 Film History of the 1970s
His next film, his first commercial film, was a AIP-Roger Corman-produced, character-driven exploitation film Boxcar Bertha (1972) designed to cash in on the Bonnie and Clyde (1967) crime film craze (and similar to Corman's own Bloody Mama (1970)), with Barbara Hershey cast as an itinerant, orphaned train robber in a Depression-era South.
The film's soundtrack was largely composed of classic rock music, and used the San Gennaro festival in New York as its backdrop.
The film's realism and dark presentation of child prostitution and the seedy underworld, exemplified in Robert De Niro's characterization of Travis Bickle ("You talkin' to me?"), was as startling as Marlon Brando's performance as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) two and a half decades earlier.

Film composer Elmer Bernstein, who created a brawny, big-sky theme for "The Magnificent Seven," nerve-jangling jazz for "The Man With The Golden Arm" and heart-rending grace notes for "To Kill a Mockingbird," has died.
Although he won an Oscar only once for the 1967 film "Thoroughly Modern Millie" -- considered one of his weaker works -- Bernstein was revered for experimenting with various techniques that bolstered the films.
"Film music, properly done, should give the film a kind of emotional rail on which to ride," Bernstein told The Associated Press in 2001.

Though his stage and first film successes promised great things from the actor, motion picture studios in 1930 were seeking dashing leading men to replace the handsome but unintelligible heartthrobs who had been their top draws in silent films.
The film was a success, though it spawned a long series of gangster roles and an image as a heavy for Tracy, who found himself not only typecast by Fox but stranded in its lower budget projects.
The same year, MGM teamed Tracy with Jean Harlow in one of her most critically successful films, "Libeled Lady" and his lead in the literally ground breaking disaster adventure "San Francisco" earned the actor the first of a record setting 9 career Academy Award nominations.

While Howard counts many influences on his career as a director, few were more profound than the landmark 1967 film “The Graduate,” which earned Mike Nichols an Oscar for his direction.
