	Nashville (1975 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nashville is a 1975 film which mixes themes of U.S. presidential politics with those of the country music and gospel music businesses in Nashville, Tennessee.
		In 2002, a CD "Tribute to Robert Altman's Nashville" was released, featuring new interpretations of the movie's songs by the likes of such respected country figures as Carolyn Mark, Kelly Hogan, and Neko Case.
		Altman had enough footage to produce a four-hour film, and he considered creating an expanded version of "Nashville" to be broadcast on ABC in two parts, "Nashville Red" and "Nashville Blue." Plans for the project were scrapped, and the additional footage has not been made available on DVD releases.

	Nashville (1975)
		Nashville (1975) is maverick director/producer Robert Altman's classic, multi-level, original, two and a half-hour epic study of American culture, show-business, leadership and politics - and one of the great American films of the 1970s.
		The fund-raising rally is to be held at the Parthenon in Nashville [the replica of the Greek Parthenon, a symbol of democracy, was erected in 1876 for the nation's first centenary].
		There are Nashville residents, civic leaders, populist politicians and their frontmen, singing stars and managers, wannabes, reporters, fans, and other drifters, hangers-on, and misfits, who move through various locales including the Grand Ole Opry itself, the airport, the freeway, recording studios, parking lots, motel and hospital rooms, private homes, and nightclubs.

	Nashville: Special Edition (1975)
		Robert Altman's Nashville is an explosive drama and a human comedy that delineates and interweaves the lives of 24 major characters during five days in the country music capital of the world.
		It's as democratic a film as you'll find, and one would assume that the broad nature of the group means there's something for everyone; at least you don't become tied down to one or two characters you may not like.
		The film seems to think it has some sort of grand point to make, but if that occurred, I missed it; there's some semblance of a thesis about fame and America, but it's not well thought-out and it becomes jumbled in the mish-mash of events.

	Nashville (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Her position as the dean of film reviewers was so prominent and her praise so extravagant that it may have caused a reaction among the reviewers, if not the public, when the film appeared in the theaters.
		Nashville came and went from the theaters, Saigon fell and the Vietnam war retreated into history, Nashville came and went on videotape and was forgotten, Altman continued to make films, some great, some good and some indifferent, all distinctive.
		The film was conceived and developed by writer Joan Tewkesbury and by Altman as a celebration of the country's bicentennial anniversary in 1976, but its attempt to depict the complexity of a large and diverse country only then beginning to extricate itself from Vietnam was too dark for universal popularity.

	Karen Black: Nashville - Movie
		Like Rules, Nashville observes a society engulfed in its own pretensions and tells a cautionary tale that would later prove tragically prophetic (Rules was released on the eve of the German invasion; Nashville would predate John Lennon's assassination by 5-years).
		Although most of the film's other performers cannot sing very well and their numbers are mostly terrible (which is part of Altman's point: country music at the time was primarily a democratic folk art gaining enormous popularity), Blakely's Barbara Jean is an extraordinary singer.
		On the surface, this film concerns the lives of many people (at least 24 major characters) scattered about Nashville going on with their lives, yearning to somehow break into the Country Western/Bluegrass music scene, and others who are on the sidelines watching; there are even political candidates and gospel singers.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Nashville (1975)
		Director Robert Altman's "Nashville" has been widely hailed as one of, if not the greatest film of the 1970's, and it is just that.
		The film is a sprawling, flawless, epic mosaic of five days in the lives of 24 characters in the country music capital of the world.
		The picture may be set in Nashville, Tennessee, but it has a much wider scope, and the last scene is as heartbreaking, surprising, and hopeful as any moment ever captured on film.

	Nashville Review (1975)
		Nashville was Robert Altman’s defining film of the seventies, the moment when the precocious talent behind MAS*H, The Long Goodbye and California Split showed exactly what he could do with a lengthy running time and a large collection of characters.
		If the film seems a little less radical 30 years on, it’s only because some of the themes remain rooted in the era and Altman continued to refine his technique in subsequent films.
		Nashville is often extremely funny, and Altman has an uncanny ability to mix the comic with the dramatic, often in the same scene.

	A movie called "Nashville" - Salon
		A few kinds of new-Hollywood film genres reflect his work: the ensemble film organized around a lifestyle or occupation theme ("Parenthood," "Pushing Tin"), and the Mad-magazine style movie spoof ("Airplane," the various "National Lampoon" movies).
		It's hard to feel any fondness for the people behind films like "Dinosaur" or "Gone in 60 Seconds." These films do the same kind of button-pushing as the old B pictures, and they often give the same impression of being made out of recycled stock footage.
		In 1975, film was potentially the greatest of all the arts; in 2000, it's one data stream among many.

	DVD Review - Nashville
		Nashville is painted as a town that is steeped in politics and a traditional mindset that is at odds with the younger, liberal-minded generation of the mid-seventies, trying to make some change.
		His films are always a polished blend of improvisation and the scripted word.
		What separates a good film from a great film, in my mind, is the effect it has on you after you finish watching it.

	Keith Carradine: Nashville - Movie
		Nashville is not a film that will likely appeal to everyone.
		The anchor of the film is the primary bicentennial election.
		The film is basically a great opening, an astounding ending, and tons of filler in between, but that filler is some of the most interesting filmmaking ever seen.

	Nashville (1975 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film utilized many Nashville locations for scenes including the Nashville Airport, Parthenon (Nashville), The Grand Ole Opry, Opry Belle riverboat stage at Opryland USA, and in one scene, Keith Carradine performs "I'm Easy" at the famed (and, as of 2006, still-extant) performance venue the "Exit/In".
		Keith Carradine's character is believed to be inspired by Kris Kristofferson and Karen Black's Connie White strongly resembles Tammy Wynette and Lynn Anderson.
		In the script for the proposed sequel, Lily Tomlin's character, Linnea, is running for political office, while Karen Black's character, Connie White, is now managed by Barbara Jean's former husband, Barnett, who becomes obsessed with a Barbara Jean impersonator.

