Richard Widmark in Night and the City (Jules Dassin, 1950)
Cast: Richard Widmark, Gene Tierney, Googie Withers, Hugh Marlowe, Francis L. Sullivan, Herbert Lom, Stanislaus Zbyszko, Mike Mazurki, Charles Farrell, Ada Reeve, Ken Richmond. Screenplay: Jo Eisenger, based on a novel by Gerald Kersh. Cinematography: Mutz Greenbaum. Art direction: C.P. Norman. Film editing: Nick DeMaggio, Sidney Stone. Music: Franz Waxman. 
Bosley Crowther of the New York Times called Jules Dassin's Night and the City "a pointless, trashy yarn," "a turgid pictorial grotesque," "a melange of maggoty episodes," and a "cruel, repulsive picture of human brutishness." It makes you want to run right out and see it, doesn't it? Crowther today is generally regarded as an old foof, but Night and the City is just a little too dark to be credible, and some elements of it -- such as Richard Widmark's over-the-top performance and the expressionistic camera angles of cinematographer Mutz Greenbaum (billed as Max Greene) -- verge on film noir self-parody. Still, the great energy in Night and the City often reminds me of Dickens's forays into the underworld -- the titular city is London -- especially when it comes to character names. The chief villain (Francis L. Sullivan, imitating Sydney Greenstreet) is a Mr. Nosseross -- you almost want his given name to be Rye, but it's Philip -- and there's a minor character with the über-Dickensian name of Fergus Chilk. Widmark plays Harry Fabian, whose life is a continuous hustle, trying to gather enough money to finance his various get-rich-quick schemes. His long-suffering girlfriend, Mary Bristol (Gene Tierney, in a smaller role than her billing suggests), is a singer in a clip joint run by the Nosserosses -- Philip and his wife, Helen (Googie Withers). Eventually, Harry overreaches by trying to loosen the hold on the pro wrestling exhibition racket in London held by Kristo (Herbert Lom), whose star wrestler is known as the Strangler (Mike Mazurki). Harry cons an honest old Greek wrestler named Gregorius (Stanislaus Zbyszko) into staging a bout between Gregorius's protégé, Nikolas of Athens (Ken Richmond) and the Strangler, but everything goes to hell when Nosseross withdraws his promised financial support. There is a great wrestling scene in which Gregorius himself takes on the Strangler, who has broken Nikolas's wrist. Gregorius wins, but dies of a heart attack afterward, one of the many deaths the movie accumulates. The film makes great atmospheric use of its London setting, which was necessitated because Dassin was about to be blacklisted in Hollywood -- it's to the credit of 20th Century Fox head Darryl F. Zanuck that he warned Dassin of this and, when Dassin decided he would seek work in Europe, allowed him to make the film in London.

Sharon Waxman from The wrap definitely has some friendship with Olivia or Olivia's parents because she's using The wrap to defend Olivia as if her life depended on it and throwing massive hatred at Jason. she's saying that he's jealous of Olivia and Harry and a bad guy, the opinions of Sharon seems too personal doesn't look like a journalist but rather one of Olivia Wilde's friends. Olivia's using all her guns against Jason.
any article throwing shit at him is from her side, 100%. she has her industry connections, and she knows how to use them. this is what she does - she blames others but herself.

Takeaways From CinemaCon 2024: Not Enough Movies, Too Much Testosterone
Story by Sharon Waxman
 • 1d • 5 min read
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 11: Dwayne Johnson speaks onstage at the Walt Disney Studios Presentation during CinemaCon 2024 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on April 11, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.© TheWrap
There's some good work coming up: Universal's "Wicked" at Christmas will be incredible. Disney's "Kingdom of Planet of the Apes," coming next month, looks otherworldly. Bong Joon-ho's "Mickey 17," in which Robert Pattinson keeps dying and getting cloned, from Warners, looks insane in the best possible way. 
But the strike took its toll. The studios don't have the full complement of movies and there's no way around it: 2024 is going to be painful at the box office. The hope in the room (and there was some) is really about 2025 and 2026. 
A week in Las Vegas at the annual CinemaCon gathering of movie exhibitors with midday cocktail parties at Nobu (thanks Lionsgate) didn't mask the fact that the coming eight months of movies will be scraped together after a brutal year.
"It will be painful for moviegoers who want something other than angry shoot-em-ups, ear-shattering sound tracks and constant horror. The slates of Warner Bros., Paramount and Lionsgate particularly screamed of unrelenting testosterone and a stream of fear, anger and retribution." 
Tumblr media

