dear sowbagyavathy renuka , ' dheerga sumangali bhava ' wishes the couple at the same time . not just ' sumangali ' , but ' dheerga sumangali ' ! although i don ' t know sanskrit , i dare say , ' dheerga ' possibly means gloriously , satisfactoriliy etc . ' dheerga ' may be equal to ' pushkalam ' . may be something similar to ' பதினாறும் பெற்று பெரு வாழ்வு வாழ்க ' ! i am not knowledgable enough to discuss this . dheerka sumangali bhava ' . ' பதினாறும் பெற்று பெரு வாழ்வு வாழ்க ' . cheers !

the blessing
dhirgha sumangali bhava
is relevant to old times when the condition of a widow was mostly bad . these days it should be
dhirgha dhanwan bhava
. wealth can take care of every thing including hospital expenses . as for the priest reciting the mangalasutra slokam , i would add that the priest somewhere else say
mama pitharam udhishya
, etc . he ( priest ) is the brahman and omnipresent , he is the husband , he is the son and he is the father and so on .

opposite to the title , preeti became ` vidhavai ' in few years of marriage . in arranged marriages , elders bless young brides ` dheerga sumangali bhava ' which means that the bride lives her full life with her husband and die at the old age before her husband ( which is considered to be a blessing ) . elders bless young couple by saying ` pathinaarum petru peru vaalvu valzhga ' which means that they get all the sixteen wealths in their life and live happily ( and not sixteen children as commonly misunderstood ) including children .

