Ronaldo Brazilian soccer legend signs UFC star Anderson Silva as first client in new management agency
Picture credit: Globosat/Combate Channel – Brazil
Anderson Silva with soccer legend Ronaldo on the day he signed for 9ine Sports Management agency
Silva: "…with a Brazilian sports legend like Ronaldo endorsing the sport, it will only help grow the sport to be as big here as it is in the US and across the world."
The Brazilian football legend Ronaldo has signed UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva as the first client in his newly-created sports management agency. It signals a massive shift in mainstream acceptance for the sport in that country, and indicates the level of interest Ronaldo and his team believe will be generated in mixed martial arts as the sport grows.
UFC was banned from Globo tv, the main sports television network for almost a decade, and with a UFC event taking place in Rio di Janeiro this summer, the latest news from Ronaldo will be a major filip for the pioneers in that country. Brazil has an intrinsic link with the sport, dating back to the involvement of the Gracie family, and others, with the martial arts of jiu jitsu, luta livre and capoeira.
Ronaldo is also expected to add the Brazilian football stara Kaká, Neymar and Pato on his books at the close of the season.
Anderson Silva is widely considered the No 1 pound for pound fighter in the sport. The former international striker unveiled his new agency – called '9INE' after his Real Madrid shirt – earlier this week and said he was 'honoured' to have UFC king Anderson on the books.
Ronaldo said: "This is a very exclusive sports agency; we will represent only the very greatest athletes in the world. They will all be the elite of their sports. We expect to have no more than 20 clients and to generate around US$30 million a year for our athletes within the next four years."
He added: "Anderson Silva is a phenomenon. He is the greatest fighter in his sport and one of the world's greatest athletes. 9INE is excited to have 'the Spider' as our first client."
Silva said: "The UFC and mixed martial arts is really growing in Brazil and with a Brazilian sports legend like Ronaldo endorsing the sport, it will only help grow the sport to be as big here as it is in the US and across the world. "We are trying to show that MMA is a serious sport, that requires heavy training and dedication. That MMA is a contact sport and not violence. And Ronaldo decided to join in and do his part. If we can achieve it together, would be like a beautiful goal. To me, football is violent. Look to what Ronaldo went through in his career because of injuries. I have never had a serious injury fighting, only that brocken rib training, but never inside the ring or the cage. But I already hurt myself many times playing football."
Silva has been supreme as UFC middleweight Champion since October 2006, the longest ever title-run in UFC history. He also had the longest ever winning streak in the mixed martial arts organisation, with 13 fights in a row.
Ronaldo hinted 9INE has already lined up a US$5million men's grooming commercial for the Rio based Silva, who may fight Manchester's Michael Bisping later this year.

Dardanup is a small town in the South West region of Western Australia. The town is in the fertile Ferguson valley and is near the Ferguson River.
The area was first settled in 1852 by Thomas Little who named his property Dardanup Park. The word Dardanup is believed to be a variation of the Indigenous Australian word Dudingup the meaning of which is unknown.[2]
Construction of the local Agricultural Hall commenced in 1893 by J. and H. Gibbs who had submitted the lowest tender.[3] The Hall, constructed of Jarrah and weatherboard, was opened in 1894 by the Hon. H. W. Venn.[4]
The population of the area was 118 (81 males and 37 females) in 1898.[5]
Little later gave land to the Catholic Church and a community was soon established in the locale. The government acquired land in the area in the 1920s and the townsite was gazetted in 1923.[2]
Just outside Dardanup is the tourist attraction called "Gnomesville." Gnomesville is a collection of hundreds of Garden Gnomes left by visitors in a wooded area at the intersection of Ferguson Road and Wellington Lowdon Road. The collection started as a protest over the construction of a traffic circle at the intersection. Gnomes were left by anonymous protestors and over 20 years the collection has grown. Visitors from all over the world as well as local school groups and organizations now add to the collection every year.

We sat down with Jade Dynasty's American product manager, Andrew Brown, and talked with him about the update. Not only did we find out exactly what's in the expansion, but we also got a glimpse into how the game is made and how much control American audiences have over the features in a Chinese MMO.
We sat down with Jade Dynasty's American product manager, Andrew Brown, and talked with him about the update. Not only did we find out exactly what's in the expansion, but we also got a glimpse into how the game is made and how much control American audiences have over the features in a Chinese MMO.
So Andrew, tell us about what's setting the scene for this next expansion. What's going on in the world of Jade Dynasty?
Ah, well, ok! In the world of Jade Dynasty, there's five schools of magic that we label as factions. Each of these factions promised humans that they could lead them to immortality -- that they knew the correct path. As time progressed, everyone found out that all of these factions were correct and they all started showing humans how they can ascend to immortality.
