In 1985, Gary Leach sat down with Jeremy Brett for an impromptu interview on the Baker Street set. What followed was an insightful conversation on wide-ranging topics including the actor's background and training, performance style, thoughts on playing the Great Detective, and his hopes and dreams for the future. A sincere thanks to Gary for sharing this previously unreleased treasure with us and our listeners. Gary was also the original designer of the Secret of Sherlock Holmes tee-shirts which were only available at the Wyndham's Theater from 1988 to 1989 - but in collaboration with our podcast, these shirts have received a new run and are currently available exclusively at our website, while supplies last.

Can David Graham, a torpedo engineer vital to the war effort, escape from German spies? Can Falk protect him? Is that supposed to be a Greek accent? Listen to find out!Journey Into Fiasco, episode 120 of This Gun in My Hand, was driven and engineered by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog.

What makes torpedoes move faster? This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. This episode was inspired by “Journey Into Fear,” an episode of The US Steel Hour of Mystery starring Lawrence Olivier and broadcast on June 9, 1946, which was adapted from the 1940 novel by Eric Ambler.https://www.oldtimeradiodownloads.com/thriller/the-hour-of-mystery/journey-into-fear-1946-06-092. No, it's not my impression of a Greek accent. The lines from Mithrodopolis in this episode are my impression of the guy from that 1946 broadcast of Journey Into Fear, doing an unidentifiable accent that's all over the place. I actually tried to sound like David Lander's character from On the Air, a 1992 David Lynch tv comedy that only aired 3 episodes in the US.3. “Mon petit chou” was an expression I heard not in high school French class, but from my mother. She had learned it from her father who landed at Normandy three to six days after D-Day. He drove a refrigerated supply truck. I wonder in what context he learned “mon petit chou” from the locals?Credits:The opening and middle transitional music clips were from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Other music comes from “Journey Into Fear,” the June 9, 1946 episode of the public domain radio show Hour of Mystery. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.Sound Effect Title: chugging diesel (bus) and rev.MP3License: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/CraftyIndividual/sounds/418436/Sound Effect Title: bus coach ext pull up brake air release idle.wavLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/kyles/sounds/454420/Sound Effect Title: Bus Closing DoorLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/am7/sounds/520753/Sound Effect Title: bustle in the pubLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/organicmanpl/sounds/403285/Sound Effect Title: Footsteps Dress Shoes Wood Floor.wavLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/allrealsound/sounds/161756/Sound Effect Title: Slam door.MP3License: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/SoundsForHim/sounds/395653/Sound Effect Title: S16-06 Light wooden door open & close.wavLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/craigsmith/sounds/675878/Sound Effect Title: Shotgun Reload PumpRecorded by RA The Sun GodLicense: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0http://soundbible.com/1959-Shotgun-Reload-Pump.htmlSound Effect Title: 1911 Pistol CockingLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/J.Anthracite/sounds/465488/Sound Effect Title: Glock 19 Handgun Pistol Slide Cocking SoundsLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/jackmurrayofficial/sounds/393734/Sound Effect Title: AR15 M4 Gun Hardware Magazine Movement SoundsLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/jackmurrayofficial/sounds/393732/Sound Effect Title: Gun Cocking Sound.mp3 License: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/s/545958/ Sound Effect Title: Pump Action Shotgun Cycle License: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/s/370344/The image accompanying this episode is a modified detail of a panel from the public domain Greyhound promotional comic book Driving Like a Pro (1958), artist unknown.https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/preview/index.php?did=31501