the nadaswaram was being played with utmost precision and perfection , women were all decked up in their best collections of dharmavaram pattu saree , men were all in their exotic best in their sparkling white n white shirt n dhoti , small girls were in their exotic best with their multi - colored traditional half - saree with jasmine adoring their young and long tresses and the whole atmosphere was gala at its best . it was the perfect traditional wedding set - up one could ever wish for…
preethi was getting married to her distant relative prem . prem was not only a distant relative but also a childhood friend of preethi . the marriage was nevertheless an arranged - marriage . prem was working for a small company as an engineer . preethi had just finished her graduation in commerce and was full of dreams of a happy wedded life .
when the muhurtham time arrived , the archakar shouted getti - melam - - - getti - melam and with the perfection of a symphony , all the musicians sitting across started trumpeting their nadaswaram and tabla with a high pitch and prem tied the “thali” around preethi’s ever - inviting neck . while preethi was all smiles and tears , prem was all smiles whilst bundle of nerves . the rituals went on for another hour and the couple was set free to move around .
preethi went into the bride’s room in the mantap and met with all the relatives who had arrived from near and far - off places and hours flew by the minutes and days flew by the hours and months flew by the days . any progress ? any progress ? questioned near and dear ones started asking preethi . did you check - up with a doctor ? and what not – all sorts of assumptions were being made adding to the mental agony for preethi .
it was prem and preethi who knew the reasons . prem mentioned that since he was not very well off – they could have a child when he was fit - enough meaning when he gets into a good job with a good salary . preethi agreed .
after a year or so , prem moved into a better job with a better salary . their happiness knew no bounds . they went for their real honeymoon to ooty for a week . preethi went to all those temples which she had visited earlier , to pray for a better break for prem , to thank all those gods now .
as months passed by , preethi felt it was the right time to get into a new home of their own ; de - linking prem’s aged parents all alone . she justified saying it was the right time to set up a family of their own – disconnecting the dependence of prem on his father . for this proposal to go nuclear , prem disagreed saying he wanted to have a fat bank balance . preethi never agreed to this – saying a small loan at this stage would not seem such a big burden .
preethi instead of convincing prem and father - in - law , protested vehemently . neither prem nor his father could understand her motivation to go nuclear . preethi confided in me that she enjoyed very little freedom at home ; she could not understand prem the extent she liked ; she mentioned that even to go for a weekend movie , prem would invite his parents ; she had to labor at home with the daily chores ; she felt constrained when her college friends wanted to visit her for a day or two – because her in - laws protested ; never a day passed by without a stinker of a comment on her cooking ; in short she felt out - of - place . she never felt the homely feeling that she enjoyed at her parents home .
on repeated pleadings by prem , preethi mentioned that prem’s brother and his wife were making nasty comments about them being dependent on his father . in actual , prem was the one who was taking care of all the household expenses . so the impression of prem and mrs . prem depending on prem’s father’s pension was just a false - notion . despite prem’s pleadings for couple of month’s time , preethi , never agreed .
on getting a loan from a bank , prem and preethi , moved into a rented apartment . as days passed by , life in the new nuclear home became monotonous . preethi lost zest in life for unknown reasons and that reflected in her cooking and other household chores . despite prem asking for reasons , she never replied straight . she started yelling at prem . prem was confused . prem adjusted to the new scenario with the greatness of a true sage and moved on . when there was food at home , he had – without protesting on poor - taste or poor - quality of preparation .
i wondered what else prem could do . now when i asked preethi – she was my schoolmate and we have been together for more than a decade now – she never replied straight . but with me and our other common friends , she showed no change . she was as bubbly as she has ever - been . but the problems in marriage showed up in her sharp reactionary comments and attitude in life . but she did mention that the way she chatted for hours with prem before marriage , was missing now . she mentioned that she had expected that she would be chatting more with prem after marriage and the quality and content of chats would be much more deeper and more meaningful . she wondered whatever happened to that . words were not there to blurt out ; neither were they finding any topics of mutual interest to discuss .
when i asked prem , if there was any problem in marriage – “problems ? no , no way . ” prem was as charming as he has ever been . but for some strange reasons , the charm between prem and preethi , vanished for reasons not known to the outside world .
preethi , are you upset that you don’t have a kid ? - i asked mildly but in the straightest possible manner . she kept mum and never replied . when i fired the same question to prem – “no . no way . when i cannot take care of my own needs and dreams , there is no way can i have a child” – was the straight reply . did you convince preethi on this aspect ? – “yes” was another straight reply . i wondered the reasons for the chemistry to vanish between them . all the elements of normal marriage were missing between them .
prem was getting all the more frustrated seeing his friends and colleagues happily married and having fun in life . he felt that there was no fun in life without a good marriage and that there was an end to all problems . in this case , he thought the best was to get a divorce . preethi also , apparently , felt the same – but never opened her mind on this contentious issue called “divorce” .
“preethi , will you accept a divorce ? ” – i asked her . she thundered “what the hell ? are you trying to break my marriage ? do you have any vested interest in breaking my marriage ? - and all hell broke loose . i did not pursue further in this matter and left her alone .
prem was fed up with the marriage and he felt that there was no way he could continue like this forever . hence he approached his dad saying he wanted to divorce . to his dismay , his father replied straight – “take a vacation and come back . everything will be alright” .
when prem approached his mother – she passed away with a massive heart attack .
behind prem’s charming smiles were hidden all the dejections that one could ever have in a failed marriage . but none in the outside world could ever guess this .
prem’s dad stuck to his position and said that problems in marriage are all common . divert your attention from this issue for few days and everything will become ok . prem was disgusted with this reply and vowed that he never would come back to his father seeking help or guidance .
though embarrassing , very reluctantly he approached his aunt to help him . but in vain . when he approached his elder brother , he just laughed away the matter , saying – “baby , c’mon you are too young to talk big things like divorce . it will be a shame on our entire family if you even mention the word divorce outside these four walls – imagine the depths of shame if you divorce – go go . take a vacation and come back ; everything will be alright . ”
prem , a shy and god - fearing person by nature did not have the guts to rock the boat , in a single mighty stroke .
months passed by and the chemistry that existed between prem and preethi before marriage never returned – according to both prem and preethi . prem felt highly disgusted and even thought of committing suicide .
prem was cheerful as ever and when he invited me for a dinner – i agreed reluctantly . he took me to a five star hotel . “why did you not invite preethi ? ” “to hell with her . don’t get her name here . i just came to relax and wanted to have a peaceful dinner – sans crowd . ” “ok… cool down . i bet you will have the dinner of your lifetime tonight” i cheered him . while having food…he cribbed – “i have cleared the personal loan ; acquired a car ; acquired all the fancy items that i had dreamt for many years now ; also acquired a small apartment of my own ; but i am getting frustrated in life despite all these positives . i did not buy all these on my own volition – it was preethi who egged me to each one of these . now still she is not content and i don’t know what else she wants . apparently she herself is confused . i feel like killing her . none in the family are coming to my rescue – no one wants to help me . i am frustrated . ” seeing him in a very dejected and charged up mood , i thought it was better he stay away from preethi for the weekend for a change . so i invited him to my apartment .