Now, the gods have started noticing this, and they don't like it. They don't want humans following in their footsteps and knowing what they know. So they began sending demigods down to the human realm -- the Athan. Their job is to stop the humans from ascending. If that means extinction, then so be it.
So there's more of a realm vs. realm bend to the PvP in Jade Dynasty now?
Exactly. Players can create an Athan character of their own. Humans used to be in a free-for-all, with no real "sides" to combat. Now humans might want to work together as the Athan are out there and will be working to make sure that they don't become more powerful.
This creates a true realm vs. realm aspect in Jade Dynasty. There are certain sections of the world where players can be immediately assaulted by an Athan, regardless of whether it's a PvP or PvE server.
Will the humans still be able to PvP one another?
Oh, of course. There's still backstory supporting some bad blood between the factions. Ideally, they should be working together, but anyone can PvP anyone.
Will the Athan start in a new area of the world?
You know, we've actually kinda launched a second game within Jade Dynasty. The Athan get their own starting area, NPCs, quests, monsters, armor, and items. Their area constructed is about twice the size of other areas in Jade Dynasty. So not only is it a new area, it's a large area.
What is the advantage to playing the Athan? What's different and new about them?
The previous five factions are very martial arts and skill oriented. The Athan differ with the two subclasses within their race. You have the Balo, which are like the barbarians, and the Arden, who are the archers. The Arden is one of the unique ones, as they have the ability to summon pets with skills to aid them in combat.
The Arden are very elegant, in terms of their look, and very skilled. They can also transform into various monsters to gain benefits, as one of their first skills allows them to transform into a fox which allows you to run faster. It's these small, slight advantages that the immortals have that will allow them to progress through the game.
Will pets be compatible with invigorate?
Yes, well, we had our previous pet system that allowed you to obtain pets that would aid you, but new to our system is the ability to capture pets in the world with a new pet capture skill. So absolutely, pets are certainly part of invigorate.
Now, you don't have to use a pet, but it's certainly a good idea. Having a pet out will make your damage output higher and you'll receive less damage and you'll use less potions overall. So, as a tip, you really should be using your pet while invigorating.
Can the invigorate system target pets as well, much as it targets you?
Yes indeed. There's a small bar where you can drag on your pet potions, and it will heal your pets automatically.
All right. Pretty extensive. So then, the achievements. What types of achievements can players look forward to getting?
One of the big things they wanted to do with the achievements system was to touch all types of players. So, there are achievements for defeating the world bosses, there are tons of achievements for crafting, achievements for completing the daily events, plus the PvP events, plus the miscellaneous ones, like one for jumping up and down so many times.

Get it!
After seeing this in a design magazine for $10,000, I searched for 6 months before finding and deciding on this. It's more than amazing and visitors just stand and stare. It looks exactly like the designer version. It took 2 professional installers 2 hours. I have 14ft ceilings and this is not too short.Read More
Modern and different
It really makes an impact in the home. Hard to find a good electrician to install it, but once done, it looks great and fits the location perfectly (12 foot ceiling in entry). Similar items can cost 2 or 3 times more. I would get it again for another house, but it wouldn't fit in the space (lower ceiling in entry way).Read More
Hired a professional electrician to install it for us. They said it was really difficult but they did it. End result....GORGEOUS LIGHT!!!Read More
Stunning, excellent quality, much nicer than I expected. Rainbows dance all over the room from the many, heavy crystals. Pics do not do it justice. Could not be more beautiful. Did not expect husband to like as it is modern looking, but he also loves it. Exceptional product.Read More

Beauty Demands Dedication and Coddling!
I love reading customer reviews, but hate assigning stars. What do you do with a product like this one--awesome to look at and difficult to handle? (Like good-looking people, I guess.) We wanted a chandelier that was unusual but not bizarre, and I had a vague notion that pyramids would also send some positive energy into our rebuilt home. The chandelier arrived in perfect condition. It was (and is) breath-taking, and all who behold it feel impelled to praise it. But, friends--it took two professional electricians two-and-a-half days to string the lights and hang the chandelier. It fell twice--luckily, the electricians were quick in recovering it, so no damage was done. We were told that it was quite heavy, although it seems "regular." The ceiling had to be reinforced to support it. Now that it is in place, it is impressive, and when lit, it is the most beautiful lighting I've seen--like stars. I love it--but I walk beneath it with some trepidation. I would recommend it to a HANDY and PATIENT friend, but had we not been "covered" for the installation, this review would be more negative. The result is probably worth the effort--but I could not have made the effort personally, so I can't really say. Be aware that this beauty is demanding!Read More
Beautiful product with brainless hardware design
The chandelier looks good, but installation is a nightmare. The weight of the entire unit is meant to be put on four arms that form an elastic connection to the junction box. This is probably a design preference, but I'd go with a rigid connection if I were the designer. I had to untangle almost each and every string (the end of which holds a crystal ball) that was put into a plastic bag - that was a 5-hour job for me. I was just amazed how this happened in the first place, maybe some very unhappy workers did it on purpose (just kidding). No matter you buy this as a DIY project or plan to hire a handyman, be prepared for the time you have to spend on it.Read More

I really love this product. But i have a high ceiling (20') and 47" will be too small. Is it possible to increase the height? If not, is there a similar product that is longer?
