All The King's Men is a political movie, so Ryan decided to get very political in this one-man show. In fact, warning: don't listen to the 650th edition of Have You Ever Seen if you're a Trump supporter...because he gets lambasted. As for the movie in question, it's a good one. A man who saw into the future, Robert Rossen, writes and directs a film that's effective at showing a cruel and corrupt governor does business...and how that's connected to the wanton acts of the cruel and corrupt current president. Broderick Crawford plays Huey Long-esque Willie Stark, who's a performer first and foremost, then proves to be a gigantic phony. Rossen's film is complicated though because the man who takes dirty money uses it to build things the state needs. So strap in tight for an episode all about All The King's Men, but also often about the certain loathsome individual who must have seen this and taken notes. Well, Actually: the Danny DeVito line in Heist is "everybody needs money", not "everybody loves money". Also, it's true that seatbelts weren't made mandatory in cars for another few decades after when this film is set.

Note: At the end of the episode, Wiz states the next review will be All The King's Men directed by Robert Rossen. Unfortunately, Wiz has a cold and will not be recording an episode with Zero this week. So, next week, Zero and Wiz will review The Manchurian Candidate directed by John Frankenheimer. Sorry about that. Wiz DOES NOT RECOMMEND Thirteen Days Historical films can be a pretty thorny premise to get right. Either you can evoke the feeling of a person or time in history or emulate it so damn well it feels like you are in the room with them. Thirteen Days, Roger Donaldson's retelling of the Cuban Missile Crisis, is a film that I'm not sure what it's trying to do. If it's trying to be an emulation of the time and the people involved, there are a few things that the film fumbled on. Let's start with the main characters: Bobby Kennedy, played by Steven Culp, is probably the best of the three who looks and sounds the part well enough, but he does slip in specific scenes. John F. Kennedy, played by Bruce Greenwood, looks the most like his real counterpart, but sounds nothing like him except when he's upset. Kenneth O'Donnell, played by Kevin Costner, is the worst of the three…and of course he is the one you see the most. Not only does Costner not even look like him, he also doesn't sound like him. In fact, Costner has one of the worst New England accents I've heard in a film. If you were going the route of feeling like you are in the room with these titans of history, the illusion is pretty much shattered when you can look on screen and you have to remind yourself who these guys are supposed to play. Now, if the film is trying to evoke a feeling of a person or place in time, the film takes a few stylistic choices that don't work the way that the film intends: The film has scenes that utilize archival footage from the times. It's effective at first, but then the film randomly implements it with no precise reason. There are scenes that are archival, but there are also that have actors playing the scene and neither seem to be of any importance. Another thing that doesn't have a good reason to be there is the transition to black and white. There are scenes that randomly start in black and white then transition to color…and the reason Roger Donaldson gives is he wanted to create a historical feeling akin to photos from Life Magazine. This fails since it feels randomly placed. These issues are further compounded by the slow, drawn out nature of the film. A slower pace could help with creating tension or developing characters to become more engrossed in the film…but the film does neither. The first hour goes on for way too long being hung up on details that could have been cut for brevity or pace. The film does pick up towards the second half, but the need to hasten the film is still desired. In honesty, Thirteen Days is also kind of a throwback for historical epics as well. The film is a clear good guy/bad guy dynamic with a political thriller feel…and as such the moral grays that you may be used to now is not present. But if you look at what I'm saying and say “actually I kind of miss movies like this”, then you should give the film a try. But Thirteen Days, as accurate as it may be, is a film that could have actually benefited from some creative licensing.

The Wiz RECOMMENDS The Hustler I have a confession to make: the only reason I decided to watch this film was because I really wanted to see The Color of Money...which is a sequel to The Hustler. If it wasn't for that connection, I'd likely would have not watched the film. And honestly, that would be a shame: when watching the film, it's easy to see why Scorsese was so attracted to make a sequel to this story. The Hustler is actually a great movie in terms of aesthetics: the cinematography does an excellent job of creating scenes that give the feeling of being in places where desperation is palpable and everything feels seedy and in places trouble would be lurking. What is also a big plus is the excellent score: the slow jazzy tunes that accompany the story is excellent when paired to the visuals. However, this film seems to rely on it's performances to carry the story along. When The Hustler is about "Fast" Eddie and wanting to be the best pool hustler, the film does a great job with the story. But that's really half the film. The other half is a romance between Piper Laurie's Sarah and Paul Newman's "Fast" Eddie. And while both performances are good, the romance is definitely the weakest link of the film. If there is one performance that is the best, however, it's George C. Scott as the scummy business man who ensnares "Fast" Eddie. He plays a heartless asshole businessman so damn well in this movie and he owns the screen when he's on. The Hustler is definitely a good movie in terms of aesthetics and the performances are pretty damn good as well...but the romance does hamper the film a bit since it takes over the more interesting story of "Fast" Eddie trying to be the best.

