	Film History of the 1970s
		Other films that were backed by the studios reflected the tumultuous times, the discontent toward the government, lack of US credibility, and hints of conspiracy paranoia, such as in Alan J. Pakula's post-Watergate film The Parallax View (1974) with Warren Beatty as a muckraking investigator of a Senator's death.
		Films made outside the traditional Hollywood mold, with great works of character development, were beginning to win critical praise and bring in tremendous revenues.
		The film's tagline or slogan encouraged nostalgia: "Where were you in '62?" Teenage archetypes included the hot-rod loving delinquent (Paul Le Mat), the brainy student (Richard Dreyfuss), the stereotypical class president (Ron Howard), and the nerd (Charles Martin Smith).

	Columbia News ::: Alumni Works Featured at Coveted Telluride Film Festival
		Screening at the Telluride Film Festival is one of the most significant achievements for a filmmaker; and this year the works of three Columbia film division alumni, Nicole Holofcener AR'94, Shari Berman AR'95 and Robert Pulcini AR'96, were screened at the 28th annual festival, which ran from August 31 through September 3.
		Since 1974 this film event has lured film aficionados from around the world to the mountain town of Telluride, Colorado to participate in a festival that does not award prizes.
		Neither a film market nor a series of screenings for the press, Telluride focuses on the creative talents behind the films and access to them through a series of panel discussions, seminars and post-screening question and answer sessions.

		With films such as Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, he has established himself as an auteur of animation, one of the few visionaries of the genre working today.
		But, fan-pleasing calculations aside, this half of the film is absolutely touching, even when cross-cutting between the well-known story and the Liam Neeson training sessions set somewhere in the mystic East, which is locale of choice for much pulp fantasy training from The Shadow to Kung Fu.
		This over-gunned, underwritten, and badly acted film with Brad and Angelina as a modern version of Nick and Nora is shabbily done and reliant on chase scenes to stuff the spaces of an empty script likely scrawled on a martini-stained napkin.

		The Dumas novel has been filmed many times from the silent era to the present, but Lester's may be the most enjoyable of the lot.
		This marvelous film, and its sequel "The Four Musketeers," capture the spirit of Dumas.
		Lester filmed this and its sequel (The Four Musketeers) at the same time, but the studio opted to go with a sequel as the whole movie would have been too long.

		ABBA wins the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest on April 6 with their song "Waterloo." The group will go on to become the most commercially successful pop group of the decade.
		The film, which involved a fourteen-year-old being sent to what the television preview deemed a women's prison (when in reality it was a reform school), drew heavy criticism due to an all-female rape scene, the first ever seen on American television.
		The scene was deleted in subsequent re-airings after a group of girls assaulted an eight-year-old with a pop bottle, influenced by the scene in the film.

	Stavisky / 1974 / Alain Resnais / Jean-Paul Belmondo / Film review
		Stavisky’s past activities are hinted at in the film in a rather vague, sometimes conflicting way, lending the character of Serge Alexandre the halo of an enigmatic second persona.
		The film’s only fault is a sense of icy detachment which prevents the audience from really sympathising with Stavisky and his wife.
		Away from this debacle, the film proved to be a staggering success when it was released abroad, particularly in the United States and Italy.

		Executive producer David Hannay is unequivocal in his belief that conservative elements in the film industry and the government film bureaucracy ganged up against him and Harbutt and not only tried to hinder the film, but have consistently opposed any project he and Harbutt have since tried to mount.
		Gilling lucked into the film while taking a break from her studies -- prior to that she had only featured in a one shampoo commercial -- but her performance as a bikie chick and her striking good looks led a string of successful roles.
		When it came out in 1974, it was vilified by the bourgeoisie, the trendy left-wing establishment that had grown up since 1972, which was interesting because Sandy's and my politics was probably far more radically left than the people who were gently left, who were now giving us a serve.

