How To Make Fitted Tablecloths

The Petrified Forest (The Petrified Forest) 1936



Some gangsters come to a roadside bar located in the Arizona desert and taken to found there as hostages. Among them, a young poet (Leslie Howard) and the owner's daughter the establishment (Bette Davis) will soon strike up a friendship and exchange concerns. While the end may not be as everyone expects ...

The film, based on Robert Sherwood's work, it worked not only for its fidelity to the play, but by the chemistry of the three actors: Bogart with Howard and the latter with Bette Davis.

The film does not lose its original essence, and keeps everything as it was conceived for the theater, but with performances worthy of the best films: the feeling claustrophobic, perfectly suited to the narrative. And as happens in other movies, cinema than theater because with the help of the foreground we see those feelings and expressions on the actors.




The film has a connection with reality: John Dillingen, a famous gangster, had escaped from prison, giving the production an air soon Bogart could see, it based its character in the criminal fled: he studied the way they look, walk, move ... and thus was created Duke Mantee.
His struggle to play this role (which was brought face on stage) got the expected result.

The Petrified Forest was a 180 degree turn in the carrer of Humphrey Bogart, finally launched. In 1936, he was 37 years and a career quite loose on their backs, nothing memorable films. That yes, he had a burning desire to be a protagonist, and despite having succeeded on Broadway, film eluded him and had been relegated to secondary roles that have gone unnoticed. We can conclude that before this film, his career was in danger of sinking.





Leslie Howard had the rights to the work for film adaptation, which was a plus for Bogart, as Jack Warner wanted Edward G. Robinson will play the role of Duke. Leslie said the film would do if Humphrey was also, of otherwise he would also disappear from production. In gratitude, the second daughter Leslie Bogart was named in honor of Leslie Howard.

"If I fail now, never will. It's my last chance." That's what Humphrey Bogart said to a friend when the study assured him three weeks of work and a return trip to California in a bunk on a train or bus. Hal B.

Wallis, head of production at Warner Brothers, not skipped even one frame, was impressed by the performance of Humphrey Bogart: tormented and threatening, reflects the darkness and coldness and distance in his movements, giving the character an overwhelming presence and accuracy.

A few days into filming, there was talk that something extraordinary would happen, and that the movie would be a resounding success.

The shooting of the film was extended two weeks longer than expected, up to five, with a consequent increase in cost initially set. However, after the film premiered, the response was so great that Warner and Wallis rejoiced. All critics, from the scholars to the more populist, to the public, praised the film and the performances.



Unlike other gangster films in The Petrified Forest the action takes place in a lonely cafe Vivaldi lost in a desert. West is a great place for the claim, for adventure ... a site full of symbolism: a society petrified, intellectuals (represented by Leslie Howard) who see that society has become fossilized stone.

"I'm planning to be buried in the petrified forest. I had an idea that might interest you: is the graveyard of civilization what is beneath us ... a world of outmoded ideas. The desert is full of dead . That's my place. "

The gangster genre was booming at that time, which very well could see Archie Mayo: "There is too much light. I need Give me light shadows!" , he created very well that almost claustrophobic atmosphere of the coffee.

also Jack Warner and Hall B. Wallis failed to see the boom and were surrounded by the directors, screenwriters, actors, designers and ideals that give the genre know the right touch to convert these films into blockbusters authentically.



In the 50 took out a television adaptation of this movie, with Humphrey Bogart (playing the same role in the film) Lauren Bacall and Henry Fonda.





A curious and you see very clearly in this film is that the gangster characters you see in the peículas of the 30 in the Warner Brothers anticipate what would be the protagonists of films noir of the 40 (in any other study), and to portray a villain that is not purely evil.

can conclude that The Petrified Forest is the ultimate example of pre-cinema black.