Cʹest un jeu qui se joue en salle, avec des billes, des queues, des tapis verts. Un jeu à lʹiconographie patente, imprimée sur nos rétines depuis lʹavènement du film de Martin Scorcese, La couleur de lʹargent, The Color of Money, sorti en 1986. Un film événement qui lance, en Europe et dans le monde, la mode du billard américain, voyant ouvrir dans son sillage de nombreux clubs et de nombreuses salles. Mais ça, cʹest de lʹhistoire sociale. Quant à lʹhistoire du film, Martin Scorcese reprend, sous un autre angle, le personnage de Paul Newman, Fast Eddie, héros de lʹArnaqueur de 1961 de Robert Rossen. 25 ans plus tard, cʹest la suite de la vie de Fast Eddie Felson qui intéresse Scorcese. Le réalisateur joue sur les relations dʹun arnaqueur déclinant qui devient mentor dʹun jeune prometteur joué par Tom Cruise. Cʹest un film sur un rapport de force, puis sur un passage de témoin, qui nʹest pas la suite littérale de lʹArnaqueur. Il y a de lʹamour, il y a de la haine, il y a du jeu, il y a de lʹarnaque. Paul Newman, 60 ans, fait un come-back spectaculaire face à Tom Cruise auréolé du succès de Tom Gun. Il y gagne même lʹoscar du meilleur acteur. Un troisième personnage, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, donne un contrepoint salutaire, une distance à ce duo dʹhommes pris dans leurs jeux de la vie et du hasard. Martin Scorcese filme au plus près des tables de billard, au plus près des bouteilles de bourbon. Les images sont presque tactiles. La couleur de lʹargent est maîtrisé de bout en bout par Scorcese, qui est comme un joueur de billard devant ses billes. Le film est un succès au box-office et permet au réalisateur de se lancer à corps perdu dans le projet de sa vie : La dernière tentation du Christ.

Join hosts Jason, Anthony, and Tim as they discuss Robert Rossen's Body and Soul, a 1947 boxing film that critic Thom Andersen categorizes as film gris, or socially conscious crime cinema during the film noir years (1940s through the 1950s). Rossen testified at a HUAC hearing in 1951, pleaded the Fifth Amendment, and was blacklisted. Two years later, he testified again and this time he named 57 names and was given his career back in Hollywood. Rossen went on to direct several more features, including the celebrated pool epic The Hustler (1961) and Lilith (1964), starring Warren Beatty and Jean Seberg. We hope you enjoy!

We dig into the social context of these films, asking why these progressive writers and directors wanted to tell these stories at this moment, and how their political sympathies shaped the stories. We also talk about the persona emerging from Lilli Palmer's wartime British and American films, and her character in Body and Soul as representing the filmmakers' perspective on John Garfield's protagonist.

John Garfield didn't even live to see 40, but he DID make several good films in the '40s. In Body And Soul, he's a decent guy who finds himself in a love triangle and makes many bad career decisions. It's the age-old story of a boxer who gets mixed up with the wrong people. Robert Rossen's acclaimed picture isn't remarkably original, but it's a well-made film. The man who directed The Hustler knew what he was doing when it came to putting sports on the silver screen. Ryan's monologue also gets into Rossen's ties to Communism and how he named names to HUAC. Body And Soul's cast and production team had a whole whack of people who leaned red, in fact. So grow a conscience as you fight for your life in this brief 527th one-man podcast.