	1974 Mexican film 'Chac' a visual banquet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It was written, produced and directed by Chilean filmmaker Rolando Klein, who studied in the UCLA film program, spent several years beating around the edges of Hollywood, and -- on the advice of director Jules Dassin -- returned to his Hispanic roots in 1972 to make this first (and apparently only) film.
		His story is an elaborate quest parable about a village suffering a terrible drought, whose wise old shaman finally throws up his hands in frustration and sends a committee of reluctant villager elders deep in the mountains to get help from a powerful diviner -- a man many of the villagers fear is a witch.
		But the most amazing thing about the film is how visually striking it is. Klein wrote: "I wanted to create the feeling of timelessness, and for that the photography had to have a classic quality to it.

	Monthly Film Bulletin May 1974
		Thus his films, although often confused or incohesive, are never less than dynamic in their readiness to tackle the issues of the day; never an aesthete pure and simple, Pabst constantly risks failure rather than abandoning his determination to explore.
		It follows her one act of giving in the film ("Never mind," she says to her sad, thin client when he tells her that he has no money, "I like you") and represents her final submission to her true nature, climaxing a life of guilelessly provocative sexuality.
		Her tightest corners-in the courtroom and on the gambling ship-are side-stepped by the introduction of major false alarms that throw everyone else into panic, knowingly filmed by Pabst from stable vantage points, to emphasise the a bsurdity of the chaos.

	DOUGLAS SLOCOMBE
		Period pieces, intimate psychological studies, exotic adventure tales and romantic comedies are just a few of the genres accommodated in an oeuvre that reinvented itself yet again in a final career lap lensing all three of Spielberg's cliffhanging 'Indiana Jones' films.
		That flexible mastery was fostered during 17 years of employment at England's legendary Ealing Studios, where Slocombe became the pre-eminent house cinematographer.
		For Huston's sadly studio-truncated drama 'Freud', he deployed "at least four different techniques within the film, all in bandw, to separate the flashbacks, the biographical story, dream sequences and so forth." George Cukor's 'Travels with My Aunt' as well as Zinnemann's 'Julia' similarly conjured wholly different looks for its contemporary scenes and romanticized memory segments.

	Les Valseuses / Going Places / 1974 / film review / Bertrand Blier
		Although the film has its strengths — mainly some very funny comic situations — it lacks the impact and maturity of Blier’s later films.
		There are just too many occasions where the film seems to lose momentum and come to a grinding halt, or ends up re-treading the same ground over and over again.
		What the film does show, beyond any question, however, is the talent of Bertrand Blier as a writer/director and the formidable ability of Gérard Depardieu, who was to go on to be one of the foremost actors of his generation.

	Madhouse Mansion (1974)
		The first half of the film is devoted to the chilling psychological cruelty inflicted on the vulnerable Talbot by his two so-called friends, who whisper to each other in his presence, play bitchy mind games on him (a certain amount of male homosexual coding is evident here), and generally
		In the second half, though, the supernatural element comes to the fore as Talbot, somewhat like the outcast Eleanor Vance in Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, is singled out by the ghosts, in this case to receive visions of the place's nasty, tragic past involving incest, alleged insanity, and fratricide.
		Interestingly, the film's second half, in which Talbot is granted access to the spectral information that his two "friends" are not privy to, can be seen as an ironic counterpart to the first half, in which Talbot was de

		The look of the film is spectacular, with the golden hue of the time when L.A. was crystal clear, and water was first found to be the most valuable resource.
		Nicholson carries the weight of the film on his shoulders perfectly.

		Of all Puccini's major operas, the intimate tragedy of Madama Butterfly is least in need of elaborate staging and might therefore benefit most from the close scrutiny of film.
		This 1974 version, however, demonstrates that Butterfly still needs a healthy injection of proscenium arch melodrama.
		The singers mime to pre-recorded music, which is occasionally disconcerting since when film demands close-ups opera provides broad gestures.