in the apartment , passions ran high when prem was narrating his sad stories . i was completely overwhelmed listening to his tragedy in life – when i came back to senses we were on the sofa au - naturel . i saw prem deep in sleep . i slept back . the next morning , with a sense of guilt , i had my longest bath ever . a while later…“prem…prem get up – it’s already nine . ” finding no response from prem , i shook his head…but his head was hanging with saliva out and…he was gone forever .
i was shattered to the core ; carrying the unbearable pain in the heart and confusion in my mind ; i went back to kerala to be with my ever - loving parents ; and stayed there for few years .
when i came to chennai on an occasion , i thought of calling - on preethi . there she was…sitting alone in a dark room , playing with a doll . “preethi , do you recognize me ? ” staring at me like a wounded tiger , she whispered – “why am i alive . kill me…kill me…” . clutching the doll she cried , “this is my daughter . her father is prem . do you know ? ”
i called out “sada . . sada…” came running my 9 year old daughter sada…with tears rolling down my eyes , i was shattered beyond control and comprehension . sada is the living memory of that portentous day with prem…
sixthsenseman : thanks for stopping by . . . i agree . . . expectations growing exponentially and level of patience spiralling downwards - i feel , is the root cause of all problems / discord in current day marriages .
it was a masterpiece . you have rightly thrown light on the problem faced by the majority of couple . one can find many preetis and prems in the modern world . the nuclear families had added fuel further to the breaking marriages . expectations are very high from each other in married couples and patience is much lesser . further the sense of insecurity is there ! one longs for more and more . important decisions like , having a child or marrying is deferred in the name of settling or in the name of career . divorce seems to be the only solution . in fact , one should give enough breathing space to other spouse so that there is no suffocation in the married life .
the emergence of sara is the most impressive part of your story . what a tragic end to the marriage of prem and preeti ! but we should try to peep deep into ourselves to find the answers !
wow ! an excellent analytical comment - i suspect you beat even google - analytics software .
changing partners frequently as in the usa - where about 60 % of the marriages ends in divorce urltoken - is not desirable in indian context , for the simple reason that about 80 % of the girls here are dependant on husband for a living . the divorced women may fall into wrong traps like prostitution , etc .
in todays ' indian metros divorce rate has increased tremendously [ actually doubled in 2006 in chennai as per a report in deccan chronicle couple of weeks back ] because the expectations are not only very high but skewed . every guy [ expressly wishes ] wants to see an aishwarya in his wife and every girl [ implicitly desires ] wants to see a sharuk khan or amir or some other hero in her husband . that is the reason while guys / gals go through 100s of profiles during the match - making process - and after marriage - within a couple of weeks they realise that the dreams were one thing and actuality is something very different - resulting in discord . it is said that guys imagine the
stuff
beneath the saree and girls imagine
stuff
[ the heart ] beneath the skin - during the match making ceremony - which [ imagined calculation ] i personally feel in most cases will go awry . coming back to the report , it also mentioned that divorce rate was very very high among employed females - in this highly materialistic world relationship also has become a commodity - which is a sad thing that is happening to fast growing indian metros .
anyway it is a complex topic to be debated , but very interesting . why don ' t you come out with a blog on this and i guess will be a sure fire hit in sulekha .
in arranged marriages , there are many benefits . besides matching horoscopes of both , they see character , status and everything before marrying . in such marriages , relatives get together and share happier moments , elders bless young couples and life starts smoothly . some marriages end in failures which cannot be avoided .
in this case , preeti got frustrated because of no issue of children and prem was not interested in having child till he is financially secured . he was solely responsible for the precarious situation of preeti . in india , elders start enquiring bride ( within few months ) as to whether she has become pregrant or not ? at one stage , it becomes a head ache and if she remains childless for few years , then the lift becomes horrible . in this case prem did not want to become father and the marriage went into rocks . though he had all comforts , preeti could not be satisfied mainly for this reason and he remained admant which caused his life .
true , life becomes boring at one stage without children . after all , how long one can see each other ' s face . we have a proverb in tamil , ` mogam muppathu naal , aasai arubathu naal ' . couples indulge in sexual pleasures for some days . after few months , it too becomes boring . that ' s why to carry on life , children are needed . children not only make parents happy , but they make grand parents also happy and keep them engaged .
prem ' s option of getting divorce was not approved by their parents and elders for flimsy reasons is appreciable . in india , parents do not approve divorces for flimsy reasons . for them , life would have been more pleasant , had he listened to preeti ( of having child ) .
in metros , couples start living on mutual understanding ( without the botheration of bearing and rearing children ) . as long as mutual understanding exists between them , they live together . once misunderstanding creeps in , they opt for separation and go for another partner ( like western culture ) .
i failed to get an apt title for this piece - finally after about 15 minutes of pondering , i thought of this title and placed it . - the title means
wish you a long married life
but in this case , it turns contrary - to that extent the title is in direct contrast to the end ! ! !
the point i was trying to make was that the
group dynamics of elders
need to radically shift .
does the title old some significance ? . . . . did not zctully get its meaning .
the story on the whole begings well . . . it has a direction , the end though seems to have been made up with limited choices . . . as you said the start was a reality you could see and the end . . seems to have been made up , well . . it shows .
the good part is the narration , the pointers towards elders leaving things at
go get a vacation
, and the materialistic endevours instead of the spritual kinds . . . nice write uips on the whole
cultural restrictions are only as strong as we let them to be .
- i like this and it is very apt .
i was not looking for that explicit explanation that you have give : that was quiet understandable . there can be several interpretations . but no , i was not bothered by the lack of the explicit conclusion in the story . i was talking about the problem between prem and preethi .
about your two questions , 1 > elders do come to
help
. 2 > no they do not have to stick together .
i have seen the two things happen so many times . so they are not some exceptions .
cultural restrictions are only as strong as we let them to be . usually , we use them as excuses to cover our own inadequacies or lack of personal strength . one has to stop questioning
them
and start questioning
oneself
.
thanks for stopping by . . . i agree these things never happened in the past . . .
storywise well written , backgorund well portrayed , the build up to the issue was fine . . . but where is the issue . issue itself missing . . . answer is found towards the end . . . childlessness . . . whose fault is that . . . why did nt they check out it out with a doctor ?
what prompted preethi to distant herself from prem ? it is her urltoken is her upbringing . may be she is upset with herself ? the guilt that she can ' t give birth to a baby . . . the guilt that she cant bear his child . . . therefore she created a racket . . . rather pre - emptive strategy of offensive in nature she was adopting . . . to defend herself before prem expresses his strong desire to have a kid . . . these situations did happen in the past and are happening today too . . .
its good that he died . . . what is unrealistic in your story is that in today ' s context gals dont go mad . . . they keep the guy and his family under threat . . .

