unfortunately As usual in recent years, we suffered a few losses more irreparable all within the world of cinema we love. Flagship names as important within the national and international scene, as Amparo Muñoz Annie Girardot, Jane Russell, Michael Gough or Farley Granger and others, to be added the recent loss of Mary Isbert . Unable to pay homage as it deserves them all, I am compelled, given the low rate of updating this your blog, to stay with the two names most closely touched me as a film experience: Elizabeth Taylor , especially Sidney Lumet . Elizabeth Taylor was born in Hampstead (London), February 27, 1932 and made his film debut as a child performer in the years 40. In that decade include titles like Lassie , Courage of Lassie and Velvet, directed the first two by Fred McLeod Wilcox and last for Clarence Brown. Taylor's career was honored twice with the Oscar for best actress for her work in A woman marked , directed by Daniel Mann , and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? , directed by Mike Nichols . Like with all these myths of classical cinema, and this would not happen if we were making review the career of, say, Jennifer Aniston , glossing filmography Elizabeth Taylor star is a journey through some of the most celebrated filmmakers in cinema history, such as Mervyn LeRoy ( Little Women), Vincente Minnelli ( Father of the Bride, Father's Little Dividend, The Sandpiper ), George Stevens ( A Place in the Sun, Gigante ) Richard Thorpe (Ivanhoe ), William Dieterle ( The Elephant Walk ) Richard Brooks ( The Last Time I Saw Paris, The Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ), Joseph Leo Mankiewicz ( Suddenly, Last Summer, Cleopatra ), Edward Dmytryk ( The tree of life ), Franco Zeffirelli ( Taming of the Shrew), John Huston ( Reflections in a Golden Eye ), Joseph Losey ( Women damn secret ceremony ), George Cukor ( Blue Bird) or Guy Hamilton ( The broken mirror). With the disappearance of Elizabeth Taylor leaves one of the last representatives who were living in a way to understand the movies that will always live in our hearts.
If the death of Elizabeth Taylor is a tragic fact, much more has been the death of Sidney Lumet , since it still remained active, as you put the master expressed his latest film, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead , and a server hoped that the director of limit point gave us some more pleasant surprises. Unfortunately we will settle for the rest of his filmography is not enough, not even close.
belonged Sidney Lumet as the recently deceased Arthur Penn , together with other filmmakers as Martin Ritt, John Frankenheimer, Franklin J. Schaffner, Robert Mulligan or Stuart Rosenberg among others, the Generation of television, known with this name for the television source of its members. Indeed, Lumet made his film debut with Twelve Angry Men , work that had already adapted a few years before the television format, in which she starred Henry Fonda superlative , leading a cast full of big players like Martin Balsam, Jack Warden or J. Lee Cobb, and that was one of the biggest milestones of his long filmography.
In his career during the decade of the 60 outstanding titles like Fugitive, starring Marlon Brando , adaptation of the play by Eugene O'Neill , Long Day's Journey Into Night , with Katharine Hepburn , the fictional political fable limit point, which returned to work again with Henry Fonda, and could be regarded as the reverse tragic masterpiece Stanley Kubrick, Phone red, flew to Moscow , the war film Hill, which marked her first collaboration with Scottish actor Sean Connery or Call for a dead , which adaptaba una novela de John LeCarré .
Si la década de los 60 fue muy favorable para el realizador de La colina , la de los 70 supuso su espaldarazo definitivo con películas como Supergolpe en Manhattan, La ofensa (ambas protagonizadas por Sean Connery ), Asesinato en el Orient Express, Serpico, Tarde de perros , y en especial esa lúcida diatriba contra las miserias del mundo de la televisión llamada Network: un mundo implacable , que sigue siendo tan atinada y vigente como en el momento de su estreno en el año 1976.
In the next three decades Sidney Lumet films continue to deliver interesting as Verdict (1982), next morning (1986), District 34: total corruption ( 1990), A Stranger Among Us (1992), Night Falls on Manhattan (1996), or the splendid finale to his career was the very black Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007).
Elizabeth Taylor Sidney Lumet and have gone forever, but we can always check your work, thank you for giving us this wonderful legacy.
