broadway , 1927 ; the blue danube , 1928 , and the strong boy , 1928 .
the only resemblance between this film and the broadway musical and silent film of lady be good from 1928 is purely coincidental . all that mgm took for this film was the title and two songs from the original broadway score .

so popular was it that mgm i ' m sure paid a pretty penny for the rights and to interpolate into lady be good . tony martin and lanny ross and kate smith and the great concert singer john charles thomas had made some good selling records of the last time i saw paris . ann sothern sang it beautifully in the film , the last chorus with her voice over newsreels of the occupation .

that being said this version of lady be good about a pair of husband and wife songwriters is good entertainment . robert young and ann sothern are the married pair and it ' s the same old story of two who can ' t live and can ' t live without each other . in fact the story is told in flashback by sothern on the witness stand to judge lionel barrymore in her divorce hearing .
an archivist working at the herbert hoover presidential library has stumbled upon color home movies taken in the late 1920s by former first lady lou hoover . incredibly , this is very likely the first color film to show a us president , the first lady , and the white house .
kodacolor film debuted in august 1928 , and it looks like plain old black and white film . but when projected through a special filtered lens , called the kodacolor projection filter , the color embedded in the film appears on screen . a post from the national archives explains how it works :

i found lady be good to be a refreshing , surprisingly intelligent and upbeat musical with great songs and dances . the story is about a married song writing team who divorces . the story starts with ann southern explaining the story and follows on from there . the script is incredibly witty , and there is some great physical comedy . some of the of the best music of all time written for this movie , including
lady be good
which always gets in my head and the more famous

. the gershwin ' s are incredible . so a combination of a witty script , great acting , great music and great dancing makes this a wonderful musical - a stand out from the rest ! a truly lighthearted and entertaining musical .

“i realized some of [ lou hoover’s ] home movies used kodacolor film but , because it appears like black and white film , previous archivists assumed it must be black and white , ” explained smith in a hoover archives release . knowing that the former first lady was fascinated by emerging technologies , and that she had access to kodacolor film and camera , smith decided to take a closer look at the film , wherein she came to the discovery .

“the first kodacolor home movies were shown by george eastman on july 30 , 1928 , a mere seven months and four days before president calvin coolidge left office , ” said smith . “the patent for the ‘optical system for color processes’ was issued september 25 , 1928 , just over five months before coolidge left . as a retiring president , it seems unlikely that mr . or mrs . coolidge would have taken home movies at the white house . ”

to suggest that stanwyck never belonged in the first rank of screen beauties would be ungallant but true . to argue , however , that she lacked a ready supply of male victims would be demonstrable nonsense . she had cheekbones of a wicked cut and curve , archable eyebrows , and a nose whose beaky hauteur came in handy when she rose to playing the loftier classes , or , as in “the lady eve” ( 1941 ) , slicing them to shreds . it was a face that launched a thousand inquisitions : the mouth too tight to be rosy , and a voice pitched for slang , all bite and huskiness . when i think of the glory days of american film , at its speediest and most velvety , i think of barbara stanwyck .

that line always gets a laugh , as it should , for it springs from “the lady eve” ( 1941 ) , one of the most liberatingly funny films ever made . step back for a second , though , and you can still hear the “alert , precocious , and savage” tone that stanwyck ascribed to her ruptured childhood . “the lady eve” is a preston sturges movie , which means that it does not and probably cannot stop , hurling stanwyck headlong into the chase .

kodacolor appears to the human eye as black and white images , but the base side of the film is embossed with hundreds of tiny lenses ( called lenticules ) that look like minuscule ridges on the surface of the film base . the lenticules captured the color information from the scene while it was filmed through a color filter with red , green , and blue - violet stripes . in order to see the color the film then had to be projected back through a similar color filter .