Hello, anuragbhalla. Unfortunately this product is currently out of stock, and it is not possible to predict if or when we will receive more. However, I do believe the 47-inch height refers to the chandelier itself, and you could adjust the length of the cord. If you are looking for a similar product, I think item #13266791 is lovely. For a complete selection of our modern chandeliers, please see this link: http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=modern+chandelier&SearchType=Header. Thank you for shopping with us!
Would this be well suited for a living room? or just a foyer? Just wondering about the height of it. I wanted to put it in living and if so would it touch the head of the poeple who walks below it? my ceiling is 9 ft ceiling. Thanks in advance
Hello chaitanyap, This is 47.25 inches long. I think this would be way to long for 9 foot ceilings. Sorry :( this is really pretty. Thank you for shopping with us!
It is much taller than I figured, probably nearly 4 feet to bottom. Could be shortened by about 10-12 inches by shortening and clamping each of 100 cables, a time-consuming job. Mine is placed in a tall arched window visible from the road for a striking look.
Can the lights in the mounted part be pointed in different directions or angles - so that if I mounted it on an angled ceiling, I could aim the lights to go straight down?
Hello vandoozer, The lights can not be moved. I do not think this would hang right on an angled ceiling. It looks the the glass balls would not hang level if they were on an angle. Thank you for shopping with us!
Does it come with any cables so that it can be hung loweror does it have to be mounted to the ceiling?
It doesn't come with any extra cables. Looking at the fixture, it looks like the base needs to be mounted to the ceiling.
Further to my questions, if the product does not come assembled, does it tell you how to assemble it so all the crystal balls are in the right place so it looks like the photo? Do the wires get attached to the base before or after the base is mounted in the wall?
The product will come with assembly instructions.
Does this product come assembled or do you have to add all the strings and balls yourself?
Yes, you have to string the balls.

Things I liked: Feels and operates much like a real firearm for training purposes. Great quality.
What others should know: Still haven't perfected getting paintballs to fire well. Some break in the barrel. Rubber balls and the dust balls shoot great.

Front porches and entryways have played an important role in our community's history.
Places where people gather to share stories, a respite from the summer heat; this year's Rockford in Bloom Awards will focus on residential front porches and retail business entryways.
The committee chose to focus on this aspect following Rockford Police Chief Chet Epperson's discussion of the six "P's," or pillars of change. One of the "P's" is porches.
Epperson says everyone should be able to sit on their front porch and feel safe. Committee members say beautiful porches strengthen communities, which in turn helps to reduce crime.

Performance Review
Master Class
Master Class. By Terrence McNally. Golden Theatre, New York. 16 May 1996.
Upon her death in 1977, the Greek-American soprano Maria Callas joined the ranks of those bruised icons (Dean, Monroe, Garland) whose unhappy lives have fueled posthumously the further depredations of cult industries of cultural production. Her relatives, colleagues, admirers, and recording companies have packaged and repackaged the biographical and artistic legacy of Callas endlessly, and often heedlessly, collectively fashioning a romantic narrative of an artist who suffered for love ever further from, and more obscuring of, Callas's actual achievements as a startlingly vivid and innovative singing actress.
Terrence McNally has drawn on this composite Callas before, as the patron saint of the sad Mendy in The Lisbon Traviata. The duplicity of that play's premise -- that Callas's 1957 Lisbon Violetta was a kind of Lost Grail for her fans, when in fact it had circulated widely on readily available pirate recordings -- pales before that on display in Master Class, seen at the Philadelphia Theatre Company and The Mark Taper Forum before opening on Broadway in November 1995.
In a program note, McNally avers that when Callas sings, she tells us her secrets, and we tell ours right back. Indeed, Master Class, with its repeated bromides about misunderstood artists and their courage and discipline in the face of a brutal world, would seem an especially nasty authorial fantasy of what it means to be a diva. Certainly the unprofessional behavior and remarks McNally's Callas indulges in here derive more from a generalized (and misogynist) showbiz narrative about life at the top than from Callas's career or indeed her well-documented master classes. Drawing loosely on the transcripts and tapes of the classes Callas gave at Juilliard in 1971 and 1972, McNally has fashioned a generic egotistical monster who largely ignores her students, dispenses mordant one-liners and seems to relate to music only insofar as it expresses facets of her pop psychologized and often inaccurately rendered personal biography.
