Andy Griffith
Tumblr media
Physique: Stout Build/Chubby Height: 6' (1.83 m)
Andy Samuel Griffith (June 1, 1926 – July 3, 2012; aged 86) was an American actor, comedian, television producer, singer, and writer whose career spanned seven decades in music and television. Known for his Southern drawl, his characters with a folksy-friendly personality, as well as his gruff but friendly voice, Griffith was a Tony Award nominee for two roles. He gained prominence in the starring role in director Elia Kazan's film A Face in the Crowd (1957) and No Time for Sergeants (1958) before he became better known for his television roles, playing the lead roles of Andy Taylor in the sitcom The Andy Griffith Show (1960–1968) and Ben Matlock in the legal drama Matlock (1986–1995).

Griffith was born in Mount Airy, North Carolina, Griffith's first career ambition was to be an opera singer. Later, he decided he wanted to become a Moravian preacher, and enrolled as a pre-divinity student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1944. While in college, he became involved in drama and musical theater and graduated in 1949 with a degree in music. Griffith taught high school music for three years before setting out, with his new wife, Barbara Edwards, a fellow actor at UNC, on a career as an entertainer.

Sure everybody loved him as sheriff Andy, but it was his portrayal of Ben Matlock that got my blood pumping. He seem to go from a tall, lanky man in The Andy Griffith Show, to a short chubby one by the end of Matlock, aging beautifully with his ‘perfect’ silver hair and still bangable if not more so.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Griffith was married three times, first to Barbara Bray Edwards on August 22, 1949, and they adopted two children: a son and a daughter. They divorced in 1972. Griffith's second wife was Solica Cassuto, a Greek actress. They were married from 1973 to 1981. Griffith and Cindi Knight married on April 12, 1983, and they remained married until Griffith's death. Apparently, Aneta Corsaut and the married Griffith had an ongoing affair throughout the five years they worked together on The Andy Griffith Show; the affair was an open secret amongst the cast and crew.

Griffith, who died at his home in Roanoke Island, N.C., at 86, was an unlikely star from the beginning to the end of his long career. And unlikely sex symbol. He didn't look like a leading man, and he certainly didn't sound like one when he opened his mouth. Yet his impact on television and me personally, was nothing short of monumental.
Tumblr media
RECOMMENDATIONS: Play the Game (2009) Waitress (2007) Matlock (TV Series 1986–1995) The Andy Griffith Show (TV Series 1960–1968) A Face in the Crowd (1957)

Madeline “Matty” Matlock takes the stand as a new take on a familiar favorite in Matlock Season 1, Episode 1 “Pilot.” Written by Jennie Snyder Urman and directed by Kate Cairo, this legal drama breaks away from the one you may know to carve out space for a fresh case with compelling characters and a gripping serialized arc. 
This series premiere cleverly and quickly separates itself from Andy Griffith’s Ben Matlock and his NBC/ABC series. It’s never a question whether this series is a continuation of that one, which could’ve become a long-running doubt. Instead, this episode uses the distinction to set up a satisfying bookend and emphasize Matlock’s tone.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Matlock – mostly Leah Lewis’ Sarah – also uses the thinly veiled connections between Matty and Griffith’s character to joke about other famous on-screen lawyers. Matlock almost exhausts all those jokes (Down to playing the original Matlock theme song!) in the series premiere to make way for its much stickier plot, revealed in the end.
Even before that twist unwinds to the opening scene, this episode proves it can balance a healthy sense of humor with weightier storylines.
This pilot goes from Matty pretending to be a family friend so a man will offer up any information he may know to Matty having a genuine, heartfelt conversation with Carlin about her sobriety. The hilarity and sincerity come in equal measure, mainly for Matty, like when she bonds with Cherlene about finding a man who knows where the clitoris is. Those scenes have so much range, which bodes well for the series.
Tumblr media
It’s no wonder that Matlock’s first episode hones in on “Matty” Matlock. That character is well-defined by the final minute because Madeline offers her entire life story throughout the episode. It feels as though there’s no stone left unturned because the biggest one is that “Matty” is a facade for Madeline’s quest for justice for her daughter.
It’s an excellent bait and switch that Matlock Season 1, Episode 1, “Pilot,” builds up to well.
It’s surprising, but it doesn’t come out of nowhere. Even in the show’s promotion, there are context clues (Using Britney Spears’ “Oops!…I Did It Again”) that something is coming. Contextually, Matty’s resourceful tactics to get the job at Jacobson Moore and the premise of “nobody sees us coming” encourage viewers not to underestimate this character. 
