	Joshua Logan's "Fanny" vs Pagnol's (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The 1961 film sunders this aspect of the original entirely by making Fanny's son be a mere eight years old at the time of the death of Panisse (the elderly merchant who had married Fanny after she had begun carrying Marius's child).
		In the 1961 version, Panisse (played by Maurice Chevalier) is alive at the time of the search for Marius; in the original, it had been Panisse's death early in the third installment that had led to the revelation of the false paternity and the search that followed from this knowledge.
		Fanny admits that her nights with Panisse were without the vigor of what she'd had experienced with Marius, and that she missed out on the additional children she would have had were it not for Panisse's advanced age.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Fanny and Alexander at Epinions.com
		Fanny and Alexander (1982) was Ingmar Bergman’s last major feature film, although he continued to work in theater and for Swedish television for another decade-and-a-half at least.
		Fanny and Alexander was Bergman’s first film in full colorization (although Cries and Whispers was filmed in a bizarre kind of red-and-white technology) and was thus already a departure in cinematographic approach.
		Fanny is so little developed as a character as to make the title of the film something of a misnomer.

	AfterEllen.com - Review of The Queer Movie Poster Book
		Many of these movies featured a “real” lesbian who had an affair with a temporarily straight (or bi-curious) woman, who typically went back to heterosexuality by the end of the movie.
		Olson notes that while the majority of dykesploitation movies were not positive representations of lesbianism, a few of them actually mentioned the existence of a lesbian community and suggested marketing to them—something that Hollywood did not begin doing in earnest until the 1990s.
		The bisexual movies included tend to be about a woman and two men, and rarely actually grapple with what it means to be bisexual, but the section on queers of color points out several films that are worth taking a look at, including The Watermelon Woman (1996).

	La Dolce Vita (1961) Starring: Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg, Anouk Aimée - Three Movie Buffs Review
		This loooooooooooooooooong movie, while containing some well done visuals, is so completely boring that any interest you might have is completely washed away 20 minutes or so into the movie.
		If I hadn't known this movie was directed by an 'artist', I would have assumed it was an amateur's first attempt at directing.
		If a movie is truly great, it will also make me think, either with a deep plot, symbolism, or multi-layered characters, but all of these things must be subordinate to the story and entertainment.

	Harvey Lembeck and the Ratz and Mice Cast Music of the Beach Party Movies
		The gang is introduced early on in Beach Party and have a key role in that film, as not only the opponents of the Surfers but of the adult "love interest" Professor Robert O. Sutwell.
		John Macchia ("Joey") also appeared in five movies as a Rat (he was absent in Bikini Beach, in which he was replaced by Frank Alesia, in his sole "biker" appearance).
		In some films, she also acts as the gang's "moral compass," always being the first to express doubts about Lembeck's latest crackpot scheme (in How to Stuff A Wild Bikini, Puss whines "heaer he goeees agaaaain...." when Von Zipper announces his futile infatuation with one of the beach bunnies).

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		But maybe it’s because not once in the past four years did anybody think of organizing a festival of films in Chicago that all happen to be beautiful.
		If I’m not mistaken, this is one of the few segments directed by Wenders, and the topic is a meditation on the implications of Wenders’s involvement in the film—a self-reflexive interlude inspired by the fact that Wenders is trying to imitate Antonioni’s style in the portions of the film he directs.
		Mastroianni and Moreau were the stars of Antonioni’s 1961 feature La notte—the middle film in the trilogy that began with L’avventura and ended with Eclipse—so their presence constitutes a reference to his earlier work.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Tout Truffaut" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In the '60s and early '70s (the period in which I became a serious moviegoer), movie audiences greeted each new Truffaut film as a visit from a beloved friend.
		Perhaps they looked at the freedom and passion of "Jules and Jim" (1961) and -- ruinous though the passion depicted in that film is -- saw a vision of everything they wanted out of life.
		But at their most lyrical -- and Truffaut was one of the three or four most lyrical filmmakers the movies have given us -- Truffaut's films made you feel as if the sun were singing to you.

	Erland Josephson - Biography - Moviefone
		In these films and others, the aristocratic Josephson came to embody one type of Bergman protagonist: the modern neurotic man, aloof, introspective, and thoroughly self-centered.
		Writing under the nom de plume of Buntel Erik, Josephson co-scripted The Pleasure Garden (1961) with Bergman and All These Women (1964), and under his own name has penned several novels, poems and plays.
		Active in films outside his native Sweden, Josephson's most famous non-Bergman film role was in the U.S. production The Unbearable Lightness of Being; he also played a prominent part in Peter Greenaway's Prospero's Books (1991).

		This, in part, is why the movie outdoes most inside-showbiz stories in making itself accessible without dumbing itself down.
		Tsai's film waltzes between activity among the patrons in the auditorium and the theater's corridors, stairwells, and caverns, which are crossed, climbed, and walked by the female ticket-taker (Chen Shiang-chyi) as the evening's feature plays.
		For a movie that disappeared into a wormhole after it was released three years ago, "Donnie Darko" has done pretty well for itself.

		I saw it a few months ago when it ran for the first time (even in metropolitan movie capital L.A.!) for a couple of weeks and then disappeared (art house audiences seem to have opted for their own special territory, where older favorites like Antonioni and Resnais are only welcome as occasional curiosities).
		In "La Notte" of crucial importance to the male writer depicted in the movie is woman as muse.

	Fanny (1961) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Trivia: This production of "Fanny" began as a hit Broadway musical in 1954, with the libretto co-authored by 'Joshua Logan (I)', who also directed the show, which starred Ezio Pinza, in his last stage role before his death, as Cesar, Walter Slezak as Panisse, and Florence Henderson as Fanny.
		When the musical was filmed, Logan stayed on as director, and the film was faithful to the show, except for the fact that Logan dropped all of the songs and simply used them as background scoring.
		I've never before or since been touched so deeply by a movie.