Cʹest un jeu qui se joue en salle, avec des billes, des queues, des tapis verts. Un jeu à lʹiconographie patente, imprimée sur nos rétines depuis lʹavènement du film de Martin Scorcese, La couleur de lʹargent, The Color of Money, sorti en 1986. Un film événement qui lance, en Europe et dans le monde, la mode du billard américain, voyant ouvrir dans son sillage de nombreux clubs et de nombreuses salles. Mais ça, cʹest de lʹhistoire sociale. Quant à lʹhistoire du film, Martin Scorcese reprend, sous un autre angle, le personnage de Paul Newman, Fast Eddie, héros de lʹArnaqueur de 1961 de Robert Rossen. 25 ans plus tard, cʹest la suite de la vie de Fast Eddie Felson qui intéresse Scorcese. Le réalisateur joue sur les relations dʹun arnaqueur déclinant qui devient mentor dʹun jeune prometteur joué par Tom Cruise. Cʹest un film sur un rapport de force, puis sur un passage de témoin, qui nʹest pas la suite littérale de lʹArnaqueur. Il y a de lʹamour, il y a de la haine, il y a du jeu, il y a de lʹarnaque. Paul Newman, 60 ans, fait un come-back spectaculaire face à Tom Cruise auréolé du succès de Tom Gun. Il y gagne même lʹoscar du meilleur acteur. Un troisième personnage, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, donne un contrepoint salutaire, une distance à ce duo dʹhommes pris dans leurs jeux de la vie et du hasard. Martin Scorcese filme au plus près des tables de billard, au plus près des bouteilles de bourbon. Les images sont presque tactiles. La couleur de lʹargent est maîtrisé de bout en bout par Scorcese, qui est comme un joueur de billard devant ses billes. Le film est un succès au box-office et permet au réalisateur de se lancer à corps perdu dans le projet de sa vie : La dernière tentation du Christ.

Un nuevo asalto de la Gran Evasion, Los violentos años 20, The Roaring Twenties (1939). Una obra imprescindible de un director imprescindible, Raoul Walsh, uno de los grandes tuertos del cine, paradójicamente, sus miradas son las más profundas… Los Violentos años Veinte relata y retrata las vicisitudes de la primera mitad del siglo 20, con la prosa de Mark Hellinger, y las colaboraciones extraordinarias de Robert Rossen, Jerry Wald y Richard Macaulay, en el guión. Una historia, a la medida de la fuerza interpretativa del animal de la pantalla, que era James Cagney, dando vida aquí a Eddie Barlett; secundado por el Bogart mas oscuro, George Hally; El contrapunto femenino es simplemente magistral, la belleza y la inocencia de Priscilla Lane, Jean Sherman; y el cinismo gastado de Gladys George en la piel de la inolvidable Panamá Smith. Simples supervivientes, en una jungla de asfalto que huele a humo, a desesperación y a licor. Walsh fue alumno aventajado de David Wark Griffith, su talento es legendario, el cine de aventuras lleva su firma, es uno de los verdaderamente grandes de la Narrativa Americana, con obras maestras en absolutamente todos los géneros. Uno de esos pioneros que cincelaron el lenguaje cinematográfico. Esta historia nos pasea por el amor a destiempo, por la amistad, y el deseo, por la avaricia y la maldad, por la corrupción moral y la supervivencia…por gánsteres, que en el fondo, solo desean lo que cualquier tipo: Amar y ser Amado. Un tratado sobre la amistad y la lealtad, con ritmo y fuerza a raudales. Por momentos se convierte en un musical, en otros, es un melodrama, todo envuelto en cine de gánsteres; otras veces, se transforma en un documental, para mostrarnos la gran depresión, ese sueño americano manchado de sangre y alcohol, destilado en una sucia bañera... Unos soldados que regresaron de una guerra y se encontraron con otro conflicto, con una tierra yerma y salvaje; héroes que pasaron a ser otro lobo mas en la jauría, en la lucha entre hermanos, por un trozo de pan. Esta noche tenemos a Raoul Walsh, un maestro capaz de captar la complejidad de la vida a través de la sencillez de la puesta en escena. La horma perfecta para la presencia descomunal de James Cagney. Nos tomamos otra copa en el tugurio del cine: Zacarías Cotán, Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío y Salvador Limón, mientras, Eddie Barlett huye hacia su destino redentor, cegado de amor, cogido de la mano de su inseparable Panamá Smith.

De Martin Scorsese todo el mundo habla de sus clásicos más violentos pero 'La Edad de la Inocencia' y 'Silencio' siguen su misma estela y son películas que deben compartir el podio. Lo mismo ocurre con Francis Ford Coppola y su 'Dracula de Bram Stoker', una de las mejores de su filmografía.