Clash of the Titans continues Nerd Legion's 1980s fantasy marathon, taking us into Greek mythology (kind of) with Perseus' battles against Medusa and the Kraken. While straying very far from its source material, the film gave us Ray Harryhausen's last crack at stop-motion and effects wizardry as a capstone to a multi-decade career in Hollywood. Maggie Smith and Lawrence Olivier also add some dramatic weight as Greek gods to counter-balance the action sequences of Harry Hamlin's Perseus. A little bit silly, but still compelling, Clash of the Titans remains a fantasy classic and a must-watch for fans of the genre. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Academy Award Winner for Best Picture in 1940, Rebecca from United Artists, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and starring Lawrence Olivier and Joan Fontaine.
Imagine being a multi-talented artist, a composer who has crafted scores for TV and iconic films like Jeremiah Johnson and The Candidate. Now, imagine you're also an acclaimed actor, having graced countless movies and winning a Tony Award for Children of a Lesser God Picture collaborating with legendary directors such as Bob Fosse, Mike Nichols, and Stephen Sondheim. Oh, and did I mention your father was the renowned pianist Artur Rubinstein? Growing up, you played for distinguished guests like Stravinsky, Milhaud, and Lawrence Olivier. With that incredible background, you can only imagine how thrilling it was for me to chat with the extraordinary John Rubenstein!In Part 1, we delve into John's fascinating childhood and his initial steps into the world of composing. He began by writing for school projects and eventually transitioned into film scoring. John shares how the movie Chinatown influenced him and his special connection with trumpeter Uan Rasey, whose haunting solos left a lasting impact. We also explore the art of writing scores in Hollywood, discussing the nuances between composing for TV series and films. Then, we shift to John's acting career, highlighting his lead role in Pippin under the direction of the legendary Bob Fosse. We wrap up this segment by discussing the challenges of dealing with nerves and taking auditions.In Part 2, we take a detour to discuss a memorable evening when John starred in Children of a Lesser God at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, while his father performed at the Music Center. John reminisces about playing for George Szell and shares insights into his father's experience recording with Fritz Reiner. We conclude with a wide-ranging conversation covering John's favorite books and composers.Would you like more inspirational stories, suggestions, insights, and a place to continue the conversations with other listeners?

Resetear una vida más allá de la cincuentena es una oferta suculenta, disponer de una segunda oportunidad. Para un tipo reservado y hastiado de una vida monótona, trabaja en un banco, casado con una mujer con la que ya solo conversa y acompaña en las comidas. El señor Hamilton -John Randolph- acudirá a la cita, caerá en las fauces de la corporación, no puede evitar volver a leer el trozo de papel que le han entregado, la dirección, la llamada nocturna de un amigo de la universidad que creía muerto… La puesta en escena hipnótica y kafkiana, la asombrosa factura técnica del maestro James Wong Howe. En la secuencia inicial la cámara sujeta al pecho del actor con arneses, vemos media cara y caminamos tras el infausto ciudadano, el uso del ojo de pez, los ángulos inclinados, la profundidad de campo, la lente distorsiona las paredes, los techos, y nos engulle una sensación plomiza y febril. Un hombre solo entra en una tintorería con dos personajes insólitos que no responden a sus preguntas, y un posterior matadero, metáfora de donde se está metiendo. Un mundo de renacidos. Al señor mediocre se le garantiza un nuevo perfil, una vida intensa, y un rostro como el de Rock Hudson, ¿qué más se puede pedir? Y, sin embargo, no funciona la quimera, es imposible olvidar los recuerdos, renunciar a la identidad de uno mismo, que, aunque se sintiera bastante infeliz, al fin y al cabo llevaba una vida sin sobresaltos, veraneaba con su mujer y su canoa, veía a su hija de vez en cuando, todo eso quedo en nada. En uno de los encadenados momentos siniestros del film, el anciano directivo de la empresa -Will Geer - espeta al señor indeciso: “Su vida anterior no era nada”. Un pintor atractivo que acude a fiestas y vive en una casa junto a las playas de Malibú. ¿Hasta qué punto el cambio radical de aspecto puede borrar el pasado, los recuerdos, la esencia del mismo ser? Frankenheimer en un principio quería a Kirk Douglas, después a Lawrence Olivier, desdoblándose en el papel del protagonista, finalmente aceptó la idea de que fueran dos actores diferentes para cada etapa, dos trabajos excelentes lo de ambos, John Randolph y Rock Hudson. En una de las escenas claves del film el hombre con el rostro transformado por la cirugía irá a visitar a su esposa, allí contemplará su vida incompleta, su destino enterrado para siempre. Esta noche soñamos con una llamada que nunca llega en la sala de espera… Zacarías Cotán, Salvador Limón y Raúl Gallego