The play transpires in part in "real time," with the audience treated as the master class audience and a pianist (the excellent David Loud) who enters, warms up, and gestures to an imaginary friend in the auditorium. Other Thornton Wilder touches run to a doubled program and an onstage technician with whom Callas has a running dialogue.
Zoe Caldwell, resplendent in a black Chanel suit, makes a star entrance and gives a tour-de-force performance of wit and steely charm. It remains for subsequent Marias, Patti Lupone and Faye Dunaway (who has acquired the film rights), to capture more precisely the vulgarity inherent in the role as written. The three students function chiefly as victims of Callas's (or rather McNally's) one-liners; their personal qualities are generic and obvious, and the lines placed in their mouths stretch all credulity. Nevertheless they are very well embodied by Karen Kay Cody (the awkward one), Jay Hunter Morris (the overconfident one), and Audra McDonald (the truly talented one who talks back to Callas). The standard of singing is fairly high, though one worries for the future of McDonald's lovely lyric voice after being put through Lady Macbeth's punishing Letter Scene night after night.
The fine direction by Leonard Foglia mirrors the simplicity and elegance of the single set by Michael McGarty. Brian MacDevitt's lighting comes to the fore in two reverie sequences in which Callas relives past triumphs instead of listening to her young charges. As the lighting eerily evokes La Scala's auditorium and Callas's recordings of La Sonnambula and Macbeth resound through the theatre, Caldwell delivers with considerable bravura monologues explicitly and facilely linking the music to Callas's life (Amina for betrayal and Lady Macbeth for ambition). Striking in themselves, these experiments in classical mélodrame highlight a major weakness of the play: those familiar with Callas's voice will scarcely want to listen to these sublime and harrowing recordings with the distraction of McNally's trashily reductive commentary, whereas operatic neophytes will merely be confused.
As boulevard entertainment, Master Class makes an effective star vehicle for Zoe...

Young Tory smoothies have elbowed out the spotty activists
It's been pouring with rain all day in Manchester, but I've yet to see an anorak. Why? Because I'm at the Tory conference, and the new Conservative brigade are far cooler than that. No, this year's trend is Cameroon chic – that is, soaking wet but in sharp suits. I did just spot a Barbour and brogues walking past the Town Hall, but the bloke was obviously being ironic – surely those went out of fashion with Thatcher?
There's a divide here. Top-of-the-range Macs instead of anoraks. Once you've noticed it for the first time, it's undeniable. I became aware of it this afternoon in Starbucks. As I sat down with my coffee, I gradually realised the new Conservatives were quietly watching me, sipping their smoothies with obvious suspicion. How did they know I was an outsider? Then it clicked: it was my gigantic five-year-old Dell laptop. I just so obviously wasn't one of them.
The New Tories sat there tapping away on tiny, shiny Macs. All under 25, and there wasn't a spotty pamphlet-distributor among them. No sign of any ill-fitting pinstripe suits, either. And by the sounds of things, some of them were even serious about politics – earnestly discussing George Osborne's speech and the public sector. Others were less so, and clearly thought this was an exclusive club. One table discussed vintage cars, and definitely in a 'the-one-I've got-in-my-garage' sort of way. God knows if these were parliamentary candidates, lobbyists, or just hangers-on. They certainly wouldn't have been at Tory conference four years ago, that's for sure.
Later on, I sat at the back of a think-tank debate. A young, pretty Chairwoman spoke at the front with a cut glass King's Road accent, and generously introduced a senior member of the Shadow Cabinet. In the row behind me, an old Birmingham voice grumbled: "She's a parliamentary candidate, that's why she's so bloody sycophantic." I turned around to get a view of the disgruntled Old Tory. He wore a holey woollen jumper beneath a mucky tweed jacket. A ruddy, weather-beaten face turned towards me, and his eyes narrowed. Then, looking glumly back to the front, he bit into an oily chicken leg as the audience burst into applause.

