BORDERINCIDENT Border Incident was also Mann’s last film noir before the series of Westerns he made for MGM, mostly starring Jimmy Stewart. For additional material on 'Border Incident' and the other films of Anthony Mann, you might want to look at the following: These framing scenes’ particular qualities are clearly delineated by the ensuing shifts of setting and action: from hand to hand, Western-style in the Valley of the Vultures, to a more coordinated, cogs-in-a-complex-machine (multi-national law enforcement) arrangement in the film's central contemporary thriller-style scenes, where modern industrial society forms the backdrop. www.crimeculture.com /Contents/FilmReviews/BorderIncident.htm   (900 words)

Border Incident (1949) If you’re a cinephile purist who believes that a necessary attribute for a film noir must be the gritty urban environment of rain-swept streets and dark alleyways, check out Border Incident (1949) and your opinion will undoubtedly change. Border Incident is as uncompromising and tough as movies got in 1950 and it still packs a punch. Montalban poses as a migrant worker and partners up with an actual bracero (James Mitchell) to gain entry to the gang by paying to be smuggled across the border. www.filmmonthly.com /Noir/Articles/BorderIncident/BorderIncident.html   (900 words)

DaveChronology.htm Although the Blasters track was issued on the soundtrack, I have yet to confirm that it is actually used in the film; although this film has a certain "cult status", it is nevertheless extremely difficult to locate on the rental market - perhaps because it is as billed, "x-rated". The Blasters were invited to record a concert for public television, and were joined by legend Carl Perkins for a brilliant finale (authentic 8x10 promotional photographs from this show are extremely collectible, and have sold for $15-75 at auction); the performance was part of PBS's Sound Stage, and was recorded live in Chicago. The Blasters also had a single, "Red Rose", appear on the Slash Records compilation project entitled Slash Cuts - The U.K. Sampler (SLAP LP #8 and Demon LP #008?) - on some Demon issues it is said the song is listed as "One Red Rose". www.geocities.com /mjtolan/DaveChronology.htm   (900 words)

History of Niagara Falls Ontario Canada & Great Lakes, Old Scow, American Falls & Horseshoe Falls Niagara Falls consists of two waterfalls on the Niagara River, which marks the border between New York and Ontario, Canada: the American Falls, located on the American side of the border, and the Canadian or Horseshoe Falls located on the Canadian side. Niagara was untouched by the battles that desolated many American communities, but the region was not unaffected by the war and the issues surrounding it. Niagara was (and is) a fertile land, with a climate suitable for the cultivation of many food crops. falls.net /history   (6910 words)

Canada/US Relations US film organizations regularly take from Canada profits that they consider important to the health of their organizations, and they lobby to keep the Canadian film industry from developing. The shift in Canada is partly a result of US control of large segments of the Canadian economy, of pressures under the free trade agreements to merge the two social cultures, and a general move in the Western world towards greater reliance on market forces for the production and distribution of wealth. That means US investors hold in outright ownership plant and property in Canada, rather than investing in the country by gaining securities which may grow in value with the overall investment and which gain dividends or interest. www.ola.bc.ca /online/cf/module-4/usrel.html   (20021 words)

Between Friends/Entre Amis: United States - Canadian Border The National Film Board of Canada selected 220 of the pictures to produce the book, BETWEEN FRIENDS/ENTRE AMIS, in honour of the American Revolution Bicentennial, as an enduring expression of the friendship of Canadians for the people of the United States of America. To celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, the National Film Board of Canada commissioned a special photographic study. The people of the two countries share a 5,525-mile border which runs through woods, plains, lakes, and, in a few instances, houses. www.humanities-interactive.org /canadianborder/ex009_01.html   (287 words)

Joint Security Area (2000) Humanizing the conflict between what is essentially a single culture split into two by politics and borders, Joint Security Area is not only a nail-biting thriller, but a devastating tragedy, unfortunately (and somewhat naïvely) brought about by the best intentions. A neutral Swiss investigation team is brought into the Koreas to investigate a border shooting in the demilitarized zone that has left two North Korean border guards dead, another wounded, and a South Korean guard staggering back across the "Bridge of No Return" to his side of the line. A huge hit in its own country Joint Security Area is a fast-paced, twisty military mystery that is extremely well-acted by an ensemble cast. www.moviepie.com /filmfests/joint_security_area.htm   (150 words)

