mortadelo and filemon work for a spy agency called the t . i . a . (
occasionally , filemon and mortadelo comically beat or tortured the professor in retaliation for injuries caused by their inventions .
filemon appears to be more intelligent , serious and responsible than mortadelo , and in many cases proves to be , but this is not consistent . in any case , even though filemon take the initiative , it is mortadelo who often carry out most of the action .
filemon disapproves with mortadelo ' s costumes being tested all the time , and occasionally confused some ordinary object with one of his disguises .
he has quite a temper and is not as self - assured as a joker as mortadelo . usually the most consistent and prudent in the development of mission ideas . it also has very bad luck .

the accident - prone agents who have brought laughter to spanish kids and their parents since the late 50s make a very creditable leap into cgi with the energetically entertaining mortadelo and filemon : mission implausible . previous film versions of the exploits of francisco ibanez ’s titular heroes have been patchy , including director javier fesser ’s own 2003 live action stab , but this time it works , successfully welding the spirit of the original to spectacular hi - tech visuals which are keeping both purists and newcomers happy following a strong pre - vacation entry at the spanish box - office .
siggraph asia attendees will have the opportunity to catch a special screening of the animated film
mortadelo & filemon
as part of the conference ' s computer animation festival .

filemon often bursts into a rage with mortadelo and chases him with some sort of cartoonish weapon or throwing objects of great proportions while mortadelo escapes in disguise , usually animal ( insect , reptile , bird , cat , etc . . . ) . this often occurs at the end of the comic strips or sections .
mortadelo and filemon are the most valuable superspies in the tia ( the secret government agency ) , charged with solving the crimes that no other spy can . . . or rather , bungling situations like no one else can . in order to see their tough missions through , mortadelo and filemon make use of disguises as well as bizarre - and pretty much useless - inventions that together with their original smarts turn the missions into romping fun adventures never - before - seen in the world of espionage .
mortadelo y filemon ( known to anglophones as mort & phil ) are beloved spanish comics characters . first featured in 1958 , it was a comic book that first launched the two characters into the european zeitgeist . as the spanish
during the franco era it was stated that both mortadelo and filemon were homosexual , asserting that
two male characters , single , shared apartment , sleeping in the same room , one of which he disguised himself often women , was for his synonymous detractors of homosexuality .
according to javier fesser , the film ' s director ,
mortadelo & filemon
has a style that is neither photo - realistic nor traditionally animated . the intention behind this unique style is to convey the imperfections of a dirty world .
mortadelo & filemon
is especially remarkable because of the budget constraints under which it was created .
we pushed the efficiency of the studio ,
said fesser ,
finding new workflows to produce stable shaders , writing custom software to reuse lighting between shots and a whole suite of animation tools for a streamlined production .
filemon and mortadelo are persecuted by the super or appear hidden in the most inhospitable and remote places on the planet ( the gobi desert , the sahara , the golan heights , the columbretes islands , easter island , antarctica , etc . ) while beside him , a newspaper realizes the mess shift , while cautioning that the super is looking for partners for a completely different place .
, this is woefully lost in translation ) — that ' s been infiltrated by jimmy el cachondo , who has obtained some of the agency ' s most embarrassing internal data . fearful they ' ll be ridiculed by other spy agencies , the t . i . a ' s commissioner enlists some assistance from back pocket agents mortadelo and filemon .
is a modern take on the classic characters . mortadelo and filemon had always been rooted in cartoonish slapstick extremes , and this film is a high - end tribute to that . though it ' s been acclaimed by critics — it won for best adapted screenplay and best animated feature at the 2014 goya awards ( think spanish oscars ) — it feels as much like a love letter from someone that wanted to bankroll a childhood favourite .
while the characters are all but unknown to american audiences , mort & phil have a big following in spain and have starred in two successful live - action features over the last decade— la gran aventura de mortadelo y filemón in 2003 and mortadelo y filemón . misión : salvar la tierra in 2008 . their appearances in animation have been irregular , and most of the animation that has been made with the characters , like the 1960s theatrical short series and 1994 tv series , look cheap .
at the same time , a monstrous criminal , tronchamulas , who filemon put in prison and is now looking for vengeance , is pursuing filemon , the bossier , delusional one of the pair . because of a personality reversal elixir created by the t . i . a . ' s professor bacterio called
reverscence ,
they end up banding together to take down jimmy el cachondo and his henchmen . then they just end up fighting each other .
there’s a fascinating box office match - up brewing in spain this weekend between dreamworks animation’s penguins of madagascar and the homegrown spanish cgi feature mortadelo y filemón contra jimmy el cachondo , which will be released by warner bros . the latter is based on francisco ibáñez’s beloved comic book characters mortadelo y filemón ( mort & phil ) , and as you’ll see in the trailer below , they’ve got the same slapstick - spy setup as the penguins :
when jimmy steals a safe from the tia ( not cia ) building , the superintendent ( mariano venancio ) instructs our heroes to recover it . further bad news arrives in the form of the monstrous tronchamulas ( victor monigote ) , a violent , three - ton criminal who wishes to take revenge on filemon by doing a terrible , nameless “something” to him . professor bacterio ( all characters are visually faithful recreations of the originals ) has invented a serum called reversicine , intended to transform mortadelo and filemon into intelligent beings , but tronchamulas is accidentally injected with it , whereon he becomes gentle and baby - like , also revealing that he is jimmy’s cousin .
he is a little lower than mortadelo . in the early years of the comic ' s publication he had the most prominent and aquiline nose , carrying a large pipe in his mouth and a sherlock holmes - like outfit , jacket and hat plush ; in fact , in 1404 the number of pulgarcito he even wearing raincoat and hat boxes characteristic of most holmes illustrations .
when mortadelo leans back in his chair in the super ' s office , as they return from the reality show fiasco , the tails of his coat pass through the chair .
the ddt , the professor bacterio ' s dangerous invention has just been stolen by the dictator of tirania . the súper wants to recover it but he knows that it should not call mortadelo and . . . see full summary »
this primitive aspect was purging itself over time , soon acquiring a similar current appearance : filemon gradually reduced his nose and his clothing consisted of a black bow tie , white shirt , generally red pants and sometimes a matching jacket . he has only two hairs on his head , pointing in different directions .
the pages of a mortadelo and filemon comic book are packed with detail , verbal wit , and visual invention , and on screen this translates into a hyperactivity and breathlessness which is at times almost exhausting : it’s the kind of viewing experience designed to deliver new visual pleasures on a second viewing as the viewer refocuses on the background . many of these pleasures are satirical spanish references - - to spanish reality tv , for example , or even to the failed 1981 coup d’etat - - which will fly over the heads of non - spanish viewers , as will the constant punning , which will make subtitlers sweat .
canadian animator richard williams worked on his film
the thief and the cobbler
for nearly three decades , its completion and screening delayed time and time again by production woes and lack of funding . though some portions of the film were combined with work from other animators and released as “the princess and the cobbler” and “arabian knight , ” to this day , the original version has never been publicly screened .
early scenes portray an entertainingly hi - tech , glossy variation on classic m & f slapstick motifs before it’s revealed that it’s all been a dream by filemon ( janfri topera ) . we’re returned to the ramshackle , comically violent , malfunctioning gadget - filled world they normally inhabit , something like a mash - up between looney tunes and wallace and gromit . brainless , but an expert in disguise , mortadelo ( karra elejalde ) and his temperamental boss work for a criminal investigation agency , under threat from a dastardly marty feldman lookalike called “jimmy el cachondo” ( gabriel chame ) , loosely translatable as “jimmy the joker” .
sounds crazy , right ? it is , and it doesn ' t stop there . the appeal to mort and phil has always been slapstick , and while it ' s usually filemon that gets the worst of it , no one is safe ; every character , at one point or another , loses a limb or a whole set of teeth ( the latter are an especially big thing in this film —