text: EE fibre broadband open to all, not just mobile customers Technology 12 June 14 by Liat Clark Shutterstock EE's home fibre broadband is now open to everyone in the UK, not just its mobile customers.From today the network provider will be selling its standard broadband to UK customers for £2.50 a month, but expect a price hike after the promotion period of 12 months to £9.95 a month. At this price, you'll get 17Mbps and weekend calls included.Its entry-level fibre broadband is priced at £5 (rising steeply to £19.95 after three months) and will get users the speedier 38Mbps, and the obligatory weekend calls. It gets progressively more interesting from there, with the priciest option (£20 per month for three months, rising to £34.96) securing you speeds of up to 76Mbps and unlimited landline calls. In addition you'll snag 1,000 minutes of calls to mobile phones, and international calls included to 30 countries. All the fibre broadband contracts last 18 months.For all these deals, the £15.75 a month line rental must be factored in on top (or £132 if you pay in one go). But for anyone already tied to a contract, EE is attempting to snatch you by offering a buyout deal of up to £100 and a one-year subscription to Norton 360. All you need to do to secure the former is upload a copy of your final bill to the EE website.Commenting on the news, uSwitch.com's Ewan Taylor-Gibson said: "EE widening its broadband offering to all should give the market a shake up, particularly with the lure of perks like two for one cinema tickets and Pizza Express vouchers on top of very competitively priced broadband. Don't miss EE Eagle tablet has landed along with 4G Wi-Fi devices "But EE's really going for the jugular with its £100 buy-out promise. This has been around for a while, but it's only now EE's really shouting about it. It's every broadband provider's worst nightmare -- and it means they will have to work that bit harder to keep customers happy and loyal."EE has retained bragging rights to having a "faster average speed than Sky and TalkTalk" on its website, a statement based on a May 2013 Ofcom report. But earlier in the year it had to suffer an embarrassing withdrawal of the statement it was using in direct mail promotions -- "Introducing Britain's most reliable broadband for staying connected" -- after BT complained it was misleading, and that EE did not actually score higher on a number of issues. It turned out the line only related to EE's fixed-line broadband, not wireless connections.Nevertheless, the network that brought us 4G via Kevin Bacon continues to plug away at its mission, announcing in May it had brought the faster speeds to three million people in 2,588 rural villages and small towns across the UK.

Glad you stopped by and so on with the show. My life isn't always perfect but I wouldn't change it for anything.
As with most I spend a better part of my time working. I chose a career in nursing. Despite the long hours I can honestly say that I love my job. I have two children whom I love & adore, as well as being being step-mommy to three wonderful kids.
For most of my life I dreamed of my Prince Charming. Hoping one day I would find my soul mate who would make all my dreams come true. Well, I finally got my fairy tale ending, married to a slightly grumpy Englishman and I couldn't be happier.
When it comes to my personality I'm caring & generous... And extremely talkative. I'm very stubborn and have a hot,fiery temper. I live my life by my emotions & let my heart lead my way which sometimes gets me into trouble. I love to laugh and admit to my sometimes lack of common sense & undeniable clumsiness. I'm feisty, bubbly & spontaneous and I love learning new things...

The Magnificent Ambersons
Aside from the missing, approximately 9 hour cut of Erich Von Stroheim's silent epic Greed, Orson Welles'sThe Magnificent Ambersons is easily the most mythologized lost American film ever made. To recap the essential narrative of how this tragic loss for American film history occurred, unlike with Citizen Kane, Welles did not have final cut on his second film for RKO, an adaptation of Booth Tarkington's turn of the century American family saga The Magnificent Ambersons. Because the studio brass at RKO didn't like or trust Welles they were happy to wrest his opus from his chubby little fingers and—since he was in Brazil at the time filming the festivities of Carnival as an emissary of the federal government as part of a North American goodwill gesture towards South America—there wasn't much he could do about it. His absence from Hollywood during the editing stage of the film and his lack of artistic control over the end result cost him dearly. After the Ambersons debacle Welles would never regain his wunderkind status that preceded his arrival in Hollywood. He was unjustly portrayed as unprofessional, someone who couldn't bring a project in on time. After all, he might run off to Brazil.
The original running time of Ambersons was just over two hours but it did not test well with a preview audience and, by the time RKO dumped it onto the market, it had been butchered to 88 minutes. So what was cut? Robert Carringer's essential chronology The Magnificent Ambersons: a Reconstruction goes a long way towards explaining what we are missing. Using the original screenplay and stills from the scenes that were cut Carringer pieces together a "reconstruction" to give us a semblance of what watching the original Welles cut would have been like. Some of Welles's amazingly complicated tracking shots had been junked in favor of artless insertions done by studio hacks. Scenes that went a long way towards explaining how the Amberson fortune dwindled to nothing were also cut. Scenes dealing with the rise of the automobile and how it led to a lowering of property values in the oldest and grandest section of the Midwestern city where the story takes place were taken out. These cuts hinder the cohesion of the story while a chopping up of what Welles maintained to his death was the single greatest shot he had ever pulled off—a breathtaking single-take, multi-level tracking shot through the Amberson Christmas ball—is surely the worst thing to ever happen anywhere to anyone or anything ever.
