	Science fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Science fiction television dates from at least as early as 1938, when the BBC staged a live performance of the science fiction play R.U.R. The first regularly scheduled SF series to achieve a degree of popularity was Captain Video and his Video Rangers, which ran from 1949 to 1955 on the American DuMont Network.
		There are fan fiction sites which include additional, fan-created stories featuring characters from the genre's books, movies, and television programs.
		Science fiction has often been concerned with the great hopes people place in science but also with their fears concerning the negative side of technological development; the latter is expressed in the classic theme of the hubristic scientist who is destroyed by his own creation.

	zingmagazine 14: Reviews
		After opening with a scene of a fan asking for an autograph when the artist was featured in Life Magazine in 1949, the film, structured episodically, flashes back to Pollock in a drunken stupor.
		The Pollock film discloses the influence and power of the art market in the twentieth century, and centers on the conflicted relationship of husband and wife.
		One of the reasons for the attraction to films of painters that were thought of as geniuses is largely that they all seem to share what is usually described as madness.

	A Letter To Three Wives (1949)
		Now before all you Mankiewicz and Jeanne Crain fans start filling my inbox with special offers of intimate relationships with well endowed horses, I'm not saying this is a bad film.
		I also wasn't a fan of all these flashbacks.
		If everyone is that insecure in their relationships, then this movie just gave me the perfect revenge scheme to bust out on some slugs in my own life who are in dire need of a letter with my trailer on the return address.

		Shown are fascinating clips from Three Places for the 26th (1988), a musical with Yves Montand playing himself; while Parking (1985), looks to be, if nothing else, a fascinating train wreck of a film, a kind of musical remake of Cocteau's Orphée (1949), with Hell now a massive parking garage.
		The World of Jacques Demy is a 1995 feature-length tribute, directed by Demy's widow, filmmaker Agnès Varda.

	Liza Minnelli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Minnelli's first film appearance was at the age of three in the final scene of the 1949 musical In the Good Old Summertime, starring her mother and Van Johnson.
		Minnelli, like her mother, is known for her powerful vocal style, as in her trademark songs, "Cabaret" and "Theme from New York, New York." Minnelli's original, for the film in which she was a co-star with Robert DeNiro, preceded Frank Sinatra's successful cover version (for his "Trilogy" album), by two years.
		Minnelli is a fan of the TV show La Femme Nikita, so much in 1997, before Peta Wilson's first TV interview ever on The Rosie O'Donnell Show, Liza secretly called for Peta's Limo to go to her home so she could meet her and give her advice on what to say.

	Journal of Popular Film and Television: Captain Video: television's first fantastic voyage - DuMont Television Network, Cold War propaganda
		The novelty of television was so great during the medium's early years that network and local broadcasters did not need to create programs with exotic sets or fantastic premises.
		Video Ranger Don Hastings, the captain's protege, was one of television's first teen stars, described in a TV Guide profile as a "21st Century juvenile heart-throb" and "object of [idolatry] from the crush age sorority" of girls who joined Hastings fan clubs ("America's No. 1 Bachelor" 8).
		But in June 1949, the DuMont network brought television into the future with Captain Video (1949-55).

	Amazon.com: Books: Shane
		The film version of Jack Schaefer's 1949 novel "Shane" is one of those touchstone movies of childhood, along the lines of the unforgettable tearjerker "Old Yeller." The last scenes of the film are sure to bring a lump to the throat of the most stalwart among us.
		Schaefer shows us that no matter what our intentions in this life, there are going to be times when violence in the name of a cause is the only answer to those who are incapable of relying on any method other than intimidation to get what they want out of life.
		The final scenes of the novel balance gripping action with the heartrending departure of Shane back into the wilderness from which he came.

	Frankie Laine

		The song became Frankie Laine's biggest hit, even though Tex Ritter recorded it for the film's soundtrack.
		Frankie Laine's professional introduction to Western music came while he was recording for Mercury Records under Mitch Miller in 1949.

	Ruth Brown - Biography and Recommendations
		Born Ruth Alston Weston, 'Miss Rhythm' is perhaps best known by younger audiences through her role as DJ Motormouth Mabel in the John Waters film Hairspray; in the 1950s however, it's not too extreme a position to suggest that the wonderful Atlantic Records label was built almost entirely around her early R&B successes.
		The young Ruth Weston was a huge fan of Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughn and she initially performed in the style of those performers with the trumpeter Jimmy Brown, whom she also married (and later divorced).
		From around 1949 through to the end of the 1950s, Ruth had a string of R&B successes, although when the hits tried up in the early 60s, the industry was quick to forget about her as she worked as a domestic to make ends meet.

	Amazon.ca: DVD: Glenn Miller Story
		Stewart and Allyson had teamed up previously in 1949's "The Stratton Story" and would again in 1955 with "Strategic Air Command." Their mutual soft-spokenness might have had something to do with how ideal the pairing proved to be in all of these films.
		When one of his musicians gets an accidental split lip during rehersal, Miller stumbles upon his sound and we get to the second half of the film, which is almost wall-to-wall music.
		"The Glenn Miller Story" can be enjoyed even by someone who's not a fan of big band or jazz music.

	Bio for Zoe Wanamaker on MSN Movies
		Because her father was a passionate Shakespeare fan, Zoe Wanamaker grew up with Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, and Cleopatra as playmates while attending the King Alfred School in London.
		But the magic she works in that popular film is paltry compared with the magic she works on the stage performing in the works of Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Tennessee Williams, David Mamet, Arthur Miller, and other playwrights.
		After Sam Wanamaker, a method actor, tutored little Zoe in the subtleties of the performing arts, he sent her to London's Central School of Speech and Drama to perfect her talents, where she studied until 1970.

	MoMA.org 2003 Film and Media Exhibitions Happy Birthday, Joseph Cornell!
		Organized to commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of his birth, this program reflects Cornell’s interest in cinema and is organized in three parts: the recent discovery of a film made by the artist; the recreation of a 1949 film program organized by the artist; and a tribute to his own love of motion pictures.
		Best known for his evocative box-constructions, in which he assembled small objects and ephemera, the American Surrealist Joseph Cornell (1903–1972) was also a devoted fan of the cinema.
		This silent program is full of visual tricks, transformations, and shifts of scale—amazing effects that also manifested themselves sculpturally in Cornell’s box-constructions.

		When he purchases Dan Patch he knows he's gotten a very special horse, and the trainer Ben Lathrop (John Hoyt), along with his daughter Cissy (Gail Russell), takes good care of Dan Patch.

	The Jazz Collection - Summary
		He was a jazz fan, and during the 60s he would occasionally get used footage from the evening news shows routed to the Jazz Museum, film that otherwise would have been thrown away.
		The collection has several photos of Armstrong as King Zulu at Mardi Gras in 1949, including some recently discovered snapshots previously unknown, and a large number of photos from his visit to New Orleans and the Jazz Museum on Oct. 31, 1965.
		The New Orleans Jazz Museum finally opened its doors in 1961 at 1017 Dumaine Street, and was a success from the start, so much so that it almost immediately began to outgrow the premises.