Unanimamente considerato il più grande attore della sua generazione e anche uno dei più grandi di sempre, erede dei Lawrence Olivier e dei Marlon Brando, ha fatto della tecnica di immedesimazione dell'Actor's studio la sublimazione della sua arte e anche uno strumento di salvezza personale dopo un'infanzia non semplice. Un sodalizio strepitoso con martin Scorsese e due Oscar che potevano essere molti di più.
In September of 1952, Orson Welles worked with the BBC for a portrait of early American director Robert Flaherty. Flaherty, who directed the first docu-drama film, Nanook of the North in 1922, had passed away the previous July. As Welles just mentioned, when he got to Hollywood in the late 1930s, he was fascinated by the early film people, and they were more than happy to share their stories with the then-Boy Wonder. In April of 1953 the BBC hired Welles to read one hour of poetry from Walt Whitman's “Song of Myself.” The next month the Italian comedy Man, Beast and Virtue debuted, in which Welles co-starred. From September 7th into October, Welles was involved with Ballet de Paris at the Stoll Theatre in London for a production of The Lady in the Ice. In October the production moved to Paris. Welles directed, wrote the libretto and was the ballet's costume and set designer. He later told Peter Bogdonovich, “It was very successful in London, and only moderately so in Paris, where it was very badly lit — as everything always is in Paris. The plot is: a girl's been found, like dinosaurs have been found, in a block of ice. And she's on display in a sort of carnival. A young man falls in love with her, and his love melts the ice. And when she kisses him, he turns to ice. A little parable for our times.” It would be the only ballet Orson Welles' ever directed. In late September of 1953 Broadcasting Magazine reported that Harry Alan Towers had sold shows to both ABC and NBC for the fall. ABC would welcome Horatio Hornblower back for a second season, starring Michael Redgrave. Meanwhile on NBC, a new half-hour anthology program starring Sir Lawrence Olivier called Theatre Royal would take to the air. The program debuted on October 4th, 1953 with Orson Welles starring in an adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's “The Queen of Spades.” Pushkin wrote “The Queen of Spades” in the fall of 1833. It's a short story about how human greed can lead to madness. Theatre Royal was developed to capitalize on Lawrence Olivier's name. At the time the program launched, Olivier and then-wife Vivian Leigh were getting set to appear in Terence Rattigan's comedy, The Sleeping Prince in the West End. The play would run for eight months. It made Olivier temporarily unable to star in his own program. Many fine actors of the British stage and screen were involved in individual episodes of Theatre Royal, like Robert Morley, Harry Andrews, Muriel Forbes, and Daphne Maddox. The music was credited to Sidney Torch. Once Sir Lawrence Olivier could no longer appear, Sir Ralph Richardson took over as host of Theatre Royal. Selected episodes were repeated, with a different series opening and closing on ABC Mystery Time in the late 1950s. The show remained in active syndication in the U.S. into the 1970s. Welles briefly returned to America to make his first appearance on TV, starring in the Omnibus presentation of King Lear, broadcast live on CBS on October 18th, 1953. It was directed by Peter Brook, and co-starred Natasha Parry, Beatrice Straight and Arnold Moss.
In 1947, wanting to bring Macbeth to film, Welles teamed with producer Charles K. Feldman to convince Herbert Yates, President of Republic Pictures, to finance. Welles guaranteed to deliver Macbeth on a budget of seven-hundred thousand dollars. When some members of Republic's board expressed misgivings on the project, Welles agreed to personally pay any amount over the initial ask. He brought in Irish actor Dan O'Herlihy as Macduff, and cast former child star Roddy McDowall as Malcolm. To cast Lady Macbeth, Welles visited longtime friend and radio legend Jeanette Nolan. The two had known each other since the 1930s in New York. Nolan and her husband, fellow actor John McIntire, were excited to work with Orson. Welles made several changes to Shakespeare's original, like adding significance to the witches. They were played by two other Hollywood radio legends: Peggy Webber, and Lurene Tuttle. Welles expressed frustrations with wardrobes and the tight schedule. He had the cast pre-record all their dialogue. Locations were leftover sets from westerns normally made at Republic. The entire production was done in twenty-three days in July of 1947. In September, Welles signed on to star in Gregory Ratoff's Black Magic. Shooting would take place in Rome. He wouldn't return until 1948. Republic initially trumpeted the film as an important work, entering it in the 1948 Venice Film Festival. It was abruptly withdrawn after poor comparisons with Lawrence Olivier's version of Hamlet, also being screened. LIFE Magazine gave the film a terrible review in October of 1948, saying that Welles' days as the “boy wonder” were long over. When he returned from Europe in the Spring, Welles cut twenty minutes from the film at Republic's request and recorded narration to cover some gaps. But when finally released, it too was called a disaster. In July of 1948 Welles signed on to co-star with Tyrone Power in the Italian film, Prince of Foxes. The film would be released in December of 1949. Welles' last appearance in the 1940s on American radio was in a pre-recorded segment on Mail Call over the Armed Forces Radio Service, on October 13th, 1948. Now thirty-three years old, Orson Welles had enough of Hollywood. He was in deep debt and needed to move to Europe, full-time. His first main stop would be in Vienna, to star with Joseph Cotton in a new film called The Third Man.