what you do get is perfectly - executed cartoon slapstick by the mile , with bodies stretched , smashed and squeezed into all kinds of unlikely shapes , and sequences of technically breathtaking visual wit , particularly through the aerial fight and chase sequences as m & f pursue jimmy in his rickety helicopter over vast , receding 3d cityscapes . but not once , despite a rather elegant slow - motion sequence involving cupid and his arrow and the occasional sharply human observation , do things slow down to allow these cartoon characters to stop being characters and to start resembling people .

this amazing medium ,
an animation master class and retrospective with oscar® - winning animator richard williams .
this lavish and exquisite film , which follows a young cobbler on a daring adventure in ancient persia , is a rare delight for animation novices and aficionados alike . loosely influenced by persian miniatures , the film has become a legend in the animation industry . williams began this ambitious film in 1968 , and over the next 25 years , collaborated on it with such animators as ken harris and emery hawkins from warner bros . , as well as art babbitt from disney and grim natwick , the creator of betty boop .
spanish animation production costs , however , are significantly below those of the u . k . and france .
“gravity , ” this year’s vfx bafta and oscar winner , turns filmmaking on its head . rather than adding visual effects to a live - action plate , the film is around 80 % computer generated , with the live - action elements ( sandra bullock and george clooney’s faces ) , integrated seamlessly with their cg spacesuits and surroundings .
ilion also supports and is supported by madrid’s pioneering university of technology and digital arts ( u - tad ) , which offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in animation , vfx , big data , ai , videogames and programming . further key spanish animation figures also teach at u - tad : producer manuel cristobal ( “wrinkles” ) , former disney animator raul garcia , director of “extraordinary tales , ” another out - of - competition annecy title , and carlos biern , at brb , one of spain’s biggest tv toon production - distribution houses , teach at u - tad .

