		The Ten Commandments is a 1956 epic film from Paramount Studios in VistaVision directed by Cecil B. DeMille, which tells in the broadest Hollywood style the Bible story of Moses (Charlton Heston) as he struggles to get Pharaoh Ramses (Yul Brynner) to let the Israelites leave Egypt.

		A major exception to this, however, is the prologue of the film, narrated by the reputed journalist Edward R. Murrow, which emphasizes the relevance of Jules Verne's writings in the context of the Cold War and the nuclear age.
		Surprisingly enough, the film may never have seen the light of day due to constant funding problems, but became one of the biggest money-makers of its year, and also the crowning achievement of independent producer Michael Todd (better-known for his Todd-AO widescreen process, which was used for the film).
		The film's appeal in 1956 was due to its cinematography and colourful escapism, and looks dated now, but it remains worth seeing for the star cameos, and it does sustain a certain naive, light-hearted charm of its own.

	The Ten Commandments (1956)
		It was the highest-earning live-action film of the 1950s.
		Although a blockbuster, the film reverts to melodramatic style, with great actors adopting static attitudes, postures and gestures.
		This commanding film was the epic account of the liberation of the Hebrew people from Egyptian bondage by Egyptian prince Moses (Charlton Heston), born a Hebrew slave.

		Picasso is accompanied on film by the music of prolific composer (and another close friend) Georges Auric (Beauty and the Beast), who adapts the soundtrack to match the tone he finds in the painter's work.
		It seems even in the experimental realm of this film, its creators were afraid to rely on just the crunch and swoosh of Picasso's brush hitting the canvas.

		His manservant Passepartout in the film is a Mexican (changed from the Frenchman from the book with the casting of Cantinflas) and as such is shown to be an incorrigible chaser of women, forever to be distracted the moment he catches sight of a bit of ankle.
		He had left an indelible mark on her, as he did on everyone he met, and it’s something to be thankful for that we have something as tangible as this fine film to remember him by, a film that, with its ambition, bravado, wit and sheer charm is a fitting testament to its creator.
		Sibley comes to the film with his commentary already prepared, which means that what it lacks in spontaneity it gains in sheer depth of information that he crams in.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Giant (1956)
		Giant's reputation as James Dean's last film -- he died a few days after finishing his work on it -- is at least as large as its 202 minute running time.
		Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson are the stars, both wonderful, the latter turning in a fine performance of a complex character critical to the success of the film.
		This is one of the earliest films to deal with racism in such depth.

	Le Mystère Picasso / Le Mystere Picasso / 1956 / film review / Henri-Georges Clouzot
		When the two great men met, the film Clouzot had envisaged took a spectacularly different turn, and the result is one of the most famous and best art films ever made.
		In this film, Picasso paints onto a transparent canvas which is filmed from the other side.
		Clouzot's film, which won a jury special prize at Cannes, is gorgeous and fascinating; it's also a wee bit silly unless one takes the whole thing ironically, and tacky even if one does.

		Based on Margaret Landon's classic "Anna and the King of Siam," this filmed adaptation of the Broadway show is exquisite, with a fabulous cast and extraordinary talent behind the camera as well, with the direction of Walter Lang, choreography by Jerome Robbins, and cinematography by Leon Shamroy.
		My favorite moment in the film is when Brynner first puts his arm around Kerr's waist, in the "Shall We Dance?" number, and their chemistry together sizzles more than many of the explicit love scenes we see on the screen today.
		What is included in the film however are some of the most loved melodies and lyrics written for the musical stage, and ones that we keep humming long after the show is over.

	'giant' taste of texas - The Daily Texan - Entertainment
		When Texans are asked about their favorite Texas film, the answer is one of three distinct responses, usually linked to the generation they were born in.
		But the film's most enduring quality is in its stance on intolerance towards Mexican-Americans (played by actual Hispanics as opposed to well-tanned Caucasians), a subplot in the film that can stand alone on its importance to a community that is still neglected today in most films.
		If there are any faults to be had, they come in the addition of the copious amounts of production notes and written material, which aren't nearly as informative and hardly as entertaining as the documentaries that rehash the same material.

