Casablanca, 1942



I must admit that when I first saw this movie I did not understand why it is considered one of the greatest films of all time. I did not like, I got bored. But a week ago or so, stayed home with some friends and I saw, I do not know if it was for the company, the gathering-talk "to Garci" that once we had finished the film, or the very film itself, but the fact is that I really liked. And also enjoyed a lot ... and coincidences of life, a couple of days later, on TV they put a documentary about Casablanca in which Lauren Bacall recounted the details and curiosities shooting. What most struck me was how the actress, when he spoke of was her husband, she was affectionately called "Bogey." So like I did months ago with the biography of Greta Garbo, I took paper and pencil and went anontando what would be the entry blanks that you read today in this post.



Against the backdrop of World War II and an exotic city as a framework (which is easy to enter but almost impossible to leave), this film tells how the Czech resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid) needs the help of Rick (Humphrey Bogart) to escape persecution Nazi. But the latter does not risk his life for anyone but Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) ... when the time comes, Rick must choose between love or freedom of millions of people.


The appeal of Casablanca lies in the mystery, romance, intrigue, patriotism ... but those are the ingredients of many films, therefore, highlights why this film?
One possible cause is the presence of a good cast headed by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, who knew how to create an ideal atmosphere for the development of a great love story with his performances.

Released in 1942 when the world was immersed in the Second War Globally, the film captures the fervor of national pride and sacrifice. Also to be considered a classic case the film should go into the collective memory, and in fact some of his phrases have become part of popular jargon: "Play it, Sam", "This may be the beginning of a great friendship, "" We'll always have Paris " .

won the Oscar for best picture, best director and best screenplay. Interestingly none of their players won the Oscar, indeed, Ingrid Bergman was not the golden statuette nominda. Although the weather, as always acts as the best judge, has shown that this has been a greatest injustices in the history of the award, since they are the most memorable performances, acclaimed and applauded by both actors. And what about the song As times goes by ...

Casablanca has been chosen as the second best movie ever by the Amercian Film Institute after Citizien Kane.



Although now we seem like an exaggeration, during late 30's and much of the early 40's, the study produced about 50 films a year, representing a whopping tape a week . We

in 1942 and studies are booming. B. Hall Wallis, Jack Warner's right hand, was largely made this film became a classic Casablanca was just a tiny dot on the map until he found a play called Everybody Comes to Rick 's .

Each year, the Warner Brothers Irene Lee Diamond sent to New York and Europe in search of new material to produce, and that's how he found the work mentioned above. This piece is written by Murray Burnett and Joan Alison, based on the first trip to Europe was born as a distress call to the fear and chaos of people without hope, emerged at that trip, in late 30, and when the old container has already chewed smelled and what would be the wave of fascism that Europe drown in later years.
Curiously, the idea finally molds when Belgian company of some friends went to southern France and one of the stops for the various places he visited, he entered a club and thought to himself: "What a great place to frame a play! " .

Jack Warner paid more for this production than any other, and like other times in Hollywood, the name would be changed. A few years before the film had been released Algiers, starring Charles Boyer and Hedy Lamarr, and evoking all sorts romantic and exotic places, so thought that if you put the title the name of the place where the action is, evoke all those feelings and would capture the public's attention.
addition was made at the right time, since in those very moments, Casablanca was invaded and all the newspapers talked about it, so the audience could feel the tension in a more real.



Philip and Julius Epstein were chosen to shape the script and adapt it to the big screen. Known for their tremendous talent and wit, makes an exotic Casablanca and filled oasis pintoresecos characters and witty dialogue:

"What brought you to Casablanca? / My health. I came by water. / Water? what water?" We are in the desert! / Ah ... I think I misinformed. "

"What is your nationality? / Borracho" .

"Call to the airport and remember that I am pointing to the heart / That's my least vulnerable spot." However

Epstein brothers were out of work in half, then left temporarily to work with Frank Capra. So to continue the work of writing the script, hired Howard Wallis Koch had just finished The letter, along with Bette Davis. With it, the film achieved the almost metaphysical mystique and having the film ... and with a clear message: there are things worth making sacrifices.



while adapting the screenplay, were considered a very different actors to star in the film: Dennis Morgan, Ann Sheridan and Ronald Reagan. Finally, thanks to an attack of sanity only applaud (especially with respect to Reagan) decided that the deal would be known to all.
But not everything was a matter of taste or preferences, there was a problem: Ingrid Bergman was subject under contract David O. Selznick (Selznick International Pictures, whose films were distributed by United Artists), so it was necessary to make an exchange between producers: Ingrid Bergman by Olivia de Havilland.