, quevedo , and góngora . while pictorial subject matter barely altered , religious themes would now be painted with naturalistic realism . monarchs commissioned portraits and history paintings , into which artists gradually introduced new sources of inspiration , often taken from everyday life .
more seaside postcard than south park , the humor is appealingly old - fashioned . it ' s knockabout schoolboy - ish fare which rarely depends on knowing irony for its effects , and which is a little bit sexist , though reinvigorated by the smart use of technology . fesser has indeed captured the spirit and flavor of the original and his genuine affection for these characters and their world bounces off the screen . but the original cartoons are pretty much lacking in the pathos or tenderness which have played so crucial a part in the adult appeal of the really successful animated films of recent years , and the film is too .

building one tree in a cg environment can be an interesting story to tell , but creating the amazon jungle in

is a much larger tale . in order to bring this massive jungle to the screen , the blue sky team had to consider the overall scale , diversity of plants and trees , density of assets on the ground and in the treetops and choreography of moving cameras in order to give the audience the feeling of birds in flight with unparalleled views of the worlds most unique ecosystem . blue sky artists and technical directors created an infinite jungle out of a carefully designed collection of parts and assets , and brought it to life by building rigs for secondary animation . there was a constant need to find efficient ways to work with complex heavy files , create staging areas that stayed consistently overgrown all coupled with a stereoscopic version that felt as dense as it did in 2d . all of the departments had to come together to influence and support each others processes to build this technically challenging yet beautiful , lush environment that was used in multiple sequences throughout the film .

the decadence of the baroque led to rococo and then to neoclassicism , movements which were clearly indebted to their french counterparts . the most significant painter of the 18th century was francisco de goya . a painter of notable portraits of the monarchy ( the family of charles iv ) , goya would subsequently focus on social and political subject matter , turning to the french occupation of spain to depict the horrors of war . practically confined to his home la quinta del sordo ( so called due to the artist ' s deafness ) , goya devoted the last days of his life to darker , even mournful , subject matter .

this year , the nyc acm siggraph chapter will be screening metrocaf 2014 twice . the first screening will begin at 6 : 30 p . m . on friday september 19 , and will be followed by the metrocaf awards presentation . the second screening will start at 9 : 30 p . m . the same evening . this year , the festival will be held , with the support of nyit , at their auditorium on broadway venue at 1871 broadway .
as we face the effects of layoffs , budget cuts and a tightening economy , many people are thinking about updating their demo reel . how long should it be ? what are interviewers looking for ? if you are looking for ways to improve your present position , or shopping around for a new one , the time to polish up your demo reel is now . if you’re looking to hire , this will be a great opportunity to see a range of fresh new talent .
according to ignacio perez dolset , ilion animation studios president , ilion was invited early last year by paramount pictures in los angeles to bid against other animation studios to provide animation services on the paramount animation movie . currently , ilion is employing 350 artists on the production , which are half spanish , half foreign . these include u . s . , canadian french , english , german and asian artists , employment will peak at about 400 . pic is scheduled for delivery by year - end 2016 .
the los angeles acm siggraph chapter , in cooperation with walt disney feature animation , will present a screening of the siggraph 2014 computer animation festival on tuesday , october 21 . the siggraph 2014 computer animation festival is an internationally recognized , jury - selected roster of 30 short films from around the world . the films were selected for their outstanding achievements in time - based art , scientific visualization , visual effects , real - time graphics or narrative . the siggraph computer animation festival is recognized by the academy of motion picture arts and sciences as a qualifying festival for the academy awards .
there is no suggestion that paramount will make a play for ilion but “paramount pictures might consider working on future projects with ilion on the back of the picture , perez dolset reasoned .
spain tax authorities have just launched tax credits levied at 15 % . these are capped at €2 . 5 million ( $ 2 . 8 million ) per production . “when you are working on a tent - pole feature budget , this amount is not a deciding factor in competing for production , ” said jose san roman , ilion animation studios ceo .
“this is a key differentiating element of our group structure vs . other animation outfits in europe , ” san roman added .
the film’s budget was reportedly around us $ 12 . 5 million when the project was announced a couple years ago . it’s been difficult to find an updated figure , but even if the film cost double that amount , it’s still a handsome - looking production for its relatively small budget .

the appeal of geronimo , however , was to survive . in fact , he would be portrayed in more hollywood oaters than any other american indian , including crazy horse and sitting bull ! true west presents a pictorial of geronimo filmography in both tv and movies , starting with 1939’s stagecoach and 1940’s geronimo ! ( the source of our title art ) into the 1990s , when geronimo seemingly went into retirement . yet his powerful legend is unlikely to rest forever . he is merely waiting for another role to be offered .