dear all , i have one more question : in the hindu wedding rites is consent asked anywhere from both groom and bride ? being present for the marriage to takes place only implies implied consent . is there any mantra recited for consent and may be priest also answers on proxy ? i have one more question also . . i recently attended a homa at a house of a relative and the priest was reciting ganapathi atharva seersha and he had missed a couple of stanzas and also it was not recited according to sequence he was mixing up lines . . i just have a question ( i dont doubt his bhakthi ) but how effective is a homa if the priest is fumbling verses . . it goes rather unnoticed cos not many know sanskrit out here in malaysia . and also if a priest who gets it right but has no idea what the meaning is how effective will be the homas they conduct ? most priests i have seen even those from india are unable to pronounce
sha
and even a line like
sarva vigno pashantaye
is prnounced as sarva vigno pasantaye
do this minor errors affect the outcome of the homas . . i am asking this q purely on technical grounds as i do not doubt the bhakthi of any priest i have heard before . . feedback please . . .

iyya , as a practical minded person i am with you 100 % . i have widowed cousins who marry their children with themselves being present , fully dressed to the hilt , and fully participating in all the functions , except dharavaathu kodukkal . not only i found there is support for this in our family , which i would consider a values - in - transition - re - modern - traditional tending towards what is acceptable today . ie i do not think , these young fashionable looking widows would be thus participating without the acceptance of the key folks on both sides . which to me is great gratification , as it was about 25 years ago , a widowed cousin , with her own earnings married off her daughter and herself was consigned to the back corners of the kalyana mantapam and no one except me , appeared to be upset about it . times , they have indeed changed for better , for the women , and as a consequence for the men too , as the current day guys do not have this ugly blotch of prejudice towards their own mothers and sisters and daughters .
i do not know whether there is a shastra sammadam in treating the widows like that in old days . but definitely the ladies must have contributed a lot to the misery . if the present day ladies realize that , we can think we are on a changing mode . with due respect to modern ladies , we have still a long way to go .

prophecy and 99 & 44 / 100 % dead were both a lot funnier than the extraordinary seaman – even if it was unintentional – and a lot more entertaining . but a laughless comedy is like watching something slowly expire and die .
the extraordinary seaman was released in 1969 , after having sat on the shelf for two years . it was frankenheimer’s first comedy and one of his most poorly received films , despite a cast that included david niven , faye dunaway , and alan alda . far better was the…
it is an extraordinary thing , the way they introduce players in spain . not for the denizens of la liga a quick photocall at the training ground with a scarf .
on saturday , october 7 , our vicar , bishop francis kane , and our dean , fr . larry lisowski , will celebrate the rite of installation of our new pastor , fr . paul seaman during the 5 : 00 p . m . mass . please plan to attend this extraordinary celebration in the life of saint clement parish !
the extraordinary seaman is strictly steerage cargo . a tepid story keel , not entirely - but almost - devoid of amusement strength , has been ballasted with padding newsreel footage and other effect to yield an unstable comedy vessel . david niven , faye dunaway , alan alda , mickey rooney and jack carter end up awash in the artistic debris .

