“The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.”

The Twilight Zone | 1.22 The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street

Jan Handzlik-Rosalind Russell “Tía y mamá” (Auntie mame) 1958, de Morton da Costa.

[ulrichgebert]

Patrick Dennis’ Erinnerungen an seine Kindheit und Jugend unter der Aufsicht seiner berüchtigten Auntie Mame feierten (ähnlich den Erinnerungen Christopher Isherwoods an seinen Aufenthalt in Berlin) als Buch, Theaterstück, Verfilmung des Theaterstücks, Musical nach dem Theaterstück große, und als Verfilmung des Musicals (dank einer berüchtigten Besetzungs-Fehlentscheidung) leidliche Erfolge. Rosalind Russell glänzte in Theater und Film, und Patrick selbst hielt sie auch für die perfekte Wahl. Sie zeigen auch ingesamt mehr Mut zu Albernheit und Erwachseneninhalten als die Musical-Variante, trotzdem ist es für uns natürlich wieder einer dieser Filme, wo wir an derundjenen Stelle ein Jerry-Herman-Liedchen erwarten, das dann nicht kommt, und der Uncle-Beauregard-Darsteller verblasst etwas neben Robert Preston. Dafür enthält diese Fassung den unabhängig von der geschüttelt-oder-gerührt-Frage nützlichsten Tip zur Herstellung eines Martinis: “Ich kann Ihnen eine Olive hineintun, wenn Sie möchten,aber Auntie Mame findet, das nimmt in den kleinen Gläsern zu viel Platz weg.”

“The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices...to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill...and suspicion can destroy...and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own – for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.”

The episode served as a major influence on science fiction in the decades that followed. Among the films that drew their inspiration from this episode include The Trigger Effect, directed by David Koepp, and The Mist.

TCMFF  Home Edition Must Watch List

Hello friends!

I was supposed to be on a plane today to go to my first TCM Film Festival, but stuff happens and then you have a pandemic and everything gets canceled and you have to stay home! ANYWAYS, TCM decided to bring us some joy by playing programming for all of us, giving us the film festival, but at home. 

I have decided to list my must watch films for this Home Edition of the festival!

Thursday, April 16th

8 pm: A Star is Born (1954, George Cukor)

Starring Judy Garland, James Mason, Jack Carson, and Charles Bickford

On TCM’s website, this was listed as the inaugural film for the 2010 TCMFF. It’s also a film that is Judy Garland at her best. Garland lights up the screen as Esther Blodgett/Vicki Lester. This film has fantastic musical numbers, beautiful colors, and is the best starting film for this festival.

11 PM: Metropolis (1927, Fritz Lang)

Starring Gustav Frohlich, Alfred Abel, Brigitte Helm, and Rudolf Klein-Rogge

If you have never seen a silent film or a German Expressionist film, watch this! Metropolis is the film that aged so well. A futuristic utopia from the lens of the 1920s is very interesting to watch and also some of the themes of this film can be translated to life today. I will say, the film can be described by some as “weird” but I wouldn’t let that stop you from watching it!

Friday, April 17th

2 PM: Eva Marie Saint Live from the TCM Classic Film Festival (2014)

Eva Marie Saint is one of my favorite classic film actresses. She has class, she has poise, and she is very talented. In 2014, TCM had a sit down with the actress to talk about herself and her films. This is such a treat to see!

3 PM: North by Northwest (1959, Alfred Hitchcock)

Starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, Jessie Royce Landis, and Martin Landau

Another case of mistaken identity and suspense! Hitchcock knew what he was doing when he hired Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint to “sex” up in the screen during the 1950s. Their chemistry is electric. The airplane scene is such an intense watch. And James Mason seems to be good at playing a suave bad guy.

5:45 PM: Some Like It Hot (1959, Billy Wilder)

Starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe, Joe E. Brown, George Raft, and Pat O’Brien

Men witnessing a crime and then parading as women so they don’t get murdered! What a farce! Let’s be real, the best chemistry in the film is between Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. They play off each other so well. I will say, I do believe Marilyn Monroe was at her best in this film! Need a laugh, watch this!

1:30 AM: Grey Gardens (1975, Albert Maysles, David Maysles, Ellen Hovde, and Muffy Meyer)

Starring Edith “Big Edie” Ewing Bouvier Beale and Edith “Little Edie” Bouvier Beale

This documentary is fascinating. It is fun but at times absolutely heartbreaking. Big Edie and Little Edie were definitely a fine pair. It is interesting watching the aunt and cousin of Jackie Kennedy Onassis, because they aren’t living in luxury, which would be expected due to their relation. Big and Little Edie are characters that you have to see to believe. The irony is, they are real people and not acting roles. 