. even though the 1955 - 75 cbs western that inspired the made - for - tv film has fallen out of favor by 1990 , geronimo is a recognizable name to viewers .
cast john wayne as the star of a western film directed by john ford .
[ note : by 1939 , the western genre had fallen out of favor , but stagecoach helped reinvent the genre , providing for its rebirth . it must be remembered however , that 1939 also saw the release of other blockbuster westerns including union pacific , dodge city , the oklahoma kid , ford ' s own technicolor drums along the mohawk , destry rides again and jesse james . ]
stagecoach ( 1939 ) is a classic western from film auteur john ford . this film - his first sound western - was a return to his most - acclaimed film genre after a thirteen year absence following fox ' s three bad men ( 1926 ) ( and the iron horse ( 1924 ) ) . in the meantime , he had produced the superb , oscar - winning drama about irish republicanism , rko ' s the informer ( 1935 ) .
this western film was based on the novel of the same name by harold bell wright .
the shootist is last western of john wayne movies . an era ended with this film .
john langellier has served as a film and tv consultant , most notably for geronimo : an american legend . his most recent book is southern arizona military outposts , which will be released in early 2011 by arcadia publishing .

to celebrate the relationship of paratroopers to the geronimo cry . ( the number eleven comes from the number of paratroopers in a plane . )
remains a staple for film fans . in this classic , set against the stunning background of monument valley , ford casts chief white horse as geronimo and paints him as the leader of a menacing band of savages stalking the stage to lordsburg , new mexico ( see above french promotion of the film ) . at the last moment , geronimo’s war party is kept from carrying out rape and murder . with bugles blaring and a guidon snapping in the breeze , the cavalry rides to the rescue just in time .

to assume the mantle of geronimo ( notice how he’s standing on a pile of dirt to boost his height ! ) . indian uprising is little more than a remake of the far better known 1948 ford film . in fact , the same outpost used in

pure fiction story of the battles with geronimo ( 1939 ) . focuses equally on the dysfunctional relationship between the general and his newly arrived son . most of this leaves something to be desired , but at least andy devine was there giving it a few laughs . gene lockhart ' s big moment wasn ' t bad either . i ' m still wondering why preston foster was there getting top billing . felt such an unnecessary addition to it all .
in 1889 , novelist edward ellis’s on the trail of geronimo was one of the first of more than 150 fictional titles to treat the people commonly referred to today as the apache .
in this film - actually a morality play , each of the characters are representative , archetypal character types , divided initially between respectable and disrespectable social outcasts . however by film ' s end , the disreputable members of society prove to be the most noble , virtuous , and selfless .
the film starts out rather tepidly with murky development of its characters ( not so on repeated viewings ) ; it is hard to tell where the film is headed for . once past the quarter mark , it gathers steam and the characters become well - accommodated to the story’s needs .
in 1956 , geronimo is once again portrayed by jay silverheels , who opposes the noble but tough indian agent john clum ( audie murphy ) . the two men face off with knives in

. for the third time , audiences are served up pale - skinned jeff chandler as cochise , but a new face stands in for geronimo—ian macdonald’s ; macdonald is no less inaccurately cast than his costar .

, the first installment of john ford’s so - called cavalry trilogy . this 1948 release includes cochise as an honorable , formidable foe respected by capt . kirby york ( john wayne ) but seen as a barbarian by the cavalry commander , martinet lt . col . owen thursday ( henry fonda ) . at a peace conference , cochise ( miguel inclan ) is joined by an uncredited extra from the navajo nation who is introduced as geronimo . in the typical formula of the era , geronimo peers stoically at the whites without uttering a word . inclan is shown here , at far left , with three of his headmen , including geronimo to his left .

this revolutionary , influential film - a story of redemption - is considered a landmark quintessential film that elevated westerns from cheaply - made , low - grade , saturday matinee

ford ' s reputation was elevated considerably by this film - it was nominated for seven academy awards , including best picture , best director , best black and white cinematography , best interior decoration , and best film editing , and won two awards for best supporting actor ( thomas mitchell ) and best score ( for its compilation of 17 american folk tunes of the 1880s ) .

is an early masterpiece by ford whose body of work is well - respected by his peers , even influencing greats like japanese legend akira kurosawa . this is , without question , a great film by a great director .
, geronimo ( played by john war eagle ) besieges a lonely frontier fort held by union forces . the surrounded garrison’s fate rests in the hands of noble confederates led by a gentlemanly commanding officer , who , off the screen , will become the 40th president of the united states—ronald reagan .
, j . t . allen’s script begins with the tragic killing of goyahkla’s family when he is a young man and then continues to chart the twists and turns of his life as geronimo throughout his days as a prisoner of war . the storyline , while far from completely factual , nonetheless provides better historical insights than that of any previous fictional rendering . joseph runningfox’s version of gerinomo ( shown above ) reaches audiences before wes studi’s portrayal ( see last slide ) , since the tv version is released in advance of the feature film .
director peter bogdanovich ( 14 : 15 ) sings the praises of the film and its methods , with aptly - timed clips complimenting his reflections . he also shares his remembrances of ford , whom he tailed and biographied in the 1960s .