"is the only actress who has the luminous clarity and tenderness that the character needs." Hall B. Wallis.



The connection between Bergman and Bogart was evident from the start, connected though they had little in common, because as said the actress's daughter much later: "I do not think they had had any connection outside the set. "

The dashing Paul Henreid, who filmed with Bette Davis Now, Voyager had another drawback: it had been released by RKO only to shoot the film above, however, when from the Warner made clear that it was a role the third protagonist, but with star status, there was no problem.



The secondaries are: Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Conrad Veidt, Dooley Wilson in the bowels, known as Sam, and Claude Rains, a key to the development of the plot, and certainly the secondary more outstanding.




Responsible for directing all this was Michael Curtiz, the king of action films and adventures of the Warner, the biggest examples are Captain Blood and The Adventures of Robin .
was hired by Warner Brothers, and brought directly from Europe for the study because they wanted someone Lubitsch style.
His use of shadows, camera movement and fast paced Casablanca gave a unique character. Also knew all the tricks of Hollywood, for example, the final scene of the airport, plane shown is not a real plane, was not even done to scale, so that put extra characterized by mechanical but the aircraft looked much smaller, so it became like those mechanical "dwarfs" characterized in order to keep the perspective.



Ingrid Bergman during the filming was awkward for a particular reason: it was carried out in a terribly chaotic. Curtiz was determined that all the sound was recorded live, not wanting to sound post-production, not to mention the constant script revisions ... and this must be added to the demands of the censor, Joseph Breen, always ready for any sexual reference was carried out in very subtle.

As I said above, there were changes in the day almost daily, and even more so when they returned the Epstein. Nobody knew what it would be the ultimate end, whether Ilsa would stay with her husband or her lover.

"But who do I'm at the end?!" With Henreid or Bogart? " (Ingrid Bergman to the Epstein brothers).
"When we know, will tell you." (Answering the questions the writers of Sweden).



In the 50's, the study made a television series based on the film, wanted to perpetuate the magic, but it was faster and got away. Did not surrender, and 1981, tried again with a remake. Complete failure.

The best tribute to this film was Carrotblanca , a special tribute from the Loonies toonie, with Bugs Bunny in the role of Rick and Donald Duck in Sam.



To say goodbye I leave you with this beautiful close-up of Ingrid Bergman.

E na social gathering, Chaplin coincided with Einstein. The conversation was as follows:

Dvzhenko Nobody voted for Alexander, Andy Warhol, Bernardo Bertolucci, Carol Reed, Charles Reisner, DW Griffith, Dorothy Arzner, Gregory La Cava, Jean Renoir, Luchino Visconti, Marcel Camus, Mike Nichols and Sam Wood.


personal and completely debatable conclusions:

In all three surveys I've done, I hit two of them who would win / a. This was doomed from before the investigation. If you have not noticed Do the test in your Film own blogs (who have). If you want a successful entry of comments and where you notice the people express love and special feelings for a movie, then discuss any Billy Wilder film. Totally deserved that love, indeed. Alfred Hitchcock
also arouses the admiration of the audience. It was obvious that it should appear and well above the survey. More than a film director, was the absolute master of a style.
Woody Allen surprised me for good, because one of the votes you have is mine. But not expected to be among the top three. A whole movie craftsman feelings and neuroses of mankind. Within

the top ten, it was certain that appeared William Wyler and George Cukor. I was pleasantly surprised by the appearance of Ernst Lubitsch and Fritz Lang. Orson Welles enters the top of the top ten with shoe, very bad. As badly as I think the Ingmar Bergman and Stanley Kramer.

The only two directors who had, as always, have been invisible. And invent a kind of distinction for them. Two directors from 67 directors, well, sobering, especially if the years have changed some of this invisibility of women in the world of filmmaking.

overwhelms the monopoly of Americans, Germans and British in the top ten directors.
Excel Jews talent in abundance.

