This is an overlooked John Wayne movie ,as well as an overlooked Hathaway's -who in his long career produced more great or good movies than wretched ones :"Peter Ibbetson" is one of the most beautiful romantic movies I know,"lives of a Bengal lancer is adventures movie quintessence and "Niagara" remains one of Marilyn Monroe's best films ,to name but three.John Wayne is cast against type in "the shepherd" ;he is not really the he-man but a frail human being ,born under a bad sign , with a curse hanging over him .The characters and the atmosphere are not unlike those of "the trail of the lonesome pine" which Hathaway made five years earlier ,with the same wonderful color.Some scenes are admirable:when Wayne 's old man enters the room of the old home,he feels a presence in the room : the furniture, the things ,everything reminds him of the woman he's never stopped loving (he is as romantic as Peter Ibbetson!).Another memorable scene shows the old man and his son fishing in the river :watch closely and you'll hear a ravaged tale ;the gentler side of the movie hides real fury (and Hathaway does not indulge himself a flashback of the stormy fateful night).Actually,John Wayne 's character is not so much bitter as wistful and it's one of the actors' best performances;but it's all the cast that should be praised .Add it to your Hathaway list.

This is John Wayne's first color film and he receives top billing, though clearly the star of this hillbilly movie is Harry Carey. Unfortunately, there were quite a few films about the Ozarks made during a 10 year stretch in the 30s and 40s and they were all pretty bad (such as SWING YOUR LADY, THE MILLERSON CASE and SPITFIRE). And while this movie isn't exactly bad, it sure isn't good--due to weird script writing and some over the top performances (particularly Beulah Bondi who plays a character like a mean version of Granny from "The Beverly Hillbillies").Harry Carey is a stranger to the mountains and wants to buy land and move there. Considering that there is no logical reason for a stranger to move there, it's amazing how long it takes the residents to realize who he really is. At the same time, John Wayne (who seems rather out of place in this hillbilly heaven) broods about how he hates the father who abandoned him--yet he and so many others don't bother putting it all together to realize his father is Carey. Now I know that this technically is a spoiler (so it is noted), but every member of the audience guessed this LONG before the folks did in the movie. Sadly, I think the idea that mountain folk are superstitious idiots is how you are supposed to rationalize how none of them figured this out for the longest time! I'm sure most Arkansans groan when such stereotypes appear on film.Despite beautiful color cinematography, there isn't much to recommend this dull little film due to dumb (and occasionally cartoon-like) characters, a silly plot and a rather listless pace. While it's far from horrible, it's nothing like you'd expect from John Wayne and it's only passable entertainment.

Vénus aveugle (Blind Venus) is a 1941 French film melodrama, directed by Abel Gance, and one of the first films to be undertaken in France during the German occupation. Although the film is not set in any specified period, Gance wanted it to be seen as relevant to the contemporary situation in France. He wrote, "...La Vénus aveugle is at the crossroads of reality and legend... The heroine ... gradually sinks deeper and deeper into despair. Only when she has reached the bottom of the abyss does she encounter the smile of Providence that life reserves for those who have faith in it, and she can then go serenely back up the slope towards happiness.