The Heiress
In some ways Olivia de Havilland may be one of the more underrated actresses of her generation. She wasn't as iconic as some of her peers like Katharine Hepburn or Bette Davis and not quite as beautiful as her rival sister, actress Joan Fontaine (Suspicion); instead of sexiness de Havilland brought a righteous intelligence to her roles. She was known throughout history mostly for playing Melanie in Gone with the Wind and for her association with the dashing actor Errol Flynn in their eight films together, most notably The Adventures of Robin Hood, They Died with Their Boots On, and Captain Blood. She had a number of other relevant roles in the '40s including The Snake Pit, Not as a Stranger, and Hold Back the Dawn. de Havilland won two Oscars: first, for the melodrama To Each His Own and then for her most interesting performance in William Wyler's The Heiress, based on the Henry James novel Washington Square.
The late 1800s in New York City: mousy spinster Catherine Sloper (de Havilland) lives with her wise and widowed doctor father, Austin (Ralph Richardson who in real life was only 14-years-older than de Havilland), and her doting aunt, Lavinia (Miriam Hopkins). Catherine's utterly plain and shy and unexceptional in every manner, which makes it more surprising when the handsome Morris Townsend (Montgomery Clift) shows up in town from California and immediately takes an interest in Catherine, wooing her with all his pretty-boy charms. Romanced for the first time, Catherine comes alive, becoming a giddy school girl utterly smitten with her suitor. The two lovebirds become engaged and plan to elope, but Austin doesn't trust the rogue, knowing a playboy gold digger when he sees one; he tells Catherine he will disinherit her if she marries him. He also hurts his daughter when he coldly explains that Morris could have any young hottie in NY and why would he chose her if it's not for the money? Proving Dad right, with the money not coming Morris doesn't show up for the elopement and rushes back to California. Brokenhearted, Catherine realizes for the first time she really is a dullard who can only find love if she's loaded with cash. And then to make matters worse, Austin dies and Catherine goes from a happy simpleton to a cold heiress. Years later Morris returns to try and get in on the money again, but the new self-empowered Catherine only pretends to buy into his oily trap and turns the tables on him instead, accepting a lifetime of loneliness to keep her dignity.
Seven Days in May
With the Cold War in full swing, the saga of President Kennedy peaking, another potential war in Asia, and nuclear proliferation moving at a rapid pace, the early '60s inspired a slew of solid political flicks. From nuclear madness came Fail-Safe, Dr. Strangelove, and On the Beach. Political soap operas inspired Advise & Consent and The Best Man and from those, the deep paranoia of the right, and the "military industrial complex" came director John Frankenheimer's twisted, sorta sci-fi nightmare, The Manchurian Candidate. For Frankenheimer's follow-up he would combine all the genres (nukes, politics and right wing paranoia) for the slick White House thriller Seven Days in May which features Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas appearing together for the second time, after Gunfight At The O.K. Corral (not including Lancaster's cameo in The List of Adrian Messenger). Just as he did brilliantly in Sweet Smell of Success this time Lancaster took the supporting bad guy role. It's a great showdown between two of Hollywood's most sculpted physiques of their era.
Based on a novel by Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey, Douglas plays Colonel Martin "Jiggs" Casey, a Pentagon Joint Chiefs of Staff aide to the powerful James Mattoon Scott (Lancaster). Jiggs is a moderate, more devoted to upholding the Constitution than playing politics, but the guys above him are stone-cold hawks and don't like it when liberal President Jordan Lyman (Fredric March) signs a nuclear disarmament agreement with the Soviets. Reading cables, hearing secondhand conversations, and finding an incriminating crumpled note leads Jiggs to deduce that Scott is planning a military coup against The White House. He takes his suspicion directly to the president and then begins a cat and mouse game of cloak n' dagger, teaming with the most trusted members of the president's inner circle, including his top aide, Paul Girard (Martin Balsam), a crusty drunken Southern congressman played wonderfully by Edmond O'Brien (he won an Oscar ten years earlier for his performance in The Barefoot Contessa), and finally Jiggs cozies up to a boozy Washington socialite, Eleanor Holbrook (Ava Gardner), who knows all the town's players and harbors secrets.
Miracle on 34th Street
No other film in history has been able to capture the spirit of Christmas and toss cinders on the commercialism that the holiday has come to represent quite like Miracle on Thirty-Fourth Street. At 60-something-years-old, the film is still just as relevant, funny, and, ultimately, moving as it ever was. Like How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the original animated version), It's a Wonderful Life,and the more recent A Christmas Story, Miracle on Thirty-Fourth Street has become standard, even compulsive, viewing during the holiday season. Today's kids may think that Christmas is some kind of video game or a season to shop and spend money, but Miracle on Thirty-Fourth Street has reminded generations what it's supposed to be about. As Mr. Kringle says in the film, "Christmas isn't just a day; it's a frame of mind."
