	Joseph L. Mankiewicz

	Joseph L. Mankiewicz
		Mankiewicz's ideal film, whether as director or producer, was something I shall call a “photoplay” – a type of cinema that was less a “movie” than a filmed play, less a storyworld with characters than a document of actors acting the sort of acting for which self-conscious dialogue…and self-conscious mime are inevitable and endless.
		Mankiewicz women are autonomous, self-reliant, intelligent decision-makers who will not be bound by the conventions and strictures of their times and circumstances.
		Mankiewicz's conspirators are men who try to manipulate the masses through speech that denigrates their enemies even as it compliments the speakers.

	The Swine who Rewrote F. Scott Fitzgerald: Joseph L. Mankiewicz as Producer
		Mankiewicz's job was to work under close studio supervision in choosing material, developing script and sets, engaging the director, actors and technicians, keeping everyone on schedule and within budget, and editing their results.
		Nonetheless, the aesthetics of the Mankiewicz photoplay prevail.
		Curiously, Mankiewicz's notions of what he thought movies should be are almost as evident in the films he merely produced for Mayer as in those he himself later wrote and directed.

	Biography for Joseph L. Mankiewicz
		Muir (1947), The Barefoot Contessa (1954), his only original screenplay, and The Honey Pot (1967) are major artistic achievements as well, showing Mankiewicz as a witty dialoguist, a master in the use of flash-back and a talented actors' director (he favoured English ones and had in Rex Harrison a kind of alter-ego on the screen).
		Mankiewicz finally ascended to the director's chair in 1946 with the period melodrama Dragonwyck and scored another hit the following year with The Ghost and Mrs.
		From that day on, Mankiewicz directed 20 films in a 26 year period, succesfully attempted every kind of movie, from Shakespeare adaptation to western, from urban sociological drama to musical, from epic film with thousands of extras to two character picture.

	A Letter To Three Wives: Fox Studio Classics (1949)
		Joseph Mankiewicz's unique intriguing comedy stars Ann Southern, Linda Darnell and Jeanne Crain as three wives who must wait out a long day to learn which of them has lost her husband to another woman.
		Mankiewicz is at his best when he digs his teeth into these topics, and the scenes crackle.
		I think Mankiewicz realized how easily the material could have gone down that path, so he steered it in the other direction.

	Amazon.ca: People Will Talk: DVD
		People Will Talk was less a movie than a conduit for the genteel liberalism of screenwriter/director Joseph M. Mankiewicz.
		Mankiewicz is more interested in being clever than humane, and in a story about what it means to be humane, he fails to make a sincere connection with the characters' inner lives.
		In the late forties, Mankiewicz was on a role with The Ghost and Mrs.

	Amazon.com: Sleuth (1972) : Video
		Joseph L. Mankiewicz had to nail the audience in some way because SLEUTH is not a play with a lot of characters and could have discouraged the viewer if the director hadn't been such a talent.
		Adapted for the screen by Anthony Schaffer, the author of the play, and directed by one of the legends of Hollywood, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, SLEUTH is the perfect movie for you if you like excellent actors, Laurence Olivier and Michaël Caine for instance, a subtle plot with unexpected twists and a superior cinematography.
		Another (innocent) trick of Mankiewicz is to film the puppets or the masks as if they were alive, you always have the feeling that the characters are not alone in the mansion.

	Operacion Ciceron (1952) de Joseph L. Mankiewicz - El Criticon
		Joseph Leo Mankiewicz partió de una historia real, que estuvo a punto de cambiar el transcurso de la II Guerra Mundial para trasladar a la gran pantalla una de las más interesantes películas del subgénero de espionaje que se hayan rodado nunca.
		Operación Cicerón no es, desde luego, de los filmes más conocidos de Mankiewicz, de hecho ni firma el guión, ni produce la película, pero es una película que resulta tan personal como cualquiera de sus más alabadas obras maestras.
		Operación Cicerón (5 fingers, 1951) es la última de las once películas que Mankiewicz dirigió para la Fox.

		JOSEPH L. Joseph Leo Mankiewicz nació el 11 de febrero de 1909 en Wilkes-Barres, Pennsylvania (Estados Unidos), en el seno de una familia de ascendencia polaca.
		Después de este film, Mankiewicz, que sustituyó a Rouben Mamoulian tras ser despedido pocos días después de comenzar a filmar, se enroló en el megaproyecto “Cleopatra” (1963), película con múltiples problemas de producción que tardó varios años en ser rodada, y que finalmente resultó ser un gran fracaso económico.