the extraordinary seaman
is one commander flinchaven , a ghost , no less , whose soul can be released from the curse of a disappointed grandfather only after being properly dispatched in battle with an enemy ship at least of the cruiser class . how the wandering commander achieves salvation through the bumbling of a crew of incompetents makes a readable story , albeit a bit long on imagination and short on plot . perhaps the only thing really wrong is that mr . rock , like flinchaven , takes himself a bit too seriously , and therefore what could have been a tellingly whimsical commentary on a bottom - heavy structure of values becomes a very ordinary
straight
novel of no particular distinction .
al , thanks for those interesting tidbits and catching that jack carter error . pratley was probably trying to put a positive spin on the extraordinary seaman as a favor to frankenheimer but any anti - war satire is mia in this one . for some bizarre reason , hitler , stalin , mussolini , churchill , fdr and a few others make cameo appearances in the film’s finale . also , hitler , stalin , tojo , “and millions of nazis , japanese and americans” are credited in that last poster in my blog – it’s almost like a “kids in the hall” joke except there is no funny context for it in this movie .
i first saw this movie in 1969 , and have seen it on cable recently . all i ever see are bad reviews on this movie . it is a great movie , with a great cast , david niven , faye dunaway , mickey rooney , alan alda , jack carter . now these are top notch actors . do you think they needed money so badly , they would make a stinker ? no . the movie is fun and enjoyable to watch . i hope it is released worldwide , like they seem to do with a lot of movies that are truly stinkers . long live the extraordinary seaman . j . r . savannah , ga

that is the gamble the club make . they break the transfer record with alacrity in part to demonstrate they operates at a different level from the rest of the football world .

a royal navy officer who went mad
and tries to get his three companions to join him in a mutiny to stop finchhaven , but they refuse to help . ( incidentally , the companions are a motorcycle mechanic , a cook , and an enlisted sailor . ) so when they stop to barter for supplies with a few local natives on a raft , the lieutenant finds excuses to get the cook and the seaman onto the raft and clear , while finchaven rams the curmudgeon into an enemy warship . . . that turns out to be the american ship on which the japanese admiral is surrendering . finchhaven ' s furious ancestors thus condemn him to spend the rest of eternity on board an

in 1941 during the desert war in abyssinia the italian captain blasi and the british major richardson alternate between being bitter enemies or best friends depending on the circumstances .
i’m a big admirer of john frankenheimer’s early work from such live tv dramas as the comedian ( 1956 ) and days of wine and roses ( 1957 ) to all fall down ( 1962 ) , birdman of alcatraz ( 1962 ) , the manchurian candidate ( 1962 ) and seconds ( 1966 ) . i’ve also enjoyed several of the more commercial projects he helmed throughout his career such as seven days in may ( 1964 ) , black sunday ( 1977 ) and ronin ( 1998 ) . but he’s also had his share of boxoffice bombs and critically maligned movies over the years – the horsemen ( 1971 ) , story of a love story aka impossible object ( 1973 ) , 99 and 44 / 100 % dead ( 1974 ) , dead bang ( 1989 ) , the island of dr . moreau ( 1996 ) , to name a few . yet the most notoriously panned film of his career is easily the extraordinary seaman and in frankenheimer’s own words , “it was the only movie i’ve made which i would say was a total disaster . ” so i finally decided to see for myself if it lives up to its notoriety .
only the best in the world were entitled to wear the white shirt . he described the deal to bring bale to the club as “intense and complex negotiations” , which may well qualify as the nicest thing anyone has ever said about levy’s bargaining style .

pratley writes : “the very ship looks funny , the shape of it , the way it wallows along . the characters look funny and constantly behave in an amusing way . ”
bale is their latest experiment in excess , bought for £85 million in the teeth of the worst recession in spanish history , just to prove they are still the leaders in the game .