The beautiful but icy Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara) is a cynical single mom who works for the glamorous Macy's Department Store in New York City. While handling the big Thanksgiving Day Parade she pulls a bearded old man (Edmund Gwenn) off the street to play Santa Claus. The twist is he actually claims to be the jolly toy maker and even calls himself Kris Kringle. The good-natured, but possibly delusional, old coot is so convincing Macy's hires him to be their full-time in-store Santa. Meanwhile, Doris's daughter, Susan (Natalie Wood), is her mom's mini-me, with equal disdain for childish things like make-believe. But when she befriends her do-gooder neighbor, a bachelor lawyer with the unfortunate name of Fred Gailey (John Payne), he encourages her to start to act like a kid and gets Doris to instantly open her heart to romance. All three befriend Kris, while he and Fred try to loosen up the two uptight females. Little Susan is taken aback when she see Kris speak Dutch to a peewee foreign girl, giving her the idea that maybe this guy is the real deal.
Billy Liar
Set in the rapidly changing times of 1960s England, Billy Liar tells the story of a young man who's impervious to change and weak from imagination. Most teenagers go through a phase of deception—one in which they exaggerate their circumstances and experiences in order to get respect and acceptance from their peers. Young boys and girls brag about certain sexual encounters or invisible spouses, or some claim that generic items bought on sale were expensive. These claims at excellence are sometimes made out of boredom, but oftentimes are done just for the chance to exercise their imaginative muscles. When they reach adulthood, these traits are usually written off as juvenile and grown-up mentalities eventually set in. Our protagonist, Billy Fisher (Tom Courtenay), is one of those young adults who can't seem to make that transition.
His town accentuates his conflicting views towards change and offers a great metaphor. The majority of the people there don't change, nor do they stray from their safety zones as far as relationships and employment. Housewives wait on edge to see if someone has dedicated a song to them on the popular radio station, "Housewives' Choice." Young men scuffle for employment and young ladies work towards becoming their future housewives. But as these people carry on their daily routines, change invades them via demolitions of prized structures and the increase of blacks in many positions. Billy is constantly trying to play by the rules and bend them at the same time, but what he really wants to do is tear down the entire foundation and start anew.
The Wild One
Though that amazing string of performances in A Streetcar Named Desire, Viva Zapata!, Julius Caesar, and On the Waterfront earned Marlon Brando four straight Oscar nominations (finally winning for Waterfront) and made him the most celebrated acting talent of his generation, it's actually his work as Johnny in The Wild One that made him an icon of rebellion and helped inspire the youth culture that was just beginning to emerge in America (and abroad). The Wild One was the first "biker picture" to penetrate mainstream consciousness, a genre that would become very popular in independent film ten lean years later.
Though produced by issue-director/producer Stanley Kramer, giving the film an overly dramatic "this is important" vibe, it's actually a really fun B-movie, carried by Brando's cocky performance. His Johnny leads his biker gang almost like a cult leader. The gang, with their rowdy antics, tries to impress their messiah, but Johnny, with his southern/ be-bop accent, is a man of few words. Hitting the road looking for kicks, Brando and his gang stumble on a small town where they instantly catch the attention of the law and some uptight citizens, and a saloon owner invites them to stay for beer and sandwiches. The innocent young barmaid Kathie (the very beautiful Mary Murphy) catches Johnny's eye. It doesn't help when he declares "I don't like cops," even though her dad is the town's sheriff (Robert Keith, father of Brian), and is actually very evenhanded and sympathetic to Johnny and his pals.

The Best Years of Our Lives
It's not a great movie but then perhaps it is still the best of its kind of film. There's an element of national catharsis that The Best Years of Our Lives channels, redeeming it from whatever middlebrow pretensions it uses to get there. In aesthetic terms it may be nothing more than a syrupy drama that presumes to show the "reality" that G.I.s from WWII faced when they returned home but, clunky soap operatics aside, it does fulfill a need for some kind of closing statement from Hollywood about the emotional toll the whole wretched thing took on average people.
Similar ground had been covered by the turgid Since You Went Away two years earlier but whereas that celluloid headache made you pine for the hours lost trudging through its "epic" pretensions, The Best Years of Our Lives has enough good stuff to make it worthwhile viewing.
