Topic: Calder Willingham


  
  New Georgia Encyclopedia: Calder Willingham (1922-1995)
Calder Willingham was an accomplished novelist, playwright, and screenwriter who created some of the most memorable characters in the American cinematic and literary canons.
The novel presented a scathing and lurid assessment of the overblown machismo Willingham encountered at the Citadel.
Willingham spent the next several years as a screenwriter, working with several prominent actors and producers and cowriting such films as Paths of Glory (1957) and One-Eyed Jacks (1961).

 Calder Willingham
Best-selling author and highly respected screenwriter Calder Willingham was behind several important films of the '60s and '70s.
Willingham was born and raised in the American South, the setting of many of his subsequent novels.
As an author, Willingham made an auspicious debut in 1947 with his novel End as a Man. A graphic and sometimes shocking exposé of life in a military college, it generated considerable controversy and at one time obscenity charges were launched against the publisher, but these were later dropped.

Calder Willingham and Hamilton Basso: Dimly remembered, works that disturb and enlighten
It's only when he breaks out of the hardcast realist mode — certain passages in Reach to the Stars, the whole of Eternal Fire that we begin to hear the thrum of something eternal and disturbing come up beneath his words.
Yet in each of Calder Willingham's books there are these amazing moments.

 Graduate Review - Andrew Sarris
The Graduate has been adapted by Mike Nichols, Buck Henry, and Calder Willingham from a novel of the same title by Charles Webb.
I recently listened to some knowledgeable people parceling out writing credit to Nichols, Henry, and Willingham as if Webb had never existed, as if the quality of the film were predetermined by the quality of its script, and as if the mystique of the director counted for nought.
That is not to say that Nichols, Henry, and Willingham are not entitled to their credits, but merely that their contributions pertain more to nuance than substance, more to the how than the what.

 TIME.com: New Play in Manhattan -- Sep. 28, 1953 -- Page 1
End As a Man (adapted from his novel by Calder Willingham), though an off-Broadway production, is the first work that the new theater season can take any particular pride in.
Far from perfect, and indeed a good deal less than a play, Playwright Willingham's picture of life in a Southern military academy is for two reasons generally good theater.
Willingham's play does not reveal how much the military academy itself is to blame—either through what it fosters or what it fails to prevent.

 The Graduate (1967) - Movie Reviews
Produced by Lawrence Turman; screenplay by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry, based on the novel by Charles Webb; directed by Mike Nichols.
The story, as adapted by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham, follows the basic premise of Webb's novel: Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman), a Holden Caulfieldish college graduate, returns home to Southern California and finds he's unable to commit himself to anything.
Adoring friends and family wait to see what he's going to do with his expensive education, but Ben only hangs around his affluent parents' swimming pool, sensing a general repugnance for, and superiority to, the pretentious upper-middle-class lifestyle that surrounds him though he lacks the ambition and courage to break away from it.