Death II Death Love


as a statement? Both speak of death, so we strive to despise, both tormenting us with your name.
But death is poor. His power is limited to the body, it degrades the body. The bodies succumb between worms.
Death can not defeat the transcendent ideas. Men who want the death of the enemy or of the shadow. Men who think that killing haunts destroy what is wrong. Because
transcendent ideas still alive. I do not know to what extent men are still alive that produce them.
is said Peron lives, Evita lives. It says: Nestor lives. And not without reason. The lovers argue that empirical data are well dead. However, all that stirs the heart of a society in the form of idea, is a sign of life. "Death proof that life exists."
Death is a fact relative. Suffer from the dead? Enjoy? They writhe and gnash their teeth? Swirls Nestor knows that sparked his death?
Basically, I feel that this is different ways of approaching a story. You get half mystic death, but I say, my way see the world is Cristina painted as one of his first speeches of Nestor post mortem: "He's out there among you."
Well, it can be a very naive view of the world, but it is what I like. It belongs to The Big Fish, Burton. See the world, so that things that seem small, are in fact the very air.
Nevertheless, death has not been with the preaching of Nestor, who are his ideas. The ideas survive in an impressive way. Death hurts us every time we think we mourn, but the strength comes from that pain. Of pain is that spring flower gardens.
Hate it, is a sure sign that death can not in certain areas. Nestor died, but the haters still hate with very heavy on my shoulders.
Love is very light and beautiful. That's the biggest legacy that we left Néstor.

Dentist Recall Letter

Irremediablemente ...

direct you had sworn not a single one of my eyes tonight, knowing how much it would cost me a ban enacted.
Finally, the rain saved me the task, which appears as unassailable truth something or someone takes care of me.
however, silent on the way up my street, I looked with feigned nonchalance, afraid to find you behind the clouds, eager to find you a sign.
As always, occurs in my life, this dichotomous Crossroads ...
The night did his thing and I waited in the morning ... with the hope of blinding brightness of the sun.
In speculation, I lost the memory of this November brimming with limes and a perfume that fills everything.
As I said, is an irrefutable truth that someone cares, but there is another irrefutable truth is that there is another that makes it very hard in difficult ...

Why Does My Dogs Head Has

And now, forty-nine

Well, as I said just a year ago ... Forty-nine sounds better to 49, will I find the lyrics softer than numbers, or understand them more, or that they understand me but me.
Perhaps the proximity of the round number that inevitably becomes the half century overwhelmed me a little or that the charity returned with my mirror image that does not resemble the numbers ... they say that there are none so blind who will not see ... or was deaf will not hear? In the case, my case is the same ...
spent a whole year since that forty-and-ochosuena-better-than-48 and some things moved from place, for example, the greeting that I received last year from the low Dutch Today I sweetened magic ears from Athens and the promise of his bandoneon playing in my honor tonight at a packed house certainly was a wonderful gift.
A difficult year if any, but with many things that came to fill in some gaps waiting their turn ... a few days ago I thought about it, the things that went through my life this year and were modified for good or bad some of my feelings, some of my abilities, some of my smiles.
started with a pain in my descending branch, which became my own pain and put me in a place of helplessness, his hands tied and a number of words that were not enough to alleviate penalty; was happening, slowly, as it should .. in fade out ...
And to confirm that from no two without three, ends with a visible deterioration in my branch up made me aware of how much I angered some situations, not the situations themselves, but for what cause and as my only defense is produced which in medicine is called paradoxical effect , and obviously I can not control but with a huge effort. I became aware at last that at some time, long or short it is, I can find me in a state of total orphans.
between the two branches, the ascending and descending, but I was with my and my least. Speaking from my own
pain, words that caused or attitudes that planted, would be exhausting, both as it was for me this year. But the pain, always kept the faith and I entertained the most wonderful dreams and the same good faith made the noble words and attitudes have more weight than those who once caused the injury and believed it was time to lie down after so many battles ... without Siqueros imagine that what I believed the valley would become arid desert again.
Meanwhile, the metal reached its magical metamorphosis with the help of these two hands than a year ago were inert.
found in this way paved for hours, days, weeks and months, people filled with love me and let me know it was worth it to walk on, however hard and intricate to submit the road.
And so I came to this today, a day like any other, but for that of the conventions, was a different day ... Because absences became more visible, because the possibility that your wishes are met as he went off the flame of the candle that no one blew the queloscumplasfeliz are ... because nobody happy and fulfilled simply because if ...
was a difficult year, no doubt ... they say that what starts bad, ends bad.
say ...
But as I said, there are none so deaf as those who do not want to hear ...