a telegraph message is transmitted from nearby lordsburg , but then the line goes dead - the wires have been cut . the only word in the message that is received is
geronimo .
there is evidence of indian trouble near lordsburg - apache warriors are on the warpath against white pioneers near the arizona border with mexico .
abc series , resists white incursion with the greatest resolve . that element of the script is one of the few aspects of the story that bears any resemblance to reality , as connors ( shown above , center ) is anything but the embodiment of the apache chief . once again , geronimo’s true story gives way to hollywood hype .
from 1933 to 1950 , the duke starred in 54 films i . e . in a span of 17 years , average 3 films a year . during this time span , john wayne acted in at least one western film each year ( except 1946 ) .
his pioneer effort did not go unnoticed . realizing that the topic had box office appeal , moviemakers went to work . as early as 1912 , the cameras rolled for geronimo’s last raid . regrettably this nitrate silent , which was produced just three years after the death of its main character at oklahoma’s fort sill , disintegrated and is lost forever .
some of film’s most beautiful scenes involve the rugged motion of the stagecoach as it is pulled by tireless horses across uneven terrain . its mere frailty against a hostile landscape is marvellously photographed in black - and - white , even seemingly taking a life of its own .
the group is destined for a town called lordsburg , which is problematic because that requires going through apache country , where geronimo and company are rumored to be on the warpath . the stagecoach is escorted by soldiers only part of the way ; the rest of the trip , they ' re on their own , a fact observed with caution and concern .
, the 1937 short story by ernest haycox on which the film is based . descriptive , brief , and only loosely adapted , it ' s obviously worth a read . the booklet closes with a technical explanation of the transfer and its unfixed defects , followed by dvd credits and acknowledgements .
the stagecoach tells the story of a trip which is spiced up by the fact that geronimo geronimo and his apaches are on the warpath in the area . there are well written characters in this star - studded ride . a convict john wayne , drunk doctor thomas mitchell ( in a oscar - winning role ) , scorned prostitute claire trevor , polished gambler john carradine , pregnant teenager louise platt , a banker who has stolen his client’s money , whiskey salesman donald meek , lawman george bancroft and driver andy devine . shot in utah’s monument valley stagecoach tells a story never told before in western cinema . it outmoded the westerns came before and it set a benchmark for all which followed . watch this western movie and see what made john wayne the ‘duke’ !
j / w starred in 176 films over a span of 50 years . i am currently looking for 16 , but sadly a for a few of them there are no known copies . the john wayne film society is a great source for information . membership opens up to a lot more films . .
this colorful , staple - bound 32 - pager lists chapters and cast & key crew before giving us two solid reads . first is david cairns ' 5 - page essay
taking the stage
, a lofty dissection of the film and its context . perhaps more exciting is what ' s next ,
…is the indie trailblazers award celebrated ! the festival salutes one film that epitomizes the bare bones philosophy – “a budget is what you make of it ; ” and “by any means necessary ! ” this honor has been awarded to director kyle roberts and his team of young actors and crew for the posthuman project .
for the first three - quarters , the film is a light , character - driven ensemble drama . with the distinct personalities established quickly and effectively , we ' re able to tag along and observe . with the threat of indian savagery looming , two unlikely couples seem to form between ladylike anna and her protector hatfield
though the spontaneity of extemporization is missed , well - spoken kitses provides something far better as he calls attention to interesting background information , character nuances , and technical aspects . sure , it ' s a little pretentious , but also quite accessible and engaging . the film ' s soundtrack rises during kitses ' highly rare pauses .
through the majestic rock formations of monument valley , the stagecoach is followed by the cavalry troops riding guard , while curley and buck converse in a two - shot on the driver ' s seat ( as they often do in the film ) . dense and poor , buck comically complains about his domestic situation with his distinctively squeaky voice :
true to its original design , the film is presented in a single - channel monaural soundtrack . the elements are clearly dated and the mix never shakes a slight hum and hiss . while i consider this audio acceptable , the included subtitle track is sometimes useful ( sadly , criterion has yet to extend this luxury to bonus features ) .
is proud to contain one of the most stunning action sequences ever captured on film - the apache attack . featuring death - defying stuntwork , and superlative camerawork and editing , it is incredible in its execution and is probably the reason ford earned his second oscar nomination for best director . it has also inspired a similar sequence in steven spielberg’s
, which would be wayne ' s star - making film , was john ford ' s first sound western . ford had directed plenty of silent westerns ( few of which survive today ) , but in his first ten years of talkies , he had made war dramas , seafaring adventures , a shirley temple movie , and mistaken - identity comedies .
provides all of these staples , but saves most of its action for the final act , which culminates with a hotly - anticipated vengeance shootout that pits ringo against troublemaker luke plummer and his two brothers . there isn ' t a gun fired until the film ' s final 25 minutes , when an extended scene excitingly offers little more than that .
does little better in its depiction of geronimo , who is played by an unlikely tom tyler ( above , at left ) , a minor b - western cowboy - turned - apache for this less - than - memorable movie . in an even more unusual twist for casting , tyler appears opposite lucille ball and james craig ( above , at right ) in this tale of an undercover government agent bent on bringing a stereotypical dishonest indian agent to justice .
is widely considered the best western of its time and the times leading up to it , but you needn ' t have a soft spot for that passé genre to appreciate this . feeling like a perilous , much more confined grand hotel on wheels , this is a very good movie made in an era when the american film industry had no shortage of very good movies . while
this film debuted john ford ' s favorite setting - the majestic monument valley of the southwest - the first of seven films he made in the famed western valley , followed by my darling clementine ( 1946 ) , fort apache ( 1948 ) , she wore a yellow ribbon ( 1949 ) , the searchers ( 1956 ) , sergeant rutledge ( 1960 ) , and cheyenne autumn ( 1964 ) .
…is the home of the indie auteur of the year award ; where recognition is honored to filmmakers who evenhandedly wear a minimum of 5 hats ( positions ) from the inception of pre - production ; to the execution of production ; to the cessation of post - production ; and finally the fruition and perseverance of marketing . indie filmmaking is a marathon and the journey of a film may be never - ending…
