Captain America and the Falcon #164 (Englehart/Weiss, Aug 1973). Woof. Nightshade is A Lot. Like Moondragon, she’s a hyper-sexualized scientist. But Cap recognizes her as “a little girl … playing dress-up.” Her scheme is to produce an army of werewolves for the Yellow Claw. So there’s just a lot of racial and sexual politics encoded here that I don’t feel prepared to parse.

Elvis Presley Events In History Today The 21st November in 1964 Is Sixteenth Movie Was Premiered In Hollywood. Roustabout By Paramount.

Elvis Presley’s sixteenth movie was the 1964 Paramount film 'Roustabout'.

Playing opposite Barbara Stanwyck this time out in Roustabout, Elvis Presley was in awe of his costar and worked hard to live up to her professional standards. Unfortunately, the scriptwriters were less demanding of themselves, and the film suffers from banal dialogue and predictable plotting. Elvis Presley starred as Charlie Rogers, a drifter with a chip on his shoulder who lands a job as a roustabout, or handyman, with a down-and-out carnival operated by strong-willed Maggie Morgan, played by Stanwyck. When Charlie breaks into song on the midway one day, throngs of young people flock to hear him sing. As news of his talent spreads, Maggie's carnival begins to turn a tidy profit. Charlie's good fortune continues as Cathy, a beautiful young carnival worker played by Joan Freeman, takes a romantic interest in him. However, after a misunderstanding involving a customer's missing wallet, Maggie and Cathy chide Charlie for his selfish attitudes. The embittered young man quits Maggie's outfit to work for a rival carnival. When Maggie's carnival starts to go under, Charlie returns with enough money to ward off the creditors. His unselfish act wins Maggie's respect as well as Cathy's heart. Having at one time been a carnival worker, the idea for a picture with a carnival background had been that of Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis Presley’s manager. However, Colonel was adamant that the movie 'not cheapen carnival life....that this was a wholesome way of life in which the participants had a legitimate pride'.

The movie was first announced in May of 1961, but production was delayed until March of 1964. In the time between there were changes. Among them were: that the working title went from 'Right This Way Folks' to 'Roustabout'; that Elvis Presley’s character name changed from Charlie Main to Charlie Rogers; and that the character of carnival owner Maggie Moore changed to Maggie Morgan; and that the actress chosen to play Morgan changed from Mae West to Barbara Stanwyck. The writers were Anthony Lawrence and Allan Weiss.

Anthony Lawrence later worked on the scripts for the Elvis movies 'Paradise Hawaiian Style' and 'Easy Come, Easy Go' and the 1979 TV biopic 'Elvis', starring Kurt Russell in the title role. Among his other credits are a number of TV series including 'The Fugitive', 'Hawaii Five-O', 'Cannon', 'Quincy' and 'The Blue Knight'.

Allan Weiss was the screenwriter for the Elvis Presley’s flims 'Blue Hawaii', 'Girls! Girls! Girls!', 'Fun In Acapulco', 'Paradise Hawaiian Style' and 'Easy Come, Easy Go'. He once remarked that the scripts were written to producer Hal Wallis's specifications: 'Wallis kept the screenplays shallow'.

'I was asked to create a believable framework for twelve songs and lots of girls'. However true this was, both Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Weiss received a nomination from the Writers Guild of America in 1965 for their work on 'Roustabout' as the Best Written American Musical of 1964.

The director was John Rich and this was his first time to work with Elvis Presley He came from a strong background in TV, having directed such series as 'Our Miss Brooks', 'I Married Joan', 'Gunsmoke', 'The Rifleman', 'The Andy Griffith Show', 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' and 'Gilligan's Island'. He was anxious to break into film directing with Hal Wallis. He wasn't impressed with Elvis Presley’s Memphis Mafia entourage and their constant hanging around and playing practical jokes on one another. Elvis Presley told Mr. Rich, '...when these damn movies cease to be fun, I'll stop doing them. And if my guys go, (expletive), so do I'. Elvis Presley and Mr. Rich had gotten off to a shaky start when Elvis Presley cajoled the director into allowing him to do his own stunt fight, which was very uncommon then due to the possibility of the star's being hurt and shutting down production. When Elvis Presley indeed was hurt in the stunt and required several stitches above his eye, Mr. Rich was afraid to tell Hal Wallis that he'd allowed their star to become injured. Then he came up with a plan to write into the script the bandage that covered the stitches and thus production wasn't halted and Wallis was appeased. John Rich later directed Elvis in 'Easy Come, Easy Go'. By that time he was disillusioned with Hal Wallis and his methods and had developed a respect for Elvis Presley And No Big Star Had Ever Put Him Straight Like He Did When He Told If These Damn Movies Cease To Be Fun I’ll Stop Doing Them. He Really Admired And Respected Elvis Presley For Standing Up And Speaking Is Mind Although Parker Wasn’t Happy As He Pulled Elvis Presley Up Rich returned to directing TV series including such programs as 'All In The Family', 'Sanford and Son', 'Maude', 'The Jeffersons', 'Barney Miller', 'Newhart', 'Dear John' and 'Murphy Brown' among others. He has received many accolades including seven Emmy nominations with three Emmy wins.