Dexamethorphan With Maoi




thank emmagunst , I did see in poem form our conception of love. Understand that love is not going to a lonely island, but, for that matter, know that we are suffering with you, supporting you and mostly with walking forward with you, in your hand sore, your aching heart, with the light of your eyes sore ...


For me
love can never be
two stay
huddled in a corner
while life passes by roaring.
For me
love must always be
many fighting shoulder to shoulder
- you too, me too -
out there in the middle all,
in full life

Thesis Statement On A Raisin In The Sun

pioneers and forgotten. Women Directors.

The survey of the best classic film directors was overwhelming. Not a single vote for the filmmaker. I really do not deserve votes or is that no one knew? In the entrance and told and told and would devote its entry of justice. I promised.

Dorothy Arzner survey passed unnoticed but do you know that she was the inventor of the "giraffe".? When the actors of the 20 cast their sentences to a fixed microphone placed in front of the camera, she came up with the idea of \u200b\u200bhanging a microphone from a fishing rod and use it to follow the actors. The year was 1929.

Dorothy Arzner Arzner Dorothy was born on January 3, 1900 in San Francisco. He grew up surrounded by actors and filmmakers who frequented the "Hoffman Café" run by his father. One of his famous playmates was Charlie Chaplin.

wanted to be a doctor and drove an ambulance during the First World War. After leaving the university accepted his first job as a typesetter for film scripts. He soon began to cut and edit. He edited 52 films as an editor in chief RealArt, a subsidiary of Paramount studio.

directorial debut in 1927 for the same study and from that year until 1934 he directed 16 films for Paramount and for other studies as an independent director. Received much media attention because they are women, so that their work was watched very closely by the press.

Her films address controversial issues such as extramarital sex, pregnancy and relationships between people of different social classes. Some also saw "homoeroticism" in their movies. Dorothy Arzner is named in the book "Greta & Marlene . Sappho Goes to Hollywood ." That is why I knew of its existence. And from there I knew it I had seen a movie you and did not know, because one of my favorite actresses worked with her, Katharine Hepburn.


Clara Bow and Marceline Day in The Wild Party 1929. In Spain it was called The Mad Orgy , I suppose that long after censorship.


Other actresses who also worked with her were Claudette Colbert, Joan Crawford or Clara Bow.

In 1959 he went to the Department of Cinematography at the Drama section of the University of California-Los Angeles, as a teacher, where one student was Francis Ford Coppola .


Dorothy Arzner In 1933 he paid tribute to another woman, who "sneaked" into the world of called male professions, Amelia Earthart, an American aviator, famous for its flying brands and try the first voyage around the world on the equator. Katharine Hepburn was in charge of Amelia playing on the screen.

In 1937 Amelia océnao neglected in the Pacific.

In 2009, another woman took the life of Amelia to the screen, Mira Nair . Hillary Swank was in charge of interpreting the movie called Amelia . In its original version, the movie was called Arzner Christopher Strong, the name of the man she loved Amelia.


In the photo above, Katharine Hepburn, Amelia Earhart down. The truth is that Amelia was an air both Katharine as Hillary.


Why are the names of film directors from the early twentieth century have faded into history? Since the seventies, several authors have written books on the role of women in classical cinema. The theories are channeled basically in two ways: a sociological and a film show that uses semiotics and psychoanalysis.

From the sociological via names have rescued many film directors who did much of the seventh art. That is, make the invisible visible. Women like Alice Guy , probably the first person who made a narrative film in 1896 or Lillian Gish and Mary Pickford , movie stars who went from anonymity for fear that their careers of actresses had failed.

Mary Pickford was the first "American Wedding", the first star itself, with fans around the world. In the eyes of the spectators was an angelic face with blond curls. But Mary Pickford also directed and produced movies. Along with her husband Douglas Fairbanks , GW Griffith and Charles Chaplin founded United Artists producer which filed for bankruptcy on June 30 this year after producing countless movies.