This week we cover maybe the nuttiest version of Pride and Prejudice, the 1940 movie adaptation, starring Greer Garson and Lawrence Olivier.

Today, I am so happy to annnounce my interview with veteran actor Simon Jones, star of The Real Thing, Trouble in Mind, Waiting in the Wings, The Gilded Age, and so many more shows. Tune in today to hear some of the stories of his long career, including: a murderous slip-of-the-tongue by Angela Lansbury, the role that Lauren Bacall refused to play correctly, an ungracious invite from Joan Collins, his family connection to Daniel Craig, the rivalry between Rex Harrison and Claudette Colbert, how he knocked his teeth out during My Fair Lady, an alcoholic backstage ritual during Farinelli and the King, the young actor that Lawrence Olivier wanted to punch, the oddness of rehearsing with Nicol Williamson, a cryptic answer from Tom Stoppard, running the theater company TACT, the many reunions involved in The Gilded Age, his strange experience with Covid, and so much more. You won't want to miss this episode with a delightfully funny gentleman of the theater.

In this episode of Breaking Goodman we are discussing season 6 episode 8 titled “Point and Shoot.” We’re back after a short break, but as we discuss that break really cut the tension between episodes. Still a great episode with some surprises and fantastic performances from the entire cast. We’re now on the express train […] The post S06E08: Meryl Streep and Lawrence Olivier appeared first on Crossroads Comedy Theater.
Synopsis On today's date in 1953, thousands crowded the route to and from London's Westminster Abbey for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and, at the Queen's own request, the event was televised live by the BBC. British composer William Walton was asked to write two new pieces. The first Walton's “Coronation Te Deum”, a work that he had begun almost a decade earlier for a quite different occasion, namely the opening night of the 1944 London Proms. The piece got shifted to a back-burner when Walton was asked to work on Lawrence Olivier's wartime film of Shakespeare's “Henry V.” For the new Queen's Coronation, Walton returned to his abandoned score, writing to friends, “I've got cracking on the Te Deum. Lots of counter-tenors and little boys Holy-holy-ing, not to mention all the Queen's Trumpeters and a side drum. You will like it, I think, and I hope He will too.” “He” was capitalized, so presumably Walton was referring to either the Deity -- or Winston Churchill, perhaps. Walton was also asked to compose a “Coronation March,” which he entitled “Orb and Scepter” after a line, coincidentally, from Shakespeare's “Henry V.” Walton's March may have seemed a bit jazzy to the more conservative audiences of the day, but one critic, slipping into Cockney slang, gushed, “It sounds like a right royal knees-up!” Music Played in Today's Program William Walton (1902 - 1983) – Coronation Te Deum (Andrew Lumsden, organ; Finzi Singers; Paul Spicer, cond.)