On February 26, 1964, Elvis Presley reported to Paramount for pre-production. He started with soundtrack recording sessions at Radio Recorders of Hollywood. On March 3, Elvis Presley recorded the version of the title song 'Roustabout' that was written by Otis Blackwell and Winfield Scott. It was not used in the film. Instead they used a different song with the same title written by Bill Giant, Bernie Baum and Florence Kaye.

Elvis Presley recorded his vocals for that second song on April 29, 1964 after the principal photography was shot. An acetate of Elvis Presley’s long-thought-lost Blackwell/Scott song was found in Winfield Scott's basement and RCA first released it as a bonus track on the 2003 Elvis 2nd To None album. To differentiate it from the one used in the movie, the title was changed to 'I'm a Roustabout'.

Elvis Presley became frustrated during these sessions when he wanted The Jordanaires to back him up on a song that he would be seen singing alone in the film while riding a motorcycle down the road.

One of the producers questioned him as to where the backup singers would be in the shot.

Elvis Presley snapped back, 'The same damn place as the band!'

One of the songs in the film, 'It's A Wonderful World', written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett, was for a time in contention for an Academy Award nomination as Best Song.

For authenticity in Elvis Presley’s sixteenth film, 'Roustabout', a real carnival was employed and set up on land near Thousand Oaks, California. This was one of the locations used for exterior shots in the movie. The interior shots used three connecting sound stages (Nos. 12, 14 and 15) on the Paramount lot. The doors between them were opened up to make them into one huge stage, which was needed to accommodate the set for the big tent scenes. This was the first time in the history of the studio that they had done this.

Dread by the Decade: Der Student von Prag

👻 My Kofi ❤️

English Title: The Student of Prague Source Material: Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, "William Wilson" by Edgar Allan Poe, and “The December Night” by W.S. Merwin Year: 1913 Genre: Occult, Gothic Rating: Unrated (Suggested: PG) Country of Origin: German Empire Language: Silent Runtime: 1 hour 25 minutes

Director: Stellan Rye Cinematographer: Guido Seeber Writer: Hanns Heinz Ewers Composer: Josef Weiss Cast: Paul Wegener, John Gottowt, Grete Berger, Lyda Salmonova, Lothar Körner

Plot: When an impoverished student falls in love with a countess, he makes a deal for gold with a shady stranger.

Review: Though it tells a familiar morality tale, the film is elevated by engaging leads, impressive effects, and a provocative ending.

Overall Rating: 4/5

Story: 4/5 - While not the most unique, its well-done pacing and sympathetic characters prevent it from feeling stale.

Performances: 4/5 - Wegener and Berger are believable as lovesick people trapped by their stations in life, and Gottowt’s Scapinelli is wonderfully hammy but sinister.

Cinematography: 4/5 - Well framed and varied shots with solid lighting. The use of shadow during Balduin’s card game stands out.

Editing: 3/5

Music: 2.5 - Not memorable.

Effects: 4/5 - The effects and editing used to create the doppelgänger effect are near seamless.

Sets: 3/5 - Prague’s architecture should have been featured more, but the sets are still realistic and well decorated.

Costumes and Make-Up: 4/5 - High quality and mostly period appropriate. Scapinelli’s make-up and beard are great.

Trigger Warnings:

Incest (the countess is betrothed against her will to her cousin)

Brian Jones at Stones´ Office 46A Maddox Street in 1968

"This concert was Brian's last live appearance. He was by now completely disenchanted with the general pop scene, and told everyone he was hung up on electronic and experimental sounds. He should have been encouraged in this, but Mick's possesiveness reappeared when the manufacturers of the newly invented Moog synthesizer sent a representative to London to teach him how to operate the complex instrument, with it's his huge variety of sounds; this was to help him write the score for the film Performance. Mick never mastered the instrument, which could have been very useful for the Stones too, but no one else ever had the chance to get to grips with it when his interest dimmed. Significantly, Brian said that if there was no room for electronic and experimental sound on the Stones' new album, he would like to do something separately." - Bill Wyman: Stone Alone

postscript - "Jon Weiss, the Man from Moog, who traveled to London in the summer of 1968 with a series of black carrying cases that contained the component parts of the Moog Series III modular synthesizer. His students in London were to be the Rolling Stones, whose manager, Allan Klein, had managed to convince Robert Moog that, for promotional purposes, the Stones would receive a Moog synthesizer and a week’s free tuition..."