Mary Pickford

Her friend Lillian Gish was one of the first victims of the talkies. Desencasillarse failed its image of innocence, asexuality and innocence and 31 years had to leave the cinema as if it were a museum piece in question. The stereotype that the praised himself destroyed. Molly Haskel

An analysis of female stereotypes of classic cinema films proposed. Concluded that women characters starred weak, dependent, romantic and willing to forsake all for the love of men. Following several decades of genre film made a typology of female characters: vamp, virgin, mother, professional woman, good girl ... in short, women vases without capacity decision. The female roles were rooted in the dichotomy virgin / whore, mother / wife, innocent / evil.

not the stereotype of the professional woman was safe from burning. In the movie Woman of the Year of 1942, George Stevens, Katharine Hepburn to the public called "Katharine the arrogant" playing a successful woman. Professionally was at the peak of his career, was an intelligent and independent woman but at the end of the film director decided to change the original story writer and change the final by a makeshift stage in which we see as the character Kate can not do coffee and pancake breakfast for her husband. The reason for this change as the director was to have no discomfort in the film and the audience was happy, thinking men " at least my wife knows how to do that " and women thinking " for both professional success if you can not make breakfast. "The writer never forgave him. And with good reason. Also

Philadelphia Story, George Cukor he managed for the public sympathized with the principle "Katharine the arrogant" and made it to the top of the Cary Grant movie Pulling the ground for breaking a golf club. And the public thought he disliked, to laugh at it would break the tension between the public and the actress could have fun with the movie "despite" Kate.


But we go on a tangent. We continue with the forgotten film directors like Lois Weber (1882), now seen by critics as the best silent film director of women and one of the best among men even better than some men. Was devoted to portraying social realism in his films, controversial issues as birth control, abortion and prostitution. Censorship and the harsh criticism led to the fame of his films grew like wildfire. One of his films hypocrites (the first in the mouth) is a film about the hypocrisy and corruption in big business, politics and religion.

Lois Weber's career ended with her divorce. He worked for Universal but died completely ignored by the industry that helped create.



Another director who portrayed the social realism in his movies was actress, director and screenwriter, Ida Lupino (1914). Portrayed in their movies on female sexuality, empowerment of women and other such issues. The British had written in his director's chair the word " mom was a huge rebel with a cause. In his films portray men as Hollywood portrayed women, wounded and irrational beings, weak and dependent. Tired

that Paramount only give her dumb blonde stereotype roles of got rid of her blonde boat-mounted his makeup and own production company, Filmakers.




In Spain, there were pioneers in the address. Helena Cortesin was the first film director in Spain. Produced and directed in 1922 Flower of Spain or the Legend of Torero. Arriving civil war, he emigrated to Argentia where he participates in Blood Wedding and does not return to Spain until the 50's, participating as actress in several movies.

Helena Cortesin and Federico García Lorca.


Rosario Pi (1899), was first director of talkies. Small suffered a paralysis that was limp and a cane for life. Star Films formed with producer Emilio Bringas Gutierrez and Pedro Ladron de Guevara.

His first production was a short feature film called I want to take me to Hollywood! in 1932 directed by Edgar Neville. He said Rosario: "Doña Rosario, despite a mild illness that made him walk with a cane, had the soul of producing , but lacked, unfortunately, the current account. I never could figure out how to mobilize ten or fifteen days an operator of negative boxes, some projectors and other technical personnel who need a movie, however modest . Neither I nor the artists we charged a penny, and we did everything for love, for helping this bold lady. The sets also or had to pay, because Dona Rosario convinced the owners of various houses, among them, and Ricardo Perico Chicote Urgoiti, who lent us the basement of their offices so that we leave film there. "

In 1935 he directed his first film The Bobcat and in 1938 Windmills. With the civil war he emigrated to Paris. During the years that war, Rosario works outside of Spain in the translation and production of films.

After the war he returned to Spain where they find jobs as film is removed.



A unique case in the English cinema of that time was Ana Mariscal (1923) as directed 10 peliculas.Formó with her husband his own head "Bosco Films", in common with most directors we've seen so far. Before joining

producer also formed a theater company, for Ana Mariscal started as an actress. In the decade of the 50 his star falls and decides to try to address by creating your own scripts. The recognition will come with El Camino in 1963. This does not prevent him from working as an actress on the order of other directors.