POP ART, WHERE I FIND THE POP CULTURE IN ART AND THE ART IN POP CULTURE. Join me and podcaster, blogger and film enthusiast Richard Kirkham as we discuss Bull Durham and This Sporting Life, two films about athletes in existential crises. I know what you're thinking. What happened to Episode 77. Well, we recorded that episode on 2001 and Solaris twice, but Skype failed to download it. But everything seems fine now and we should be doing that episode in the near future. For some illogical reason, I decided to keep it Episode 77. Don't ask me. IT TAKES A LOT OF BALLS: I believe in the Church of Baseball. It's spring when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of…sports; or sport for our English listeners. Yes, sounds like it's time for Episode 78 of Pop Art, where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture. It's the podcast where my guest chooses a movie from popular culture, and I'll select a film from the more art/classic/indie side of cinema with a connection to it. This time round, I am happy to welcome back, for the fourth time, Richard Kirkham, who has chosen as his film the Ron Shelton low key classic Bull Durham, while I have chosen the Lindsay Anderson's angry young man, kitchen sink drama This Sporting Life, both films about athletes going through an existential crisis. And in this episode we answer such questions as: What is it about sports films? What does it mean to win by losing? What do the writers of both films have in common? What happened during the Broadway production of David Storey's The Changing Room that didn't shock little old ladies? Where did the names come from? If a baseball player hits the bull do they really get a free steak dinner? How does Ron Shelton resemble his Bull Durham hero? How does Lawrence Olivier fit in? Who did the producers of Bull Durham want for Tim Robbin's role first and how did Ron Shelton react? Why were young men angry in Britain?

In this episode, Susan introduces Greg to "Rebecca," the 1940's romantic thriller based on the novel by Daphne de Maunier. The film is significant is it is the first film produced by David O'Selznick after "Gone with the Wind" and is the first American film directed by Alfred Hitchock and is his only Best Picture win. Starring Joan Fontaine, Lawrence Olivier, Judith Anderson, and George Sanders, the film tells the story of a naive young bride living in the shadow of her husband's late wife. Greg and Susan discuss the plot points, the performances of Foutaine and Olivier, and the long list of actresses who were under consideration for the leading role. The two also trade bits of trivia about the conflict between Selznick and Hitchcock, the tension between Olivier and Fontaine, and a long list of movie tricks and unique bits of direction that gave the movie its eerie atmosphere. As always, Susan and Greg share their top three favorite moments and volley back and forth over a few queries for "I Have Questions."

Shantaram with Jake Johannsen "I would never commit a felony, I am strictly a misdemeanor guy." Jake Johannsen comes to the Rhodes library to talk about his favorite book 'Shantaram' by Gregory David Roberts. In this conversation we talk about people losing the sparkle in their eyes in Hollywood, how Kurt Vonnegut will improve your life and how Kurt Vonnegut is to Jake what James Brown is to me. I teach Jake the 8 words of Spanish that saved me from getting ripped off by cops and I tell him about the one and only time I have ever been in jail which was when I was 19 years old in Little Rock, Arkansas. That weekend I spent in jail at 19 was very influential in my life because I would never commit a felony, I am strictly a misdemeanor guy. In this episode we weigh the benefits of martial arts versus carrying mace and how in life, just like when you are dealing with a heckler, using kindness and charm is always the best course of action.We talk about how instagram is better than twitter because no one is going to get pissed off at a sunset, historical obsessions and how Clark from Lewis and Clark was a turd who died in obscurity. Arctic sea voyage disasters where heroic dogs were eaten, Captain Cook's murder by Hawaiian natives happened because he couldn't swim and why you should avoid durian because it tastes like ass pudding. Try everything once except incest and folk dancing. A man is not a man until he has earned the love of a woman, earned her trust and keep it. The beautiful way Ashna and I ended our marriage by ending it in love just the way we started it. I can never not love Ashna. I never want to not know her. I would never be mean to her and I would help her succeed any way I can. Like we examine in the book Shantaram, you can't kill love. You only live once and when you are dead you are done so let the good times roll. Connect with people, let go of your anger. Change your thoughts and change your life with simple acts of love. This conversation is the last time two older white guys did something important in Hollywood. Tell each other jokes! Collect street jokes or write your own, always make sure you always carry at least one joke that will make a little kid laugh, but no matter what never heckle Lawrence Olivier. Long may you run and long may you pee! Shalom amigos y amigas and long may you fill your beings with knowledge, wisdom and love! Be less of an asshole this decade! Hooray for humanity! patreon.com/tomrhodesradiosmartcamp

