	Cinderella (1950 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luckily, the film was a big hit, allowing Disney to carry on producing films throughout the 1950s (both animation and live-action alike) while other studios were cutting back in terms of output and quality.
		In the film, a young girl abused by her stepmother and step-sisters is still able to go the ball and win her prince, with the help of a fairy godmother, a half dozen mice, and a pumpkin.
		The film was directed by Clyde Geronomi, Hamilton Luske and Wilfred Jackson, adapted from the fairy tale "Cinderella", drawing primarily from the version by Charles Perrault.

	Talk:Sunset Boulevard (1950 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I've created a page for the 2006 film under Sunset Boulevard (2006 film), so believe it is only proper that this page be changed to Sunset Boulevard (1950 film).
		I changed this from Sunset Boulevard (1950 movie) because having the date as part of the name was not necessary.
		Then there's the DVD cover which I don't particularly like because although it shows Gloria Swanson it is not a scene from the film.

	Korean Movie Reviews for 2000: JSA, The Foul King, The Isle, Barking Dogs Never Bite, Chunhyang, Peppermint Candy, and more.
		The film is structured as a 'story within a concert' where we move between shots of the performer and the story he narrates; and unlike many narratives of this kind, the 'story' and its 'frame' interact to create something greater than the sum of its parts.
		The repetition that any film crew must suffer through in take after take and that directors and film editors must endure in re-viewing scene after scene is used nicely as we see scenes and dialogue repeated from different angles and different chronological moments.
		I think most would agree that the film's biggest strength is the flashback, with actors Song Kang-ho and Lee Byung-heon excelling in their roles.

	Argonne National Laboratory Film Badge (ca. 1950)
		Approximately two thirds of the film packet was covered with a cadmium filter.
		In the early to mid 1950s, other national laboratories began using plastic badges with multiple filters (e.g., copper, cadmium and lead) to evaluate the effective energy of the gamma rays and x-rays.
		I suspect that this particular badge was not actually used but was employed for demonstration purposes - the clip has been removed and there is no film inside.

	Cinderella (1950)
		The most noticeable variation is in having - this, remember, is a Disney film - the mice that get transformed into the coachmen and horses, plus most of the farmyard animals, able to speak to Cinderella and be her best friends.
		Cinderella is another of Disney's eternal virgin princesses who radiates an almost divine beatitude and kindness but is utterly bland as a character - she lacks the essential open-eyed plaintiveness and adorable cuteness that makes other Disney heroines such as Snow White, Lady, Beauty and Ariel memorable.
		However Cinderella's fairy godmother steps in and magically creates another for her, as well as transforming a pumpkin into a coach and the farmyard animals into coachmen, so that she can attend.

	A lot of messages in "Cinderella"
		While the 1950 animated film might be the first thing that comes to millions of minds when Cinderella is mentioned, the story of the woebegone girl existed in folklore long before Disney turned it into his most popular character save Mickey Mouse himself.
		For instance, he incorporates a scene from the Grimms' story in which Cinderella — neglected by her father and abused by her stepmother and her daughters — visits the grave of her birth mother and plants a twig that grows into a tree.
		Perhaps the most familiar versions of the story in the Western Hemisphere are "Cinderella," which was written in the 17th century by Charles Perrault, the author of the "Mother Goose Tales" and "Aschenputtel" — yet another name for the girl — published by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm in their 19th century collection of 200 folktales.

	Cinderella (1950)
		Before movie soundtracks became merchandisable, movie songs had little residual value to the film studio that owned them and were often sold off to established music companies for sheet music publication.
		Trivia: Was the first Disney film to have its songs published and copyrighted by the newly created Walt Disney Music Company.

	The Nick Schager Film Project: Los Olvidados (1950): A
		The film, which earned Buñuel a much-deserved Best Director prize at 1950’s Cannes film festival, begins with the director’s voiceover proclaiming that the film does not seek to posit solutions to the (then-burgeoning) problem of youthful delinquency, and it holds true to that promise.
		The film’s ever-present farm animals come to represent innocence (Pedro’s murder of a hen while at reform school is a confused psychological repetition of his mother’s abuse), while milk, championed as a holy, revitalizing agent by numerous characters, becomes a symbol of the maternal love the kids have been denied.
		Still, despite its unwillingness to succumb to preachy sentimentality, Buñuel’s film is heartbreakingly sympathetic to its pint-size ne’er-do-wells, whose troublesome antics are positioned as the unavoidable consequence of unloving and uncaring upbringings.

