	Abbey Road Studios - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abbey Road Studios, created in November of 1931 by EMI in London, England, is best known as the legendary recording studio used by the rock bands The Beatles, Cliff Richard, Pink Floyd and The Shadows.
		Abbey Road Studios is most closely associated with The Beatles, who recorded almost all of their albums and singles there between 1962 and 1970.
		The cover photo for that album was taken outside Abbey Road studios, with the result that the pedestrian crossing outside the studio, where the Fab Four were photographed, soon became a place of pilgrimage for Beatles fans from all over the world.

		The road is secluded from civilisation and the rest of the world; it is the one and only place characters can evolve in freedom as individuals, not as ethnic, religious, or socially divided groups.
		In other words, the road film, with its linear structure, may seem appealing in part owing to the increasing non-linearity of today’s world, with all its seemingly new possibilities and diversity, such as expanding forms of communication and travel.
		The road movie narrative opens up close connections between characters and viewers; they are travelling as one through space and time, planning a future not based on past experiences, but on the life explored on the road.

		The huge success of the "Road" films was instrumental to Bob Hope's status from 1941-1953 as one of the top 10 box office draws (except for one year).
		The director of this film, David Butler, was well-suited to the comic task, having grown up at Mack Sennett’s slapstick comedy studio in the silent era, and he knew both how to structure a comic scene and when to let the stars wing-it.
		The costumes, as for all Paramount “A” films, were designed by Edith Head, who at this point in her career worked on between 40 and 50 films a year.

	Road Films
		Road films have been a staple of American films from the very start, and have ranged in genres from westerns, comedies, gangster/crime films, dramas, and action-adventure films.
		Road pictures had their heyday in the 1970s, when the traditional western declined in popularity.
		Victor Fleming's The Wizard of Oz (1939) was a quintessential 'road' film as Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) took an odyssey from her drab, fl and white Kansas 'home' to the wonderful land of Oz to learn more about herself, while pursued by the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton).

		As much as Abbey Road is a household name, it still tends to be defined by that morning in August 1969 when, bearded, bare-footed, white-suited and nearing the end of their Fabness, the Beatles popped out for a casual stroll across the zebra crossing outside the studio.
		London likes to call itself the world's capital of film scoring, and with a studio space large enough to accommodate a 100-piece orchestra and a 120-person choir, and the technology to back it up, Abbey Road is one of the industry's nerve centres.
		But Abbey Road's retrospective is a much-welcomed chance to learn more about the work that goes on behind (usually) closed doors to make a film sound and feel as good as it looks.

	OFFOFFOFF film review ROCKY ROAD movie by Geoff Cunningham with Nicole A. Smith, Will Wallace, Natasha Pearce, Wolf ...
		There's not much to recommend the Los Angeles-set race-relations film "Rocky Road." Cliched, heavy-handed, and simplistic, it could work well as a teaching aid in an elementary school — where this sort of broad, moralistic storytelling plays well — but that's about it.
		His reductive script, based on his own experiences as one half of an interracial couple (he's married to the film's star, Nicole Smith), renders the entire movie flat and generic.
		Honorable as Cunningham's intentions may have been, it's actually more discouraging to see this film than it is to ponder why we all can't just get along.

		Genre study can detour film study by forcing a return to arbitrary distinctions--a situation that can lead to getting stuck.
		The impossibility of rigorously identifying genre-traits and the market's drive toward ever-more-refined niche-genres led Rick Altman to conclude that genre definitions must be continually modified in the light of practice.
