declared it "the great American novel," and both William Faulkner and James Joyce counted themselves as fans. Also this week: Anita Loos's longtime crush on H.L. Mencken, plus more monkey escapades (the '20s really were the heyday of monkey escapades). If you like the show and would like more Book Fight in your life, consider subscribing to our Patreon.

The number and variety of stories collected about Paulette Goddard far exceed the wildest plot of any picture she starred in. Paulette was a siren with a serious business acumen. She parlayed her beauty, charm, and intelligence into a very comfortable living. In her first picture for MGM, the year before the crown jewel of woman's pictures (The Women), she takes a cue from Katharine Hepburn's imperious performance in RKO's gem Stage Door. I close the episode with a brief excerpt from 'Anatomy of a Siren', an essay by Anita Loos.

Back in episode 47, Whitney Scharer discussed the incredible sale of her debut, THE AGE OF LIGHT, and now, she and James discuss the actual novel, which depicts the relationship between Lee Miller and May Ray. They talk about creating fictional characters from real people, when she had her "Aha!" insight into Lee's psyche, cultural movements, Boston apartment hopping, and, of course, what you call a butt. Plus, Whitney's UK cover designer, Stuart Wilson.  -  Whitney Scharer: https://whitneyscharer.com/ THE AGE OF LIGHT: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780316524087 Whitney and James discuss:   Lee Miller  Man Ray  Peabody-Essex Museum  CAPE MAY by Chip Cheek  Jean Cocteau Janet Flanner  THE NEW YORKER  Ernest Hemingway  GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES by Anita Loos  David Bain  Margot Livesey  Pamela Painter  Emerson College  Richard Kenney  JUST KIDS by Patti Smith  CBGB's  Robert Mapplethorpe  - Stuart Wilson Stuart and James discuss:  Francesca Main  Whitney Scharer  Jeff Cottenden  Lee Miller  Pan 70th Anniversary Collection  Justine Anweiler  JAWS by Peter Benchley  BORN FREE by Joan Adamson  THE PROVINCIAL LADY by E.

Gold Digging Kweens Javi and Robert discuss the 1953 musical comedy from 20th Century Fox "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" starring the ultimate Movie Kween - Marilyn Monroe. With Jane Russell as the sassy brunette, Charles Coburn as Piggy, and George Winslow as Henry Spofford the third. Directed by Howard Hawks with a script by Anita Loos and Charles Lederer. Sail to Europe, France with the Kweens as they unpack this dazzling gem of a movie!

In a standout script from Anita Loos, Jean Harlow and Clark Gable play scam artists who fall in love and then separate when a plan goes sour. Loos shakes up the usual sexual competition between two women in film to create allies instead of rivals. Stay tuned at the end when I share choice excerpts from Today is Tonight, the novel Harlow wrote in 1933. It's smoking hot.

Anita Loos (1888-1981) är kvinnan skyldig till att ha myntat uttrycket diamanter är en kvinnas bästa vän. Det gjorde hon i boken Herrar föredrar blondiner, en roman som tolkats både på scen och film många gånger. Inför helgens Oscarsgala passar vi på att titta närmare på den fyndiga Anita Loos, som var en av Hollywoods kvinnliga pionjärer inom manusförfattande. Anita Loos var en Hollywoods flitigaste, mest framgångsrika och roligaste manusförfattare – och det redan under stumfilmseran. Hon kunde faktiskt skryta med att redan som 24-åring ha arbetat med den man som kom att revolutionera det nya mediet filmen – D W Griffith, vars epos En nations födelse från 1915 blev trendsättande för hur historier på film därefter kom att berättas. Hon kännetecknades inte bara av sina pigga ekorrliknande ögon, sin kortklippta tuffa flapperfrisyr eller sitt stora modeintresse, som fick henne att bära dyrbar design av dåtidens storheter som Chanel och Mainbocher. Hon hade framför allt ett sällsynt sinne för tillvarons absurditeter, inte minst när det gällde förhållandet mellan kvinnor och män. Hon kunde för sitt liv inte ta drömmen om romantisk kärlek på allvar och sade sig tidigt ha insett att sex, det var ”ett stort kosmiskt skämt”. De flesta män som intresserade sig för henne tråkade ut henne, ”till tårar”, som hon sade. Men hon hade ett gott öga till dem som hade självdistans. Hon var en mästare på rappa dialoger och än idag är filmen The Women från 1939 (baserad på en roman av Clare Booth Luce) som hon skrev filmmanuset till kul att se, och höra. Till och med mycket roligare än den nya versionen med bland annat Meg Ryan, från 2008 I veckans program berättar vi mer om Anita Loos, och historien om Herrar föredrar blondiner, omden blonda, blåsta och amoraliska Lorelei Lee.En bok som faktiskt började som följetong i amerikanska modetidningen Harper's Bazaar (1925) innan den tog världen med storm. Till och med en tungviktare som författaren James Joyce var ett fan. Den trycktes i hundratusentals exemplar, översattes till 14 språk och gav upphov till flera pjäser och filmer, varav den med Marilyn Monroe och Jane Russell från 1953 är den mest berömda, idag. Nu i maj sätts pjäsen upp igen, i New York. I programmet tar vi även upp den ofrivilliga humorn som kan dyka i modevärlden. Bland annat har vi talat med Emi Gunér, som driver bloggen ”Letter from the end consumer” om den saken. Vi har också mött Marlene Abraham, designern bakom det nya (det startade 2010) svenska märket Mayla som satsar på elegant stil. Dessutom har vi mött författaren Josefine Adolfsson. Tillsammans med regissören Lisa Aschan, skrev hon manus till den uppmärksammade svenska filmen Apflickorna. Den fick fina recensioner, vann priser på internationella filmfestivaler och på Guldbaggegalan för några veckor sedan, kammade filmen hem tre utmärkelser, bland annat för bästa manus. Med henne har vi talat om vad en liten leopardbikini egentligen kan laddas med. Veckans gäst är Johan Andreasson, illustratör och filmentusiast.