the canadian cooperation project helps to explain why , during the 1940s and 1950s , there was virtually no feature film production in canada outside of québec ( see the cinema of québec ) . however , thanks to the economic boom in canada following the second world war , a number of small , independent producers began to establish themselves , making primarily industrial films and shorts . in 1941 , nat taylor founded the trade magazine canadian film weekly , and in recognition of the nascent private film sector , the canadian film awards were established in 1949 . ( the canadian film awards would become the genie awards in 1980 and the canadian screen awards in 2012 . ) the inaugural presentation was held in ottawa , and crawley films of ottawa won the first film of the year award for the short film , the loon ' s necklace ( 1949 ) .
i said something to the effect that ‘unfortunately , this is a lost film . ’ film historian joseph yranski , who ran the film library at the donnell media center [ a now - closed repository of the new york public library system ] , was a friend of colleen moore and knew more about this film than probably anybody on the planet , yelled out ‘no it’s not ! i know where it is ! ’ the full house at film forum cheered . ” those cheers were premature , however . it was not until 2012 that cineteca italiana di milano , which housed the print , returned it to the united states for restoration . it was synched with the jazzy vitaphone soundtrack , which is available on the warner bros . dvd . the silent film festival is presenting the film with live music , as was common during the transition to sound .

nobody knows for sure whether capra and his leading lady were ever an item . his biographer joseph mcbride proclaims it as fact ; hers , axel madsen , is less certain , one of the abiding mysteries of stanwyck being that her public image—unlike jean harlow’s , say—could never be mapped in any detail onto the contours of her private existence . she was definitely there , funny and silvery , up on the screen , but the definition faded as you tried to peek behind . her movies felt like cryptic clues to a backstory of will power and frustration , the truth of which would not have pleased her fans .

one of the most significant events in canadian film history was the establishment of the national film board of canada ( nfb ) . in 1938 , the federal government commissioned scottish filmmaker john grierson — who had coined the term “documentary , ” and had been head of the empire marketing board and the general post office in britain — to study the state of film production in canada . he wrote a report that year that led to the creation of the nfb in may 1939 , and was named the board’s first film commissioner in october 1939 .

it was common practice to shoot multiple versions in the silent era , one for the domestic market and the rest for export . talking pictures complicated matters , and , with subtitling and dubbing not yet a workable solution , companies shot multiple - language versions . in the case of “the front page , ” the multiples may have been shot more for cultural and censorship reasons , which may be why the middle finger isn’t in the american version . the best takes were reserved for the american version : that’s the one in which the camera crew keeps pace with a speed - walking adolphe menjou , as burns ; in another version , he slips out of frame . the other version is good , yes , but the american is the film at its greatest .

for a film to qualify as canadian , it had to be at least 75 minutes long , have at least one producer and two - thirds of the “above the line” creative team who were canadian , and perform at least 75 per cent of the production and post - production services in canada . the tax shelter approach echoed the conclusion of the tompkins report , issued by the secretary of state in 1976 , which argued that , since american control of canada’s theatrical marketplace made it virtually impossible for canadian films to turn a profit domestically , the canadian film industry should focus instead on producing commercial products for export .

it’s a question worth asking , because for most of its history , cinema was medium - specific — it was shot , processed and distributed on film . the movies we watch today , by contrast , are rarely made through mechanical and photochemical processes , but with computer code , with strings of zeros and ones : bits . each medium has its advantages , although for many lovers of film the crucial difference is its vivid , alive look . much of the cinema i love — buster keaton comedies , fred - and - ginger musicals , stan brakhage avant - garde landmarks , charles burnett’s masterpiece “killer of sheep” — was made with film . what happens to an art when its foundational medium disappears ? we don’t yet know , because it’s happening right now . if you care about movies , you should be wondering .
although , the development of feature filmmaking in canada was still sputtering , pioneering work was being done at the nfb . by the late 1950s , norman mclaren had won eight canadian film awards , two major prizes at the berlin international film festival , an academy award for his short film neighbours ( 1952 ) and an oscar nomination for a chairy tale ( 1957 ) . the board’s unit b was putting out work of consistent quality and the candid eye series was producing groundbreaking direct cinema films .

further initiatives were taken to assist in the marketing and promotion of english canadian feature films , an area always perceived as the industry’s achilles heel . amid the monumental missed opportunities of the failed québec cinema act and the film products importation bill , telefilm created the feature film fund in 1986 . in 1998 , the organization increased the broadcast fund to $ 60 million and created the feature film distribution fund , which introduced lines of credit for canadian companies to draw from in order to distribute films internationally .