He received several awards from the circle of film writers in 1945, 1949 and 1950 by A Shadow in the Window, The Man is on track and Woman to Woman , respectively.

In recent years he lived apart from the world of cinema and devoted himself to literature.


I can not conclude without mentioning also Jacqueline Audry (1908), French film director with an extensive filmography and a director of Union author and film technicians . In the films of Jacqueline Audry was a strange mixture of conservatism and feminist ideas. His first film Les Malheurs Sophie Du was censored. Later
made a trilogy of films based on novels by the famous writer Colette being censured for showing the third extra-marital sex.

While it produced trilogy, made Olivia, based on the life of Dorothy Bussy , Which has been ranked as one of the pioneers and most impornates films on lesbianism.

I leave a bit of Olivia.

Oven Smokes When Cleaning

Bienvenido Mister Marshall. Hasta siempre Mr. Berlanga.

"The pain bothers me, but it bothers me more die" Luis García Berlanga.





From this humble little space I want to dedicate a post to one of the greats of cinema, Luis García Berlanga, seen and described by many as the best English film.
We could see about two years ago by keeping part of his legacy (in particular its Legacy) in the safes of the Instituto Cervantes, and more recently, opening in Madrid Sala Berlanga, where they can watch all his films. A TV spot for Doctors Without Borders, more or less a week, promoting other people's pain pills to raise awareness about the disease here but we have overcome the many people die in other countries, let us see him once again.

is true that talking about Luis Garcia Berlanga is also talk of Rafael Azcona, the brilliant writer with whom he collaborated in 7 of his greatest works. Although we must say that I loved the improvisational Berlanga.

An anecdote: when the ministers of Franco identified the filmmaker as a communist, Bolshevik and anarchist, the dictator ended by saying: "It's worse than that: it is a bad English."





"With him died a voice, a style, a vision of a country, a culture, its own philosophy of mankind " Jesus Ruiz Mantilla, The Country .





Born in Valencia a June 12, 1921, son of a Republican (Republican Union member) and grandson of a senator Sagasta government, by the year 36 had to go, he said, "long holiday" that ended when his father imprisoned in Tangier, and he joined the Blue Division to "soften" the retaliation of the Franco regime. Never hit shot and his father was released, but not so the young Louis did, but because their possessions were sold to pay for the life of his father. Also joined there by a girl "that I wrote or a letter and she married a close friend."
returned to Spain, he studied Law and Arts, but dropped everything to start a film career brilliantly.
was the father of Carlos García Berlanga (Kaka deLuxe, Pegamoides, Dinarama), icon and pioneer of the Movida Madrilena.


"Bardem and I were the innovators of English cinema, but we did not worry the official film."


Among more than 20 films that make his films are masterpieces such as The Executioner ; The heifer; The National Shotgun ; Plácido; All jail; Live boyfriends; Thursdays, or miracle before us today, Bienvenido Mister Marshall.
And among the prizes and awards he received are the Prince of Asturias Arts (1986), the Gold Medal of Fine Arts (1981), the National Film Award (1980), the Goya for Best Director in 1993 by All jail and awards at film festivals held throughout the length and breadth of the world (Volpi Cup at the Venice Film Festival, the Golden Garza Miami and Montreal, Cannes and Berlin that they fell at his feet). His film
Plácido was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.
in Karlovy Vary, was chosen as one of the ten most important filmmakers of the world.





The film is now way to describe you, is one of the most famous of our film and well defined as a masterpiece.





Villa del Rio is pending acuación Carmen Vargas (Lolita Sevilla), the star of the Andalusian song. The peaceful village is run by a mayor (José Isbert) dull good-natured that only seeks to give a little life to the place. Around the same time received the news of qu provide high level U.S. economic aid to the country. The mayor did not know what to do. Spoke with surprising initiatives representative Carmen Vargas (Manolo Morán), the star of Andalusia. The idea is to disguise all of Andalusian peasants and decorated the streets with the mood typical of southern Spain. Everyone gets to work, because the Americans will come loaded with dollars, and with them, achieving their dreams ... when the train approaches, everyone attends perplexed transit of the same, do make your dreams come true?





