		Albert decided to study chemistry because he was attracted by the miracles of physical matter and the plant world.
		Albert realized that the animal results were not due to inactivity of the mushroom, but to insensitivity of the animal assay.
		Albert emphasized Lewin's concept of phantastica drugs "exercising their chemical power on all the senses, but they influence particularly the visual and auditory spheres as well as the general sensibility." These drugs of illusion bring about cerebral excitation in the form of hallucinations and related altered perceptions.

		Albert Lewin was both praised and derided as a 'cultured' writer-director in the forties and early fifties.
		Albert Lewin's sensitive adaptation of Somerset Maugham's 1919 book tells the story of a difficult artist who bears only a superficial resemblance to the life of Paul Gauguin, the famous painter who journeyed to the South Seas.
		Albert Basserman (Foreign Correspondent) has an unusually proactive role as a doctor of the islands and Elena Verdugo (House of Frankenstein) switches from her usual sultry Gypsy roles to play a dusky tropical naïf: devoted, unspoiled and fully made up by Max Factor.

	The Picture of Dorian Gray - page 1
		Lewin (1894-1968) was 50 at the time, a small, scholarly man who graduated from New York University, earned an MA in English from Harvard, and would have had a PhD from Columbia had he completed his thesis.
		Lewin began his climb up the ladder as a reader for Samuel Goldwyn, then graduated to script clerk, film editor, scenarist, associate producer and finally assistant to MGM executive Irving Thalberg.
		Lewin commissioned a number of Gauguin-like paintings which were photographed in Technicolor for a sequence in which they are found in a native hut.

		To paraphrase a recent comment on one of my reviews, Lewin's artistic ambitions were thought to have about them "the smell of a frustrated amateur screenwriter." He longed to make the Philistines and the Critics praise his work.
		In 1950, Lewin took leave and moved to British MGM to shoot a full color film based on a modern telling of the Legend of the Flying Dutchman.
		Albert Lewin (1894-1968) made only two other films in his career, and those were minor efforts: SAADIA (1953) and THE LIVING IDOL (1955).

		This excellent adaptation of Wilde's infamous novel is littered with characters of blurred sexuality and undescribed vice.
		The film is also the meeting point of two of Hollywood's most intriguing mavericks - Albert Lewin and Hurd Hatfield.
		Lewin's complex blend of Griffithian nightmare and moralising merges with a near-expressionist vision of Dorian's descent.

	Saadia Film Review - Time Out Film
		Lewin's weakest film, which he adapted from a French novel (Echec au destin by Francis D'Autheville), is set in Morocco and deals with the efforts of a Parisian doctor (Ferrer), abetted by the progressive, French-educated Caid (Wilde), to stamp out witch-doctoring in the villages.
		He begins with a successful field operation on lovely young Saadia (Gam), popularly believed to be possessed by devils, for acute appendicitis; whereupon the evil Fatima (Rotha) sharpens up her spells to conjure vengeful demons.
		You can see why Lewin wanted to make it, since the doctor's sceptical stance allows Lewin to pursue his own scholarly preoccupation with the rational foundations of myth and superstition.

		Scriptwriter-director Lewin brought to each of these films characteristic qualities: literate dialogue, visual excellence and a representation of interior states, notably through colourful moments of formal art among them.
		In the fin de siècle worlds of Dorian Gray and Bel Ami, Lewin sharpens the unease and implicit questioning of mores shown in his earlier Maugham adaptation and, avoiding the temptations of melodrama, he chooses specific historical milieu by which to communicate the ennui of the privileged and the corrupt.
		Lewin's next work was the weirdly romantic Pandora And The Flying Dutchman (1951), his most ambitious film, the reception of which proved a disappointment and he never rose to such heights again.

		Review: Lewin's extraordinary film is based on the story of the unfortunate sailor doomed to travel the oceans for all time until he finds a woman who loves him so much that she will sacrifice her own life for his salvation.
		The legend is updated to a Spanish village in the '30s where various men compete for the affections of Pandora, a beautiful young American (Gardner), and where Mason's mysterious yacht puts into harbour.
		Lewin combines a script of exuberant literacy with a visual splendour often bordering on the surreal.

		The Maugham story on which this film is based unabashedly profiles the profligate career of the great Paul Gauguin, and Sanders plays this introspective, cruel-streaked genius to the hilt.
		Lewin's direction is terse, swift, and often magnificent as he chronicles Strickland's meteoric career and love life, the best part of the film being that set in the tropics toward the end.
		Here a sepia tone is employed to capture some of the illustrative flavor of the paintings shown and, near the finale, employs color to potent effect.

	CineMythology
		Characters who quote as liberally and as literately as Lewin’s do always seem to be a source of unease-witness reactions to Godard’s early work, as though mere quotation were itself a pretension.
		Immediately a bell tolls and the camera dissolves –as though in response to its timeless summons– to a high angle shot of the beach, the sea and the ancient ramparts, slowly craning back to include, on the balcony of a modern apartment house, a young woman staring intently through a telescope.
		One of the pleasures of the film, in fact, is the way its disparate fragments of legend and literature coalesce into a fantasy as richly satisfying as La Belle et la Bte, as beautifully (and meaningfully) shaped as the antique pot Geoffrey the archeologist finally succeeds in reconstructing.

		Despite the high melodrama, director Albert Lewin is careful not to allow the proceedings to become too hysterical.
		The most talked about feature though of this film is undoubtedly the Technicolor ending that demonstrates the skill of the underrated Albert Lewin.
		Rather than opt for the then exciting format of colour throughout, he saves it for an end sequence that is a classic slice of cinema.

		Albert Lewin does a masterful job of writing and directing the famous novel by Oscar Wilde, but forgets to direct the film's main star.

		Lewin shot the film in fl and white, save for a couple of Technicolor shots of the portrait.

	Independent Producers: David Loew, Armand Deutsch, and Robert Stillman
		In due time producer Albert Lewin, who had become my boss at MGM, formed an independent production company with David Loew, and they took me with them.
		My career with Lewin and Loew was destined to be short because in early 1943 my draft number came up, and I had to get ready for induction into the army.
		I volunteered before I was drafted, in the spring of '43, in the hope that I could work in an army film unit.

		Not only did THE RED SHOES influence an obsessed, peripheral aesthete like Albert Lewin, not to mention song and dance men like Stanley Donen and Gene Kelley -- AN AMERICAN IN PARIS (1952); SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1953) -- it inspired the most successful producer/writer/director of his day, Joseph L. Mankiewicz.
		Brother of legendary Herman J. Mankiewicz (CITIZEN KANE, 1941), father of a future novelist (Tom) and a political expert (Frank) [the object of the Watergate Break-in], Joe Mankiewicz navigated a career which dated back to 1929 when he wrote subtitles for UFA in Germany.
		As you can see, unlike Michael Powell or Albert Lewin, Joe Mankiewicz worked at breakneck pace, literally keeping a stop watch on himself and others, fining anyone who was a minute late, or who failed to hit a mark.
