the saint meets the tiger is the title of a crime thriller produced by the british unit of rko pictures , produced in 1941 but not released until 1943 .

this was to be the last of the eight films in rko 's film series about the saint after his the saint 's vacation ( 1941 ) , hugh sinclair makes his second ( and final ) appearance as templar in this adventure , which sees templar investigating a dead body left on his doorstep .

this leads him to a quiet seaside village in cornwall where he pursues a mysterious villain known as the tiger .

co-starring in the film is jean gillie as templar 's love interest , patricia holm .

although this character made many appearances in the book series , this is to date the only film in which she appears .

the character next appears on screen portrayed by eliza dushku in an unbroadcast pilot for a saint tv series produced in the 2010s .

because of a dispute between rko and the saint 's creator , leslie charteris , the film was put on hold after shooting finished in june 1941 .

the reason for the dispute was that rko was about to release the gay falcon in october 1941 , the first film in their new the falcon series , and leslie charteris felt that the falcon was nothing but a copy of the saint , enhanced by the fact that george sanders played the falcon .

he was the most established face of the saint , after having played the character in five of the previous films , whereof the last had been released earlier the same year .

rko eventually sold the us distribution rights to republic pictures , while its british arm handled the uk distribution as planned , and the film was released in both countries in 1943 .

the saint meets the tiger is an adaptation of charteris ' first saint novel , meet - the tiger ! , and was the last saint novel adapted by the rko series .

in a sense it was also the last film in the rko series , as the final film , the saint 's return did not come until ten years later and was produced and distributed in the uk by british hammer films , while rko only handled the us distribution .

watched
the saint meets the tiger
first since it was based on the first book of the series . i really liked the complexity of the story , things get really twisted up till the end when the saint cuts through the tangled strands to explain everything . the second film in the set -
the saint ' s vacation
is a more of a hid & seek sort of story with a mysterious non - musical music box being hunted by various parties , with the saint trying to keep it out of their hands long enough to figure out what makes it valuable enough to kill . this was a bit shorter movie - coming in about an hour long . i enjoyed both films and am happy i added this set to my collection . the dvd - r worked fine and the quality of both films was more than adequate given the age of the source material .
and although the main character ' s name was simon templar , the
saint
was never mentioned .
in 1941 , george sanders left the role simon templar in the saint series and was replaced by hugh sinclair . the contrasts between sanders and sinclair is pretty striking . for sanders , the saint was an early highlight of a career that would see him earn parts in a pictures and even earn an academy award . for sinclair , this was as good as it got . sinclair just didn ' t have the presence that sanders did , and so both of his saint films were below sanders best stories . though both films were better than sanders subpar the saint ' s double trouble . the saint ' s vacation ( 1941 ) is the better of the two films and truthfully above average when compared to most 1940s b detective features . the saint is on vacation and gets involved in international intrigue over a music box which serves as the stories macguffin . it ' s not an original idea , but the execution of it in this film is pretty enjoyable . the end is somewhat frustrating and drawn out particularly since we never get to find out what exactly the hubbub was about other than that it was a macguff . the saint meets the tiger ( 1943 ) is based on the first saint novel and finds the saint on the trail of international gold smugglers . most of the movie is a little boring and hard to follow , so it ' s a bit below average . however , at the end of the movie , a madcap scene where the saint ' s sidekick and girlfriend are knocking people out aboard a ship really livens things up . so in short , the two films are almost mere images of each other . the saint ' s vacation is an above average film that ' s pretty interesting in the beginning but is bogged down by a slow ending . the saint meets the tiger is a below average film that ' s propped up by an ending that ' s a lot more fun than the film itself . overall , i ' d give the dvd 3 . 0 out of 5 . 0 and recommend it only for saint completists at its retail price .
at last i managed to get the last book in ` the saint ' collection within breaking the bank . great find , thrilled
once you get past the idea of the saint having a moustache , the films are a pleasure . i enjoyed the clever way the original stories are re - scripted for the screen .
although not the first screen appearance of simon templar , this film is based on the very first saint novel .
a man murdered at the saint ' s doorstep manages to utter a few words to simon templar before he dies , sending him off to the quaint resort village of baycombe where he confronts crime mastermind ' the tiger ' and his gang as they plan to smuggle gold bullion out of the country .
a superb introduction to the saint in north devon . although leslie charteris was rather critical of his first saint adventure , there is plenty of action and the true identity of . . .

a bit better than vacation , but still not as good as the sanders films . the movie has a decent mystery involving who the tiger is and a few saint - like attributes ( a bit of humor between the saint and his detective friend , a little fun with his support team ) , but its still missing too much of what made the sanders films fun that it never becomes more than a bland generic b - picture .