CITIZEN KANE ON DVDLike King Lear and Don Giovanni, Citizen Kane (1941) has the burden of being "the greatest" and "best ever." Who can really enjoy a film with that much pressure? But Citizen Kane withstands such agressive acclaim as a glance at the wonderful new DVD shows. It isn't the best film ever made simply because there's no such thing - how could it be "better" than Vertigo or Breathless or Sherlock Jr. or Shock Corridor? But there's no denying that Citizen Kane is a stunning, one-of-a-kind film as essential as, yes, Shakespeare or Mozart (both Welles favorites).The DVD does the film justice; in fact it's like seeing it fresh. The image is crisp and detailed, especially important considering the amount of detail director/star/co-writer Orson Welles loved to pack in. The contrasts of light and dark also show Greg Toland's cinematography to best effect and there are almost no visible spots or imperfections. (One tiny flaw deserves mention: In the scene where the reporter interviews Bernstein, raindrops on the lower part of the window were apparently erased by software considering them image "noise." The drops are visible in the closing credits and on tapes of the film.) The audio is the original monophonic sound and hasn't been revised to create any kind of monstrous stereo effect, allowing Bernard Herrmann's score to shine. Citizen Kane is a film that stands up to repeated viewings, something even more pleasurable in this clean presentation. You can notice, for instance, how Kane is first shown only in fragments - hand, lips, silhouette - that parallels how his story is presented. Or tucked away (barely noticable) on Susan's dresser the first time she meets Kane is the glass snowball that breaks in the opening. It's amazing how a 25-year-old Welles with very limited film experience so thoroughly grasped the essence of cinema that even today few directors can match him.The Citizen Kane DVD is a two-disc set that includes numerous extras. The most important are two audio commentaries on the film. One is by Peter Bogdanovich, who did an essential book-length interview with Welles called This Is Orson Welles. Bogdanovich's commentary is good on many of the technical aspects, pointing out where something derived from Welles' vast experience in radio or how a particular shot was constructed by digging a hole in the floor for the camera. He also adds a personal touch (Welles lived with Bogdanovich for a while) by revealing Welles' personal sense of humor or which scenes weren't Welles' favorites. The other commentary is a warm, personable one by noted critic Roger Ebert. He provides more general information on the making of the film, adding some interesting observations of his own. The second disc includes the documentary The Battle Over Citizen Kane, presented just as it was originally shown on PBS complete with an introduction and a fertilizer commercial. The Battle Over Citizen Kane is really a dual biography of Welles and William Randolph Hearst (an inspiration for the character of Kane) that culminates in the Kane controversy. Actual details about Citizen Kane in documentary are fairly limited. Though The Battle Over Citizen Kane is certainly fascinating and fills in a lot of background detail, it's basically a routine mix of modern-day interviews laced with stock footage (some of the latter is clearly from the wrong time period). Unfortunately, it also dismisses the rest of Welles career even though he continued to make films in many ways the equal of Citizen Kane: The Magnificent Ambersons, Touch of Evil, Othello, Chimes at Midnight. Of the other extras, definitely don't miss the clever and funny trailer narrated by Orson Welles. There are also newsreels, production information and a few other odds and ends. Some views of the script and call sheets are included but these flip past with no control over the speed or ability to zoom for a readable image so there's not much point. Also here is an incomplete Welles filmography that lists only the well-known films. Oddly enough, it mentions the partly filmed and abandoned It's All True but ignores mostly completed but unreleased works like The Other Side of the Wind, The Deep and Don Quixote. By the way, for some inexplicable reason, interviews with Robert Wise and Ruth Warwick are hidden on the discs; you can find them by clicking on the sleds in the menus.By Lang Thompson News - Citizen Kane CITIZEN KANE ON DVDLike King Lear and Don Giovanni, Citizen Kane (1941) has the burden of being "the greatest" and "best ever."

Share Ruth Warrick, the actress who will forever be identified as the first Mrs. Kane in Orson Welles'Citizen Kane (1941) to film buffs; and Phoebe Wallingford, the meddlesome nosybody on the long-running soap opera All My Children, to modern television audiences, died at her Manhattan home on January 15 of complications from Pneumonia. She was 89. She was born on June 29, 1915 in St. Joseph, Missouri. After attaining a degree in theatre from the University of Kansas City, she left for New York, where in 1938, she joined the Mercury Theater troupe, headed by a young artist on the rise by the name of Orson Welles. When Welles prepared to film Citizen Kane (1941) he took several players from his Mercury Theater (Joseph Cotten, Everett Sloan, AgnesMoorehead) and of course, Ruth Warrick. She made her film debut in Welles' cinematic epic as Emily Norton Kane. Indeed, to many film buffs, Warrick's icy charms are indispensable to the celebrated montage sequence opposite Welles at the breakfast table; particularly when he broaches the subject of her husband's infidelity:Emily Kane: Charles, people will think...Charles Kane: What I tell them to think!Warrick received fine reviews for her performance, and she had good roles in her next two films The Corsican Brothers (1941), with Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and Journey Into Fear (1942), opposite Joseph Cotton. Sadly, Hollywood, not knowing what to do with a well-trained, mature actress like Warrick, began to cast her into routine, forgettable fare:Mr. Winkle Goes to War (1944), China Sky (1945), and Swell Guy (1946). Disney's Song of the South (1947), was a box-office hit, and was her best film in a while, but overall, the material she received over the next few years, simply wasn't worthy of her talents.Things turned around for her in the mid-50s, when Warrick discovered the medium of television. She had regular roles on The Guiding Light (1953-54), As the World Turns (1956-60), Father of the Bride (1960-61), and was unforgettable as the sinister housekeeper, Hannah Cord, in Peyton Place (1965-67). Yet it was her 35-year run in the role of Phoebe Wallingford in All My Children (1970-2005), that Warrick achieved her greatest triumph. As the rich, intrusive matriarch of the fictitious, affluent town known as Pine Valley, Warrick found a role that could be at once gloriously hammy and quietly conniving - qualities that highlighted her renown versatility as an actress. To honor her contribution to television, Warrick received a lifetime achievement award from the Daytime Emmys last December. She is survived by three children, a grandson, and six great-grandchildren.by Michael T.
