	Van Nest Polglase - Films as Art Director:
		Disputes linger over the precise nature and extent of Polglase's contribution to those films on which he received credit for art direction since they were most often collaborations, though it is generally conceded that he had the first and last say on all designs.
		Polglase also held a latent inclination for expressionism, a predisposition which surfaced in his foggy, angular Dublin for The Informer, as well as in The Stranger on the Third Floor and Citizen Kane.
		Along with his associate Carroll Clark, Polglase supervised the creation of a series of sets that were, and continue to be, the hallmark of cosmopolitan design for the 1930s.

		Polglase’s contribution was to approve or disapprove sets, to oversee their cost, construction, and furnishing, and to be certain that they evoked the world Rogers and Astaire fans wanted to see.
		Polglase received an Academy Award® nomination for work Welles said was done entirely by period specialist Perry Ferguson, who had been supervised by Polglase on many films, including the last RKO Rogers and Astaire movie, a period piece called The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle.
		It cannot be said that Van Nest Polglase was an artist in the sense that he drew every line or sculpted every shape seen in films carrying his name.

		By droit du seigneur, Polglase was given art director credit on all RKO productions from 1929 through 1942, even those handled by his talented assistant Vernon Walker.
		An ongoing liquor problem cost Polglase his RKO post in 1942, though he soon regained lost ground at Columbia, designing such classy features as A Song to Remember (1944) and Gilda.
		Van Nest Polglase's final project was the Dwan-directed The River's Edge for 20th Century-Fox.

	Welles' masterpiece back in fresh print
		Van Nest Polglase, an art director who helped shape the fundamental style of film noir a year earlier with a paranoid dream sequence in "Stranger on the Third Floor," joined Toland in providing a startling mixture of images.
		Gothicism, art nouveau, classicism and M.C. Escher's unsettling intimations of the infinite (in multiple portals and arches, serial reflections, the deceptive capaciousness of a fireplace, etc.) were combined in Polglase's designs and the cinematography.
		In addition, Bernard Herrmann, the most revered of movie composers, supplied a score with jaunty music that fit Kane's youthful, more hopeful years and somber chords, grave and grandiose in their brassy fatalism, for his decline.

	Amazon.com Reviews for Top Hat (1935) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Dale believes Jerry to be Horace, the husband of her best friend Madge (Helen Broderick) and rebuffs his advances by marrying her dressmaker Alberto (Erik Rhodes), but in the best tradition of musical comedy, true love finds its own way.
		Practically the entire cast of the 1934 hit The Gay Divorcee reunites for this frothy confection, along with director Mark Sandrich, designer Van Nest Polglase, and choreographer Hermes Pan.
		Polglase outdoes himself with sets both elegant and outrageous and Hermes Pan's choreography is as smooth as ever, but ultimately it's the grace and chemistry of the leads that makes Top Hat top entertainment.

	Passion (1954) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		There's nothing much to speak of in terms of both script and acting - everyone is far too solemn, and disappointingly this does not exclude the quality triumvirate of De Carlo, Burr and Chaney Jr.
		The real star is the colour photography (a panchromatic change of pace from the veteran of many b/w 40s noirs) and the scenery within it; mise-en-scene courtesy of Fred-n-Ginger art deco specialist Van Nest Polglase.
		Both are sufficient to sustain one's interest through to the 'revenge is just as immoral as murder' conclusion.

		Polglase gets his biggest Snob accolades, though, for the "Big White Sets" he helped devise for such Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies as Top Hat (1935) and Shall We Dance (1937), highly stylized Art Deco expanses that afforded Fred and Ginger the opportunity to twirl into infinity.
