The woman at 16:44 in the background is Sharon Tate.

what the---?

Good analysis! You can hear the love for cinema from you people

I cried.

Love this Movie

Not bad at all!!

Yes, the auto was an Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8a limo, one of the most expensive and powerful automobiles of its time. The bodies were made to order, as in this case., and it would have been street-legal at the time. It is unknown what became of the vehicle used in this film, although a museum in Turin Italy displays a car as the "Sunset" car, though it likely a recreation or a heavy restoration at best (no provenance of which I'm aware, and several differences). Love this movie, for all the reasons you brought up, plus that it sparked in me (and many others) a desire to explore the silent era. So many of those films - including many of great renown - had been, and were still being, lost when Wilder released this.

"The Player" is one my favorite movies but with all due respect I do not see a connection between Evans and Griffin Mill at all, certainly nbot ion their character. Maybe some career arc although Griffin does not do drugs.

Instead of yacking about the film, just show the damn thing! People are smart enough to make their own assessments as to whether it's good or not. What a waste of time.

HERMOSA PELÍCULA 😊🎺

Super cool, thanks for making this in depth discussion video about this movie. I’ve never heard of it but will check it out. Many thanks.

The title is Scrooge not a Christmas Carol because of the slight differences between the the book and the movie. The scene where Mrs Dilber runs creaming down the stairs I don't believe is in the book but is one of my favorites in the film.

Why would you interrupt the movie for your own egos.

JESUS IS RETURNING SOON! HALLELUJAH! ✝️❤️✝️

Mercedes proved to be the most creepy character in the picture once again!! hahahahaha love that woman!

OK. . .So you didn't like Charlton Heston's political stand regarding the Second Amendment. . .So, what could that have to do in ANY way with whether or not he was a "good actor"? I do not mean this as a comment about the Second Amendment, I just see NO way that his political stand should have ANYTHING to do with your opinion of his acting ability. As soon as you made that statement, I shut this video off. And again, NOT due to any thoughts I have for or against the Second Amendment, I just find it very disappointing that you would let that color your opinion of someone's talent. Up to that point I enjoyed this analysis very much!

Film critics that cannot frame themselves properly, or use lights, or understand sound. Pass.

Heston gave a academy award performance!

Thank you for this doc, "Touch of Evil" is a favorite... Unlike color that vividly commands the entire image, B+W supports the story or the idea. It is haunting like a memory or a charcoal sketch.

Great video! This is probably my favorite movie...seen it so many times. I learned a lot from listening to this. Thank you!

You have TWO people now who would love to see some kind of follow up to Local Hero. Just because. Don't screw it up tho :)

Thanks for a great discussion. Speaking watching color film in B&W. I watched Empire Strikes Back in B&W due to a malfunctioning VCR, it was actually better in my opinion. That being said, that movie leans towards a more monotone palette in many places so it makes sense that it would look good in B&W.

This is wonderful. I am enjoying this....

Just discovered this channel great stuff 😃

No von Braun, no US space program. Leave your virtue signaling at home, pal.

Do more research ahead of time. Ricou Browning played the Creature in the water. He was not a tall person at all. On land, the Creature was played by several different performers, depending on the scene and in which of the 3 Creature films that were made. Notably, in the first film, the land scenes of the Creature were played by Ben Chapman, who, in fact, WAS very tall. Thans for the video, regardless.

Well, a few errors here and there, but why quibble? One thing I'll mention is that the shots of the masses of people hiding up in the hills outside of Los Angeles actually didn't require as many extras as is suggested here. The crew took up a fairly modest number of people into the hills and moved them around different distances from the camera, with the same group of people combined into one shots by means of split screen optical composite, thereby creating a very large looking crow from using far fewer people than appear to be filling the hills. An old movie trick that is still used today to fill up stadiums in movies (though now this is mostly done by creating large crowds on screen digitally rather than with living, breathing extras.

This channel reminds me of Robert Osborne's Turner Classic Movies.

Paul Frees also did the voice for Ben Grimm (The Thing) in the 1967-1968 Fantastic Four cartoon series.

Saw it in 1953. Scary aliens.

Good show!😮 Thanks for sharing!😊

I just found this, so great to learn more about one of my favourite movies. Loved it since release, last watched it a few months ago (lost count how many times seen) and every viewing brings more.

Love these two and of course Robert Bob Evans as the topic

I love Robert Evans and due to his passion, truth, desire for creating perfection to his a movie can be produced and made ...he needed full autonomy!

