	Movies Other Film among the ruins
		A prime example of the heimat film, it travels 25 years into the past and to a different country to find the proper pastoral bliss.
		Starting off her career as a 50-mark-a-night girl pimped by a pair of street buskers (their musical commentary is one of the film’s odd delights), Rosemarie catches on to the way things work under the tutelage of the slippery Prince Fribert.
		As can be seen in the Harvard Film Archive’s series "After the War/Before the Wall: German Film 1945-1960" (which is being presented in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut), achieving a cinematic miracle akin to the coming economic one was not high on the list of West Germany’s priorities.

	Boston.com / A&E / Movies / A walk in the shoes of Imelda Marcos
		After a whirlwind 11-day courtship led to their 1954 marriage, the "love team" embarked on a determined wooing of the country that culminated in Marcos's 1965 election as president with the tacit approval of the US government, whose Philippines military bases were crucial Cold War chess pieces.
		Clearly, the young Imelda Romualdez wasn't just the right girl for an up-and-coming politician like Ferdinand Marcos, she was also his soul mate in grandiose ambition.
		The filmmaker has an unlikely ally: Imelda Marcos herself, who granted the filmmaker a long interview and later won a temporary injunction preventing the finished film from being shown in the Philippines.

	MSN Encarta - Bing Crosby
		After several more movies in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Crosby put aside the easygoing, nice-guy persona for which he was known in favor of a serious dramatic role in the 1954 motion-picture adaptation of The Country Girl by American playwright Clifford Odets.
		Crosby's appearance with American actor Fred Astaire in Holiday Inn (1942) helped make his subsequent recording of “White Christmas” by American composer Irving Berlin one of the best-selling records ever.
		After performing with various bands, the trio was featured with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra, with whom they made their film debut in King of Jazz (1930).

	Amazon.com: Video: The Miracle Worker (1962)
		Just ask people who wonder why Judy Garland lost an Oscar in 1954 for "A Star is Born" to the "dressed down" performance Grace Kelly gives in "The Country Girl." There's no rhyme or reason for such things.
		THE MIRACLE WORKER is a terrific film of the splendor of human potential.
		"The Miracle Worker" was a play before it was a movie and at times this movie comes across as a filmed play.

	Bing Crosby
		Although he refused to play screen heavies, in the 1950s Crosby proved his skill as dramatic actor with his complex performance as a washed-up, alcoholic singer in THE COUNTRY GIRL (1954); he played another alcoholic, this time a doctor, in the 1966 remake of STAGECOACH.
		Crosby made his screen debut as a band singer in THE KING OF JAZZ (1930), but his most successful films were the ROAD movies of the 1940s with Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour.
		Crosby co-authored an autobiography, Call Me Lucky, in 1952, but his son Gary's scathing portrait of his father in Going My Own Way 1983 reveals a stern, unloving disciplinarian in stark contrast to Crosby's easygoing public image.

	Biography for Bing Crosby
		Crosby took another chance, and received critical plaudits (plus an Oscar nomination) for his most dramatic work to date, as an alcoholic singer in The Country Girl (1954).
		On October 13, 1977, the day before Crosby's death, independent producer Lord Lew Grade announced that he was reuniting Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour onscreen for the film "The Road to the Fountain of Youth," ending several years of speculation at to whether the trio would reunite professionally or not.
		Crosby kept busy on-screen through the mid 1960s, in mostly undistinguished fare; his last musical was the Sinatra "rat pack" saga Robin and the Seven Hoods (1964), and his final dramatic role was in the 1966 remake of Stagecoach