	Narrative Innovations in Film Noir
		“The Asphalt Jungle” (1950) as Film Noir if such designation deflects attention from these works as part of their primary genres, respectively private eye and crime.
		The film opens with Walter Neff (MacMurray) arriving at his office in the middle of the night and delivering into a dictating machine his confession for killing a man—“for money (pause) and for a woman.” These words trigger a flashback that is occasionally narrated by his voice-over confession.
		Film Noir is often innovated in narrative techniques.

	Los Olvidados / The Young and the Damned / 1950 / film review / Luis Buñuel / Luis Bunuel
		Made in the style of the Italian neo-realists, with non-professional actors and natural locations, the film is uncompromisingly brutal and pessimistic in its depiction of a group of hopeless wretches who are destined to live and die in squalid obscurity, deprived of even the most basic benefits afforded by modern society.
		Not only is this sequence stunningly filmed, it is laden with many layers of symbolism and serves as a coda for the entire film.
		The sickening cruelty displayed by the film’s “heroes” as they torment and destroy without conscience is matched by the equally grotesque society which has bred them.

	Destination Moon
		A box office success, Destination Moon kicked off the 1950's SF film boom.
		This film is a good measure of how SF film changed over the years, as it is the same subject matter as Le Voyage Dans la Lunes and Die Frau Im Mond.
		It is more serious than the films that come before it, and attempts to be even more scientifically correct and realistic.

		To enter a Warren Miller film is to glimpse a kind of parallel universe of physical exhilaration, a wish fulfillment dream of vast pristine spaces where the normal rules of mundane existence just don't apply.
		Film number 54, called simply Warren Miller's Journey, begins in Portillo, high in the Chilean Andes, where adventure and play are kind of the same thing.
		Warren Miller Entertainment is now owned and operated by his son Kurt, while Miller divides his time between film-making and serving as ski director at a privately-owned club in Montana.

	Cinderella: The importance and popularity of the fairytale - www.ezboard.com
		I chose this one primarily because it is the version that Walt Disney adapted for the 1950 film release.
		The films I have chosen to look at is Cinderella (walt disney 1950), Pretty Woman (early 90's) and A Cinderella Story (2004) so any comments on this would be most appreciated too.
		Also, note that Cinderella is the only blonde in the entire kingdom, to judge from the ballroom scene, thus suggesting that to be blonde is to be the most beautiful.

		Cinderella, Prince Charming, Ilene Woods-Shaughnessy (voice of Cinderella) and June Foray (voice of Lucifer the cat) walk the red carpet.
		She recounted that at the time she was starring in her own radio show and was approached by songwriters Mack David and Jerry Livingston to record a demo, as a favor, of some songs they were pitching for a movie.

	Cinderella (1950)
		The film moves at a charming pace with loads of wit, especially through the mice, who're more adorable than Cinderella herself.
		The stepmother and sisters are effectively unpleasant, even scary at times (though nowhere near as terrifying as the Evil Queen of Sleeping Beauty), and the songs are memorable and catchy, much more so than in any current Disney film.
		Also on disc one is the 30-minute "Cinderella Stories," a somewhat odd ESPN presentation hosted by Joe Namath (!), which parallels the Cinderella story with famous sporting achievements, like the 1980 Olympic ice hockey team and the career highs of soccer star Pelé.

		In the scene right after Cinderella's mouse-made dress is torn by her stepsisters, she runs out to the back of her chateau and collapses on a bench.
		In the movie "Cinderella" when Cinderella is washing the floor & Lucifer tracks dirt all over the floor, when they show the footprints, you can see that some of them are not footprints, but hidden Mickeys.
		When the stepmother locks Cinderella in her room, the key she uses has a Hidden Mickey formed by three circles on the "head" of the key.

		The Cinderella story is perhaps one of the best known and most retold tales in history.
		After her stepmother and evil stepsisters leave for the party in a hearse, Cinderella Skeleton visits a good witch who sends her off to the ball in style.