It is not often you get the opportunity to interview someone who has been described as ‘one of the greatest performers Britain has produced’ !So as you might imagine I am incredibly excited to be talking to actor, singer and comedian Michael Crawford for this special 2 part Xmas episode of Turning the TableMichaels career spans over 50 years across TV, film and Stage on Broadway and the west end of London.

"Rebecca" starring Joan Fontaine, Lawrence Olivier, Judith Anderson and Reginald Denny. Fontaine stars as the young Mrs. De Winter who marries a widower, unwittingly ensnaring herself in a web laid by his dead wife.Director: Alfred HitchcockCostume Designer: attributed to Irene LentzStudio: United ArtistsYear: 1940
WHO was Rebecca? WHAT was her deal? WHY is everyone so obsessed with her and her underwear? We watch the first mystery that is brand new to all of us, Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca (1940), and (wo)man, do we have some opinions. As modern “woke”* people, we give the main character an actual name and talk about feminism, lesbianism, and the control of women and power dynamics of 1940’s Hollywood. Maddy wants to become a dick-punching time traveler, Katy gives some very unresearched and ultimately incorrect facts about Hitchcock and lesbians, Carrie does some live book research, and Mack talks great mustaches. Listen carefully for terrible horse impressions and Maddy’s constant anger noises! Originally recorded July 2017. *We like to think we’re some level of “woke” but understand it’s a process and ultimately will make mistakes and hopefully learn and grow with each one TW: Cancer, suicide Correction Section: Katy would like everyone to know that she knows she said Lawrence Olivier was in Lawrence of Arabia but she was thinking of Spartacus and it was just the double “Lawrence” that made her brain go “......”. Also Hitchcock probably didn’t hate lesbians that way Katy insinuated; as stated in the episode she truly knows nothing really about him and was just making a generalized assumption based on Hollywood rules and the fact that she saw The Celluloid Closet one time

When Steve Sweeney was growing up in Boston, the last thing he expected to become was an entertainer. He rubbed elbows with career criminals in Charlestown but somehow wound up doing summertime productions of Shakespeare plays and seeing actors like Lawrence Olivier and Christopher Plummer. Acting then led to exposure to comedy, which later led to cocaine-induced psychosis, and eventually to working in jails and with at-risk youth. Steve talks with Marc about the journey to build his act and why he enjoys producing his own projects now, including his new movie Sweeney Killing Sweeney.

Filmen "Hamlet" fra 1948 er baseret på et skuespil af William Shakespeare. Den er instrueret af Laurence Olivier, som også spiller hovedrollen som Hamlet. "Hamlet" er et af Shakespeares mest populære skuespil og er blevet filmatiseret adskillige gange, men mange betragter Laurence Oliviers version som den bedste. Hamlet er prins af Danmark og bor på Kronborg. Hans far, kongen, er netop død, og faderens bror, Claudius, har giftet sig med hans mor og overtaget tronen. Men Hamlets far viser sig for ham som et spøgelse og fortæller, at han ikke døde af et slangebid, som man tror. Det var Claudius, der myrdede ham ved at hælde gift i øret på ham mens han sov, og han beder Hamlet om at hævne hans død. Men Hamlet kan ikke beslutte sig. Han elsker sin mor, og hun elsker Claudius. Skal han hævne sin far ved at dræbe Claudius?

