	Cinderella (1950 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the film, a young girl abused by her stepmother and step-sisters is still able to go the ball and win her prince, with the help of a fairy godmother, a half dozen mice, and a pumpkin.
		The film was directed by Clyde Geronomi, Hamilton Luske and Wilfred Jackson, adapted from the fairy tale "Cinderella", drawing primarily from the version by Charles Perrault.

	Talk:Sunset Boulevard (1950 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I changed this from Sunset Boulevard (1950 movie) because having the date as part of the name was not necessary.
		Understand the thinking behind using the "red blood" poster but I have so little respect for studio marketing departments that preserving the historical accuracy of their efforts is seldom of interest to me (there are many exceptions to prove the rule, though).
		I've created a page for the 2006 film under Sunset Boulevard (2006 film), so believe it is only proper that this page be changed to Sunset Boulevard (1950 film).

	Korean Movie Reviews for 2000: JSA, The Foul King, The Isle, Barking Dogs Never Bite, Chunhyang, Peppermint Candy, and ...
		The film is structured as a 'story within a concert' where we move between shots of the performer and the story he narrates; and unlike many narratives of this kind, the 'story' and its 'frame' interact to create something greater than the sum of its parts.
		The repetition that any film crew must suffer through in take after take and that directors and film editors must endure in re-viewing scene after scene is used nicely as we see scenes and dialogue repeated from different angles and different chronological moments.
		I think most would agree that the film's biggest strength is the flashback, with actors Song Kang-ho and Lee Byung-heon excelling in their roles.

		This film is a good measure of how SF film changed over the years, as it is the same subject matter as Le Voyage Dans la Lunes and Die Frau Im Mond.

		It is more serious than the films that come before it, and attempts to be even more scientifically correct and realistic.

	Narrative Innovations in Film Noir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Film Noir is often innovated in narrative techniques.
		The film opens with Walter Neff (MacMurray) arriving at his office in the middle of the night and delivering into a dictating machine his confession for killing a man—“for money (pause) and for a woman.” These words trigger a flashback that is occasionally narrated by his voice-over confession.
		In “Detour” the male protagonist’s voice over persistently addresses an impersonal “you”—giving the spectator the impression that he or she is the person spoken to—and assumes that the listener is smug, unsympathetic, and unbelieving.

	The Amelia Earhart Library and Film Festival
		The film is best viewed now as a clever piece of war propaganda and for its revelation that everyone of Japanese descent is a spy.
		The film shows notable restraint in dramatizing the disappearance with and Itasca-centric point of view, yet throws in an (unconsummated) affair with Paul Mantz.
		In addition to these monuments to the art of film, a variety of TV shows have featured episodes on Amelia through the decades.

	Los Olvidados / The Young and the Damned / 1950 / film review / Luis Buñuel / Luis Bunuel
		Made in the style of the Italian neo-realists, with non-professional actors and natural locations, the film is uncompromisingly brutal and pessimistic in its depiction of a group of hopeless wretches who are destined to live and die in squalid obscurity, deprived of even the most basic benefits afforded by modern society.
		The sickening cruelty displayed by the film’s “heroes” as they torment and destroy without conscience is matched by the equally grotesque society which has bred them.
		Not only is this sequence stunningly filmed, it is laden with many layers of symbolism and serves as a coda for the entire film.

	D.O.A.
		The portrayal of an innocent John Q. Public suffering punitive consequences due to a seemingly minor transgression is an essential film noir theme of the 1940's and early 1950's.
		The film opens with the camera trailing the back of Frank Bigelow (Edmund O'Brien) as he walks into the L.A. Homicide bureau accompanied by the somber Dimitri Tiomkin score.
		O'Brien was a veteran of many film noirs (Act of Murder, 711 Ocean Drive, The Hitchhiker, Shield for Murder among others) and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1954 for his portrayal of a (you guessed it) frenetic press agent in The Barefoot Contessa.

	The Nick Schager Film Project: Los Olvidados (1950): A
		The film, which earned Buñuel a much-deserved Best Director prize at 1950’s Cannes film festival, begins with the director’s voiceover proclaiming that the film does not seek to posit solutions to the (then-burgeoning) problem of youthful delinquency, and it holds true to that promise.
		Still, despite its unwillingness to succumb to preachy sentimentality, Buñuel’s film is heartbreakingly sympathetic to its pint-size ne’er-do-wells, whose troublesome antics are positioned as the unavoidable consequence of unloving and uncaring upbringings.
		The film’s ever-present farm animals come to represent innocence (Pedro’s murder of a hen while at reform school is a confused psychological repetition of his mother’s abuse), while milk, championed as a holy, revitalizing agent by numerous characters, becomes a symbol of the maternal love the kids have been denied.

		The best scene to look for is as Mr Dowd is sitting in the alley behind the bar speaking to the Doctor and nurse and the use of shadows and indirect lighting bring a strength to the scene that is usually only noted for Citizen Kane.
		Stewart is so great in so many films and this is among his best roles.
		They should not remake this film, but if they did the only acceptable actor would be Tom Hanks.

		I think this film is what it is too - a look at the life of an average family (perhaps an above average number of children - but even that wasn't all that rare).
		Enjoy this film - but please, be prepared to leave your glasses smudged with 2004 politics and standards behind - this is a treasure where we can get a glimpse of the type of characters that lived with our grand parents, great grand parents, and the like.

	Foster on Film - Film Reviews Aliens 1950-1954 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		I suppose audiences, who had little acquaintance with either clever sci-fi films (not that many had been made yet), or the written word, could be pulled in by the nearly invisible plot, but anyone literate should have been horrified by what had been done to one of the important stories of the genre.
		The simple story is filmed to generate as much paranoia as possible; the monster is unseen for most of the movie while the humans are confined in buildings with no escape.
		Since this is the '50, and viewing communists...ummm, I mean aliens...sympathetically is evil, the lead scientist is given the view that the alien is superior because it lacks emotion and sex; it would be better for all the humans to die if that would allow the alien to live.

	La ronde / Roundabout / 1950 / film review / Max Ophuls
		The brevity of the individual segments of the film does not impair the quality of the characterisation or acting performance, and there are some very impressive moments, particularly the scenes with Jean-Louis Barrault (best know for his role in Les Enfants du Paradis) and Simone Signoret (Les Diaboliques and Casque d’Or).
		The film is surprisingly — for a film of its age — pretty explicit about the sexual proclivities of the aristocracy and military men.
		Another strong point is Oscar Straus’s musical score, particularly the raconteur’s merry-go-round ballad which accompanies the film throughout, not unlike the cheery music of a real merry-go-round in a fairground.