disc one contains just two bonus features . first and more substantial is an audio commentary by film historian / professor and western scholar jim kitses . evidently reading from a script , kitses is more rehearsed , calculated , and scholarly than most commentators . despite this approach , he stills spends much of the time remarking about what ' s on screen ( i can only imagine the kind of preparation this required ) .
' s more modest modern - day accolades include placement on two of the american film institute ' s lists ; ranking 63rd on 1998 ' s original
100 years . . . 100 movies
countdown ( it was among the number of films that dropped off in the afi ' s 2007 tally ) and coming in ninth among ten western films in 2008 ' s genre - based
10 top 10
( sadly and seemingly the end of the yearly afi list summer tradition ) .
i am trying to find a movie . john wayne a widow her boy . there is a yellow house if i remember correctly john wayne was sick in this film . he tells the little boy he is going to spank himin the wood shed . i dont remember the whole plot its been almost 16 years since i watched it . but it use to be my and my grandfathers movie and i really want a copy of it does anyone know what i am talking about and it is not the shootist i just watched that
the criterion collection ' s recent dvd lives up to the studio ' s high standards . the feature presentation exhibits more flaws than desirable , but it ' s still more than sufficient . meanwhile , the loads of bonus features cover almost every inch of interest related to the film and its director . ( john wayne fans may wish the star was given more notice here . ) the solid audio commentary and the revealing 72 - minute interview with ford are most winning , but all of criterion ' s usual nice touches are appreciated as always .
, is as familiar to paratroopers today as it was in wwii . it is a dramatic and lively tune that never lost its appeal over the years . it is almost impossible to attend a major ceremony in the 82nd airborne division at fort bragg without hearing this staple of war - era music fill the air . so well - loved is this song that even troopers who are not so musically inclined find themselves drawn into singing along ! in the civilian world , remnants of the confidence - inspiring yell remain . they can still be seen in the actions of that kid jumping from the death - defying height of the top bunk and yelling what he thinks might be his last word ,
geronimo
.
when doc explains that he is leaving town permanently , the bartender acquiesces and provides him with a free drink :
just this one .
the only other person in the bar is another passenger from the coach , mr . samuel peacock ( donald meek ) , a timid , solemn whiskey drummer ( salesman ) . [ peacock is continually mistaken for a clergyman , and called by incorrect names throughout the film - hancock and haycock . ] the three characters - the bartender , doc , and peacock - form a triangle , with peacock at its apex in the background .
the credit titles are presented with a woodblock style typeface . following the credits but before the main story , a short prologue presents the perilous atmosphere . two couriers ( one a cheyenne indian ) gallop on horseback to a military / cavalry outpost , going past where a flag is being raised . faintly in the background ,
i dream of jeannie with the light brown hair
is heard on the soundtrack . they report to a captain and lieutenant ( tim holt ) that apaches
have burnt every ranch building in sight
and
are being stirred up by geronimo .
the captain is assured that the passive - faced indian scout ( chief big tree ) isn ' t lying :
naw , he ' s a cheyenne . they hate apaches worse than we do .
the next day he fulfilled his promise . eberhardt ' s fellow paratroopers heard the word ,
geronimo
repeatedly fill the air from the moment he jumped out until his feet touched the ground ! others in the platoon picked up on the idea in their subsequent parachute jumps and the beginnings of a tradition formed in the skies above lawson army airfield as more of the platoon mimicked private eberhardt ' s bold , mid - air yell . had an indian warrior ' s name ever before been used in such an adrenaline - filled situation ? in all probability this idea was born in the mind of none other than a us army private , with his only help being a mountain of paratrooper confidence and the inspiring chief thunder cloud on the screen of the fort benning ' s main post theatre .
set in the wake of the civil war , this film lets us travel west from arizona territory to new mexico . the titular vehicle gathers a diverse lot of strangers from various walks of life . our initial point of entry is lucy mallory ( louise platt ) , a quiet soldier ' s wife intending to meet her husband . she is joined by two people driven out of town by the women ' s league of law and order : broke , ever - drunken doctor boone ( thomas mitchell ) and dallas ( top - billed claire trevor ) , a woman of ill repute . also present are mr . peacock (
( 27 : 09 ) . this premiere installment of the film - adapting nbc radio series
screen director ' s playhouse
has john wayne and claire trevor aurally reprising their roles , with ward bond playing doc boone and john ford introducing the performance . it stays close to the movie , only heavily condensing it for a half - hour of airtime . while it can be heard on a standard dvd player , the program is better enjoyed via the eight transferable mp3 files criterion has included for dvd - rom use ( which have the fast - forwarding , rewinding , and pausing capabilities the dvd ' s playback lacks ) .
i have no doubt that this is the superior dvd release of the film , but don ' t get rid of warner ' s special edition if you have it and appreciate its many exclusive bonus features . if you ' re blu - ray - equipped but selective with your premium purchases , you might like to know that the identically - priced single - disc blu - ray is actually now selling for a dollar and a half less than the dvd at amazon . whichever format you opt for , criterion ' s release garners a recommendation for anyone fond of ford , wayne , or the golden age of hollywood at large .
( 54 : 24 ) . one of ford ' s earliest works , this comedy western tells of a love triangle , as a simple wyoming rancher ( played by harry carey , sr . ) tries to regain the girl ( molly malone ) he lost to a mustachioed horse inspector from new york city ( vester pegg ) . a copy of the film , long feared lost , was discovered in 2002 and restored . that explains why , alternating between gold and green tinting , it looks and sounds fresh with new intertitles and piano score . unfortunately , it did very little for me on any level , beyond reminding me that a lot of silent films are really boring by today ' s standards .
so this movie doesn’t stand tall only due to its mass popularity , it also has got official accolades to corroborate its significance among classic western movies . the movie opens on a funeral . the funeral of tom doniphan ( john wayne ) . a u . s . senator ( ransom stoddard - james stewart ) and his wife have come back to the small town of shinbone to attend this funeral , in an unnamed western state . the senator explains a newsman why he has come to bury an apparent nobody . he narrates the whole story and the film unfolds in flashback . fold by fold movie reveals the secret behind the man once who shot a feared outlaw liberty valance . a must watch from john wayne movies collection !

