To begin…visit with the great Sidney Lumet as he directs 12 Angry Men, a fabulous entry by Silver Screenings.
Then read about how Federico Fellini drew from his own contradictions in a Spotlight by Maegan, a guest post on Once Upon a Screen.
After that consider the lasting and moving work of one born to showbiz as Vincente Minnelli is duly honored by The Vintage Cameo.
Proceed on and be reminded that he was much more than a “women’s director.” George Cukor (as in “cucumber”) is the subject of Margaret Perry’s retrospective on an impressive career.
Finally… on popcorn and movies brings it all home with a discussion about how John Ford Screwed Up her Geography!
Great stuff and a huge THANK YOU to these bloggers!
And be sure to come back and visit next weekend as we close the event with focus on The Motion Pictures.
I was especially glad to see quotes from greats like Billy Wilder, Kurasawa, and other Oscar contenders who deserved more Oscar love! Great going, ladies!
LOVIN’ all the director quotes! Nice job ushering in the 4th week, Aurora!
Thanks for hosting love the Director quotes!
Very interesting quote from Frank Borzage. He’s given me something to think about.