( in san francisco , the saint fights a racket preying on chinese families . )
another
saint
story that suffers from low - budget and hugh sinclair . . .
when a man is killed on his doorstep , simon templar ( hugh sinclair ) tries to find out the reason in
the saint meets the tiger ,
a 1943 film also starring gordon mcleod , jean gillie and wylie watson . in this episode , the saint has a butler ( wylie watson ) who regrets not taking a job in chicago so he could work with mobsters ; a death on the doorstep is what he ' s been waiting for . the man utters a few words before he dies , which lead simon and his butler to a small town . there they meet a young woman , pat ( gille ) , who becomes part of the
team
trying to uncover the identity of
the tiger
and reveal a scam involving gold and an old mine . the scenes on board ship were good , with the butler and pat working together knocking people out and not realizing simon was on board , too , and simon not knowing they were on board . the two would run across a body and accuse the other of knocking him out . inspector teal shows up posing as a professor . this is pleasant enough , though sanders brought a certain panache to the role of the saint that is missed here . and why , when the series was imported to britain , wasn ' t the saint ' s whistle brought along with him ?
i was disappointed when the saint didn ' t kiss his butler / man - servant horace at the end , but the girl did , causing horace to shoot his gun off . i ' m thinking that if the saint would have kissed horace , more than a gun would have gone off !
the overwhelming reason why anyone would be anxious to catch
the saint meets the tiger
is the bright , charismatic , lively and super lovely jean gillie . here delightfully animated gillie not only has a lead role that is right up her alley but a photographer in australian - born robert krasker who really knew how to present her super - attractively . the rest of the players – including the rather dull hugh sinclair as
the saint
– in this otherwise rather routine if reasonably pacey entry , don ' t make anything like the same impression – aside from charles victor who registers strongly in a very small role . the direction by the always competent paul l . stein would certainly win no awards here . as said , it ' s competent but routine , serviceable but unexciting . i ' d normally give a movie like this one , a seven , but miss gillie turns into a top - drawer eight ! available ( coupled with
the saint ' s vacation
) on an excellent warner archive dvd .
george sanders shall always be my favorite saint ( followed a distant second by roger moore in the 60s and warren william while on break from perry mason ) , yet hugh sinclair ' s portrayal is not too far off and fits well with my 30 ' s - 40 ' s collection of crime - solving amatuers and pro ' s , alike . the saint ' s vacation is closer to the sanders version while tiger seems a bit too thin and likely ended sinclair ' s saint career . yet , i ' ll likely watch them both as often as my favorites !
translates to ' the saint lies in wait ' in english . this film was not distributed in any english - speaking country .
the saint meets the tiger is the second film rko made in britain with a british cast with hugh sinclair in the title - role . the plot is a familiar one : the saint ( hugh sinclair ) travels down to cornwall to uncover a smuggling plot involving in which one million pounds of gold will leave the country . what makes this thriller worth watching , however , is its incidental pleasures : although much of it is shot in the studio , with quite obviously phony backgrounds , there are occasional sequences shot on location in cornwall , where we get an authentic impression of what british seaside life was like during the middle of world war ii . there are some notable performances from wylie watson as horace , the saint ' s faithful butler with a penchant for listening to gangster thrillers on the radio . when he is drawn into the action he takes every opportunity to assume the tough - guy role , pointing his loaded pistol at the villains . the eponymous tiger / tidemarsh ( clifford evans ) comes across as a very clever mastermind - on the one hand he is more than willing to look after pat holm ( jean gillie ) and ensure that she comes to no harm ; on the other hand he shows his true nature while trying to deal with his gang . the members of said gang are cleverly delineated , ranging from crooked financier lionel bentley ( dennis arundell ) , whose facial expressions seldom change , even when he is holding the saint at gunpoint ; to bittle ( charles victor ) , a tough - guy with an accent combining south african clipped vowels and a chicago twang . needless to say they are outwitted at the end , leaving the saint to walk off into the sunset with pat on his arm , but one has to admire their ambition .
an enigmatic gang leader known as
the boss ,
who is a dead - ringer for simon , puts
the saint
under suspicion of murder .
the saint meets the tiger
features competent british acting circa 1940 ' s but is just not up to the high expectations you might have after seeing the george sanders
saint
series . there is nothing really wrong with hugh sinclair ' s acting but it seems he would be more suited for one of those tough british wartime roles as a heroic commander or something like that . he is more in the strong military or policeman mold rather than the suave saint type as personified by the smooth , charismatic sanders . jean gillie is cute and youthfully energetic as the female lead and does a fine job of perking up this movie . the overall story is outstanding as the saint is on the trail of a crime ring and coyly infiltrates the inner workings of a small coastal town to look for stolen gold . i don ' t regard this movie as slow , but you could consider it methodical and geared for mystery / crime fans , and competently directed and plotted to showcase the well - conceived story . if you are expecting an example of beautiful 1940 ' s black - and - white cinematography you won ' t find it here . the movie seems more
grey - and - white
, at least the print of it i saw on tv . a shame . die - hard saint fans should be satisfied as the movie seems to make a great effort to remain true to its book - series roots .
the criminal - turned - sleuth finds a dying man whose last words provide a clue to the whereabouts of the loot from an unsolved gold robbery . following the trail to a cornish village , he is drawn into a showdown with a criminal mastermind known as the tiger , who has a plan to smuggle the ill - gotten gains out of the country . detective adventure , starring hugh sinclair and jean gillie .
the supporting cast is mostly weak , though jean gillie isn ' t bad as the love interest , and charles victor has a fair scene in which he tries to frame the saint for murder .
after a two - year gap , rko continued its wildly inconsistent saint series with this feeble story of smuggled ingots and worthless gold - mine shares . hugh sinclair is simply dreadful as simon templar in a cheapskate mystery directed by paul stein , an austrian who spent 25 years churning out insignificant programme fillers in both britain and hollywood . the studio bosses were so embarrassed by this penultimate film in the series , that they passed it to poverty row company republic to distribute in the usa . the sole interest comes from the fact that the tale was based on leslie charteris ' s first saint novel . eleven years later , louis hayward - the original saint in 1938 was tempted back to the role for the final film in the series , the saint ' s girl friday .
over in europe , dunstan meets a jesuit priest named padre blazon , an eccentric whose attitudes on religious are devout but questioning . through long conversations , he encourages dunstan to become more active in his own life , and to embrace his natural dark side .