“ Estoy dispuesta a contestar ante los representantes de nuestro gobierno todas las preguntas que deseen plantearme sobre mis opiniones y actividades personales, pero ni ahora ni nunca me prestaré a causar problemas a personas que cuando se relacionaron conmigo en el pasado eran completamente inocentes de toda expresión o acto desleal o subversivo. Hacerle daño a gente inocente que conocí hace muchos años para salvarme yo misma es, en mi opinión, un acto inhumano, indecente y deshonroso. No he de recortar mi inocencia para estar a la moda de este año”. Fragmento de la carta enviada al presidente del Comité de Actividades Antinorteamericanas. Lillian Hellman, 1.951. Quizá la verdadera obra maestra de gran dramaturga y memorialista Lillian Hellman (EEUU 1.905-1.984), fue su conducta. La postura asumida en los años cincuenta por la autora constituye un paradigma de entereza cívica que, trasplantado al presente, supone por lo menos un elemento de preocupación moral y duda razonable. Ante la furia inquisitorial del senador Joseph McCarthy – con su extraña amalgama de oportunismo y anticomunismo, de puritanismo y xenofobia; con su congénita animadversión hacia todo cuanto oliese a cultura , y también frente a la astucia y el juego tramposo de un Richard Nixon que ya empezaba su irresistible ascensión, fueron muchos los actores, directores, guionistas, escritores, periodistas, coreógrafos, etc. que se convirtieron en delatores. Hubo un momento en que la histeria soplona llegó a un grado tal que los colaboracionistas hacían colas para proporcionar listas de nombres ante la Comisión de Actividades Antinorteamericanas. Nombres de prestigio como Elia Kazan, José Ferrer, Robert Taylor, Edward Dmytryk, Jerome Robbins, Robert Rossen y tantísimos otros no tuvieron escrúpulos en delatar a sus amigos y compañeros y, ocasionalmente inventar responsabilidades ajenas, asignándoles nombres y apellidos reales. Unos delataban espontánea y gozosamente, y siempre encontraban una justificación patriótica; otros delataban culposa y tartamudamente, y no se repondrían jamás de ese gesto abyecto; otros más delataban como quien teje una amenaza, y así llegaban a sentirse realizados. La amenaza de quedarse sin contratos y, en consecuencia, sin mansión en Beverly Hills, sin fans, sin oscar, resultó insoportable para muchos. Nadie fue torturado para que declarase a gusto del tándem Nixon-McCarthy, y, sin embargo pocas sevicias han logrado en el mundo tantos y tan bien dispuestos informadores como esta simple amenaza de eclipse. Eclipse del confort y de la fama, claro. La histeria anticomunista debió su primer impulso al entonces presidente, Harry Truman; al procurador general, Tom Clark, y al director del F.B.I. John Edgar Hoover; pero encontró sus ejecutores ideales en Richard Nixon, congresista en aquel tiempo, en el senador McCarthy y en el presidente del Comité de Actividades Antinorteamericanas, John S. Wood. Lo de Truman es quizá mas lógico. Todavía hoy su nombre figura como el del único ser humano que ha ordenado arrojar bombas atómicas sobre poblaciones indefensas sobre un país ya virtualmente derrotado. Quién no ha vacilado en aniquilar en un instante a 80.000 personas en Hiroshima y a 40.000 en Nagasaky no iba a sentir nauseas al arruinar las carreras de algunas decenas de intelectuales y artistas. Vale la pena recordar que por aquellos años Winston Churchill dijo que los alemanes debían “sangrar y arder, ser aplastados hasta no quedar de ellos más que una masa de ruinas humeantes” y que a los japoneses era preciso “borrarlos de la faz de la tierra, a cada uno de ellos: hombres, mujeres y niños”. Tampoco lo de Nixon es inexplicable. Quien años mas tarde iba a concluir en Watergate era bastante lógico que aprovechara el comité para pergeñar sus primeros borradores de cinismo ideológico. Si el macartismo no hubiera sido tan nefasto se podría calificar como farsa. Walt Disney declaró que “quienes se adueñan de la Cartoonest Guild (Sindicato de los trabajadores de los estudios de animación) intentan darle a Mickey Mouse un carácter subversivo” el novelista Ayn Rand detectó propaganda comunista en la pelicula norteamericana Songs of Russia sencillamente porque los rusos sonríen. Si Nixon y McCarthy eligieron el campo cultural para propinar un castigo ejemplarizante fue porque sospechaban que