that ' s just about all you can say about this film that is so bad you simply have to gape in wonderment . although just 80 minutes long , the film features an extraordinary amount of padding via moronic file footage of such events as bess truman trying unsuccessfully to break a bottle of champagne across an aircraft ' s nose . the plot has something to do with a ghost ( david niven ) whose old scow of world war i vessel is discovered by some american sailors in the final days of world war ii in the pacific . the producers probably thought that with alda , rooney , dunaway ( just off her
bonny and clyde
fame , recall ) and frankenheimer helming the whole thing , it couldn ' t miss . well , it did .

the film was a financial failure - frankenheimer later said it was never properly released because the producers went bankrupt .
here is our comprehensive collection on the forgotten war . is the peninsula entering a new era of peace and prosperity ?
all those lessons he has been taking paid off on monday when gareth bale stood before the massed ranks of the faithful at the bernabéu stadium and addressed them in their own language .
the production faced one obstacle after another . after failing to find locations in the philippines , frankenheimer settled on a remote mexican location on the gulf coast , a literal backwater far from civilization , where equipment and supplies had to be trucked in through the jungle . faye dunaway recalls
nearly daily tropical downpours
that
could drive anyone to the brink of madness .
the rain sent the film over schedule while , according to frankenheimer , misunderstandings with the script supervisor ( hired from the local mexican industry , where they did things a little differently ) left them with significantly less material in the can than they assumed . faced with a film well under feature length , frankenheimer interspersed clips of newsreels and classic wartime movies through the film , played as ironic counterpoint to the incompetence of the characters on screen , to pad out the running time .
also , as you mention , the timing was terrible . movies like wackiest ship in the army and operation petticoat were passe .
dismissed by the people i saw it with in the theater , this is john frankenheimer trying to channel rene clair in the ghost goes west but the connection gets broken during the seance . seeming overlong , inconclusive , and a bit too cute , it ' s not where frankenheimer ' s talent lay . if you can unwind , however , you might just enjoy alan alda ' s perplexity with the always interesting and elegant david niven in this mild fantasy which tries to form itself in the pacific during the war .
cast : david niven ( cmdr . john finchhaven , rn ) , faye dunaway ( jennifer winslow ) , alan alda ( lt . ' j . g . ' morton krim ) , mickey rooney ( cook 3 / c w . j . oglethorpe ) , jack carter ( chief gunners mate orville toole ) , juano hernandez ( ali shar ) , manu tupou ( seaman 1 / c lightfoot star ) , barry kelley ( adm . barnwell ) , leonard o . smith ( dyak ) , richard guizon ( dyak ) , john cochran ( dyak ) , jerry fujikawa ( adm . shimagoshi ) .

indeed , as with many a madrid occasion , the absences spoke as noisily as those present . just five summers ago a similarly ebullient welcome was made for kaka , 40 , 000 spilling into the ground to watch the smiley brazilian take his place on the pantheon .
the installation of a new pastor is a wonderful event in the life of a parish and a powerful way to mark a new and exciting chapter in the life and growth of a community of faith .
the movie is , allegedly , a satire , a war comedy , set near the end of ww ii in the south pacific , in which four shipwrecked crew members from the us navy come upon an old royal navy cutter , the hms curmudgeon , beached on a sandbar . the only person aboard is lt . commander finchhaven , an elegant , bearded englishman wearing the dress whites of a previous war . the americans help him repair the ship and get it sailing again , only to be informed that he intends to sail to leyte to sink an enemy cruiser , and nothing can persuade him to do otherwise .

by the way , at one point near the end of the blog you refer to jack carter as jack carson . carson , of course , was a beloved contract player on the warner lot . carter was a stand - up comic who appeared often on ed sullivan’s show .
what greeted bale was less an introduction than an investiture : welcome the new prince of wales . or , as the memorabilia on sale outside the ground insisted he should now be termed , hello “galactico gareth” .
the biggest of all these madrid introductions was for cristiano ronaldo back in 2009 . that day 80 , 000 packed the stadium to greet the world’s most expensive player after his purchase from manchester united . so full was it that day , fans were pouring on to the pitch .
after tottenham’s daniel levy had turned the final days of negotiation over his transfer into a game of who - blinks - first , the platform had been hastily taken down ahead of the weekend game against bilbao .
tracked from the moment he arrived at the stadium by a television crew , bale , dressed in a sleek , slim - fit suit , did indeed look visibly thrilled to be stepping out at the bernabéu .
so he put on the full madrid kit and , sporting a pair of vibrant lemon boots , headed down to the pitch , where he performed a few keepy - uppies , kicked a bunch of footballs into the stands and – to a ringing ovation – kissed the famous crest on his white shirt . with that the easy part was done .