The film follows three G.I.s at varying levels of command returning home, just as World War II ends, to a Midwestern town modeled, apparently, on Cincinnati. Frederic March plays a genial middle-aged boozy banker with a grown daughter and Myrna Loy for a wife while Dana Andrews plays a young war hero who returns to his crummy soda jerk job and terrible marriage. Harold Russell, a non-actor who had his hands blown off in WWII combat, plays a variation on himself (he would go on to win two Oscars for the role—Best Supporting Actor and a special honorary Oscar). The three men, heretofore unknown to one another, become fast friends on the plane ride home. We follow all three of their stories as they adjust to life at home and see their lives intertwine in meaningful ways.
For such a grand Samuel Goldw...
Anatomy of a Murder
Director Otto Preminger seemed to look for controversial subjects all through his career but with his two hour and forty minute courtroom masterpiece Anatomy of a Murder, he might've gone farther than 1959 audiences could handle. The film is about a lawyer defending a man who's accused of killing a guy who possibly raped his wife. If that wasn't lurid enough for audiences, they especially got all angsty over a word that was repeated in the trial, that horrific word…. "panties" (you know, women's underwear). For anyone who can get past such a lewd word, Anatomy of a Murder is very dense in detail, almost an epic in just exploring the small details of a legal case. And it's still one of the best lawyer flicks ever.
The film is loaded with talent on both sides of the camera including a famous title sequence by Saul Bass (Psycho) and a catchy score by Duke Ellington (strange since the film takes place in Michigan's Upper Peninsula—not exactly a "jazzy" part of the country. Also, Duke appears in a cameo as well.) Michigan Supreme Court Justice John D. Voelker wrote the book based on a real life case; the script was shrewdly adapted by Wendell Mayes (The Poseidon Adventure, Death Wish). It's also shot in cool black & white by the dependable cinematographer Sam Leavitt (A Star Is Born, Exodus, Major Dundee) and it was edited by another pro, Louis R. Loeffler (Laura, The Long Hot Summer). And of course director/producer, the Hungarian-born Preminger himself, was one of the big guns of his era, with a directing career going back to the Noir period (Laura, Whirlpool). Anatomy of a Murder was easily his best film but everything he did, no matter the overall quality, was always interesting.
Hangover Square
Three cheers are due for the unsung back lot maestro, John Brahm. His work is fairly ubiquitous; in his day he directed several major studio films and later countless episodes of several different TV shows, but his name isn't found on most lists of great Golden Age directors. This is a shame because within a couple of years (roughly 1942–1947) he directed some superb thrillers for Twentieth Century Fox that gave producer Val Lewton, and directors Orson Welles, Fritz Lang, and Alfred Hitchcock a run for their murder movie money. Brahm, like the Warner Brothers' in-house dynamo, Michael Curtiz, was a filmmaker so adept at the art of directorial craftsmanship that you remember his great films more than you remember his authorial imprint on them. Though his last name never became critical shorthand for a specific style (unlike the terms "Wellesian" or "Hitchcockian") he was a director who, with the right project, was second to none.
Hangover Square is a thriller set in London during the gaslight era and things get off to an appropriately grisly start as it opens with a brutal murder and a corpse in flames. Laird Creggar plays George Harvey Bone, a troubled pianist who works too much and is just on the cusp of greatness with the latest piece he is writing. He suffers from blackouts and he worries that he may have been the one who committed the aforementioned murder. George Sanders plays a Scotland Yard detective who doesn't think George is capable of homicide but later learns otherwise. George leaves his fiancé, Fay (Barbara Chapman) for the low-rent charms of a burlesque performer, Netta Longdon (Linda Darnell) who is conspiring against him with another of her lovers to fleece the composer of his songs for her own use. This arrangement is not, shall we say, sustainable, and pretty soon there are more blackouts and more murders.Continue Reading
The Enchanted Cottage
If you are impervious to the charms of a sentimental love story beautifully told and with ravishingly romantic art direction then please click away at once! For who could deny the simple pleasures of a small film about love filled with such strange charms? The Enchanted Cottage is hardly a work of great art for the ages but by some mysterious combination of good acting, gorgeous cinematography, and just the right amount of bewitching weirdness it manages to transcend its Hollywood cornball trappings and become a minor kind of classic—one that says something profound about love as being both simple and eternally mysterious.
The film opens at an evening gathering of sophisticated middle-aged Waspish types in a Massachusetts mansion where the guests are all gathered in the living room of the host. A blind pianist with a beautifully cultivated accent (Herbert Marshall) is regaling the assembled guests with the story of how his two friends, Oliver and Laura, fell in love before he performs the new piece inspired by them. As he begins performing the piece we flash back to the first meeting of the two and the role that a cottage, an enchanted cottage, played in the story of their falling in love.