"I've said it before: Is there no joy, no tenderness, no intimacy permitted as part of the moviegoing experience? Do we audiences ever get to dream? To feel awe and empathy in between the white-knuckle moments? Are Hollywood executives who greenlight the movies unfamiliar with ... y'know, kindness? Think about it please."
(Me: YES!)
Here are my CinemaCon takeaways. 
1. Disney might have had the fewest movies, but it has the biggest winners, and had the best presentation. Several years ago, Disney -- at the top of its game and in the height of arrogance -- showed up to CinemaCon and presented a giant screen with a calendar of its upcoming releases. And that was it. This year, the studio tried a lot harder, presenting delightful chunks of footage from their slate -- including a stunning glimpse of "Apes" -- and onstage patter, with everyone from Marvel's Kevin Feige to the dapper distribution chief Tony Chambers dropping the F-bomb. It was liberating, honestly. Disney's strength lies in its array of brands that cater to audiences and taste across the board, and in a year like this one it showed: movies for kids with "Inside Out 2" and "Moana 2," the latter of which was presented by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson; a sensory, four-quadrant experience like "Apes"; and a fully hilarious foray into R-rated superhero fare with "Deadpool & Wolverine." Actually, it was refreshing to not be bombarded with classic Marvel superhero fare. The studio was smart to let the movies do the talking, and the exhibitors responded with cheers of appreciation. 
2. New Line lives? The Warner Bros. slate presented by Mike DeLuca and Pam Abdy (maybe not professional moderators, but at least real humans) felt like nothing so much as New Line Cinema circa the 1990s, where DeLuca spent a decade of his career. The movies were heavy on genre -- violent action, horror and crime. So sure, "Furiosa" by George Miller with Anya Taylor-Joy, is a feast for all the senses. But by the time you got through "The Watchers" (horror), "Traps" (thriller), "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" (fantasy-horror) and Todd Phillips' follow-up to "Joker" -- "Folie a Deux" (I don't know what to call this thing, but it's mad creepy) -- the audience was begging for a reason to laugh or cry — anything but cower in fear. The movie on the Warner slate that got the strongest response from the CinemaCon audience was not made by Warner. It was the Sundance documentary "Super/Man," acquired by the studio. The trailer they showed about the courage of Christopher Reeve, the love of his wife and his devotion to his children, made everybody cry. Yeah, Hollywood, that's a thing. 
3. "Where are the women?" That's what I scrawled in my notebook after the third consecutive studio presentation and the umpteenth cast with a half-dozen men and one single woman. (Actually, it was after Paramount's animated "Transformers One" and the studio's decades-later sequel of "Gladiator 2.") Not only weren't there movies to appeal specifically to a female audience, even the so-called "broad" appeal movies have overwhelmingly male casts and a token woman. "Gladiator II" has Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington ... and Connie Nielsen. "Transformers One" has Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry and a bunch more guys ... and Scarlett Johansson🙄. This absurd imbalance was supposed to have been addressed after the awakening of #MeToo, no? Women are half the population, and we like movies, too. But you'd never know it from these slates. Lionsgate was especially egregious in trotting out a full slate of movies that were a litany of violent combat, breaking bones, machetes and knives. Guy Ritchie and Eli Roth were in the mix, of course. Keanu Reaves was in four of the movies. One guy got stabbed in the eye. "Ballerina" stars a woman (Ana de Armas) but it's no less violent for that. I don't know what they're eating over there, but it feels like a diet of nails and rawhide.