the eighth and final saint film from rko . well , technically it was released here by republic but it was produced by rko two years earlier and sat on the shelf while the studio worked out its legal issues with saint creator leslie charteris . it ' s also the worst movie of the series , although still perfectly watchable . the plot has the saint up against a villain called the tiger . that ' s pretty much all you need to know to realize this isn ' t going to be much more than a generic programmer . returning as the saint is charmless hugh sinclair . his comic relief sidekick this time is valet horace , played by wylie watson . he ' s an improvement over the last sidekick but not by much . pretty jean gillie is the would - be love interest pat holmes . apparently this character was a bigger deal in the saint books but is just now making an appearance in this series . gillie does a fine job and arguably has the most personality of anyone in the cast . but her banter and romance with the dull sinclair is never very believable or interesting . everything is very 1940s british , staid and mannered and leisurely paced . the story isn ' t particularly strong but they shove enough humor and action in to keep it your interest .
val kilmer stars as simon templar , alias the saint . elisabeth shue stars as the leading lady . other cast members include valery nikolaev , rade serbedzija , and evgueni lazarev .
i became a saint fan in my teens and collected all the books eventually up to about 1980 but this one was one of the hardest to get - no internet then .
i have really enjoyed watching the saint movies today . simon templar has been so busy catching the bad guys . love too see charlie chan , boston blackie , . . .
this movie is fast on action as the saint finds out about stolen gold from a man murdered on his door step . it has low budget rko written all over it during this wartime release . because of this , there was no follow up to what could have enriched this film series . that is the addition of jean gillie as a love interest for the saint . this is her only time as pat holme who is a character in the novels . it actually looks at times that there are some real sparks between her hugh sinclair who is taking his second turn as the saint here . this followup to the saint takes a vacation is actually a pretty much standard detective film other than that . because of a dispute between the creator of the saint , leslie charteris and rko , this movie completed filming in june , 1941 and was not released until 1943 . it is also rko ' s last actual saint production as rko ' s the saint returns was actually produced by britains hammer productions . sadly jean gillie would die a few years later on pneumonia at age 33 .
a highly entertaining movie - adaption of the first adventure of simon templar ! hugh sinclair performs for the second time as
the saint
and gives a nice performance . great plus of this movie - adaption ( presented in very good picture - quality ) is the appearance of templar ' s love - interest pat holm ( she appears only in this movie ) and templar ' s butler horace . and we can watch how
the saint
uses his infamous knife ! that ' s very rarely seen . because of that this dvd is a great addition for your personal
the saint
- collection ! thanks to
odeon entertainment
for releasing the
saint
- movies !
ultra lightweight movie almost floats away . jean gillie is fine as pat holm ( borrowed from the very early saint novels ) , but hugh sinclair suffers compared to the more magnetic george sanders and lacks the vocal charm of vincent price ' s radio saint . one of the appealing things about the simon templar character was the suspicion that he was only on the side of the good guys for as long as it would prove profitable . none of this comes through in this republic effort , though the production values are reasonably high .
when boy , as head of colborne ' s board , asks dunstan to step down after the war , dunstan asks for a sabbatical , and with it travels to mexico to conduct some saint research . there , he meets paul again . paul has excelled even more as a magician , and has re - branded himself as magnus eisengrim . his show amazes dunstan . he spends time with the troupe at the behest of liesl , the bearded lady who manages the show ' s finances . she is a brilliant woman , and commissions dunstan to write a fictional biography of the great magician .
i enjoyed this saint double - feature and expect to do so again in future . the stories move along briskly ( at just 61 and 69 minutes long , respectively ) , the actors are all very capable , and there ' s plenty of excitement and humor . hugh sinclair is no george sanders , and i much prefer the latter in the role of the saint , but mr . sinclair isn ' t bad and he has two pretty solid screenplays to work with . in fact , the stories are better than those for a number of the george sanders
saint
films , so these hugh sinclair ones are worthwhile viewing . recommended for fans of
the saint
, british classic films , and light murder mystery or crime capers .
( in the south of france , the saint thwarts a new plot by greta morgan , who steals famous paintings and threatens to destroy them unless insurance companies pay her ransom money . )
at the geographer’s suggestion , the little prince visits earth , but he lands in the middle of the desert and cannot find any humans . instead , he meets a snake who speaks in riddles and hints darkly that its lethal poison can send the little prince back to the heavens if he so wishes . the little prince ignores the offer and continues his explorations , stopping to talk to a three - petaled flower and to climb the tallest mountain he can find , where he confuses the echo of his voice for conversation . eventually , the little prince finds a rose garden , which surprises and depresses him—his rose had told him that she was the only one of her kind .
( in the original nyh - t strip , the grey hoods are called the gray ghosts . )
i have been a saint fan for years , with the exception of that horrible recent movie with val kilmer . this movie pack has two movies , and hugh sinclair is an affable , if not somewhat goofy , version of the saint . his interpretation is quite contrary to the george sanders debonair saint most of us remember . having never read the books , i do not know which actor has the closest portrayal to the original . nonetheless , both of these movies are good fun , and produced back when movies were cranked out by studios by the day . good and simple scripts , decent acting , and few if any special effects - all lost arts . add this to your collection of saint movies starring george sanders .
( the saint foils the plans of big tony , a gangster who is determined to do everything in his power so that his daughter , lizza , who ignores his identity , is happy . )
saint meets the tiger , the ( 1941 ) * * ( out of 4 ) eighth and final film of the original series switched from rko over to republic . this time out the saint ( hugh sinclair ) gets involved with a gang of gold thieves who will stop at nothing to keep their riches . this entry is certainly better made than the previous film but in the end it still doesn ' t work too well . once again , we ' ve got a pretty interesting story to follow but sadly there ' s really no excitement and never any sense of real danger going on . this film also has a lot more comic relief than previous entries but , again , none of it really comes off too well . i think sinclair is a lot better here than he was in the previous film as he manages to make the best scenes in the movie . the supporting cast are all pretty forgettable , which is another downside to this series as they never really had any good character actors working in them . having now seen all of the films in the series i must say that overall this was the least interesting of them all . i think holmes , chan , boston blackie , the falcon and the crime doctor all were better series and this one here , to me , ranks at the bottom . i know this series has a strong following but it just didn ' t cut it for me .
( in the south of france , the saint defeats sir charles to keeps his niece wendy living in a fairy tales castle , château sorcelou , so that he can have her committed and keep her inheritance . )