I've always liked that the ending isn't concrete - she could end up embittered and alone in her magnificent home, or perhaps she'll find a companion and spend her days with her loving aunts, nieces, and nephews? This ambiguous ending is part of the film's appeal. I'm not quite sure how Richardson lost at the Oscars for his performance. His competition was decent, but I can only guess he didn't win because the Academy thought he'd have more chances going forward? Dean Jagger in Twelve O'Clock High isn't quite as compelling, and his film career was likely being applauded at least as much as the performance. The Heiress is a film that holds up to scrutiny today. The father/daughter dynamic and difficult questions about love - her aunts ask Dr. Sloper "so what if he's after her money if he makes her happy" - which doesn't jibe with many filmgoers' views of a (loving) relationship, are both intriguing. The acting is stellar by ALL involved. De Havilland's performance is one for he ages. Richardson is a force, so imperious and intimidating. Clift's motives are wonderfully ambiguous. Hopkins offers a some lighthearted humor to go along with Aunt Livinia's misguided matchmaking skills. Edith Head's costumes were incredible in this film, and I'm glad she got her first Oscar for her work here.

Why can't we see this great film in it's entirety????? Instead of Trailers?????¿?

Wonderful and enlightening discussion by knowledgeable professionals.

A fine, fine film adaptation of a play that improved on several of Henry James’ scenes, particularly the ending. Perfectly cast.

Oliva de Haviland gives a MASTER CLASS in acting. The greatest screen performance. Period. Watching her face when she was so madly in love & then the slow burn of when she finally realizes what her father really thinks of her (right or wrong). Just watching her face in the final scenes, is epic. Then Ralph Richardson, his performance...just so icy cold, a deep freeze & so rigid & trying to contain his seething disappointment or actual disgust with poor Catherine. Great to hear all the excellent commentary & additional on my favorite movie. Monty was fantastic he was soooo oily in this.

amazing video

The recent remake just does not compare to this great movie.

“One of the great films”. No, one of the GREATEST films ever made. The combined acting and direction in “The Heiress” has never been surpassed in a single movie IMO. I never tire of watching filmmaking at its apogee. Thanks for the interesting and enlightening discussion.

I love this movie. I have to watch it again (if I can find it!), as my copy was a very bad VHS version and the dialogue was difficult to make out at times. Nevertheless, I love Peter O’Toole so much, which is why I initially sought out this film. He was an extravagant actor when he wanted to be, and this role suited him to the ground!

Charles George Bluhdorn, Evans refers to Coppola as having a Machiavellian personality

English subtitles text please. :)

I met Robert Evans about 1996 in a book store on Miami South Beach. ...under unusual circumstances of 'syncronicity'. I had left the Public Library with a copy of his book "The Kid Stays in The Picture'. I went into store Books and Books to get a cup of coffee and read. Entering, I passed a man in his mid70s, sitting and talking to a younger woman that appeared to be his assistant. A young man approached him and asked " ..are you Robert Evans?" The man replied yes! It appears Evans was there to promote and sign his book Kid Stays in The Picture. There was a nearby table display. After he signed the young man's book, I asked him to sign my library copy...and he did!! (figured it would give value to the Library one). I started talking with Evans...for the next 2 hours!! Most fascinating conversation as he explained how he got into show business! What I remember most was his not so great relationship with Gulf and Western's Charlie Bludhorn...pressure to get Godfather financed and completed (Gulf & Western did not care for Cappola, Brando or Pacino).... Ali McGraw running away with Steve McQueen...and Frank Sinatra threatening him that if Mia Farrow went out with another man during filming of Rosemary's Baby....he'd blame Evans. I told him I'm a writer...Later, as he was leaving I asked how could I stay in touch with him. He replied...Robert Evans c/o Paramount Films, L.A., California. I said what about the street numbers and zip code. He said "Don't worry, I'll get it....they know who I am !"

Hollywood has been taken over, like every other industry, by the Wall Street criminals. It’s a race to the bottom now.

I just found your channel and not only that, I just found out about New Plaza Cinema. You guys are great! I'm in Long Island City, I'll definitely be coming by. I'm loving the films you are screening. I just read the article about you in NY Times. I have great affection. I must admit: I am still trepidatious about going to a theater. But if ANYTHING was to get me out, you guys are it. (the free silent movie screenings that they do by Lincoln Center would be the only other thing!) Dang, you're showing "The Conversation" TODAY. That I can't make, UGH! Breaks my heart!

Thank you, very interesting discussion!!! FYI, Evans’ involvement in the Garment Business was due to his brother’s ownership of Evan-Picone. FYI, another modern-day Hollywood mogul and Disney CEO,, Michael Eisner, also came from a family with ties to that industry. Read about his Grandfather Sigmund Eisner, owner of one of the world’s largest uniform manufacturers - they were the first company contracted to make uniforms for the Boy Scouts of America! Fascinating story!
