	The Harvey Girls (1946) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		During the filming of "The Harvey Girls", Garland was one of the top box-office draws in the nation, and Hollywood's most versatile actress.
		The ranks of the Harvey girls are filled by some of Hollywood's most marvelous character actresses, including Marjorie Main and Virginia O'Brien, and the dancer Cyd Charisse in one of her first roles.
		The film boasts what New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther appreciatively called "an abundance of chromatic spectacle and an uncommonly good score", the centerpiece of which is the Academy Award-winning song of the year (1946), "On The Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe".

	America's First Restaurant Chain - by Robert Angelone
		Harvey hired young ladies between 18 and 30 and made them conform to a strict set of moral and ethical guidelines.
		Harvey met each girl as she was hired.
		Harvey brought decent, respectable women to work in his restaurants at a time when "there were no ladies west of Dodge City, and no women west of Albuquerque".

	Scifilm -- Reviews, CARNIVAL OF SOULS (1962)
		Much of the film was shot in Salt Lake City, Utah, and at the Saltair resort on the south shore of the Great Salt Lake, which is quite near where I live.
		When questioned about how she escaped and what happened to the other girls, her only response is, "I don't remember." Recovered from the accident, Mary decides to take a job as a church organist in Utah.
		Supposedly Herk Harvey discovered it on a drive through the state and realized it would be the perfect location for a horror film.

	Civilising the West: Life with the Real Harvey Girls
		Fred Harvey realised that there was a need for a quality kind of restaurant that would meet the needs of the travellers on the trains heading out west.
		Many of the eating establishments prior to the Harvey Houses being opened were basic and operated with the main objective of providing as little food as possible for the highest possible price.
		The hours were long and often included the necessity for the girls to wake in the middle of the night, get out bed, dress in their uniform in order to meet a train.

	The Rev. Chuck Currie: Film
		Filmed mainly in the fl townships of Cape Town, "Son of Man" places the story of Jesus in a shantytown and brings a political flavor in depicting the Gospel narratives.
		MoveOn.org is asking people to pledge to see the film on the opening weekend so that those on the right trying to shut it down don't win their fight (thanks to Heather Hyland for pointing out the MoveOn.org link).
		At the event, she says she was forced to sign a confidentiality agreement promising not to reveal anything about the film, was kicked out before the film started, and eventually snuck back in to view all but 25 minutes of the movie.

	Switchblade Romance/High Tension/Haute Tension (2003)
		Both films share that silent assailant factor, coupled with a raw fear and anxiety for survival, and combined with a collection of scenes in which there are long silences and almost unbearable intensity.
		In this film, from director Alexandre Aja, the son of director Alexandre Arcady and currently co-writing a remake of The Hills Have Eyes, the high tension is typically awarded by some horribly grisly dead from which there is no escape.
		What makes this film unique and what made it even more interesting for me, as well as a number of audiences at Cannes, is the psychological twist involving the killer.

	That's a wrap, girls - Film - Entertainment - theage.com.au
		At one point, standing at the monitor in a pink camisole that said "Mrs Martin" (she is married to Chris Martin, lead singer of rock group Coldplay), Paltrow suggested a longer camera pan for a shot of Travis, a goofy hippie offering his date some trail mix.
		Of the three other films, one fixes on a woman's quest to find the right little fl dress, while another concerns a woman trusting her instincts on what's missing in her life.
		Women aren't directing films in large numbers, she said, because it's an all-encompassing job that is not often compatible with the complexity of women's lives.

	Judy Garland Database film review: "The Harvey Girls"
		The Harvey family, however, let it be known that they would not allow anyone but MGM to make the film, so the property was assigned to the Freed unit where it was seen as a perfect vehicle to use as an answer to the new Broadway sensation, Oklahoma!
		The film and outtakes were released as part of the laser disc box set "Judy Garland: The Golden Years at MGM," MGM/UA Home Video ML104869 (1994).
		The Harvey Girls is a perfect demonstration of what Hollywood can do with its vast resources when it wants to be really showy...Pretty girls...period sets and costumes...lilting tunes...super-speedy dance shuffles.

	DVD review of Harvey Girls (Special Edition) - DVDTOWN.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Although "The Harvey Girls," 1945, never recaptured the magic of "Oz," this musical-comedy Western holds a few delights of its own, not the least of which is its beautiful Technicolor transfer to DVD.
		The film's conflict comes mainly between the judge and the Harvey establishment, because it is only the judge who will stop at nothing to maintain his own interests.
		And, of course, all of the young women in the story, from Harvey Girls to dance-hall ladies, are gorgeous in the extreme.

	UGO Screenwriter's Voice - Film Review -- American Splendor
		Harvey Pekar (Giamatti) and Joyce Brabner (Davis) are watching a play about their lives.
		Harvey can write a great story but can't draw anything better than a stick figure so Crumb takes Pekar's tales of everyday drama and brings them to life.
		The film shifts from Giamatti and Davis' recreation of events to documentary-style footage of the actual Pekar commenting on their lives.