( in los angeles , prof . pilby discovers a wonder drug endowing super strength and speed . the saint defeats gangsters who have their own ideas for its creative use . )
( drug kingpin warner wilson uses the saint to eliminate his four partners : lane , becker , harlan and henley , so that all the profits from their traffic will remain his alone . the plot revolves around the crestview medical facility and lane ' s use of chinese coffins to smuggle drugs . )
when you deposit a body on simon templar ' s doorstep what else can you expect but that the saint will get involved . but on which side of the law ? in an opening that was taken from the maltese falcon when captain jacoby arrives on sam spade ' s door dying and with the falcon , simon templar has a similar experience and before long is involved in exposing a smuggling racket . he ' s got competition though , another master criminal called the tiger , identity unknown , is also cutting himself in on the plans . we ' re not sure who ' s with who except that scotland yard has an undercover man as well . this is the second of two films that hugh sinclair starred in as simon templar over in great britain . this one ' s not as good as the first though sinclair makes one breezy saint . the story line is kind of muddled though that could be bad editing . for fans of the series only .
( in england , the saint takes part in a cross - country race to protect young automobile engineer ian foyle and his fiancée margaret westland from her villainous cousin charles west . )
the narrator takes comfort when he cannot find the prince’s body the next day and is confident that the prince has returned to his asteroid . the narrator is also comforted by the stars , in which he now hears the tinkling of his friend’s laughter . often , however , he grows sad and wonders if the sheep he drew has eaten the prince’s rose . the narrator concludes by showing his readers a drawing of the desert landscape and by asking us to stop for a while under the stars if we are ever in the area and to let the narrator know immediately if the little prince has returned .
for sinclair , his two films as the saint were a mere blip on his career radar . he would continue his stage career with notable performances in t . s . eliot ' s
this late , british entry in the saint series starts and ends quite well , but has an incredibly boring , extended middle , full of secret passages , dull characters and awkward pauses .
jean gillie ( sp ? ) makes this movie . she ' s too cute for words with her gung ho attitude . she ' s not really believable imo . she ' s just too calm in the face of danger given her background , but it ' s fiction after all , why not have a really strong female character to match up with the saint . a lot of the supporting cast is pretty dull george sanders is better as the saint imo . hugh does ok - he ' s charming and competent enough the plot is weak like most saint movies . i don ' t care really as long as the dialog entertains , and it does . i admit to having a real love for the early saint movies for their totally relaxing experience - the violence is comic when there is violence , and you always just assume the saint will manage to come out alive . even though the violence is comic , the body count is high in this movie . heck , i can ' t even remember how many people get killed ( or one assumes their wounds are fatal . ) i would say , if you liked the sanders saint movie , this one might appeal to you . if you like comic - mysteries from this era and don ' t mind weak plots you will like this . i think most people just have to like jean gillie here , what ' s to not like ?
i enjoyed the clever way the original stories are re - scripted for . . .
( the french motion picture
adaptation
bears no resemblance to the book . )
while journeying , the narrator tells us , the little prince passes by neighboring asteroids and encounters for the first time the strange , narrow - minded world of grown - ups . on the first six planets the little prince visits , he meets a king , a vain man , a drunkard , a businessman , a lamplighter , and a geographer , all of whom live alone and are overly consumed by their chosen occupations . such strange behavior both amuses and perturbs the little prince . he does not understand their need to order people around , to be admired , and to own everything . with the exception of the lamplighter , whose dogged faithfulness he admires , the little prince does not think much of the adults he visits , and he does not learn anything useful . however , he learns from the geographer that flowers do not last forever , and he begins to miss the rose he has left behind .
was met with decidedly weak box office response . in fact , rko was so unhappy with their two british - shot saint films they kept the second from u . s . screens for two years after
altogether not too bad a saint entry , the big problems being it was low budget and the annoying decomposition of the film when the ' 50 ' s tv dupe was made . unfortunately this can give you the feeling that by mistake you ' re watching dick barton , another ( ultra ) cheapo british sleuth series i like . i take it the original is lost ? to make up for it they did their british best with some atmospheric sets , nice templar repartee and a competent story . i haven ' t seen this film for over 20 years now or read meet the tiger for over 30 but it seemed familiar ie faithful to charteris ' s first saint story written in 1929 . i can ' t remember inspector teal in it however but all of the stalwart british cast work well together in an effective potboiler . the incidence of a man murdered on the saint ' s doorstep leads him and valet ( mr memory from the 39 steps ) - and teal - to a nest of savage gold smugglers in a quaint english seaside town . there ' s a pretty frank love interest and many twists and turns and multiple plot lines going on to keep you guessing how it will all turn out , although if you know your saint you know the ultimate outcome with the opening titles . hugh sinclair was not my idea of simon templar - he was chunkily adequate - but at this distance i wish he ' d gone on to make a dozen or so more i ' d yet to see ! so , imho well worth watching for fans and completists alike , especially if you can get over the bad condition of the print .
this entry begins with an intriguing opening - - a man is found dead on simon ' s doorstep and immediately simon calls an inspector who , as usual , suspects simon is holding out and knows more than he cares to reveal about the murder of a well - known bookie . inspector teal also has a confrontational moment with simon ' s innocent butler .
but i don ' t know anything ,
says simon ' s butler .
if you say that again , i ' ll arrest you on suspicion .
simon refers to his butler as a man who
sees the world through crime - colored glasses .
the attempts at humor are as dull as the script . unfortunately , hugh sinclair as
the saint
, has none of the charisma of either a george sanders or a tom conway , which is a huge drawback and jean gillie is so - so as the romantic interest . her instant dislike of simon is a bit overdone .
i didn ' t recognize you without your halo ,
she tells him by way of apology . nothing much happens that hasn ' t happened in a dozen other
saint
movies as simon attempts to find stolen gold and expose a crime boss called the tiger .
crooks work in the most select circles these days ,
he says , on the trail of gold thieves , while he moves through upper crust society . once again , inspector teal comes close to arresting simon for murder in a cat - and - mouse game . all the other familiar ingredients are here too , with simon making escapes from the bad guys in incredible fashion . but i was already weary of the plot by the time it got to the smuggler ' s cave of gold . the revelation of the tiger is only a modest surprise . summing up : moves quickly , but only moderately satisfying for
saint
fans .