	Amazon.ca: Nashville Chronicles : The Making of Robert Altman's Masterpiece: Books: Jan Stuart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Rightly considered both a critical and popular masterpiece, director Altman's 1975 film, Nashville, is a sprawling, audacious and brilliant mixture of political analysis and soap opera that features 23 major characters, all on a collision course with the American dream.
		This love letter to the film, the director and the cast is based on Newsweek movie critic Stuart's interviews with all of the cast and crew members who are still alive.
		He ably evokes the artistic excitement that galvanized the set amid the chaos of the filming (Altman, a great believer in improvisation, told his actors to ignore the script on the first day of filming), as well as the tensions that surfaced when the exacting, often cranky director clashed with many of his stars.

		"Nashville" is the kind of film scholars champion and no one else watches, which is a shame because it has a lot to offer, and not just to pointyheads.
		But there is no way around the fact that it is an important film, a highly influential film, to most Altman fans his finest films, and to most series critics quite possibly the single finest film made during the whole of the 1970s.
		The result is a film that goes in a hundred different directions with a thousand different meanings, and it would be safe to say that every person who sees it will see a different film.

		Of course, young viewers raised on "Jurassic Park" might be bored out of their minds with the relevance of "Nashville." The film fits into modern movie genres like Elvis in a tuxedo.
		A metaphor in her own right, Tewkesbury was a divorced mother enjoying newfound freedom when she traveled to Nashville on a research trip for Altman and discovered most of the inspirations for her characters.
		While it might carry a flavor of Nashville itself, ultimately his voice is reminiscent of that of a genteel Southern gentleman who likes to hear himself pontificate at dinner parties.

		In my Nashville-O-Rama film fest (in honor of my recent trip to the city), I had to, of course, start with the Robert Altman classic of the same name (without the "O-Rama", that is).

		And then there is 70s-hunky Keith Carradine, playing a folk-rock singer who beds most of the women in the film, but has an odd soft spot for Lily Tomlin, a married woman he met in a recording studio.

		Here was a film that everyone was talking about as one of the funniest films they had ever seen.
		When "Nashville" was filmed, no one thought of Lily Tomlin as a dramatic actress.
		A lot of the film takes place in small bars and nightclubs, and the lighting and film stock don't allow very much depth of field and absolutely no attention to detail.

	NASHVILLE & MAGNOLIA (PLATINUM SERIES) - DVDs
		Nashville focuses on the wannabes, successes, and has-beens who drink out of the same pond in the figuratively incestuous Tennessee town.
		Nashville is a largely anecdotal film that basically unfurls as a series of set pieces--at an airport, in a traffic jam, at a barbecue, in the Grand Ole Opry, and, finally, at a concert for an unseen "Replacement Party" candidate, Hal Phillip Walker.
		The film is so obnoxious, so much the emotional bully, that to sit there unmoved is to resist the Chinese water torture.

	dOc DVD Review: Nashville (1975)
		He gives us the city of Nashville, almost as a character in and of itself and we are privy to how this city of music crushes some dreams, fulfills others, and entertains all kinds of personalities in the process.
		As one would expect from a film of this period, crispness and definition are not tremendous, but the biggest complaint I have about this transfer are the oversaturated colors.
		Nashville also features a 12-minute interview segment with Altman, most of which is a rehash of information provided in the commentary.

		In 1968, Lymon died at the age of 25, and his estate became the source of court fights that continued for the next 20 years among the surviving band members and the three women who claimed to be his wife.
		Since this film is billed as a dramatization, some historical license was inevitable; still, some errors are too big to overlook.
		Most of the credit for the film's impact is due to Joaquin Phoenix, who plays an American imprisoned in Malaysia for possession of a brick of hash that his traveling companions (Vince Vaughn and David Conrad) left behind.

		On the surface, the film paints a portrait of mid-70s life in Nashville, the country music capital of the world.
		In fact, Altman and screenwriter Jon Tewkesbury are able to use the film to pass comment on America as a whole, using the city of Nashville as a microcosm of sorts with which to illustrate the state of our nation near the time of it's 200th anniversary (1976).
		Nashville also takes great pains to comment on the true nature of success and fame, exploring why so many people will do virtually anything to attain it, while showcasing the unhappiness that seems to haunt those that already have.

		A beautiful, subtle, powerful, moving, funny and heartbreaking film which some critics have argued as the best film of the seventies.
		This film was Altman's second Acadamy Award Nomination and rightly so, based on a script by Joan Tewkesbury, it dwelves into the lives of some twentysomething characters during a weekend political rally disguised as an extended Country and Western concert in Nashville Tenessee.
		A few entertaining cameos litter the film, as is the case with most Altman films.

	Bonanza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bonanza was the first network television series to film all of its episodes in color.
		On a "To Tell the Truth" episode in 1975, no one on the panel chose him as the actor who contributed to the "Charlie Chan" films, Rodgers and Hammerstein's, "Flower Drum Song" and to the 14 year run of "Bonanza".
		A handful of episodes of the series are in the public domain, and some TV showings of these episodes on low-budget stations and networks (and also on low-budget public domain DVDs and VHS tapes) substitute the familiar theme music for generic music.

		The entire film was shot in sequence, except for the fishing scene (shot last).
		The film's unauthorized screenplay (by Lawrence Hauben and Bo Goldman) was restructured and adapted from author Ken Kesey's 1962 popular, best-selling novel of the same name so that it would appeal to contemporary audiences.