4. Universal is riding high after its Best Picture win with "Oppenheimer" and a box office performance that defied expectations in 2023.
(Oppenheimer, THE FLOP, had to stay in theaters for FIVE MONTHS, to make its bank back! Dear God!)
 And while the studio, blessedly, had a variety of films on its slate that suggested something other than just horror and violence (although they're going hard on the Blumhouse canon with sequels to "Five Nights at Freddy's" and "M3ghan"), that slate is undeniably thin. It's going to be a long wait until December, when the studio can unveil what appears to be a spectacular experience in "Wicked," starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in the first of two films. Director Jon M. Chu said the production planted 8 million tulip bulbs to create the practical effect of fields of blooms in the movie. Universal cleverly gave every attendee at their presentation a tulip that lit up in the dark and created a magical, glowing effect in the auditorium.
5. Nepo-baby alert. I would have thought that Warner Bros. would be embarrassed to bring not one but TWO M. Night Shyamalan progeny out on stage to tease their new movies. There was 22-year-old Ishana with a twist on her dad's horror in the woods genre; and 27-year-old Saleka who sang live, which was probably not a great decision for "Trap," written and directed by M. Night. But then again, the studio is merely being paid a distribution fee for movies Shyamalan has financed himself.
Good luck to the box office, and see you next year, CinemaCon!

Filmmusik bringt Leute in die Konzertsäle, die bislang nicht daran gedacht haben, dort freiwillig Zeit zu verbringen. Die Veröffentlichungen zum 90. Geburtstag von John Williams bescheren den Klassik-Labels aktuell Verkaufszahlen, die jede Krise vergessen lassen. Musik, die der Spannungskurve des Kinos dient, ist so populär, dass sie im Radio für den Konzertsaal geschriebene Werke auf die Randsendeplätze verweist. Diese Tendenzen sind auch ins Programmmuster des rbb-Kulturradios übergegangen, das nun, allen kritischen Stimmen zum Trotz, mit einem live gesendeten Konzert in die Filmmusik-Offensive geht. Die Zutaten im Großen Sendesaal sind ebenso seriös wie auf einen feinen dramaturgischen Lerneffekt hin ausgewählt. Auf dem steil aufragenden Podium hat das Deutschen Symphonie-Orchester Platz genommen, am Pult steht mit Christian Schumann nicht nur ein erfolgreicher Einspringer, sondern ein junger Dirigent, der sich ganz selbstverständlich mit dem Genre Filmmusik beschäftigt. Knut Elstermann moderiert gefühlig Außerdem hat "Radio Eins" seinen Filmkritiker Knut Elstermann als Moderator vorbeigeschickt, der das Publikum im Saal dazu einlädt, ruhig mal Emotionen zu zeigen. So gefühlig hätte Elstermann seine Aufgabe gar nicht interpretieren müssen, wo einem hier doch unentwegt Höhepunkte um die Ohren sausen. Wer je an der Macht der Filmmusik gezweifelt hat, ist noch nicht unter den Einfluss von John Williams’ „Imperial March“ aus „Star Wars“ geraten, mit dem das Konzert in wuchtiger Düsternis anhebt – und das DSO beweist, dass es auch nach einem Kinderkonzert am Mittag abends noch richtig zupacken kann. Hollywood-Sound im RBB-Sendesaal Riesenjubel nach der ersten Nummer und „Hedwig’s Theme“ aus „Harry Potter“, das nicht nur die magische Welt, sondern für viele auch das Tor zu einer Musik öffnet, die in den großen Orchesterwerken der Spätromantik wurzelt. Nicht zuletzt die vor den Nazis geflohenen Komponisten Franz Waxman und Erich Wolfgang Korngold prägten den Sound von Hollywood, der im Großen Sendesaal würdevoll wieder auflebt. Hinweise auf „symphonische Strukturen“ helfen beim Verständnis von Filmmusik wenig, ihre hörpsychologische Kraft dagegen ist ein faszinierendes Thema, geeignet für Fortsetzungen. Oder wie Dirigent Christian Schumann es formuliert: „Versuchen Sie mal, den ,Weißen Hai’ ohne Tonspur zu sehen und dabei nicht einzuschlafen.“ Moderator Elstermann hingegen wählt die Abkürzung und empfiehlt, was seinem Herz am nächsten ist: einen Besuch im Kino.
