"Es macht Spaß, den alten Leuten bei der Arbeit zuschauen, die können so so schöne Gesichter machen" sagt der Tobi. Darin topp Sir Ian Sir Anthony locker, als der Ankleider, der ein wenig wider alle Vernunft den reichlich angeschlagenen "Sir" durch seinen allerletzten Lear (es ist der 217.) begleitet/nötigt, weil, was soll denn auch aus ihm werden, wenn die Show nicht weitergeht. Sagen Sie Bescheid, wenn wir anfangen, mehr Stücke über Leute, die Shakespeare spielen anzuschauen, als Stücke von Shakespeare.

While reading the play The Dresser by Ronald Harwood, I came across a quote that struck me as a sons of Feanor moment.

"And here's something funny...when we were beating ourselves delirious,...[he] came to our aid uninvited. Not a word he said, just gave assistance when assistance was needed. Afterwards, just before the interval, I thanked him. "Get stuffed," he said, which wasn't nice, and added scornfully, "I don't know why I helped." And I said, "Because we're a band of brothers, and you're one of us in spite of yourself." ...He hobbled away, head down, and if he was given to muttering, he'd have muttered. Darkly."

Tales of the Unexpected: Series 2 (16 episodes, 1980)

[theoscarsproject]

The Dresser (1983). Personal assistant Norman struggles to get deteriorating veteran actor Sir through a difficult performance of King Lear.

Loud and a bit hammy, but still somehow wildly watchable, I actually enjoyed this one. The script is a bit all over the place, but the actors really sell it and seem to be having a bit of a ball with it, so there's enough there to get your attention and hold it. Interesting concept pretty well executed. 7/10.

Curufin: We have to face the facts.

Maglor: I've never done that in my life, and I don't see why I should start now.

7:00 PM

SO EVIL MY LOVE

Devout missionary's widow Olivia Harwood (Ann Todd) falls under the spell of charming artist-rogue Mark Bellis (Ray Milland) on a steamship returning them to 1890s London from the West Indies. Sensing easy prey for his rakish charm, Bellis moves into Olivia's boardinghouse and soon has her in his thrall. Romantic obsession causes her to aid him in a nefarious and deadly scheme, leading to a shocking and bloody climax. Inspired by an actual never-solved murder, this is one of the great unheralded gothic-noir dramas of the 1940s. With Geraldine Fitzgerald.

Originally released July 21, 1948. Paramount [Universal], 112 minutes. Screenplay by Ronald Millar and Leonard Spigelgass, from the novel For Her to See by Marjorie Bowen. Produced by Hal Wallis. Directed by Lewis Allen

9:00

SLEEP, MY LOVE

Alison Courtland (Claudette Colbert) awakens on a speeding train with no memory of how she got there. Reunited with her husband Richard (Don Ameche), he proposes hypnosis to uncover the root of his wife's mental instability. Overlooked in the noir canon because it was deemed a "woman's picture," Sleep, My Love is one of Sirk's strongest 1940s pictures, deftly combining witty humor, creepy atmospherics, and genuine thrills all anchored by the sprightly chemistry of co-stars Colbert and Robert Cummings.

Originally released March 16, 1948. Triangle Productions [United Artists], 94 minutes. Screenplay by St. Clair McKelway and Leo Rosten, from the novel by Rosten. Produced by Ralph Cohn, Buddy Rogers, and Mary Pickford. Directed by Douglas Sirk.