la debilidad del mundo del espectáculo, así como de su dependencia del confort, lo convertían en materia apropiada. La verdad es que los que actuaron con decencia lo perdieron todo o casi todo. Dashiell Hammett, el notable novelista con quien Lillian Hellman compartió los años mas intensos de su vida, fue encarcelado en 1.951 por negarse a proporcionar nombres, y luego, cuando recobró su libertad, ya no pudo seguir cobrando sus derechos de autor. La propia Lillian tuvo que vender su tan querida granja, y cuando se le acabaron las reservas sólo consiguió trabajar, con un nombre falso, en el departamento de comestibles de un gran almacén. Varios de los artistas citados por el comité se acogieron a la quinta enmienda constitucional, pero Lillian pese a los consejos de su abogado y del propio Hammett, se negó a ampararse en ese recurso y dirigió a John Wood, presidente del comité, una célebre carta en la que decía entre otras las palabras que hemos oído al principio del programa en la voz de Fernando. El comité no acepto su talante, y a partir de esa negativa no tuvo otra salida que acogerse a la quinta enmienda (que establece que nadie podrá, en una acción criminal, ser obligado a testimoniar contra sí mismo). Lillian llevó su concepto estricto de la decencia a desechar argumentos que tal vez la hubiesen ayudado. A fin de probar la condición independiente de su pasado, su abogado intentó utilizar, como parte de la defensa, el hecho de que en varias oportunidades la prensa del partido comunista norteamericano la había atacado y había comentado desfavorablemente algunas de sus piezas dramáticas. Pero ella negó: “aprovecharme de los ataques de los comunistas sería como atacarlos yo a mi vez en un momento en que estaban siendo perseguidos, y les habría hecho el juego al enemigo”. Si bien su comportamiento le trajo incomprensión y resentimiento por parte de los colegas que habían claudicado, la levantisca actitud de la Hellman obtuvo el apoyo del público y la admiración de los jovenes. Pocos días después de su comparecencia ante el comité tuvo que subir a un escenario. Se trataba del estreno de “Regina”, ópera de Marc Brizstein basada en la obra de la propia Lillian “The little foxes” (Los zorritos). Según lo programado ella debía dar lectura a un largo texto que servía de introducción a la versión operística. No bien apareció en escena, el público y los músicos se pusieron en pie y le dedicaron una ovación atronadora. Realmente, Lillian Hellman fue casi un mito para los liberales norteamericanos. No sólo por lo que hizo, sino porque fueron poquísimos (Arthur Miller, Pete Seegers y algunos mas) los que hicieron algo parecido. Ella era un mito liberal; sin embargo, según ella misma ha confesado, ya no creía en el liberalismo: “El liberalismo perdió para mí toda su credibilidad . Creo que lo he sustituido por algo muy privado; algo que suelo llamar, a falta de un término más preciso, decencia”. Curiosamente cuando McCarthy, llevado por su delirio anticomunista, arremetió nada menos que contra el ejercito norteamericano y tuvo que enfrentarse al abogado Joseph Welch, éste le hizo una pregunta que ha pasado a la historia: “¿No tiene usted sentido de la decencia, señor?”. No, el señor no lo tenía. McCarthy murió en 1.957, pero no estoy seguro de que el macartismo haya fenecido. La limpia imagen de Lillian Hellman fue de incalculable importancia en el compromiso asumido por intelectuales y artistas que vinieron después. Los que se opusieron a la guerra de Vietman, a las políticas de Reagan o de Bush y un largo etcétera. En las ultimas páginas de su libro de memorias “Tiempo de canallas” puede leerse: “ Somos un pueblo al que no le gusta recordar el pasado”. Sin embargo, la propia Lillian Hellman es un pasado que, guste o no, debería recordarse siempre. Sin espectacularidad ni alharacas, su conducta intachable constituyó una alerta para los intelectuales norteamericanos y para todos los intelectuales, incluidos los que creen que la libertad y la justicia son meros problemas semánticos y no derechos inalienables de los pueblos. En su notable libro “Los delatores: el cine norteamericano y la caza de brujas”, de Víctor Navasky, figura una breve declaración de Lillian Hellman : “Es a Dios a quien corresponde perdonar, no a mí”. Pero tampoco han llegado noticias del perdón de Dios.