OFFOFFOFF film festival BROOKLYN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL And a German film, "Learning to Lie," is a lighthearted but earnest romantic comedy about a long-term bachelor's struggle to overcome his own commitment-phobia — another border, of sorts. The 7th annual Brooklyn International Film Festival features a group of striking independent documentaries, features and shorts that seem to have the common theme of people pushing through borders — political, social and personal. My favorite films in this year's lineup are two documentaries that fit the "border" theme precisely — one with life-and-death seriousness and one that's pure fun. www.offoffoff.com /film/2004/biff.php   (844 words)

Hannibal review Nonetheless, despite gory scenes that border on ridiculous, in Scott's hands the film is visually stunning and difficult not to admire. Scott seems to show a lot of the film through Hannibal's eyes and his fondness for Italian aethetics. Scott is careful, however, and we reconsider hiring Hannibal as a tour guide when we see the world through Clarice's point of view, and the horror she sees through a morphine haze. www.plume-noire.com /movies/reviews/hannibal.html   (925 words)

American Experience Emma Goldman Film Description PBS Denied entry into the United States for so many years, she was finally permitted, in death, to cross the border. She was buried in Chicago's Waldheim Cemetery, near the graves of the Haymarket martyrs, a group of anarchists and labor activists whose mid-1880s trial and execution had sparked Goldman's activism in America. To the tabloids, she was "Red Emma, queen of the anarchists," but many admired Goldman for her defense of labor rights, women's emancipation, birth control, and free speech. www.pbs.org /wgbh/amex/goldman/filmmore/fd.html   (453 words)

'Babe' Babe is adopted by patrician border collie Fly (voice of Miriam Margolyes), and though his new mother advises Babe on his proper place in the farm hierarchy, the piglet yearns for more than a rut and a slop-filled trough. With its population of talking beasts and "Animal Farm"-derived themes, the film is aimed at the whole family, but is a must-see for wee Orwellians. Babe is still crying over the loss when, through a fortuitous series of events, he winds up at the fairy-tale farm of Arthur Hoggett (James Cromwell), a lanky sheep herder who is as taciturn as Babe is gregarious. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/babegkempley_c026cc.htm   (491 words)

Critical Mass: Canadian Film Page However, this isn't an indication that Canadian films are not deserving of more attention, but that we are (prepare for a major rant here) overrun by flashy, high-budget, and readily-available films from south of the border. Canadian films and filmmakers face a number of challenges (which isn't too hard to figure out when you consider how many big budget American films are around). Canadian films are important to me because the best of them tell stories about what life is like as a Canadian. www.peak.sfu.ca /cmass/issue1/film.html   (491 words)

Eddie Muller 2 Both of the films you mentioned, Asphalt Jungle and Border Incident, were produced by MGM, which had the worst poster art of this period, bar none. Also, how many classic film noirs such as “The Asphalt Jungle” and “Border Incident” spawned some pretty pedestrian poster art. It all played up the names of the stars, with an excess of white space. www.noirfilm.com /BC_Eddie_Muller2.htm   (491 words)

Political Film Society - Secret Ballot The film, thus, follows the common formula of a road picture; that is, filmviewers see a slice of life in rural Iran while learning about the pervasive lack of political consciousness in the countryside. Finally, the border patrol officer drives her back to the place where a boat is supposed to pick her up at 5:30 P.M. At first dumbfounded that a female would be assigned such a job, he gradually grows to like her for her charm and persistence. Soon, a motorboat deposits a female election official (played by Nassim Abdi) on the shore; her job is to collect votes from various villages. www.geocities.com /~polfilms/secretballot.html   (574 words)

village voice > film > Remembering a Master of Precise Gestures and Cinematic Emotion by Each of his films was a drama of faith so uncompromising as to border on the absurd and, as cerebral as these movies are, their effect is far more emotional than intellectual. This is the extraordinary spell of his films: Pretending to depict the physical world with neither emotion nor estimate, he reveals not the outer world, but the inner one. Bresson's films are composed around this sense of loss. www.villagevoice.com /issues/0001/staff.php   (574 words)