it is now the narrator’s eighth day in the desert , and at the prince’s suggestion , they set off to find a well . the water feeds their hearts as much as their bodies , and the two share a moment of bliss as they agree that too many people do not see what is truly important in life . the little prince’s mind , however , is fixed on returning to his rose , and he begins making plans with the snake to head back to his planet . the narrator is able to fix his plane on the day before the one - year anniversary of the prince’s arrival on earth , and he walks sadly with his friend out to the place the prince landed . the snake bites the prince , who falls noiselessly to the sand .
the next day , boy is found dead in the bay , clutching his steering wheel and with the stone in his mouth . that night , dunstan attends the eisengrim show , and realizes through one of the episodes that paul had killed boy . he has a heart attack on the spot .

the second , and last , of the saint films made by rko’s british subsidiary ( although , strangely , distributed in the states by republic ) – like the first it stars hugh sinclair . and , although not nearly as formalized as the hollywood saint films , it’s not nearly as good . not that the hollywood ones were that marvellous , but george sanders gave them a certain charm ( admittedly , a slightly smug charm ) and a certain humour . . . he always looked like he was having fun . but hugh sinclair is just a bit dull : there were times when i was hoping that the bad guys would have done with it and just shoot him . and the whole thing is plodding . and there is lots of humour that is just…