Modena, Giorno Della Memoria, gli studenti riflettono sulla Shoa

Modena, Giorno Della Memoria, gli studenti riflettono sulla Shoa Con musiche e letture per ricordare la Shoah ma anche percorsi didattici su razzismo e discriminazioni per riflettere sulla memoria e sul suo significato, gli studenti e le studentesse modenesi sono tra i protagonisti del programma di iniziative organizzate in città dal Comune di Modena con il Comitato per la storia e le memorie del Novecento e l'Istituto storico di Modena per il Giorno della Memoria 2024 che propone concerti, spettacoli, trekking urbano, conferenze e testimonianze. Alle attività con i ragazzi è dedicata, in particolare, la giornata di venerdì 26 gennaio: al Palanderlini, dalle 8 alle 14, sono in programma un concerto e letture per il Giorno della Memoria curati dagli allievi e dalle allieve delle classi terze della scuola media Guidotti, in collaborazione con il gruppo modenese degli Zambra Mora, aperti a studenti e genitori. Gli studenti e le studentesse di terza della scuola media Marconi propongono invece a tutta la città "Quale memoria? Le parole che cambiano", percorsi realizzati sui temi del razzismo, delle discriminazioni e dell'intolleranza attraverso letture, poesie, video e musiche, volti e voci per condividere riflessioni sulla pace e la solidarietà tra i popoli. Pensata per le scuole medie è anche "E per questo resisto. Voci e musiche per ricordare la Shoah" con la voce recitante di Alessia Canducci e le musiche dei Flexus. L'iniziativa, a cura della Biblioteca Delfini, comincia alle 10.30 e potrà essere seguita anche in diretta streaming sui canali FB e Youtube Biblioteche Modena e Archivio storico. Il programma degli appuntamenti per il Giorno della Memoria è stato presentato questa mattina, martedì 23 gennaio, con una conferenza stampa alla quale sono intervenuti Gianpietro Cavazza, vicesindaco del Comune di Modena; Chiara Lusuardi, Istituto storico di Modena, Andrea Salsi, vicepreside della scuola Guidotti; José Carrasso, responsabile progetti della scuola Marconi; Valter Malosti, direttore di Emilia Romagna Teatro Ert/Teatro Nazionale, che porta in scena il progetto "Fuga. Ventuno poesie di Primo Levi". Come ha sottolineato il vicesindaco Cavazza, "l'olocausto è una forma estrema di deumanizzazione finalizzata all'annientamento dell'altro che si presenta oggi in nuove forme con la barbarie dei diversi conflitti sparsi nel mondo e nelle forme più subdole del linguaggio violento e discriminatorio che riducono la persona a cosa". Primo appuntamento in calendario è giovedì 25 gennaio, alle 17, all'Archivio storico comunale con la conferenza di Grazia Biondi "Il latte e il sangue: rapporti fra modenesi e Comunità ebraica in età moderna". Alle 18, in Sinagoga, Rav Beniamino Goldstein, rabbino capo della Comunità ebraica di Modena, propone letture di salmi e preghiere in ricordo dei deportati con la testimonianza di Marta Affricano, che era bambina quando fu presa durante il rastrellamento del Ghetto di Roma e deportata ad Auschwitz. Alle 20.30, al Teatro San Carlo, il concerto del Quantum clarinet trio, per clarinetto, violoncello e pianoforte, a cura di Gioventù musicale d'Italia. Il Giorno della Memoria, sabato 27 febbraio, si apre alle 9, nella sede di UniMoRe, con la deposizione della corona alla lapide in memoria dei docenti e degli studenti perseguitati a causa delle leggi razziali. Alle 11, per la prima volta, alla Polisportiva Villadoro (via del Lancillotto 10) sarà deposta una corona al murales che ricorda il Porrajimos, lo sterminio di mezzo milione di Rom e Sinti avvenuto ad Auschwitz. L'iniziativa è realizzata in collaborazione con il liceo Sigonio. Alle 16, alla Biblioteca Delfini, "Io, l'abominevole: leggere Deutsch Requiem", appuntamento con i gruppi di lettura, mentre alle 17 all'Auditorium della Corale Rossini, la Compagnia dei vinti presenta "La Torre d'avorio" di Ronald Harwood. Alle 20.30, al Teatro comunale Pavarotti-Freni, il Quartetto Prometeo esegue il Concerto della memoria e del dialogo, a cura dell'associazione Amici della musica Mario Pedrazzi. Domenica 28 gennaio, alle 15, da piazza Mazzini, il trekking "Camminare la storia. Stranieri nella propria terra" attraversa i luoghi della persecuzione ebraica nel periodo 1938-1948. L'itinerario, a cura dell'Istituto storico, è adatto a tutte e tutti. Lunedì 29 gennaio, alle 11, nel Teatro della Fondazione Collegio San Carlo, si svolge la lezione dello storico Guri Schwarz "Il 27 gennaio e le aporie della memoria", per le quarte e le quinte delle scuole superiori di Modena e provincia. Al Teatro Storchi, alle 19, va in scena "Fuga. Ventuno poesie di Primo Levi", letture di Valter Malosti. Lo spettacolo, prodotto da Emilia Romagna Teatro Ert/Teatro Nazionale, in collaborazione con Fondazione Villa Emma e con il sostegno di Fondazione di Modena, è a ingresso gratuito. La rappresentazione è preceduta, alle 17.30 da "Non chiamateci maestri", dialogo con il pubblico a cura di Fausto Ciuffi. Il programma si completa con "Oltre la rete, oltre il muro. Per non dimenticare", education volley project a cura di Moxa che si svolge dal 28 febbraio al 4 marzo.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Ray Milland and Ann Todd in So Evil My Love (Lewis Allen, 1948)