To get an authentic pool hall feel for his second to last feature The Hustler (he would only make 1964's Lilith before passing away in 1966), director Robert Rossen shot in two actual pool halls in New York City.  New York also stood in for other parts of the country --everything from a Pittsburgh bar to a Kentucky mansion was shot in the city.  And when his lead Paul Newman couldn't master certain pool trick shots, he cut in the hands of pool technical advisor Willie Mosconi.  Though Jackie Gleason's character Minnesota Fats was created by Walter Tevis for the novel on which the movie is based, real life hustler Rudolf Wanderone adopted the persona and insisted that the character was based on him.   Your Hot Date hosts discuss the classic 1961 film and it's towering performances from Newman, Gleason, Piper Laurie and George C.

Even Martin Scorsese's color follow-up, The Color of Money, with all its cinematic bravado, cannot hold a candle to the stark black and white-ness of this amazing cinematic treasure.

Edición número tres de La Gran Evasión. 16-9-2014. Analizamos El Buscavidas, dirigida y producida por Robert Rossen, en 1961. Magnifica, sórdida, oscura, desalentadora y seca cómo un bolazo. Nos adentramos en los garitos, jugando al billar entre humo, whisky y miseria moral, el sempiterno dilema entre mercaderes y artistas, el éxito y el fracaso, la fama y la fortuna, el número uno debe pagar un precio, el amor, el amor silencioso y tibio que sólo lloras cuando lo has perdido... José Miguel Moreno a la dirección, contertulios: Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío y con un clavel en la solapa, un cigarrillo en la comisura de los labios y una pluma acerada en la mano, nuestro Minnesota César Bardés.

Hoooola, @xoumeco al aparato, @ru_howard ya no, que anduvo enfangado en rematar su proyecto fin de carrera y no está presente... Un Tótum Revolútum fresquito, así para el verano, que estamos pasando un calor importante como decían las predicciones, que este año no iba a haber calor... oh, wait! El caso es que David Varela y yo charlábamos de estas cosas que a nosotros nos gustan tanto y salió en la conversación el film de Oliver Stone y me dijo: "de Alejandro tendríamos un podcast muy chulo..." Pues aquí está. Si no habéis visto la película ya tardáis. No os decimos que es lo mejor del mundo mundial, para gustos pintan colores y esta película tiene defectos que en su mayoría le perdonamos porque el conjunto no es malo... escuchadnos para saber de qué hablamos; así también refrescáis la memoria (por si la habéis visto ya) y si no, para que la tengáis presente para hacer nuestro acercamiento a la figura del Magno de la forma distendida y amable que nos caracteriza. Aportamos la información que almacena David en su disco duro interno, que puedo deciros que es mucha, y no entró toda en el podcast y, gracias a ello, conoceremos más de este gran personaje histórico. Comenzamos con una canción al principio del podcast de José Negrete que compuso inspirado por la lectura del libro que escribió su hermano Javier Negrete y del que os dejamos el título más abajo. Decir que todo el Tótum está "espolvoreado" con la BSO de la película de Oliver Stone de la mano de Vangelis y que os recomendamos, tanto David como yo, compréis porque es sublime. Os dejo a continuación una relación en el blog, de los libros recomendados por David en el podcast sobre la figura de Aléxandros para que podáis completar vuestra curiosidad: - "Anábasis de Alejandro Magno". Lucio Flavio Arriano. - "Anábasis". Jenofonte. - "Aléxandros". Valerio Massimo Manfredi. - "El genio de Alejandro Magno". Nicholas Hammond. - "Alejandro Magno". Mary Renault. - "Alejandro y las Águilas de Roma". Javier Negrete. - "Alejandro Magno: Rey de Macedonia, Unificador de Grecia, Conquistador de Asia". Gisbert Haefs. También 2 recomendaciones cinéfilas, la primera es obvia: - "Alexander". Año de producción 2004. Dirigida por Oliver Stone y protagonizada por Colin Farrell. - "Alexander the Great". Año de producción 1956. Dirigida por Robert Rossen y protagonizada por Richard Burton. Aguardamos de verdad, que os guste.

Van Heflin, Barbara Stanwyck, Kirk Douglas and Lizabeth Scott all turn in stellar performances in this 1946 gem. For much of its running time the film lacks many of the visual hallmarks of the noir style, but Robert Rossen's pitch-perfect script, delivered with such subtlety by the fine cast, builds a dark backstory that makes what might have been a standard melodrama into a noir masterpiece: the drama of a few individuals is transformed into a parable of post-war America. Add Edith Head's gorgeous costumes and Miklos Rozsa's superlative score, and you have one of the most enjoyable films ever made.