	DVD Savant Review: The Harvey Girls
		This being an MGM Technicolor family film, the bargirls are resolutely asexual, and every cowboy has a color-coordinated outfit that tells us this is a fantasy West (where a truck-mounted back-projection plate through Monument Valley gives a really rough ride to the Sand Rock-bound train).
		The film has the good sense to let Em off the hook at the end and be a good sport, or we'd really resent it.
		Thus, in The Harvey Girls, we're meant to celebrate a victory similar to a new Wal-Mart rolling in to doom the locals.

	Santa Monica Mirror: At The Movies: Harvey’s Girls
		This was the year Harvey Weinstein’s studio not only had all of the Oscar movies, it also had Weinstein’s publicity machine in overdrive, in part to clear his bad reputation, and in part to prove he was still a major player in the Oscar game.
		Both films were ineligible for the foreign language Oscar because they weren’t chosen by their own countries for submission.
		The most glaring omission came, ironically, in the foreign film category, which failed to nominate City of God from Brazil, which is one of the best films of the year, was eligible for a foreign language Oscar, and was even distributed by Miramax.

	Walk on the Wild Side (1962): Laurence Harvey, Capucine, Jane Fonda, Ann Baxter - PopMatters Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The film ends on a dour note, atypical for its era, but it also reassures the viewer that all the guilty were appropriately punished.
		In a film ostensibly about the "wild side", Kitty is the only character who displays the slightest trace of animal lust.
		This wouldn't be so galling if the film didn't clearly want it both ways: to entice the viewer with promises of a glimpse into the brothel life, while at the same time wagging its finger at something it never even dares to show.

	In The Realms Of The Unreal (2004)
		The images were disturbing and mysteriously beautiful: little girls frolicking under stormy skies, little girls fighting soldiers, little girls being rescued by fantastic winged creatures.
		The film won over 20 festival awards, including the IDA Achievement Award, the Audience Award at Aspen Shortsfest, and First Prize at the St. Petersburg International Film Festival, and debuted at the Sundance Film Festival.
		It was one of the most beautiful rooms I had ever been in, and in that moment I became obsessed with the thought of making a film about the artist who had lived there.

		The fictional Harvey Girls is set in Sandrock, where the traveling waitresses are joined by a sort of mail-order bride (Judy Garland) whose prospective husband is a bust--he's a roughhewn rancher played by Chill Wills.
		One of the most lavish of 40s MGM musicals, THE HARVEY GIRLS really shows off Judy Garland's considerable comedy skills, which she rarely got much of a chance to work with, and also shows her off at her absolute most unearthly beauty.
		The rest of the film isn't up to Garland's level or the level of those two songs, although the hokey plot--about how the upright and starched Harvey Girls bring such an attractive wholesomeness to the Wild West that all the temptations of sin wilt before them--demonstrates pretty much the MGM moral ethos of the time.

	Review :: Harvey Girls, "The Wild Farewell" \| lawrence.com
		"The Wild Farewell" is The Harvey Girls' willfully schizophrenic attempt to musically reconcile the two locales.
		The Harvey Girls are Hiram Lucke and Melissa Rodenbeek, a local husband/wife team named after the waitresses who served travelers on the railways in the American West.
		The album's standout track is "Girls Sing," which begins with an almost identical chord progression to the Ronettes '60s classic, "Be My Baby." The vocals on the track are outstanding, and the instrumentation gives an already catching song a truly stirring feel.

	Little Miss Sunshine wins indie film awards \| Entertainment \| Film \| Reuters
		The movie, which revolves around a family's cross-country trip to a preteen girls' beauty pageant, ended up with four awards, but it was a bittersweet moment for the five people who produced it.
		The film's writer, Michael Arndt, said he was originally fired from the project when it spent three years at one studio, Focus Features, but then rehired.
		The film's other honorees were veteran actor Alan Arkin for his supporting role as a junkie grandfather, and the film's directors, the husband-and-wife team of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, whose day job is making music videos and commercials.

	Notes on Gay History/Queer Theory/Queer Film by Dr. Harry Benshoff
		If a boy exhibits sensitivity he is often called a faggot, and a girl who doesn't want to wear makeup might be called a dyke by her peers.
		The films dabble in minimalism and excess, appropriation and pastiche, the mixing of Hollywood and avant-garde styles, and even the mix of fiction and documentary tropes.
		Queer film also seeks to challenge the idea of simplistic "positive" and "negative" representations, and thus the characters in queer film are not all saintly well-behaved assimilationist homosexuals.

	THE HARVEY GIRLS
		The driving force behind this film is to showcase Garland's vocal and comedic talent and on that level the picture succeeds.
		The romance between Susan and Ned is the backbone of this film and unfortunately there's just not enough of a spark between Garland and Hodiak to make their love story truly engaging.
		Despite the poor casting, MGM was spot on with the other aspects: the costumes are lovely, the songs peppy, the one-liners witty and the sets give a touch of glamour to the Old West while still seeming fairly realistic.