l ' artiste de la puissance ( the power artist ) ( previously published in le saint detective magazine no . 153 - 154 ( nov . - dec , 1967 ) as un puissant artiste , translated by m . michel - tyl )


big fish is a 2003 american fantasy comedy-drama film based on the 1998 novel of the same name by daniel wallace .

the film was directed by tim burton and stars ewan mcgregor , albert finney , billy crudup , jessica lange , and marion cotillard .

other roles are performed by steve buscemi , helena bonham carter , matthew mcgrory , and danny devito among others .

edward bloom ( finney ) , a former traveling salesman in the southern united states with a gift for storytelling , is now confined to his deathbed .

will ( crudup ) , his estranged son , attempts to mend their relationship as bloom relates tall tales of his eventful life as a young adult ( portrayed by ewan mcgregor in the flashback scenes ) .

screenwriter john august read a manuscript of the novel six months before it was published and convinced columbia pictures to acquire the rights .

august began adapting the novel while producers negotiated with steven spielberg who planned to direct after finishing minority report ( 2002 ) .

spielberg considered jack nicholson for the role of edward bloom , but eventually dropped the project to focus on catch me if you can ( 2002 ) .

tim burton and richard d. zanuck took over after completing planet of the apes ( 2001 ) and brought ewan mcgregor and albert finney on board .

the film 's theme of reconciliation between a dying father and his son had special significance for burton , as his father had died in 2000 and his mother in 2002 , a month before he signed on to direct .

big fish was shot on location in alabama in a series of fairy tale vignettes evoking the tone of a southern gothic fantasy .

