Комментарии: As a youngster we dropped for Merle in per night in Paradise — an easy method cheezy confection by which she actually is combined with Turhan Bey. The looked at Merle crossing paths with Maria Montez within the Universal commisary is just too delicious. David, I recall Powell stating that and in addition thought it had been insanely odd. We have the impression that a lot of Hollywood individuals, whatever form of casual slurs they may utter, simply sort of shrugged it off—when these weren’t resting with both sexes like rabbits in temperature, this is certainly. (that isn’t a critique, brain you, i believe the part that is rabbits-in-heat certainly one of Hollywood’s great charms. ) We have heard of Turhan Bey extravaganza and seeing Oberon in costume you think that people were consciously ignoring the obvious for it just makes. It had been exactly about deniability, i assume. P.S. Warmest congrats regarding the Red Shoes gig!! Which is a pleasure to read. To commemorate the bicentenary of Chopin’s delivery this I’m hoping to track down and re-watch A Song to Remember, with Cornel Wilde as Chopin and Queenie herself as George Sand, always trying to steal Chopin away to Majorca year. We recall it as being a undoubtedly terrible movie, but i am not exactly the snob I happened to be once I saw it (or maybe an unusual sort of snob). It will have a minumum of one priceless scene, though: while Chopin, newly found its way to Paris from Poland, will be told he is too old to be a kid prodigy ( that he truly is), he hears their music being played into the space across the street. Whom must certanly be playing it nevertheless the planet’s best pianist, Franz Liszt? Chopin joins within the performance, so that as the 2 males shake arms, each goes on playing the songs, one hand each. Ridiculous. Marvellous. My fave rabbit-in-heat has been Burt Lancaster. David, my favorite RIH is Oliver Reed. He had been therefore unapologetically sleazy it becomes actually endearing. Estienne, we saw the Chopin movie many years and many years ago, and I also do not remember that scene. I really do keep in mind Paul Muni likely to see Oberon-as-Sand whenever Chopin is dying. She is posing for a painter (wait she isn’t about to go running off to some deathbed for it) and icily tells Muni. I am able to nevertheless remember her snapping, «Continue, Mr. Delacroix! » But that is about all I am able to dredge up from memory. I bet it appears great, however. Anybody seen Queenie in This Love of Ours, dir. William Dieterle? May be worthwhile, with him during the helm. Showing on which occurred with Oberon, things have not changed that much. The born that is hawaiian Q had to visit Hong Kong in order to become a film star. She actually is only gotten a few supporting functions in big Hollywood films, although a revival of this TV series Nikita might alert the masses from what us Hong Kong movie watchers have actually recognized for a long time. Nor may be the demand racially casting that is correct to the part regarding the hemisphere, as there were complaints regarding Ms. Quigley’s starring when you look at the period epic Three Kingdoms. Ah, but Song to keep in mind has its own priceless scenes (though i am hoping my memory is not playing tricks): «If he continues this concert trip it will probably literally and also destroy him! » «Discontinue that alleged polonaise nonsense! » Ida Lupino as Cathy, though We hear Yojimboen clucking skeptically 3,000 kilometers away. In reality, Delacroix’s portrait of Sand had been a dual portrait with Chopin (here is the famous one on innumerable Chopin tracks). He later slice the canvas in 2. Peter, whenever Lincoln Center revived Carousel a bit straight right back they cast a black colored woman in an integral role and also you would not believe the whining from many people. Maggie Q should indeed be great, she has that don’t-fuck-with-me-I’m-a-goddess quality that I revere in every my feminine stars. XT, i did not also understand Delacroix actually painted Sand, I was thinking which was the moviemakers saying, «let’s slot an additional duration celebrity! » the method they many times did. Now I seem to recall that there is an awful lot of «should Chopin FIGHT for Poland! » stuff that I cast back my memory. Can it be on DVD, We wonder? Siren, did you ever reach start to see the Epic That Never had been? We discussed it here a few years ago if I recall. I am to you regarding the Merle appeal. Extremely stunning, but little draw. June Duprez, on the other side hand, place the whammy on me personally years back. When American film Classics revealed American film classics (without disruption, believe it or not), I viewed (and re-watched) June within the faux horror movie, The Brighton Strangler (1945). No major accomplishment, however it had a weird aura about any of it. Forgive my stupidity, exactly what’s a bunny in temperature? We read a little about Merle Oberon’s denial of her mom into the Norma Shearer biography. I possibly couldn’t help but hate her a little. We have pale epidermis and thus does my mom but my grandmother is really a dark-skinned dominican girl with blended history of Spanish, Taino and African. My mom (nor we for instance) would never ever deny her, or conceal her, or refer to her as such a thing aside from exactly just just what this woman is. I am aware that Merle Oberon originates from another right time, but i could never ever reconcile the denial of just one very very own’s history. In my opinion it is simply simple incorrect. Great post! Many thanks. Siren, if we had been adept at these plain things i’d offer a web link to D’s Sand portrait. Delacroix ended up being a really good friend of Chopin and Sand. I believe all of us agree totally that the recording of imaginative genius (ok, perhaps maybe not Sand, though she ended up being a fantastic girl) is hopeless. The reason why, i do believe, Impromptu did wonders had been so it portrayed contemporary «creative» kinds masquerading as Chopin, Liszt (Julian Sands, for Jesus’s benefit! ), Delacroix, Sand (do not keep in mind if Musset made the cut). Flickhead, which is simply me choosing an animal that appears to have a dynamic love life. We guess I possibly could also provide gone with kitties or dogs and sometimes even pigeons. Raquelle, this piece that is whole me determining whether or perhaps not to hate Merle. We nevertheless haven’t made my brain and possibly We never will. I might simply simply take every thing authored by Higham and Moseley having a grain that is huge of, honestly. Oberon had been an extremely actress that is good. Wuthering Heights had been great along with her performance in Divorce of Lady X revealed her comic talent also. In addition like Beloved Enemy and First works Courage with Brian Aherne. I’m not sure why Oberon is really so frequently maligned, frankly. I usually seen her known as simply gorgeous and that bothers me personally. Demonstrably everybody is eligible to their viewpoint, but we wonder exactly how much gossip about her remedy for her mother effect people’s judgment of her skill. Sweet to see some shout-outs to June Duprez. None however the heart that is lonely a definitely better movie on her being with it. I do believe that Cathy in «WUTHERING HEIGHTS» had been certainly one of her most useful functions. Oberon ended up being wild sufficient when you look at the part without going over-the-top. And I also question that Wyler could have permitted her to portray Cathy such a manner that is over-emotional. Have actually I ever been a major fan of oberon? No, I have never. But I nevertheless genuinely believe that she had been a fairly damn actress that is good the role demanded it. Wyler’s »Wuthering Heights» is decent in many respects, it receives the nature that is brutal of course relations into the guide and Olivier is Heathcliff but Merle Oberon is simply too innocent and too good which Cathy was not. http://openleft.ru/?p=36063 Один шаг действительного движения важнее целой дюжины программ (Маркс) Wed, 31 Jul 2019 16:07:56 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26