i actually paid money to see this when it ran at the sunset drive - in here in evansville , in , in 1969 and have became aware over the years that i was among the very few paying customers the film ever had . i remember going because of the rather small ad that played up david niven’s involvement in what seemed to be a comedy . the film was so bland that my only memories of it are the colorful location photography and niven . a total ho - hummer of a movie .

alda found fame on m * a * s * h where his depiction of sensitive surgeon hawkeye pierce won him five emmy awards . set in the korean war of the 1950s , and broadcast in part during the vietnam war in the 1970s , m * a * s * h won acclaim for its broad and irreverent humor , its ability to effectively combine drama with comedy , and its overall liberal humanist stance . in adapting the show from the 1970 robert altman film , producer and director gene reynolds and writer larry gelbart used distinctive telefilm aesthetics and a complex narrative structure that set the show apart from the proscenium style series that dominated television in the 1960s . the show ' s influence was broad - - traceable perhaps most directly in the large number of multi - character

really , i don’t think you can blame frankenheimer’s sense of humor . he was involved with the colgate comedy hour , with eddie cantor and martin & lewis during the early days of television . and there are some sly satiric jabs in the manchurian candidate . it just seems like a project that got away from the director .
i remember this movie as a ghost that shows up in the hours before sunrise on the tv , from time to time . it ' s quite absurd , but i guess life , and even war itself , sometimes feel just as nonsensical . i also believe the producers were quite possibly against the war in vietnam that was happening at the time . anyway , it was astoundingly funny to watch this one .

made in 1969 , this may have been intended as a parody of all the flag - waving , glory - mongering ww ii films with the stock footage inserts that had been so popular for much of the preceding two decades . maybe they had only a short story that they needed to puff up to feature length , or maybe the editor or producer or some guy who swept the floor in the studio had watched too many
mony python
bits and thought the extra footage would be funny , i don ' t know , but it ruined the film . my husband , who has a soft spot for both war pictures and one - star films , thought it was so dreadful that he fast - forwarded through most of it ; and i only watched the last fifteen minutes of it after listening to it from the kitchen , which is why i don ' t know the name of alan alda ' s character , or what faye dunaway was doing on the ship , or how they and toole and oglethorpe and lightfoot got to be marooned in the first place .
now , as i said , there ' s nothing wrong with the story - - it ' s a pretty good concept , and i likes me a nice ghost story . david niven looks elegant as finchhaven , but then david niven has a patent on british elegance . and the segment where he tells his history to the lieutenant is amusing , because the visuals don ' t match the words - - his family are not a long line of noble sailors , but a bunch of clods who keep getting killed in battle shortly after knocking up their women and thus ensuring the succession .
but now it was back , decorated with pictures of bale as a 10 - year - old wearing the madrid shirt . proof , evidently , of his lifelong ambition to play for the club .