Regardless, the twist has so many complex, moving parts that it’s challenging to fully guess where it will go until the camera reveals Matty’s board of strings and suspects.
Tumblr media
In the meantime, the series premiere suggests Matlock will strengthen the core interpersonal relationships to maximize any emotional and professional fallout. For example, this episode does some work to build trust between Matty, Billy, and Sarah, specifically on that back patio. Likewise, it teases the meaty story between the recently separated co-workers Julian and Olympia. Olympia and her “forever” father-in-law, Senior, also have a supportive relationship that will hopefully be explored further.
However, where Matlock truly succeeds is the dynamic between Bates’s Matty and Skye P. Marshall’s Olympia. Matty has more scenes with Sarah and Billy as she works the case and learns some of the ins and outs at Jacobson Moore. Still, the relationship between Matty and Olympia becomes the crux of Matlock’s series debut.
It pays off, too, because it’s disappointing to see Olympia on Madeline’s board of suspects. Matlock Season 1, Episode 1, “Pilot,” introduces Olympia as anything but one-not or periphery. Undoubtedly, Olympia holds as much importance to this series as Matty.
Tumblr media
That alone stirs up such great conflict between Matty and Olympia, doubling as another character-based hook for this procedural series. 
Olympia, who is walking the tightrope to make senior partner, must rely on Matty as a team member. Meanwhile, Matty has to maintain a cover to uncover the truth that could help the woman and law firm that may have played a broader part in her daughter’s death. The characters and layers of all of this are fascinating.
Matlock premieres into a slate already chock-full of procedural shows: other new additions, long-running series, and spinoffs of those shows fill up CBS and other networks.
Matlock has to stand among them but also apart from them, and this pilot proves it’s more than capable of both. This episode raises expectations and twists them on their heads without ever diminishing them. Matlock maintains momentum even after the screen fades to black, which is quite the impression to leave with a pilot.

Novità (ma non solo...)
Tumblr media
Il vostro affezionato staff delle Biblioteche di Milano vi imbandisce un piccolo antipasto letterario, prima delle pantagrueliche proposte natalizie.
Tumblr media
Di Geoffrey Holiday Hall si sa soltanto che fu giornalista e scrittore. Elogiato da Leonardo Sciascia che lesse La fine è nota nel 1952, pubblicò solo due gialli e poi scomparve praticamente nel nulla. La fine è nota (uscito per la prima volta in Italia con il titolo La morte alla finestra) fu premiato in Francia nel 1953 come miglior poliziesco in lingua non francese. Il titolo originale (The end is known) deriva dal Giulio Cesare di Shakespeare: “Oh, se fosse dato all’uomo di conoscere la fine di questo giorno che incombe! Ma basta solo che il giorno trascorra e la sua fine è nota”. Un giallo di classe, strutturato come un viaggio a ritroso nella vita del protagonista di cui si ricostruisce la storia passo per passo, testimonianza per testimonianza, come un misterioso puzzle che si completa, ovviamente, solo nel finale. Molto godibile è anche il secondo titolo Qualcuno alla porta, dai toni più leggeri, nonostante gli omicidi e l’atmosfera della Vienna sotto l’occupazione sovietica nel secondo dopoguerra che non ricorda neppure lontanamente gli splendori dell’impero asburgico. “Sembra uno di quei soggetti che piacevano a Hitchcock (e non è detto che il pressoché ignoto Holiday Hall, scrivendo Qualcuno alla porta, non avesse in mente le figure di James Stewart e Doris Day, o di Cary Grant e Grace Kelly)”. La frizzante coppia americana che si trova, suo malgrado, a gestire le indagini ricorda anche il duo Tommy e Tuppence di Agatha Christie. Doppio colpo di scena sul finale: cosa chiedere di più a un libro giallo?
