This puzzles me. Is this the same "Close To Eden" that starred Melanie
Griffith, directed by Sidney Lumet, about a murder in the Hasidic Jewish
community (it was released in the US under the title "Stranger Among Us")?

The reason I ask is because, when nominations were announced, I got a press
release from Fox-Columbia-TriStar here in Australia gloating about their
nominations. This film was listed, and the one THEY were referring to was
the Lumet film. Needless to say, it's in English...

Florence Lawrence did not have the box-office of Mary Pickford, and
she was called the "IMP Girl" *because* Pickford was called the
"Biograph Girl."  Again:  Florence Lawrence, who gained lots of fame
*WHEN* Carl Laemmle hired away from Biograph...  I think you would

I compared both the MGM CLV and the CRI CAV.  Overall I thought the
Criterion picture was MUCH better.  Lower color noise, less smearing
of reds, sharper better details.  Most importantly the blacks are solid
and noise-free.  For the many images of outer space, that is essential.
So much for 70mm transfers.

A good idea, but try to find someone to pay for the research. There are several 
factors affecting the focus:
	the quality of the lens
	the design of the projector gate (which holds the film steady when 
exposed to light)
	the film itself
		the quality of the image on the film (labs do screw up)
		any distortion (weave, curl, buckling, blistering)
	the steadiness of the light source
	the light path from the source to the film plane (lamp, reflector, 
shutter, etc)
	how parallel the film plane is to the plane of the screen
	the screen (flat, curved)

There are probably others that I haven't thought of yet. 

In theory, once the focus is set for the correct distance from the film plane 
to the screen, the focus shouldn't change. It's the characteristics of the film 
itself that can vary from reel to reel, or even within a reel, that must be 
corrected for by focusing.

"The Dark Backward" - She plays Judd Nelson's grimy, dimwitted girlfriend in
                      one of the wierdest movies of the last few years.

"Wayne's World" - She plays Stacy, Wayne's loony, injury-prone ex-girlfriend.

"How I Got Into College" - A HS senior tries...well, you know. Teenage pap.

"The Rookie" - She plays Charlie Sheen's smart, stalked girlfriend.

And on TV's "Twin Peaks", she played Donna Hayward, dead Laura Palmer's best
friend. She declined to reprise the role in the movie "Fire Walk With Me."

In the early '80s, he also had a cameo in 1941.  I don't know

I had always heard that the actress playing the older daughter had been
raped and murdered not too long after the movie was out (1 or 2 years)
but that was always an unconfirmed rumor. 

I do know that the child actress who played Carol-Ann died from some 
strange ?virus? or something that was misdiagnosed. I remember seeing 
this on a 60 minutes type show a few years ago. I think the parents 
were trying to sue the hospital or medical staff. If you ever see 
Poltergeist III you can tell that she (Carol-Ann) has something wrong
with her because her face is so bloated (they pointed this out in the
show).

The interview with the director of The Crying Game said that he wanted