For the rest, as they say, congratulations to the winners and thanks to the voters.

Greetings.

James Dean and his last film, Giant (Giant, 1956)



A September 30, 1955, 55 years ago, died on that was destined to become the new King of Hollywood , and because of this latest anniversary, I speak today This " rebellious."
Three movies were enough to dazzle a whole country, an entire industry, seeking new faces, and a new generation of Americans who also sought other idols different from their parents. However, a fatal car accident ended his life. Tormented as

characters that put his face on the big screen, today is one of the most representative icons and one of the greatest legends of cinema.

James Byron Dean was born in Marion (Indiana) a February 8, 1931, the year in which, for example, were released City Lights, Chaplin's first talkie or Mata Hari, starring Greta Garbo.

From his adolescence he felt the call of the interpretation and began acting in small plays through several villages until he got roles to play small for television, and even participated in a Pepsi commercial. But his luck would change in 1951 when he left Los Angeles for New York to study acting at the prestigious Actor's Studio .
Once there, acting on Broadway and Off Broadway circuit, and after participating in a few movies, some even as a helper or extra (sometimes "not accredited") Elia Kazan noticed him to star in her first film also earned him his first Oscar nomination, East of Eden. Next came

Rebel Without a Cause, your film most emblematic and remembered and no doubt, which has passed into history. After that the concern here in this blog, Gigante. Three 's movie "and three" blockbusters "like three suns.

Thirteen days before he died, he bought a Porsche that would put the name of "Little Bastard", and days later shot a TV commercial in which he warned young people about the dangers of car-speed combination.
This advertisement can be seen in a DVD edition of the film Rebel Without a Cause and he says a phrase that reads something like: "Beware of the speed of his car because life-saving is mine. "



magnetism and sex appeal of James Dean has stood the test of time remained virtually intact and become an inspiration to new generations of players and fans the movies.



The truth is that a film with such a title was in danger of becoming the opposite ... but nothing is further from reality, the film is a true work "Titanic."



We are facing a drama directed by George Stevens from a screenplay adapted by Fred and Ivan Guiol Moffat from the novel by Edna Ferber. One of the strengths of the film is that it is the latter interpretation of James Dean before his death and that earned him his second Oscar nomination.
In 2005 the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress U.S. as "culturally, historically and aesthetically significant."



Bick Benedict (Rock Hudson) is the head of a Texas cattle ranch, and go to Maryland to buy a thoroughbred stallion, owned by Leslie (Elizabeth Taylor). There is associated with high society area and discuss the differences between the landscapes and lifestyles between the north and south, and little by little, and despite the "rifi-rafes" initial, Bick and Leslie eventually falling in love and marrying, so that moved to live in Texas.
The differences between the customs of both parts of the country, and the behavior of Bick's sister, Luz (Mercedes McCambridge), make the situation becomes untenable.
While all this occurs, the scene Jett (James Dean) who works for the estate, but the disagreements with his boss are constant so we fired, but is rehired by Light. Their relationship is so close that when she dies she lay a land in which she discovers oil, now it also is rich and can weave their revenge against Bick ... a hatred that is spread over successive generations Benedict.



The film, very long and with great use of natural settings as a catalyst tone, maintains an appropriate pace in their first two hours, accelerating sequence of events from the last hour, making the drama and emotion are at the surface.

The film is a reflection of how the oil industry transformed the economy of the area. In addition, delves into subjects as diverse as "new rich", segregation racial and classism.



Giant premiered in November 1956 in New York with a show "galaxy" of stars and artists from the worlds of music, film and theater, in fact it was broadcast live by all TV's "The Big Apple."
was the highest grossing film for Warner Brothers until Superman premiered .



The initial allocation would be very different from this: at first thought of William Holden for the role of Bick, but the study imposed a Rock Hudson. Once signed the contract was given to someone who preferred choice as female partner, if Grace Kelly or Elizabeth Taylor. He opted for his close friend.
On the role of Jett, George Steven Alan Ladd saw in the ideal candidate, but his wife advised against it, for what she called James Dean.



The film was nominated for 10 Oscars: best picture, best director (the only category that emerged as the winner), Best Actress, Best Actor (both Hudson and Dean), Best Actress, Best adapted screenplay, editing, art direction, color, music and costumes for a film in color.
