LACMA: Film The film version of Joanne Greenberg's 1964 best-selling novel about the relationship between a suicidal 16-year-old girl and her sensitive psychotherapist was originally to have starred and been produced by Natalie Wood, but it took the box office success of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to make mental illness an attractive subject for Hollywood. The film's final movement, following the heroine through her last morning, might be called "The Passion of Mouchette" -- it ends on a note that is at once utterly inconsequential and irrevocably final. Other programs present films related to his Hollywood mentor, Nicholas Ray, and to the subjects of some of his major books as a critic: Norma Shearer, Alla Nazimova, Lindsay Anderson, Natalie Wood, and notably George Cukor, whose conversations with Lambert were published in the influential On Cukor. www.lacma.org /art/film/film.htm   (1856 words)

The Insider by Ken Mandelbaum: DVDs: Blow, Gabriel, Blow, - Broadway.com Buzz In 1981, a film version was directed by Milos Forman (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), from a screenplay by Michael Weller, who had previously collaborated with Forman on the movie of Hair. As the film opens, an elderly, dying Cole Porter is visited by "Gabe" (as in "Blow, Gabriel, Blow"), an angel-of-death figure that poor Jonathan Pryce is stuck with trying to embody. There's a twenty-minute documentary, Remembering "Ragtime", in which Forman notes that the film would not be made today because it would be too expensive, and because, failing to sufficiently condemn Coalhouse's terrorist actions, it would not be considered politically correct. www.broadway.com /Gen/Buzz_Story.aspx?ci=504344   (1334 words)

Amazon.com: One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975): DVD One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is an excellent movie, and I really liked it and thought the entire cast was superb, especially Jack Nicholson and I highly recommend this movie! Forman populates his film with memorably eccentric faces, and gets such freshly detailed and spontaneous work from his ensemble that the picture sometimes feels like a documentary. Jack Nicholson was born to play the part of Randle Patrick McMurphy, the rebellious inmate of a psychiatric hospital who fights back against the authorities' cold attitudes of institutional superiority, as personified by Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0790732181?v=glance   (1880 words)