the film received award nominations in multiple film categories , including four golden globe award nominations , seven nominations from the british academy of film and television arts , two saturn award nominations , and an oscar and a grammy award nomination for danny elfman 's original score .

a very big presence in my life . i know this sounds like a joke , but it isn ' t .
to quote tim burton , the director of the 2003 film version of big fish , “ big fish is about what’s real and what’s fantastic , what’s true and what’s not true , what’s partially true , and how , in the end , it’s all true . ” edward creates elaborate myths about his past to hide himself , using storytelling as a means to avoid the truth . will desires logic and honesty , but edward is proud of who he is : a storyteller .

vince staples has dropped his new song “big fish , ” a follow - up to february’s “bagbak . ” the new release is in line with his more accessible recent work ( at least comparatively accessible ) , and takes cues from west coast funk . what hasn’t changed is staples’ mordant introspection : “it’s funny i was going crazy not to long ago / with my problems every morning like the maury show . ” the accompanying music video for “big fish” shows staples performing atop a sinking boat .
reliant more on powerful familial emotions than wacky splendor ,
big fish
treads as close to our real world as tim burton ever could - a melancholy dissection of paternal distance and never truly knowing how many lives those we love can truly affect .
will’s quest to seek out the truth in his father’s tall tales in order to mend their relationship before his father dies is a major theme in big fish the musical . edward ends up suffering a stroke and cannot tell his stories , so right before he dies , he asks will to tell him the ending . it is at this point where the conflict is resolved in the musical . will finally lets go of his anger and begins to understand his father for the first time and the reality concerning who his father was . will realizes that his father is on his own quest to be a “big fish in a big pond , ” so before his death they escape to the river where everyone in edward’s “mythical” life appears to say goodbye to him . will carries his father into the river where he is transformed into a “big fish”—symbolizing what he had always dreamed of being , and always had been .
there are long stretches of burton’s big fish in which you can feel the loopiness of his spirit busting free . based on a novel by daniel wallace , the movie is a gently overstuffed cinematic piñata , crammed with tall tales — with giants and circuses and fairy - tale woods , plus a huge squirmy catfish , all served up with a literal matter - of - fact fancy that is very pleasing . ”big fish , ” however , is also a father - son reconciliation movie that wants to give you a big cry . i’m generally a sucker for that sort of thing , but the movie ends up milking the audience when it should soar .

now , burton takes on a less flashy fantasy , with hints of surrealism sprinkled throughout . big fish tells the parallel stories of edward bloom ' s life and his death . at the end of his life , he tells fanciful stories about his youthful adventures involving giants , witches and circus freaks . then we get to see those adventures . there ' s a utopian town that looks like a toned down version of scissorhands ' suburban neighborhood . the title fish is a big old animatronic exaggeration of aquatic life , like something out of pee wee ' s big adventure . but for all of these burton - esque staples , the filmmaker doesn ' t even acknowledge his own style .

kaitlyn : “big fish” is special because it’s a good reminder that not all of your summer jams have to be peppy , it’s okay to indulge in some humidity - induced gloom , and a good reminder that vince staples is releasing a new album soon called big fish theory . it should also give you a little nudge to recall some of vince’s other music videos , which he famously comes up with the concepts for himself . for example , in a 10 - minute short film for his 2016 ep prima donna , vince raps as a bobblehead version of himself .

an adventure as big as life itself .
big fish is a very interesting movie . the plot jumps around and while we are being told the stories , we , like the child of the man in the stories , don ' t know what ' s true and what ' s false . now , big fish isn ' t one of my favorites from tim burton , but it does show some expansion in his filmmaking . this movie is more real life than anything he ' s ever done . sure there ' s some fantastical elements that remind us of other burton films , but this one is so much more different than anything he ' s ever done . big fish is the life story of a dying old man , ed bloom . he is a storyteller , that tells fantastical stories about his life , which seem to have little to do with reality . his son , will , also is under the belief that the stories are made up . either way we get to hear and see the stories the way ed would have told them . there ' s a lot of bizarreness going on here as you would suspect with any burton film . there ' s a giant , a witch , a humongous fish , and a love story that stops time . overall the plot elements add up to a pretty satisfactory story even if something seems to be missing from he overall outcome . big fish is a film i more appreciate then enjoy . i never have fallen in love with it , but it always entertains and intrigues me . it ' s well worth a watch as it has solid direction from burton and it boasts a strong and well - know cast .