Cast: Ray Milland, Ann Todd, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Leo G. Carroll, Raymond Huntley, Raymond Lovell, Martita Hunt, Moira Lister, Roderick Lovell, Muriel Aked. Screenplay: Ronald Millar, Leonard Spiegelgass, based on a novel by Joseph Shearing. Cinematography: Mutz Greenbaum. Production design: Thomas N. Morahan. Film editing: Vera Campbell. Music: William Alwyn. 

So Evil My Love needs a better actress than the starchy Ann Todd to make its central premise work, that a respectable Victorian widow of an Anglican missionary would fall so hard for a handsome cad that she'd do anything from larceny to murder for him. It could also have used a more charismatic cad than Ray Milland in the role. We meet Olivia Harwood (Todd) on a ship returning to England from Jamaica, where she has buried her husband. When the ship's doctor asks her to help nurse some malaria patients on board, she agrees -- a little reluctantly, which is perhaps a sign that she's not as sweetly complaisant as she might be. One of the patients is traveling under the name Mark Bellis (Milland), which may not be his real name: He's an artist who makes his living by stealing valuable paintings and forging Rembrandts. A spark is lit between them, although we don't really see it because the actors have so little chemistry, and when they get back to London, Bellis makes his way to her doorstep. She owns a small house and lets out rooms, one of which he takes, though under the disapproving eye of her other tenant, the ostentatiously proper Miss Shoebridge (Muriel Aked). When Olivia allows Bellis to paint her, in an off-the-shoulder peasant blouse, she relaxes her defenses and passion blossoms -- or what passes for it in the screenplay if not on the screen. Meanwhile, Olivia makes contact with an old school friend, Susan Courtney (Geraldine Fitzgerald), who is unhappily married to the wealthy and domineering Henry Courtney (Raymond Huntley). Susan has confessed her unhappiness, and her love for another man, Sir John Curle (Roderick Lovell), in letters to Olivia. When the affair between Bellis and Olivia develops, he finds the letter and sees the possibility of blackmailing Courtney, who is in line for a peerage that would be derailed by scandal. Under Bellis's spell, Olivia gets deeper and deeper into a plot that turns lethal. There's potential for real heat in the story, but miscast leads and a talky script undo it.

Tales of the Unexpected: Series 1 (9 episodes, 1979)

[howardhawkshollywoodannex]

Barney Clark as Oliver Twist (2005) asks "Please sir, may I have some more."

Oliver Twist was adapted from Charles Dickens 1838 novel by Ronald Harwood. Ron was born in Cape Town, South Africa, and has 43 writing credits from a 1961 Canadian tv episode to a 2015 move on the telly. He is an Oscar winner for another Roman Polanski film, The Pianist.

His other notable credits include The Dresser (1983), Being Julia, and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. It is unclear if his writing credit for the 2015 version of The Dresser with Anthony Hopkins is for his original 1983 screenplay, or for any work he did on the 2015 remake.
