	A Bridge Too Far - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The movie's treatment of military history is somewhat misleading compared to the original book; in particular, the reasons for the delay in XXX Corps reaching the Arnhem bridge, which led to the failure of the attack, differ considerably from the book.
		Joseph E. Levine financed the $22 million budget himself.
		By the time the film was finished, Levine had raised $26 million, putting the film $4 million in the fl before it had even opened.

		Is Joseph E. Levine a barbarian, a philistine, a jerk?
		Levine was a poor Jewish boy from Boston’s West End who made it huge in New England film exhibition, then became an international legend for buying a cheap Italian spectacle, the 1958 Steve Reeves—starring Le fatiche di Ercole/Hercules, and releasing it in the USA.
		Levine is also the model for Jack Palance’s bullying, sex-crazy, anti-intellectual producer in Jean-Luc Godard’s classic Le mépris/Contempt (1963).

	Charles Webb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Buck Henry and Calder Willingham, the script writers, assumed much of the credit for the work despite taking most of the dialogue direct from the book.
		During the movie's enormous success, the producer, Joseph E. Levine, offered Webb token recognition by an additional compensation of $10,000.
		Although the book was one of the most telling American novels of the 1960s, and mainly through the film one of the most quoted, it is generally excluded from the literary canon of the period, as are his other books.

		Joseph E. Levine was the quintessential Hollywood swashbuckler producer and mogul.
		But Levine was also a dynamic creative force who possessed the tender sensibilities of an artist or poet.
		Eventually Levine sold the stunning collection to the late collector Arthur McGill, who promised publicly to give it to his local museum in Greenville, N.C. He reneged and sold the entire lot to a Japanese gallery for a reported $25 million.

	Contempt (by L. Proyect)
		Carlo Ponti and Joseph E. Levine, the producers of Jean-Luc Godard's "Contempt", were eager to make a commercial film that would appeal to a broad audience, while exploiting their "edgy" young director's notoriety.
		Levine himself had achieved some success in Hollywood making trashy versions of Greek and Roman myths.
		Although he clearly despised the sort of commercialism that Joseph E. Levine represented, there were continual reminders of his affection for its icons.

	DVD Review of Daydreamer - DVDtoons! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Famed B movie producer Joseph E. Levine was eager to get a piece of the action so he enlisted the capacity of the unproven Rankin/Bass studios to fulfill his aspirations.
		Reportedly Joseph E. Levine was so disappointed with how this film turned out that he never gave the other two pictures in the contract, “The Wacky World of Mother Goose” and “Mad Monster Party” little fanfare or promotion during their initial runs.
		If Joseph E. Levine really wanted to obtain his own “Mary Poppins” then he should have studied the film more intensely to learn why it was such a success.

	Boston.com / A&E / Movies / The box-office king
		JOSEPH E. LEVINE, one of the most innovative Hollywood producers of the postwar era, began his career in Boston.
		Throughout his career, Levine bridged the gap between high art and low trash, putting his money behind everything from B westerns and war documentaries to De Sica's "Open City" and Fellini's "8 1/2."
		Despite producing such films as "The Graduate" and "The Producers," today Levine's memory is all but erased in Hollywood.

		The Maysles' first documentary feature is an unflinching portrait of Hollywood entertainment mogul, Joseph E. Levine, following the success of Two Women staring Sophia Loren.
		Levine, the real-life personality behind Godard's crass film producer in Contempt (1963), redefined Hollywood film distribution through his entrepreneurial publicity campaigns of the 1960s.
		Revealing as much about the machinations of the Hollywood star system as it does about Levine's rise to power, Showman is a fascinating exposé of the commercialisation of the US film industry.

		Levine would be one of Hollywood's top producers, pioneering the practice of "saturation booking," opening a film in as many theaters at once that, no matter how lousy, the film was bound to make a profit.
		Levine was understandably worried about showing the Japanese version to American audiences, and thus the concept of an American "host" for the film became an necessary evil.
		But when considering the care that was taken by director Terry Morse to blend the American footage with the Japanese footage, the changes become insignificant.

		The film opens with a naked Brigitte Bardot lying stretched out on the bed and prodding her fully-dressed hubby in the many ways he loves her body parts as the camera slowly pans the icon beauty's curvaceous body and firm behind (a scene Levine forced Godard to shoot).
		The film covers an afternoon in Rome and a morning in Capri for the quarreling mismatched couple, who are about to take separate paths.
		It's talky and filled with broken rhythms and a running stream of thoughts, and is boldly told in exaggerated stylized terms (even the car crash at the end takes place away from the camera and never seems real) fitting a Godard project and not an international blockbuster as Levine desired.