This is a wonderful comedy of manners about the Spain of the 50, in a tone of satire and criticism underground, talks about the political and economic situation of the country, based essentially on two points:

1 º Aid Marshall Plan for the U.S. to rebuild Western Europe after the war, of which Spain is at the margin;

2 º The beginning of the openness of Francoist Regime after a decade of self-sufficiency (though it was not until the 60 when they see a greater proportion.) Welcome

Mister
Marsahll marks the beginning of modern cinema in Spain and the foundations of Berlanga style: acid and bittersweet end.
was unveiled without much success, but the special jury award at the Cannes Film Festival's become an event.
The legend says that when Edward G. Robinson, a member of the jury, he saw two specific scenes (in Spain censored) was furious and banned the film more awards categories, including the Palme d'or award for best director.
The scenes are:

- One in which we see an American flag sinking into a ditch;
- one in which we see playing in the casino Berlanga Village and gambling with counterfeit dollars, in which are printed the faces of Joseph Isbert, and Lolita Sevilla Manolo Morán.

Still, the film managed to win the National Guild Award Show and Best Comedy Film, Special Mention of the FIPRESCI (International Critics Cinemotográficos), besides being described as the first English film to international standard.





The description of the English rural society is stuck:

- Power: embodied in the figure of the priest and the mayor. Others who are involved in decision are local apothecary, the gentleman or the teacher.
- The fear that has the mayor to the Government.
- The cure is a gossip is not chance, and that the teacher is single and needs the help of the "nerd" in class is not for nothing.

The role of women is especially evident in the figure of the popular singer, who barely have a voice, as she always decides his representative. The character of the folk is played by Lolita Sevilla, which was imposed by the producer of the film, Uninci, forcing the director to include it among the entire cast in a clear move to promote the singer to stand out among all the universe copleras of the time.





first solo film by the director of Valencia after his previous collaboration in the direction along with Juan Antonio Bardem in "That happy couple." In Welcome ... , Miguel Bardem and Berlanga Mihura written along with the script.

A voice-over Fernando Rey introduces and describes the place and the various characters that inhabit the town by a superb portrait of singularities that adorn each member of the town.

The funniest and most memorable scenes are:

- The proclamation of the mayor's Neighbours of Villar del Rio as your Mayor I am I owe you an explanation, and I owe that explanation I'm going to pay " (which are repeated several times);
- The song: " Americans, come to Spain and healthy fat (. ..) "I receive, Americans with joy, my mother olé, olé olé my mother and my aunt"





Despite his death, safe 1034 of the Instituto Cervantes, and re-opened in 2021, in its naciminto centeranio will see the light and will reveal its contents.

Farewell, master. Until the next entry hearts.

French Bikini Wax Diagram



Trying to capture moments of the past may be useless task ... trying to connect these moments with the present facts, may be even more useless ...
For me the signs, signals are always ...
Paul's visit to Buenos Aires and its energetic and friendly English, I brought to mind a song I heard a lot in October he left, leaving the scent of paradise floating in the air ...
It has nothing to do with anything, as everything has to do with everything ...
I remain incurable in some respects ... and I still marvel light ...

Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
We can work it out.

Think of what you're saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right.
Think of what I'm saying.
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night

Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I Have Always Thought That It's a crime
So I will ask you once again.

Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There's a chance That We Might Fall Apart Before too long
We Can Work It Out ...

Yes ... definitely, I'm incurable ...

amon ... Neither men
s tornado on each other, and the gold drain to fill up the tunnel getting truckloads growing more and more under the pavement of the palace, between the cracks of luxury .

Émile Zola. Nana fragment.


This excerpt from the book of Emilie Zola, Nana , has a simple explanation. Today I will talk about a film before film (three times) was a play inspired an opera by Verdi, La Traviata , and that before all this was a book, a book I have not read called The Lady of the Camellias , by Alexandre Dumas (son). But accidents that occur, I was reading this book that features another court, when I started watching the movie Camille (1936), directed by George Cukor and then I relation of ideas. Not that I have been to investigate the issue of the courtesans. It was pure chance.