Tumblr media
Ha un solo difetto Un volto nella folla di Budd Schulberg: è troppo breve. Parliamo ancora dell’autore di Perché corre Sammy? e I disincantati per questo racconto appena uscito e finora inedito in Italia, da cui Elia Kazan trasse il film omonimo con protagonista Andy Griffith (l’indimenticabile avvocato Matlock della fortunata serie televisiva, per intenderci). Il tema, fin troppo attuale, è quello della manipolazione del pensiero e dei comportamenti (e quindi del voto) delle masse da parte dei personaggi dello spettacolo: in questo caso si tratta di un finto sempliciotto proveniente da un paesino dell’Arkansas che, in virtù della sua sconcertante capacità di coinvolgimento, diventa il paradigma dell’America intera. Grazie alle sue canzoni folk, a vecchi luoghi comuni sulle tradizioni popolari e a un indubbio carisma, il nostro eroe riesce a condizionare il pubblico e ad arricchirsi con i lauti proventi della pubblicità. Cambia il tema negli altri due racconti della raccolta: i ‘dietro le quinte’ del mondo del cinema in Questa è Hollywood, che l’autore, sceneggiatore e figlio di un tycoon della Paramount, non solo conosceva bene, ma sapeva anche descrivere con agile penna, e L’imbonitore, sul mondo della boxe. Ricordiamo che per la sceneggiatura di Fronte del porto (che è anche un romanzo), celebre film con Marlon Brando, Schulberg si aggiudicò l’Oscar nel 1954.
Tumblr media
Per la serie i grandi classici hanno sempre qualcosa da dire è stato ripubblicato da Mondadori e da Sellerio Brighton Rock di Graham Greene. Una lettura da consigliare sotto tutti i punti di vista: un giallo ben costruito con protagonisti tratti sia dalla malavita, sia dal caso che fa di un personaggio del tutto inaspettato un accanito segugio alla ricerca del colpevole, come fosse Porfirij Petrovic che insegue Raskolnikov o Javert che perseguita Jean Valjean, ma con uno spirito diverso, fresco e originale. “Nello specchio inclinato sopra il lavabo si poteva vedere riflesso, ma gli occhi si distolsero rapidamente da quell’immagine di guance livide e mal rasate, di capelli lisci e occhi da vecchio. Non lo interessava. Era troppo orgoglioso per preoccuparsi del suo aspetto”.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nuova ristampa anche per Le vittime di Norwich (1935) uno dei gialli più famosi (insieme a The House of Dr. Edwardes che ispirò il film Io ti salverò diretto da Alfred Hitchcock) fra i 31 composti dalla coppia britannica John Leslie Palmer e Hilary Aidan St. George Saunders sotto lo pseudonimo di Francis Beeding.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Da La regina degli scacchi di Walter Tevis, lo scrittore di Lo spaccone e Il colore dei soldi, è stata tratta una miniserie televisiva di grande successo. Accade spesso che i geni abbiano avuto una vita difficile, siano dei disadattati, spesso asociali, in perenne conflitto con se stessi, il prossimo e il mondo che li circonda. È anche questo il caso della protagonista, la piccola Beth, cresciuta in orfanotrofio, che trova una riscossa alla sua grigia esistenza grazie alla passione per la scacchiera. Una curiosità sul ‘caso letterario’ di Tevis: dopo il successo dei primi libri, fu dimenticato anche a causa dei problemi con l’alcol. Quando decise di riprendere a scrivere, lo fece seguendo un corso di scrittura all’Università dove fu riconosciuto dal poeta Donald Justice che, stupito, gli chiese cosa ci facesse un grande autore come lui in mezzo agli studenti, quando avrebbe invece dovuto salire in cattedra. Breve fu purtroppo la sua seconda stagione creativa: Tevis morì a soli 56 anni per un tumore.
Tumblr media
Il voyeurismo è il tema principale dell’ultimo romanzo di Simenon pubblicato da Adelphi, Delitto impunito: composto nel 1953 durante il soggiorno dello scrittore a Lakeville nel Connecticut, fu edito l’anno successivo in volume e a puntate sul settimanale «Les Nouvelles littéraires». Il secondo tema del libro è l’invidia, quella di chi non ha nulla, né bellezza né fascino nè denaro ed è stato defraudato perfino dell’affetto dei genitori, nei confronti di chi invece ha tutto questo e ne mena vanto, e gode nell’esibirlo senza ritegno. Una lotta accanita tra due personalità, che è la lotta atavica tra gli uomini per la supremazia. “A Élie non era mai successo di trovarsi davanti un uomo completamente felice, felice in tutto e per tutto, sempre e comunque, in ogni momento della giornata, e che approfittava con candore di tutto quel che lo circondava per accrescere il proprio piacere”.