but back to your question . in the book it remains somewhat vague , where all these stories come from . clearly some come from the father , some come from the son . the son ' s mythologizing of his father is encouraged by the father , at the very least . so that theme is there . in the end , though , it ' s impossible to make a big hollywood movie unless the characters are seen to be on some kind of quest . the father ' s quest is to be a big fish in a big pond , and the son ' s quest is to see through his tall tales . had john stuck to the predominant theme as presented in the book , the son wouldn ' t have the same clear quest .

what is the story of big fish ? big fish tells the larger - than - life tale of edward bloom , a man who leads an extraordinary life—according to the stories he tells his son , will . but will , who is getting married and expecting a child of his own , doesn’t think there’s any truth to the extravagant tales his father tells about meeting witches , kissing mermaids or joining the circus . he doesn’t even believe the story of how his father proposed to his mother , sandra , in a field full of daffodils . when edward’s health begins to decline , will visits his father and tries one last time to find out the truth behind the tall tales . as edward and will’s relationship becomes increasingly strained , will must decide whether to accept his father’s wild stories as fact or risk losing him completely .

tim burton may be the biggest name attached to big fish , but its really screenwriter john augusts ' movie , as he masterfully adapts a book about storytelling into a movie about storytelling with ease . in fact , i ' d say the biggest detriment to the film is burton himself , who seems out of his element , trying to cling to any creepy element he can find . in the non - fantastical scenes , his direction is boring and bland ; without any crazy stylistic flourishes , he seems to simply get the easiest shots possible . the actors in the movie are all incredibly talented , yet for some reason , none of them seem to be at their best ( except maybe albert finney ) . in the end , the story is involving and deep enough to carry all the flaws to the end , making big fish an understandably flawed but nonetheless ambitious and charming adventure .
spectre is quite a unique town brought to reality strongly through the imagination of dennis gassner . dennis is an american production designer , known for his work in “bugsy , ” “road to perdition , and of course “big fish . ” while many films will collect their footage from locations anywhere but what was actually written into the story , it was jointly agreed upon that “big fish” be shot exactly where the story takes place – alabama . you see , this town was never truly inhabited by a single soul – it was built on an island , specifically for the purpose of filming . the “town” lived a life of no more than a couple short years , providing a unique space for actors and actresses to dance wildly through the night , or for steve buscemi to eat pie . while it may appear to be an incredibly bizarre “lost” or “hidden” town , that’s not entirely the case .
the novel begins with the birth of edward bloom in ashland , alabama . he was a special kind of person , he had a way with animals , on his ninth birthday it snowed in alabama - which never happened , he never forgot a name or a face and by his twelfth year he knew everybody in his hometown by the sound their shoes made when they walked and he always wanted to be a big fish in the world .

no matter what the project is , here at big fish , we always insist on working through our branding process to establish the creative brief with our clients . one of the reasons we never pitch is that we believe it is impossible to gain a real understanding of a brand without working closely with the owners . one of the other reasons is that we charge lots of money for this work and don’t believe in giving things away for free .
everything we do at big fish has to look fantastic . we believe that design is about evoking as well as telling a clear story exploiting every single one of the senses . every creative brief we work on needs to allow us the freedom to explore any opportunity at the outset and not limit our imaginations . this is another reason why we never work on projects where design guidelines are already in place as we’re not good at adhering to rules .
based on the celebrated novel by daniel wallace and the acclaimed film directed by tim burton , big fish centres on edward bloom , a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest… and then some ! edward’s incredible , larger - than - life stories thrill everyone around him – most of all , his devoted wife sandra . but their son will , about to have a child of his own , is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales .
for much of ”big fish , ” we’re inside a crackpot magical - realist version of the american south , watching the storybook memories and fantastical whoppers — or are they true ? — of a man named edward bloom . we see him , at first , as an old , dying patriarch , played by albert finney with bullfrog jowls and a drawl he chews on like the sweet crushed leaves of a mint julep . finney , evoking the operatic splendor of charles laughton , makes bloom a blustery , arrogant crank , at loggerheads with his glumly rational son , will ( billy crudup ) , who resents his father because he has never known anything about him except for the outlandish yarns he tells . but then the movie swan - dives right into those stories , and suddenly bloom is no longer a smug , cantankerous big daddy . he’s a lean and happy young man , played by the spectacularly ingratiating ewan mcgregor , agleam with valor and optimism . ”big fish” turns into a wide - eyed southern gothic picaresque in which each lunatic twist of a development is more enchanting than the last . it’s like ”forrest gump” without the bogus theme - park politics .