1sg ed howard , a co , 1 / 507th pir ( airborne school ) . late 1999 photo taken at fort benning , georgia , about a year and a half before his retirement .
at 6 ' 3
, private aubrey eberhardt was the biggest paratrooper of the platoon and growing up on a georgia farm during the depression made him as tough as he was big . the 24 year old was used to hard work in the hot georgia sun but the training regimen and parachute jumps taxed his mind and body as much as it did the other 49 men .

the red raider roars into battle . . . with 10 , 000 yelling indians at his back !
. lancaster , as massai , is shipped to florida with blue , but his character escapes to return to his arizona homeland , only to be pursued relentlessly by john mcintire as chief of scouts al sieber .
. silverheels , who will later be recognized in households across the country as the lone ranger’s faithful indian companion tonto , is the epitome of the “bad indian” cinematic cliché . he refuses to accept the road of peace and civilization offered by the encroaching whites . conversely , chandler is the quintessential “good indian” who sees the wisdom of coexistence and cooperation . in the photo , chandlers is seated to the left of james stewart , who plays indian agent tom jeffords .
, as it will do in many subsequent movies and tv shows . inclan is shown here opposite george montgomery , who plays a fictional cavalry officer .
( shown here , with murphy at left and silverheels at far left ) . not surprisingly , the heroic white emerges triumphant .
, columbia’s 1993 rambling release is less faithful to fact . directed by walter hill ,
concentrates on the 1880s , when nearly 20 percent of the u . s . army’s combat forces takes to the field against the apache chief and his handful of followers . wes studi , who previously was the diabolical heavy in both
, rides in to san carlos ( at center ) with lt . charles gatewood ( at left , played by jason patric ) in the photo . two distinguishing aspects of this sprawling homage to the cavalry - versus - indian genre are the casting of indians in all the major roles and the use of the apache language by the principals , with english subtitles . many of the details , such as clothing , firearms and the like , are authentic , but , in the end , this blood and thunder epic is not a history lesson—rather , it entertains instead of educates .
. stock actor chief thundercloud ( right , shown at center ) does the honors , albeit receiving only minor billing . in one of the earliest known surviving films to feature the apache leader , chief thundercloud’s visage as an angry enemy seeking to kill all “white eyes” never waivers . according to a
review , thundercloud’s lines consist of a “vocabulary of one grunt and a historic repertoire of two expressions : grim and very grim . ”
john langellier received his phd in military history from kansas state university . after a 45 - year career in public history , he retired in tucson , arizona , in 2015 . he is the author of dozens of books , including fighting for uncle sam : blacks in the frontier army , due out in early 2016 .
dan piraro grew up wanting to look indian and ended up paying homage to them with his humor .
for decades , moviemakers used centerfire , metallic - cased cartridge guns with dummy flintlocks to emulate the real thing .

