	City As Community: The Life And Vision Of Lewis Mumford (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Mumford believed in looking beyond a mere cityscape of buildings and streets to the vibrant network of human relationships that are cities’ very raison d’etre.
		In 1931, Mumford began a long tenure at The New Yorker, writing art and architecture criticism, the latter under the heading of “The Sky Line.” This was perhaps the most influential column of its kind in the United States, with an audience composed of professionals and nonprofessionals alike.
		Yet, Mumford ultimately believed in humanity’s ability to renew itself, and it is not surprising that his ideas of the 1960s found favor with a younger generation of readers looking to change the world for the better.

		Miller makes it clear there were many Mumfords: the architectural critic and exponent of modernism and regional planning; the cultural and political commentator; the historian and teacher.
		Mumford, the prophet of architectural modernism and the first to place Frank Lloyd Wright at the head of his profession, came to his calling in a characteristically roundabout way.
		Miller agrees and adds that Mumford's curious avoidance of practical questions of power "can be explained as much by Mumford's reliance upon the organic method of social analysis he derived from Patrick Geddes as by his great debt to the equally evasive Emerson.

	Lewis Mumford
		Lewis Mumford spent nearly fifty years writing books on a range of topics, including Technology (which he insisted on calling Technics), Architecture, Towns and Cities, and Social Planning.
		Mumford goes on to compare the short time to build a pyramid (under a despotic bureaucracy) with the centuries required for a mediæval cathedral (in a Free city).
		And as the machine itself became, as it were, more active and human, reproducing the organic properties of eye and ear, the human beings who employed the machine as a mode of escape have tended to become more passive and mechanical.

	Salon Arts & Entertainment \| "Mumford" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		But Mumford's unconventionality is problematic -- this isn't one of those cloying message movies like "Patch Adams," in which a big-hearted rebel bucks the cold, clinical establishment and makes a long, sappy speech at the end to the tearful appreciation of a frighteningly large percentage of the American public.
		So it's not surprising that "Mumford," which features one of the rare complex portraits of a therapist (albeit a bogus one), is a very writerly movie.
		"Mumford" is a movie full of insightful moments, and some of them are even pure therapy.

		It's a tale of the town of Mumford's people and their idyll-shattering psychological problems that they air in the presence of the conveniently named Doc Mumford (Loren Dean).
		And - it is no crime in revealing this, as the trailers for "Mumford" already, foolishly, have - Doc himself is revealed to be a shyster, a fraud, a capital gainer at the expense of others.
		But when it starts to become painfully clear that its citizens are probably overly dramatic and that the citizens outshine the hero to the point that he never was, never is and never will be the guy we want to see succeed, that's when it's time to close up shop.

	Lewis Mumford: A Brief Biography
		Given the range of Mumford’s scholarly work, it is all the more interesting that he did not have a college degree, having had to leave City College of New York after a diagnosis of tuberculosis.
		Mumford's works share a common concern with the ways that modern life as a whole, although providing possibilities for broader expression and development, simultaneously subverts those possibilities and actually ends up tending toward a diminution of purpose.
		Mumford argued passionately for a restoration of organic human purpose in the larger scheme of things, a task requiring a human personality capable of “primacy over its biological needs and technological pressures,” and able to “draw freely on the compost from many previous cultures.”

	Review: Mumford (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Mumford is easily one of Kasdan's least ambitious and most dissatisfying efforts.
		Although, to be fair, I was less offended by Mumford than by Patch Adams, primarily because this movie didn't provoke much of a reaction beyond apathy.
		Loren Dean, in a performance that is perhaps too understated, plays Dr. Mumford, the most successful practicing psychologist in the small town of Mumford.

		So it came as a bit of a surprise that the score to Mumford was one that seemed to fall through the cracks - after all, Howard has had a rather enjoyable working relationship with director Lawrence Kasdan on three previous films, and I would have hoped for a score of similar quality.
		Mumford starts out with a bang - a great jazzy big-band score reminiscent of some of Ira Newborn's work.
		I can't claim to know how much time Howard put into Mumford, but I'm sure that it was significantly less time than he has put into some of his other notable scores.

	Mumford Movie Review - MovieWeb
		Mumford reminded me how nice it is to forget yourself in the midst of a good story â“ Lawrence Kasdanâs (The Big Chill, Grand Canyon) latest charm will keep you grinning.
		Mumford is engaging because the characters and dialogue provide a delicate blend of realism and entertainment.
		The adult content in the film (nudity, language) could have easily been omitted and felt contrived to elicit an R rating, but all in all, this was quite an enjoyable experience.

		Second, the skeleton in Mumford's closet is so jarring that it might lead you to believe that the whole film is about that skeleton, and though that may have been the intention of those loose-lipped commercials (to play up the film's wacky comedy angle), announcing such a bold-faced premise actually does Kasdan's work a disservice.
		The people of Mumford are largely trapped by consumerist dreams--a shared desire to find happiness through the acquisition of products, styles, and mass-media images.
		As has often happened in the director's career, he loves the characters he creates too much to leave them miserable and thirsting, even when that would be the most logical and useful way for the story to go.

		Dr. Mumford (Loren Dean) is a recently arrived psychologist in the town of Mumford, who has quickly developed a large clientele despite his unorthodox methods.
		Both Mumford and the muse were not what they appeared to be, but helped people anyway because the people just needed something to believe in.
		Loren Dean was a bit too deadpan as Mumford, playing the part much more impassively than we would expect after we learn a little about his past.

		Possibly he is. We are probably safe and saying he is because evidence to disprove the identification has not been found and is not likely to be found.

		And while he's tending to the shopaholic housewife (Mary McDonnell), the pulp-fantasizing pharmacist (Pruitt Taylor Vince), and the anorexic teenager (Zooey Deschanel), no one seems to give a second thought to who the man is behind the therapeutic face, not even his slightly sardonic neighbor (Alfre Woodard).
		And Dean, as the enigmatic Mumford, may have finally found his breakthrough role; after years as an also-ran, he finally emerges as a solid, charming leading man. After Mumford, you won't forget his name, or face.
		Mumford is a film about a "psychologist" who lives in a small idyllic town, and deals with his patients in a way that seems to annoy them but keeps them coming back.