jeff , thanks so much for this article . i’d always wondered about this film because , like you , i’m a big admirer of frankenheimer’s early work . you might even make a case for him as doing the best work of any american director in the 1960s . after the 1960s is unfortunately another story .
set against the backdrop of the pacific campaign during wwii , the story opens as four american sailors get separated from their fellow servicemen during a small craft maneuver in thick fog . they accidentally capsize their boat and wade ashore to an unknown island in the philippines which may or may not be occupied by japanese soldiers . upon further investigation , they discover a marooned ship , the h . m . s . curmudgeon , which at first appears to be deserted but is actually the current residence of british commander finchhaven . once he reveals himself to the sailors , they learn his back story and the boat’s past history – formerly a gunboat , it is now a wrecked supply ship with countless crates of whiskey and not much else . in exchange for passage off the island , they agree to help him repair the ship and go scavenging for materials and supplies . at a seemingly deserted plantation , they raid a warehouse for what they need but are threatened with a gun by the property owner , jennifer winslow . she is planning to flee the island herself before japanese forces arrive but strikes a bargain with the sailors to escape with them in exchange for what they need . once at sea , a romance develops between jennifer and lieutenant morton krim while further complications threaten to waylay their return to safety such as japanese fighter planes , a bunch of shipwrecked natives , and finchhaven’s misguided attempts to play the hero after disgracing his family name with a past offense .
( 1967 ) when she was cast as the beautiful gun - toting grease - monkey of a trading post operator given passage in exchange for supplies . frankenheimer underplays the romance angle , letting the slapstick complications throw them together time and again while the chemistry of two attractive young people in a crew of old eccentrics did the rest . it ' s a wartime comedy of a misfit unit and a captain of questionable pedigree , a military farce , a slapstick romance and a crazy ghost story all in one strange package .
they give him an unlimited amount of time to do so . and although the curmudgeon had been decommissioned , stripped of its guns , and sold after the war , finchaven has a bundle of very irritable - looking dynamite to use to sink his target , which was hidden under a trick floorboard in the bridge .
alda , who also wrote and directed many episodes of the show , has become indelibly associated with m * a * s * h , . which continues to be well watched as one of the most successful comedies in syndication . his
sensitive male
persona , derived in large part from his characterization on m * a * s * h , has lingered into the 1990s and continues to be sustained by public awareness of his efforts on behalf of women ' s rights . an ardent feminist , alda campaigned extensively for ten years for the passage of the equal rights amendment , and in 1976 , was appointed by president ford to serve on the national commission for the observance of international women ' s year . alda ' s status as a feminist led a writer in the boston globe to dub him
the quintessential honorary woman : a feminist icon .
despite such associations , alda ' s most acclaimed recent performance was his portrayal of a conniving producer in the 1989 woody allen film crimes and misdemeanors . alda won the d . w . griffith award , the new york film critics award , and was nominated for a british academy award as best supporting actor for his work in the film . perhaps alda seeks to alter , or at least add other dimensions to his
character type
following this success . he has more recently continued this exploration of a
darker side
with his portrayal of a driven corporate executive in the hbo original production , white mile .
besides the uncomfortable working conditions on such a remote location , the weather made filming even more unpredictable with daily tropical rainstorms extending the ten week shoot into a much longer ordeal . but the more famous cast members were able to make the most of it . dunaway recalled , “john and his wife , evans evans , whom i knew from our days on bonnie and clyde , tried to bring a little civilization to the nights there . they would have elegant dinners , with deliciously prepared food , and fine wines that john had flown in ; those who were among the ones lucky enough to get a dinner invitation would all sit around being entertained by david niven . he was a wonderful raconteur and would tell us tales of old hollywood . ”

are memories of david niven ,
frankenheimer recalled decades later to charles champlin , a sentiment echoed in dunaway ' s memoirs . her best memories of the production were elegant dinners thrown by frankenheimer and his wife where niven was the center of attention .
he was a wonderful raconteur and would tell us tales of old hollywood , all the behind - the - scenes intrigues that make it such a rich , if often distasteful , culture .

but still , bale’s new employers were keen to make him feel he was coming to the right place . they had , for instance , commissioned a sizeable stage for the event , which was constructed last week in expectation of his arrival .
the big problem with this film is that it tries to be
artsy
by cutting in more stock footage than a hundred genre films would ever use . it randomly cuts in battle scenes , parades , quick cameo shots of key ww ii players , and then does things like run the film forward and backward in what is meant to be a comic way , but which ends up looking like somebody ' s eight - year - old got ahold of the projector . and it also tends to jump back and forth from color film to black and white , even in the sequences with the actors .

david niven was going through a rough patch at this point in his career and with this movie he hit a positive thicket . alan alda , mickey rooney and jack carter , on the run from the japanese , find a natty niven living on a beached ship in the philippines . faye dunaway joins the crew , which is consolation for nobody but her agent , as director john frankenheimer seems unable to get to grips with this alleged comedy . niven , however , handles it all with his customary aplomb .
: oh , that ' s , uh , that ' s just some flotsam , or jetsam . whatever the difference is .
( 1966 ) , a sprawling drama of race car drivers shot on locations across europe with a glamorous international cast , frankenheimer wanted to change gears , so to speak . he chose a world war ii comedy about an eccentric british captain whose barely seaworthy wreck of a ship is beached on a small island in the philippines . when four misfit american sailors , who were lost at sea , wash up on the island , they help the captain repair his ship with the aid of a female trading post owner .

this film isn ' t as dire as the one - star reviews claim . that said , it isn ' t very good either . it ' s just . . . odd and doesn ' t really go anywhere . david niven is his urbane , david niveny self as a sort of british version of the flying dutchman who has to redeem himself through an act of war - time valor instead of an act of love . alan alda is alan alda . faye dunaway is the girl with moxie ( sporting 1960 ' s hair - dos during ww2 ) . mickey rooney has very little to do . the conceit of inserting old newsreel footage into the film didn ' t bother me , i thought the clips were interesting . i did learn two things while watching this ; 1 ) i had forgotten the difference between flotsam and jetsam and faye dunaway was nice enough to explain it . 2 ) before milton bradley released battleship as a plastic board game , you could apparently play it on graph paper . something more interesting could have been done with niven ' s character and the whole concept . with a better script this could ' ve been a pretty good film .