5 AM: Kim Novak: Live from the TCM Film Festival (2013)

Kim Novak is so much more than her looks and this interview opened my eyes to how amazing she is as a person as well as an actress. 

Saturday, April 18th (AKA MY BIRTHDAY)

6 AM: The Man with The Golden Arm (1955, Otto Preminger)

Starring Frank Sinatra, Eleanor Parker, and Kim Novak

This is one of the grittiest films from the 1950s. It depicts a heroin addict during their ups and downs. I was honestly surprised this film got made at all during the Production Code Era, but am very glad it did. Sinatra is so raw in his performance and Eleanor Parker creates a complex character as his wife. Of course, Kim Novak is wonderful to watch because she is more than just beautiful, she is an actress. This film really showcases her talent. 

1:15 PM: Safety Last! (1923, Fred C. Newmeyer and Sam Taylor)

Starring Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis, and Bill Strother

Zany antics a plenty! That’s the best description of this film. Harold Lloyd films are always great to watch because he wasn’t afraid to do crazy things to get a laugh. This film has the infamous clock scene too! 

2:45 PM: They Live By Night (1949, Nicholas Ray)

Starring Farley Granger, Cathy O’Donnell, and Howard Da Silva

If you only watch one movie on this list, THIS NEEDS TO BE THE ONE. It’s ironic that it airs on my birthday, because this is one of my favorite films. The story of doomed lovers who try their best to reform from a life of crime to survive wasn’t a new concept, but man, Farley Granger and Cathy O’Donnell make you fall in love with their characters and hope that they somehow, someway make it to their life of happiness together.

10 PM: The Magnificent Ambersons (1942, Orson Welles)

Starring Joseph Cotten, Dolores Costello, Anne Baxter, Tim Holt, and Agnes Moorehead

This film is another case of a film that got cut down by the studio, and in case you were wondering, Orson Welles was pissed. I would hope and pray one day we all get to see the full version (kinda doubtful), but this film isn’t so bad. I think the all-star cast really makes it worth it! 

Sunday, April 19th

6 AM: Jezebel (1938, William Wyler)

Starring Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, and George Brent 

I am not gonna lie, my first viewing of this film enraged me. Henry Fonda’s character made me so mad because he was a jerk. But I have decided I need to rewatch this film and see if my attitudes have changed. This film did so many great things for Bette Davis and Henry Fonda, so we should all give it another (or first) go around. Also this was the film Jane Fonda was born during! Just a fun fact.

3:30 PM: Auntie Mame (1958, Morton DaCosta)

Starring Rosalind Russell, Forrest Tucker, Coral Browne, Jan Handzlik, and Roger Smith

I want to be Auntie Mame. She is so much fun and so unique and I love it. The costumes are so grand in this film and Rosalind Russell really does a great job of bringing Mame to life. This film is so fun!!!

6 PM: Singin’ in the Rain (1952, Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly)

Starring Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O’Connor, and Jean Hagen

This is in my top 5 musicals. This musical always makes me smile and it is one of the few musicals where I know most of the words to the songs. The trio of Kelly, Reynolds, and O’Connor is something magical. Cosmo Brown is also one of my favorite characters in any film (and one of my cat’s namesakes). The film history alone with this film makes it worth watching! JUST WATCH THIS MUSICAL, OKAY?

9:45 PM: The Hustler (1961, Robert Rossen)

Starring Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason, Piper Laurie, and George C. Scott

Paul Newman is so cool in general, so he was born for this role. I never knew a movie about pool would have my interest, but here we are. The tension between Newman and Jackie Gleason is so well played and the way the film is shot, you feel like you are in the room with them. Also Piper Laurie does a great performance as the conflicted girlfriend of Newman’s ambitious pool shark.

12:15 AM: Baby Face (1933, Alfred E. Green)

Starring Barbara Stanwyck, George Brent, and Donald Cook

THIS IS PRECODE HEAVEN! You have a woman who uses sex to get ahead in life and men become entranced, and usually destroyed, by her. Barbara Stanwyck plays her character so well that you have a love-hate relationship with her. She can be cruel, but you understand why she is doing what she is doing.