and a play called “barbara frietchie . ” from here on , stanwyck’s story quickens its pace , so much so that the reader of madsen’s biography can be left floundering in her wake ; it feels as if , having notched all the main misfortunes of life in her first twenty years , she grabbed her first lucky break and refused to let go . from “the noose” she slipped into “burlesque , ” at the plymouth , which just happened to be seen by louis b . mayer , of m - g - m , and joe schenck , of united artists . “if you ever want to do a movie part , just telephone me , ” schenck said .
preservationists seek out both the best - preserved prints and elements from different film copies , and often work with outside technicians . ( some handle the visuals , others the audio ; some work with photochemical elements , others with digital . ) it’s like assembling a jigsaw puzzle with pieces from many copies of that puzzle — pieces that sometimes need to be shipped from france and spruced up in los angeles . flaws remain because , mr . pogorzelski said , he has “to stretch dollars as far as they can go . ” carrying out a “100 percent frame - by - frame cleaning” and focusing all of the archive’s resources on one film might mean ignoring dozens of others .
at its peak in 1925 , the ompb distributed 1 , 500 reels of film per month , using 28mm , non - theatrical safety stock in order to avoid the fire hazard posed by 35mm nitrate stock . its distribution system became outdated in the late 1920s when 16mm film stock replaced 28mm . after becoming inefficient and irrelevant , the ompb was shut down in october 1934 . however , it established a legacy of government involvement in canadian filmmaking which would become a defining feature of the canadian film industry .

all of these films were made on modest budgets and only a few enjoyed modest commercial success . the cfdc was pressured to raise the visibility of the material it was funding , either by legislating the marketplace in order to guarantee the distribution and exhibition of canadian films , or by employing foreign talent in conjunction with canadians . the ontario ministry of industry and tourism appointed producer and broadcasting executive john bassett to head a task force to study the canadian film industry . the conclusion of the bassett report was that “a basic film industry exists . it’s the audiences that need to be nurtured through theatrical exposure . the optimum method of accomplishing this is to establish a quota system for theatres . ”
when the quota law was renewed by the british government in 1938 , it was amended to remove the inclusion of commonwealth films , mainly due to the manner in which canada had allowed the law to be subverted . there were attempts in ontario , québec and alberta to introduce provincial quotas for british films , but none of these bills became law .

this movie was sooooo boring . i love good old - fashioned movie musicals like no one else but this on was blah . you have to sit through at least an hour of watching the cliché and boring antics of robert young and ann sothern before eleanor powell actually does some dancing . the only reason to watch this movie is for the few bright spots that red skelton and the berry brothers bring , and of course , ellie two amazing dance numbers . you may be amused by the comedic plot but i found it way too reused and slow and boring . do yourself a favor and skip watching this movie for now unless you are a huge huge eleanor powell fan . hunt up some really enjoyable musicals of this time , like thousands cheer or down argentine way . this movie does not do justice to ellie ' s amazing talent .

if you have ever seen the 1931 film of “the front page , ” based on the jauntily cynical play , you might have been startled by the moment when a wisecracking newspaperman silences his machine - gun - fast patter to raise his middle finger at the mayor and sheriff . is this what the new york times reviewer mordaunt hall was thinking of when he wrote that the film’s humor is “frequently harsh” ?

theatre ownership was traditionally the most lucrative sector of the film industry , with the theatre owner typically taking 50 per cent of every ticket sold . because of the high cost of film production , widespread distribution is vital to a film ' s commercial success . in the 1920s , the major hollywood studios ( paramount , rko , 20th century fox , mgm and warner bros . ) adopted a vertically - integrated model of ownership , combining production and distribution under one umbrella . the majors then aligned themselves with the large national theatre chains in order to guarantee an outlet for their product , in some cases purchasing theatre chains outright .
it would seem logically difficult to have much of a chase involving trains , since they must remain on tracks , and so one must forever be behind the other one - - right ? keaton defies logic with one ingenious silent comic sequence after another , and it is important to note that he never used a double and did all of his own stunts , even very dangerous ones , with a calm acrobatic grace .

( rather baffling as it makes little for a machine coordinate to be in any unit other than the setup units for the machine ) . this could create a situation where the tcp coordinates used for a tool change were not in the same units as the current unit state of the machine . msm now stores the tcp in native setup units and converts on the fly to current gcode mode units so that the tcp position coordinates used will always be the same units as the current units mode . as usual more details are in the release notes . dave
