Black and White Film Guide - 1936 - Movie Recommendation
Recommendation: We skip the year and if we take a quick look at this 1936, we would find a really mature exercise, and in which a large number of films are offered to us with great notoriety. And it is that we are, highlighting very varied titles, where, reviewing European directors who begin their journey in the Hollywood industry, we are also going to meet. with new American directors who would soon become famous. Let’s mix it all in the cocktail shaker, and see how it turns out. Surely something very rich. And now, by association of ideas, let’s guess which is which: Although yes, before, remind you that, to enjoy the articles published in the posts of Ok.ru, you just have to click on the links Vos qthat we have created for you. And now yes, let's go with that recommended list:
1: Presented in the guide of the year 1936 the films that I am going to recommend. We have no choice but to start with the first. So, getting started and as if it were in a factory, let’s gut this «Modern Times » And about which I can tell you that we will find an imperishable masterpiece that set Charles Chaplin, the character with the mustache, cane and bowler hat. , in an endless production chain, and from which you have to see what comes out of it. Of course, the result seems exciting a priori, just remember that it is the film that has the highest grade of the year, with an 8.6 in addition to occupying, according to the prestigious Afi list, the number 9 position in the ranking of best film history of cinema. Let’s gut her. Vos
2: Second recommendation for this year 1936, and on this occasion, we offer you one of suspense and, therefore, a colossal masterpiece by Fritz Lang who, leaving Germany and relocating to the United States, gives us his first film shot in this country. "Fury " is a dramatic film that, with a score of 8.1, shows us the irrationality of coincidences. Or what is the same, a cross of bad luck that, in the goodness of a person and in the face of the general ignorance of those who do not know him, promotes, based on "rumors" lynching, stirring up the crowd in fervor from the prejudice of what, as we said, is unknown. Let's see, then, how this crowd, called "mass", behaves in the life of a young Spencer Tracy, that the only thing his character did wrong is to be in the wrong place and at the wrong time. Thus, an excellent film that, in the prestigious Afi list, ranks number 23 in the ranking of the best thrillers in the history of cinema. Let's dissect it. Vos
3: For this year 1936 and as a third recommendation, with a grade of 7.8, we are going to look at one of the delicacies, of the one who would be considered one of the best directors of this time. Of course, a time tinted in black and white. Who are we talking about? Well, from the distinguished director Frank Capra and who, this year and thanks to this marvel, won the Oscar for best director. So romantic comedy, in the purest Frank Capra style that, interpreted by a transparent Gary Cooper, is wonderfully accompanied and this time, by his partner on duty, Jean Arthur. Jewel's name «Mr. Deeds Goes to Town » Let's gut her. Vos
4: For this year 1936 and as a fourth recommendation, with a note of 7.7, we are going to look at another delicatessen, "My Man Godfrey ". Once again an excellent comedy, glamorous and sophisticated, not to say, histrionic and somewhat repellent. An example of satire on American high society and directed by Gregory La Cava and, performed by a guaranteed couple, William Powell and Carole Lombard. We are talking, then, about a comedy that, in its hysteria, makes it one of the best comedies in Classic Cinema, that is, in the history of cinema and that, of course, we are about to gut. Shall we start? Vos
5: For this year 1936 and as a fifth recommendation, we are going to focus on the most successful film of its kind, the ninth edition of the Hollywood Oscars, which was held on March 4, 1937 at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California. And it is that the film awarded with the award for best film went to: "The great Ziegfeld " "Musical" that tries to reflect the fictional biography of the American theater producer Florenz Ziegfeld Basically, a comedy that, with witty overtones, initially tries to paint the life of our protagonist but, without a doubt, wants to focus our gaze on the glamor of American history and a show in the purest Broadway style. All this, despite the fact that, we could well spin it, with our previous recommendation, "My Man Godfrey " when sharing, the main actor, in the figure of William Powell. But that, without a doubt and deep down, its objective is the opulence of the shows that, choreographed by Metro Goodwin Mayer, represent bombast as the most precious asset, of a country, North America, that wanted to export the most exaggerated image of comfort, of course, before "the great depression". If you don't pay attention to the greatness of their musical shows. Above all, the one that gives rise to the intermission, apart from an exaggeration also, "a pass". As I was saying: Everything within the bombast inclusive, even in the excess of the footage of the tape, almost 3 hours. In summary: "Not for girls" So, let's leave William Powell in his big year, and his producer, MGM with the highest grossing of the year with: $4.67M. So let's destroy it. Vos
6: Sixth, and last recommendation of the year. So, after reviewing the films that we have recommended this year (from comedies to musicals), we are going to end this 1936 with "Little Lord Fauntleroy". A tear-jerking film by child actor Freddie Bartholomew which, in this child-dramatic subgenre, settles us in a cinema which, at that time, was so fashionable in theaters around the world that, by themselves, they were capable of filling with good hard, the coffers of their producers. Producer, then, who, personalized in the figure of a skillful character, launched the career of a monster in this matter of producing films, his name, David O. Selznick, to stardom. And the importance of him? We'll find out why. Although suffice it to say that he produced the most important films of the next 10 years. Vos
Thus closing this 1936 and in this post, you are offered the rest of the recommended films that, of course, being great films, I have not been able to develop them due to lack of space, such as:
With an 7,4 "Dodsworth " Drama directed by the unfairly valued director William Wyler who, nominated for an Oscar for best director, gives us a more than recommendable melodrama also nominated: for best film and, for best actor, for Walter Huston.
Also with a 7.4 "Camille " Dramatic film that, directed by the director George Cukor, is interpreted by the great and inaccessible at first, Greta Garbo and a very young Robert Taylor who, represent in the world of cinema, neither more nor less than the adaptation of the homonymous novel most romantic of the famous French writer, Alexandre Dumas.
And, to finish, with a 6, we are going to recommend the drama of the romantic dramas and by all known. What movie are we talking about? Well, of course "Romeo and Juliet ", and adaptation made to the cinema of the drama of the teacher of teachers, the Englishman William Shakespeare. And that, on this occasion, it is adapted by director George Cukor and that, curiously, he did the same with the previous film "Camille" So, this "Romeo and Juliet" takes us to the city of Verona, being played by actor Leslie Howard and actress and Oscar nominee Norma Shearer.