Original ‘Twilight Zone’ stars on what it’s like being in a cult classic

Invoice Mumy and Jan Handzlik took totally different routes in their careers, however they share a frequent bond: appearing in classic episodes of “The Twilight Zone.” Rod Serling’s black-and-white (principally horror) anthology sequence, which initially aired on CBS (1959-64), will return Monday in the type of Jordan Peele’s “Twilight Zone” revival, streaming on CBS All Entry with stars together with Seth Rogen, Chris O’Dowd, Sanaa Lathan, Greg Kinnear and Tracy Morgan. Mumy (as “Billy” Mumy) was in three “Twilight Zone” episodes — most memorably in 1961’s “It’s a Good Life” because the thought-reading demon seed Anthony Fremont. He additionally co-starred in “Lengthy Distance Name” (1961) — as a 5-year-old speaking to his lifeless grandmother over a toy phone — and with Jack Klugman in 1963’s “In Reward of Pip.” Handzlik, now an investigations and trial lawyer in LA, was 15 when he shot the 1961 mob-mentality episode “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Road.” He performed Tommy, who stirs lethal neighborhood hysteria by suggesting outer-space aliens have brought about the weirdly inexplicable occasions on Maple Road when the facility goes out. (Seems he was proper.) I spoke to Mumy, 64, and Handzlik, 73, about their “Twilight Zone” roles — and what it was like to look in some of the acclaimed sequence in TV historical past. Mumy: I realized a crucial lesson from Cloris Leachman on “It’s a Good Life.” One of many very first closeups we have been taking pictures was of [Leachman] inside the home as I used to be delivering offstage dialogue to her. I used to be goofing round — I keep in mind I used to be sort of making humorous faces at her — and he or she stated, “Minimize!” and he or she took me apart. It wasn’t an embarrassing second, however I’ll always remember it. She stated, “Now pay attention, if you’re off-camera you need to be simply nearly as good as you might be if you’re on-camera. You’ll be able to’t simply goof round.” Look, I used to be 6 or 7 and the underside line is [that] no one ever stated that to me. I used to be like to myself, “Oh, OK, I get it. I see precisely what you imply. That may by no means occur once more.” And it by no means did. Handzlik: I’ve a very distinct reminiscence of the forged members sitting round a desk going over the script with Rod Serling. I can’t keep in mind something he stated, however he personally participated in at the least the dialogue rehearsals. I actually loved working with [co-stars] Jack Weston, Claude Akins and Barry Atwater. I keep in mind Jack Weston was very humorous and was all the time cracking jokes. Invoice MumyAlbert L. Ortega/Getty Mumy: Jack Klugman was so nice, and so passionate, and we have been filming out in Santa Monica at Pacific Ocean Park at night time, which was actually creepy regardless that it was my house turf and I used to go there on a regular basis. We have been about to movie this scene the place he grabs me and he can’t consider I’m bodily and actual and there and he begins hugging me and kissing me. Each of my dad and mom had accompanied me that night time and Jack … got here as much as them, which he didn’t must do, and defined the fervour of the scene. I keep in mind him saying to my dad, “I’m actually gonna seize your child and actually gonna lay one on him and I need you to be comfy with it.” I’ll see that scene at this time and that’s the place my thoughts goes. Handzlik: It was a lot of enjoyable by advantage of what occurred in the episode with the lights going on and off and that’s the place there was a little problem on the soundstage as a result of we needed to [shoot that scene] a variety of occasions. Issues didn’t begin and cease the way in which they have been imagined to. Mumy: There’s a scene at first of “It’s a Good Life” the place Anthony has made a three-headed gopher and he’s holding it up and taking part in with it. It was so repellent to me — it was a reliable prop; it was rubbery and had pores and skin peeling off of it and was a disgusting prop. I keep in mind taking pictures that [scene] and simply grimacing, like “Oh God, do I’ve to carry this!” (On Rod Serling) What I recall very clearly was that he was a very mild presence on the set. You caught him in that black swimsuit, however he didn’t really feel like a black swimsuit sort of man … after which, in fact, him filming these intros and outros. I used to be there for a couple of these. He stopped manufacturing [on “Long Distance Call”] for about 45 minutes and rewrote that final speech the place my dad, performed by Phil Abbott, picks up the toy phone and pleads along with his mom to not let the child die. Rod went off to a nook — I can really see him behind a set with 2-by-4s coming down behind the wall — and he rewrote that speech … and made it so significantly better. I’ve executed a lot of TV exhibits and positively a lot of exhibits as a child and so they all have a fond spot in my reminiscence. However the “Twilight Zones” maintain my consideration and so they keep vibrant. I by no means cringe at them. I’m fairly comfortable to be a a part of what’s inside that little body. “The Twilight Zone” premieres April 1 on CBS All Entry with a double function: a remake of “Nightmare at 30,000 Ft,” that includes Adam Scott (“Parks & Recreation”) in the position William Shatner created, adopted by Kumail Nanjiani and Tracy Morgan in “The Comic.”  Share this: https://nypost.com/2019/03/30/original-twilight-zone-stars-on-what-its-like-being-a-cult-classic/ The post Original ‘Twilight Zone’ stars on what it’s like being in a cult classic appeared first on My style by Kartia. https://kartiavelino.com/2019/03/original-twilight-zone-stars-on-what-its-like-being-in-a-cult-classic.html