	Needcoffee.com DVD Review: Giant (1956)
		This is nowhere more evident that in the final shot of the film, in which--in case you didn't get it--the point of the film is driven home with a pneumatic tool.
		Sure, the film is a decent enough watch--but what fascinates me even more than the big spectacle and the ham-handed story are the performances.
		That's not just because this was his last film (he died a couple of days after his portion was wrapped), but because his screen presence is amazing.

		It is our view that the short film is a critically neglected art form and the symposium is intended as an intervention to redress this neglect.
		A conference will be organised exploring the history, aesthetic and cultural significance of the short film and we now invite proposals for papers on the history of the short, on aesthetic trends, on short film auteurs, on specific exceptional shorts.
		During this year's Cannes Film Festival we launched a search for one hundred great short films from throughout the history of cinema, from early silent film to contemporary digital work, encompassing narrative, abstract, experimental, animation, and other forms of the short.

		The film is said to star Dirk Bogarde as 007, Peter Lorre as henchman Willy Krebs, Brenda Bright as Gala Brand, and Welles himself as Sir Hugo Drax.
		The article claims 40 minutes of the film was recently discovered in the estate of the late Rank Organization producer Dayton Mace, along with the complete shooting script.
		I must admit that, although it's been fascinating - and often flattering - to follow the various arguments on the web about the article's veracity, I'm somewhat disappointed that people have tended to concentrate on the is-it-real issue, rather than its content.

	Carousel (1956 Film Soundtrack) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		On the soundtrack for the 1956 film, MacRae and Jones are in exceptional voice (following their success in 1955's Oklahoma) and the orchestra sounds glorious, but unfortunately some of the numbers were shortened, most notably "If I Loved You." Extensive production notes, an interview with Jones, and a synopsis are included.
		An argument might be made for expanded sequences appropriate to CDs longer playing time than the standard L.P. 45min., but possibly only if those sequences were still available in their original studio-recorded, pre release-print mix.
		Because of this we notice a slight difference in fidelity between the released and unreleased cuts.

	Chicanos/Latinos in Film and Television: A Short Bibliography of Materials in the UC Berkeley Libraries
		A study of films made in the United States and Mexico throughout the 20th century shows the border region, as expressed in film, remains hostage to the conflict, conquest, and distrust that exist beneath a veneer of accommodation.
		These films are self-conscious studies of the directors' principles in which union struggles serve as the vehicle for narrative analogies that express differing philosophies about a key tension in the American identity--that between individualism and community.
		Because these films represent the creation of meanings at two different synchronic sites within the culture, they officer opportunities to inspect how their messages are historically and culturally determined and how they are like, or unlike, the cultural memory of our own time.

	How to process Ansco Supreme 616 film- from 1956!
		Because the film is 50 years old, I am expecting some fog to show up when I develop the rolls, but the possible poor quality of the camera and this old film might be fun to play with, rather than the sharp quality that happens with my modern cameras!
		Assuming that's a fl and white film (and it most likely is), the original processing is likely to have been D-76 stock solution for 17 minutes at 68F.
		I recently was given 5 rolls of film from the 50's to develop: 4 rolls of Verichrome (not Pan), and one roll of un-named panchromatic film.

	Friendly Persuasion (1956) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The film is episodic but has the flow of a peaceful river; only the late raid by Confederates which causes Perkins to abandon pacifism and Cooper to be sorely tempted to kill momentarily deflect the course of the family's honesty.
		The family farm receives unwelcome guests-- raiders, among whom Mcguire risks her life to save their obnoxious pet goose; other incidents various family members survive include church meetings, a visit to the widow Hudspeth and her daughters (a lady portrayed by stalwart Marjorie Main), a County Fair, the temptation of an organ, and others.
		The script develops West's stories exactly; she supervised the film; but the lion's share of the credit goes to William Wyler, who produced and directed this masterwork.