Edición número 135 de La gran Evasión. Un estudiante de historia se prepara para la maratón de Nueva York, con un chándal desvaído y sus zapatillas de deporte hace el mismo recorrido diario por Central Park, Manhattan al fondo. A cada zancada rememora a su padre, una víctima de la caza de brujas. Correr hacia adelante, hacia la superación, enfrentar y conocer lo nuevo, enamorarse de una chica que cronometre sus carreras. Babe no sabe que ese fondo adquirido día tras día le ayudará a escapar de unos diamantes de procedencia infame, de correos secretos, agentes dobles, y la tortura más sádica que pudo imaginar. El relax tras el deporte en la bañera del apartamento, una toalla sobre la cara, y una chavala preciosa en el pensamiento. Antes de conocerla Babe sólo vivía para su maratón y su doctorado, no sospecha que en Uruguay se esconde un criminal de guerra nazi que sabe perforar los dientes hasta llegar al nervio, y ofrece aceite de clavo para aliviar el dolor ensordecedor. Dolor y alivio, alivio y dolor, en eso consiste todo. Babe vive solo, admira a Abebe Bikila, la imagen del sacrificio. Siempre fue diferente a su hermano mayor, un tipo de acción, un hombre de negocios, pieza de la corrupta guerra fría. La tensión aumenta como la codicia de un viejo enfermo con pasado atroz, que quiere saber si la mercancía está a salvo. A través de una gafas y unos ojos vidriosos, el pavor reconocido, el dentista del campo siempre trató las bocas de sus pacientes con delicadeza y esmero. Vuelve a brotar la sangre como antes. Perforar un incisivo no resulta difícil, no tanto como tragarse un puñado de diamantes. En los setenta, Schlesinger, uno de los representantes del Free Cinema británico, impresionó al respetable con esta adaptación de la novela de William Goldman. Un consagrado Dustin Hoffman y el magistral Lawrence Olivier enfrentan sus talentos en un thriller redondo, Roy Scheider también aporta fuerza a la trama, así como la suiza Marthe Keller, que no sabía una palabra de inglés y se aprendió de memoria la fonética de los diálogos. Raúl Gallego Este mes no pensamos ir al dentista aunque nos salga gratis... José Miguel Moreno presenta, con Gervi Navío, Elio Cubiles, Raúl Gallego, y nuestro crítico desde Madrid, César Bardés.
Al Pacino stinks up the entire production of a film with such little story that 88 minutes is just ridiculous fluff. With tons of bad hair, sexual assault, disappearing actors, quite dubious motivations, non-linear time, drunk actors, and questionable filler material. It's pretty bonkers. Lets start with Al Pacino. He stinks. I'm sorry world, Pacino stinks. He's great. We love him. He's hilarious. But he's not exactly Lawrence Olivier. And this film is a highlight of how bad he is. His hair is outlandish. His skin changes shades of orange and he's just as confused with the film as we are. Great fun, great fun. Except for Alicia Witt, she gets sexually assaulted maybe more than any actress ever by an A-Lister.... Then there's the surrounding players. The world won't be too surprised but Leelee Sobieski stinks. She's always stinky though. Seriously, name a good movie she's ever been in. She's a pariah on film. Fantastic crappy performance here. There's a dean who is quite drunk. Billy Forsythe is exactly what you expect from him. All makes for fun. The plot is so bland but is barely noticeable because its surrounded by sequence after sequence of banana business. Take for instance, Campus Security. At one point, Al Pacino and Alicia Witt go to Campus Security...whose office rivals Quantico. I believe Dexter interned there. Fox Mulder has an office in the basement. At no time in the history of the world has Campus Security ever looked like this. While its no Dreamcatcher or The Wicker Man, it is a great ride through terrible acting and bad directorial decisions. It's just a little weak on plot, whether good or bad plot, it doesn't have enough of either. Still....great watch.