As all of you know a courtesan was a prostitute estate, but I think the passage I have reproduced the book Nana, beautifully illustrated, which came to be a courtesan and, therefore, what came to be or Camille Camille, so named because it placed a camellia at the neck to tell men (admittedly that was subtle) that was available.

The Lady of the Camellias was based on Alexandre Dumas's mistress, Marie Duplessis, who apparently was the Miss. There you have it, showing off with their camellia, such as taxis.



But if the film has something to do with the book, Camille or Margaret or Marie should have much more heart than Nana because she fell in love, but unfortunately for him, poor kid fell in love.

When Margaret (Greta Garbo ) attends the opera, his particular friend and hunting buddy in the poor prey to melt his fortune, a woman too old to be courteous but the first to sign up for the holidays that gives Margarita , says that in the seats is the Baron de Varville (Henry Daniell ) but Margarita wrong and from the stage he spends in this case, the Garbo look lethal. As a result, rising to his box is not the only Varville baron Armand (Robert Taylor ). When your friend tells you it's late error.


When he meets Margaret Armand, it is sick with tuberculosis and has many debts that can only be overcome if it is decided by the Baron. Lo dilemma, Margarita should keep the money of Baron or Armand's eternal love, but unfortunately, not on your own will to decide.


has been said of this film is a work height of the classic romantic drama. I realize that the words drama, romantic and classical together can give the impression more of the same, the typical / topical impossible romance oldest black thread with more honey and a honeycomb. Yes, but to my surprise I saw myself at the end of the movie biting my fingernails and really looking forward to Margarita and Armand and ate partridges nurseries along the rest of his days. Greta Garbo

is superb, camera stealing involuntarily, as usually happens in all his films.



Paradoxically, it chose the more austere Hollywood star to play this queen of waste it was Margarita. Greta Garbo spent what I needed and did not need the frills. He always said he had to save to retire soon and he did.

For the interpretation made of Margarita was nominated for an Oscar. But before that, she was a goddess in Hollywood.

George Cukor directed her in her first major victory and also in his terrible defeat when in 1941, only three movies and six years later, returned to directing in the movie Women of the Two Faces , a film with a infumable script anyone know where to get, even the director, not even the Greta. Suddenly, Greta Garbo seemed ten years old. Responsible for designing the costumes for she refused to modern design clothes and left the study but not before adding " When the glamor just for Garbo, just for me." (I dedicate the phrase White Gold)

In one scene had to dance the "girl-hits " , a kind of rumba. Greta hated so many dance classes once hid behind a cypress tree in his garden when he got the dancing, shouting "Get out Rumba!"

The film was a big failure. From here several directors sought to revive the career of Greta Garbo, onto the system is trying to create a character to her that the re-elevate to stardom, but when they met with her and shared their ideas worked she said she wanted to play a clown. And thus ended the career of an actress huge in my opinion.

Camille His role is coupled with the Anna Karenina or the Ninotchka the loudest applause of his career. " is very likely that Garbo has not yet found the great man of his life, but for me, will always be" The Lady of the Camellias. " said one critic of the NY Herald Tribune.

His co-star Robert Taylor who plays the young Armand (Robert was 25 and Greta 31) gives a very good reply. Represents all the kindness and good feeling that the missing Baron Varville creating an entirely sensible and sincere to Margaret, who leads the public to stand on your side from minute one.


However, despite the good complicity of the two main actors starring my favorite scene of Margarita and the baron, when he comes home by surprise and grab a Margarita just before going to Armand. Then she asks the Baron to play the piano to see if they do not realize what was happening and when this happens Armand ring the bell and Margarita and the Baron started a satirical scene where he brutally interrogated while plays the piano and she laughs saying "be calling my lover to escape me with it" and both laugh more and more outrageously while telling truths to the face and a grand piano with a melody that carries the stress.

also makes a brief but intense appearance Lionel Barrymore in the role of the father of Robert. George Cukor


get a spectacular setting to create the atmosphere of these courtesans and their entourage of friends who were part of high society without being aristocrats, ill weigh them to aristrócatas and, above all, to their wives.

Regards and good weekend.