Tumblr media
Una nuova indagine per l’improbabile detective di Partanna Giovà, metronotte per caso, coinvolto in un duplice omicidio di stampo mafioso insieme a tutta la scombinata famiglia Di Dio. Sarà ancora una volta l’anziana madre, autentica virago arroccata alle salde tradizioni popolari e armata di un cervello dalla logica “acuminata”, ad avviare le indagini verso l’inevitabile conclusione. Ma cos’è La boffa allo scecco? Questo, almeno, ve lo possiamo svelare: si tratta di un gesto simil-apotropaico (in realtà un autentico sopruso) che a tutti è occorso di subire almeno una volta nella vita, ovvero lo schiaffo di rimando, come sfogo per un’ingiustizia patita che non si è in grado di vendicare altrimenti. Roberto Alajmo non delude le aspettative.
Tumblr media
Per quanto riguarda Sarà assente l’autore di Giampaolo Simi, si può dire che, se esiste una sana via di mezzo tra assecondare a priori i gusti dei lettori meno esigenti e scrivere in modo che solo l’autore possa comprendere i propri contenuti, Simi l’ha sicuramente trovata e ce la propone in queste succulente paginette. Dedicato a chi ha la voglia, la necessità, l’urgenza di ridere a crepapelle.
Tumblr media
Nell’ultimo nato della serie del BarLume di Marco Malvaldi, La morra cinese, gli inossidabili vecchietti sono alle prese con l’omicidio niente di meno che di un giovane filologo romanzo alle prese con un carteggio appartenente alla famiglia di un nobile “arci-decaduto” del luogo, in cui, pare, compariva addirittura un’epistola inedita di Giacomo Leopardi. Ma questo non è l’unico movente per un delitto che non resterà a lungo irrisolto.

Finally got around to it and watched Glass Onion just as it faded out of the required viewing cultural zeitgeist enough to be judged on its own. It was enjoyable, sometimes in spite of itself, but overall not Rian’s best film either.
I’ll preface this with the admission that if literally anyone else tried to make a pandemic film like this I’d do my best to hurt them physically, but Rian Johnson pulls it off with overall charm and grace. I’ll extend that grace to Rian as well and note that the pandemic era had everyone acting like caricatures of themselves, so the cartoonish figures in the movie can be explained if not totally pardoned.
This is really the greatest flaw in the movie. The characters were jarringly 2D compared to some of Rian’s previous character work, if you note the writing in Brick or Looper or even parts of that one Star Wars movie we like to forget about. Every character in Brick is wacky and unnatural, but it works and we get the idea that these people aren’t just hollow puppets for furthering the plot. They’re weird but somehow still real. Glass Onion, on the other hand, did not ring true.
Knives Out had this problem to a lesser degree, but you still could feel that the Conservakiddie twitter/4chan troll cousin was more of a strawman than a real exploration of what drives this new generation Ben Shapiro wannabes. That said, the fantastic cast balances out Knives Out, while only some of the players in Glass Onion are saved by all-star talent. I digress.
As a sequel, Glass Onion was nigh perfect. This Knives Out trilogy (?) is setting up to be distinctly enjoyable in the tradition of Columbo or Matlock, where a quirky detective solves crimes around a cast of weirdos and each installment has very little impact on the next. This of course means that all the development from sequel to sequel takes place outside of plot and deep character development, because those things reset for a functional audience once the credits roll.
Glass Onion does this for us by developing a world where the crazy rich people from the first movie are extrapolated out to crazier rich people who display 1 of 1 Porsche 918 Spyders on the roofs of their mansions because their private islands don’t have roads. It gives clues into our favorite detective’s love life, but establishes it outside any certain continuity so that you can watch them in reverse order and the only thing that changes are the political views of the stawmen that only the most disingenuous Adam-McKay types will actually enjoy dunking on.
It’s a really tricky tightrope to walk, and even as it has its wobbles, Glass Onion makes it across. Sure, it lacked the novelty of the first one, and now that a pattern’s established some of the shine is taken from the first as well when you can see the thematic bones of a series, but it was perfectly serviceable and furthermore made me have fun even when I went to it truly jaded by bad tumblr analysis.
The second act 2 twist, where things heat up significantly from the first, is what saved the movie for me. Sure, I basically had the plot solved in my head by the time we got to the second discussion by the pool, but the extra, semi-red herring (pink herring?) twist took a mystery I’d already solved, let me still keep it solved, and then let me continue to wonder where it was going even as I knew how it ended. Only Rian could do this and also make it an enjoyable pandemic film.
Then they put Ed Norton in the Tom Cruise costume from Magnolia and the movie was sealed. Not Rian’s best, but not bad either.