this ford western paved the way for all his other memorable westerns , including my darling clementine ( 1946 ) , his
cavalry
trilogy , the searchers ( 1956 ) , and the man who shot liberty valance ( 1962 ) . an inferior , technicolor remake was attempted by gordon douglas in the 60s , stagecoach ( 1966 ) with bing crosby , ann - margret , robert cummings , stefanie powers , and red buttons .
they act out in their relationships their representative social types . in stagecoach , nine passengers during a stagecoach journey are placed together in a position of danger , one in which their true characters are tested and revealed . major social issues and themes ( sexual and social prejudice , alcoholism , childbirth , greed , shame , redemption and revenge ) are closely mixed together into an exciting adventure story .
the main locale is the southwest of the 1880s in the little town of tonto , arizona , where the characters are carefully introduced . ( eventually , there will be six stagecoach passengers accompanied by three others - the driver , the shotgun assistant , and an escaped prisoner who joins the group on the trail . )
in the town ' s miners ' & cattlemens ' bank ( with capital of $ 50 , 000 and assets of $ 250 , 000 proudly displayed on the front door window ) , pompous , self - important banker henry gatewood ( berton churchill ) accepts the $ 50 , 000 wells fargo payroll delivery from the coach lines , declaring :
what ' s good for the banks is good for the country .
a closeup of gatewood ' s snarling face is seen with the shadow of a cross behind him like a curse .
is this the face that wrecked a thousand ships and burnt the towerless tops of ilium ? ( he gestures with a farewell kiss ) farewell .
dallas complains to the bibulous and disreputable doc about their shared predicament of being victims of a disease called
social prejudice .
they are escorted / railroaded out of town by decent , self - righteous citizens :
dallas : haven ' t i any right to live ? what have i done ? boone : we ' re the victims of a foul disease called social prejudice , my child . these dear ladies of the law and order league are scouring out the dregs of the town . come on . be a proud , glorified dreg like me .
boone offers his arm to his banished companion dallas , invoking thoughts of the french revolution :
take my arm , madame la comtesse . the tumbril awaits . to the guillotine !
they walk arm in arm to the local saloon where dr . boone enters and asks jerry ( jack pennick ) the bartender for one last drink :
boone : jerry , i ' ll admit as one man to another that economically , i haven ' t been of much value to you . suppose you could put one on credit ? jerry : if talk was money doc , you ' d be the best customer i ' ve got .
the intoxicated doctor moves over to the salesman after learning his profession , falsely pretending friendship by putting his arm on his shoulder . he is keenly interested in the ample supply of whiskey samples from the man ' s small case . in the bank , gatewood speaks to his shrewish , domineering wife ( brenda fowler ) who demands five dollars to pay the butcher - she informs him of her invitation for lunch with the ladies of the law and order league . presumably , this is the last straw - mr . gatewood places the wells fargo payroll in a leather bag and prepares to take flight with the embezzled funds .
a southern gambler with superficial eastern sensibilities , hatfield ' s main purpose is to strictly guard mrs . mallory ' s virtue . soon after , when they are close to the outskirts of town , a sixth passenger - banker mr . gatewood flags down the coach and boards , carrying a small bag in which he absconds the funds . as he boards , he makes a questionable statement :
buck : goin ' to lordsburg ? gatewood : that ' s right . just got a telegram . i stopped to pack this bag .
i just took this job ten years ago so i can make enough money to marry my mexican girl julietta . i ' ve been workin ' hard at it ever since . . . my wife ' s got more relatives than anyone you ever did see . i bet i ' m feedin ' half the state of chihuahua . . . and what do i get to eat when i get home in lordsburg . nothing but frijoles beans . that ' s all . nothin ' but beans , beans , beans .
inside the coach , doc boone takes advantage of more of peacock ' s samples . boone also explains to gatewood why they are being escorted by troops :
both doc boone and curley are suspicious and mystified by gatewood ' s assertion that he had received a telegraph message from lordsburg , knowing that the lines have been cut :
i can ' t figure out how he got that message . . . he said he got a message . the telegraph line ain ' t workin ' .

the great k & a train robbery ( 1926 ) this is first known western movie he acted in ( he was an uncredited extra though ) . tom mix was the main star of the movie and performed his all stunts himself . a must watch for old western movie freaks .
marion robert morrison of winterset , iowa not only gets promoted from a help - boy to the first leading role of his movie career… . but also he gets his new name from director raoul walsh …john wayne ! !
and an era of john wayne movies begins . although the movie didn’t do well on box - office , our 23 year old john gives a nice performance and finds his way into small budget western movies and serials . it would be another 9 years till his star - making stagecoach will happen .
two fisted law ( 1932 ) john wayne plays a rancher who is having hard times . he is about to lose his ranch , his girlfriend and everything he has . then a robbery happens in the town and john wayne ‘the duke’ is the prime suspect . in a situation like this only ‘two fisted law’ can help .
the man from monterey ( 1933 ) riders of destiny ( 1933 ) wayne plays a secret agent sent on a mission to help poor ranchers who are threatened by a gang of goons and their water supply is endangered . duke is playing secret agent but don’t expect a 007 out of him . that was too early for him .

true grit movie i have seen by accident but it is a marvelous movie . at the end i wept . i have seen the remake also with latest technic but the former is superb .
saw only the ending of a john wayne movie the other day and trying to find title . two men and a woman were riding horseback trying to escape from an area where the landscape was crumbling around them . the rocks and cliffs kept falling as they frantically rode past them . they made it out before the whole place seemed to collapse onto itself . any idea what this is ?
are you sure it was john wayne ? sounds more like the end of mackenna’s gold with gregory peck .
