	Maverick
		Occasionally, both Maverick brothers were seen in the same episode, usually when they teamed up to help each other out of some difficult situation or to outwit even more treacherous characters than themselves.
		During the course of the testimony it was revealed that during the strike Warners had obtained--under the table--something in the number of 100 TV scripts, and that at one time the studio had as many as 14 writers working under the pseudonym of "W. Hermanos" (Spanish for "brothers").
		A theatrical film version, Maverick, was produced in 1994 with Mel Gibson starring as Bret Maverick and Garner appearing as Bret's father; Richard Donner directed the Warner Brothers release.

	Maverick - Westerns film, movie and television series (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Maverick (dvd) - Inspired by the 1960s TV series that starred James Garner in the title role, this lightweight Western from 1994 proved to be a surprising box-office hit.
		Maverick's trying to raise the $5,000 needed to join the high-stakes contest, but that's easier said than done due to a lot of unscrupulous competition and a twisting plot of tricks and deceptions.
		It's also fun to see the rapport between Gibson and Garner, as if the present and former Mavericks were a kind of surrogate son and father, bonded by their mutual skill in charming and conning their way through tight spots.

	DVD Review - Maverick
		Expert poker player Bret Maverick (Mel Gibson) is days away from the big poker championship game which, if won, stands to make him half a million dollars (that's lots of dead presidents for the late 19th Century).
		During one of Maverick's stops, he meets up with the lovely "Mrs." Annabelle Bransford (Jodie Foster), and Marshal Zane Cooper (James Garner, who played Maverick on the original TV series from the '50s) - both of whom are on their way to the big game as well.
		While intended to be the film's climactic scenes, they never quite equal the downright rambunctious fun of the first two acts.

	Reason: That Indie Tones. - Review - book review
		Stranger Than Paradise is a tribute to those he considers "maverick American film-makers." Such "independent-spirited auteurs," he writes in the introduction, are the reason he thinks there's "still...hope for the American cinema." Though the claim is somewhat hyperbolic, it's still a legitimate project--critics should seek out the best.
		Such films are almost certainly being made at as high a rate as they were 25 years ago, maybe higher--it's just that the studios aren't as directly involved (not a bad thing, incidentally, for auteurs seeking more creative freedom).
		Instead, the films come from a number of smaller releasing companies (e.g., USA Films, Strand, Fine Line, Artisan) or are distributed by divisions of major studios dedicated to "art films" (e.g., Sony Classics, Paramount Classics, Fox Searchlight, and Disney-o wned Miramax).

	Guardian \| Off-screen violence gets maverick director's film pulled from festival
		US film director Larry Clark has had his latest work withdrawn from its inaugural showing in Britain, after starting a fight in which he tried to choke his British distributor.
		The fracas broke out at 10pm on Thursday night, at the restaurant of the Charlotte Street hotel in north Soho, as a party of 14 from Metro Tartan held a dinner in honour of the director, at which they were to discuss interviews to be held next day.
		The distributor then took the decision to withdraw the film from the festival, on the grounds that it could not condone such behaviour.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Radley Metzger: Dark Odyssey and Little Mother
		Metzger based the film on a Peron biography called Woman with a Whip — a too-suitable nickname for the ambitious Marina, whose public face of virtue, populism, and caring masks a sluttish and murderous personality.
		The director is typically convoluted in exploring this life — past and present gracefully interweave in flashbacks and flashforwards that show the extremes of her personality and her unlimited ambition.
		The film opens at a decisive moment — a Christmas rally in the public square for President and Mrs.

		Coming up with a budget for a good film, however small in the scheme of things, is just as hard, if not harder, than coming up with one for a summer blockbuster.
		The other challenge is that almost all successful "indie film" directors, all of whom are presented and assessed in this study, simply see the film as a stepping stone and end up being swallowed up by the system once the doors of Hollywood are opened.

	A Maverick Draws Fire in Film, Too - New York Times
		Mark Cuban, the film producer and Mavericks' owner, says that his detractors have it wrong and that "The War Within" is pro-American.
		In nearly six years as the Dallas Mavericks' owner, Cuban has drawn hefty fines from the commissioner's office, curious glances from other owners and acerbic broadsides from columnists and talk-show hosts.
		Those accusations stem from Cuban's role as the executive producer of "The War Within," a film that depicts the inner struggle of a would-be terrorist.
