Talk:Baby Face (film)

message: The section in the article, Altered speech, discusses the Nietzsche-loving cobbler’s advice to Stanwyck’s Lilly having been dubbed in with lines scripted by the Production Code’s Breen. However, the version aired by Turner Classic Movies on Friday, May 25, 2018, at 12:00PM-EDT, has the original speech restored, the one that advises Lilly to use men to get what she wants from life, advice that does not include any of Breen’s moralizing. How should this section be updated? How does one cite a broadcast of a film? Thanks! — SpikeToronto 09:37, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Cool Hand Luke

message: Is it a fact that the movie location was in Florida and it was a Florida State Chain Gang?  I lived in Northern Louisiana from 1956 to 1960, and I can tell you that my impression when I watched the film was that it was a Louisiana prison chain gang and that the prison would be somewhere in the swamps of Southern Louisiana.  Spraying the dirt roads with oil was commonplace, and I witnessed prisoners chained together working on road maintenance.  The accents and backgrounds of the prisoners and guards was very much Louisiana of the 1950's.  Is the location in the script?  JimBray1944 (talk) 00:41, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:The Adventures of André & Wally B.

message: My (strong) memory is that quite a few more than 10 VAX 11/750's were used at Project Athena; I had just installed the first batch of 50 machines, and they were mostly idle at that moment; I think we sucked most of the machines into the rendering.  My guess would be it was more like 40 systems.
IIRC, I was involved in making this happen at the Project Athena end. Sam Leffler had given us a Berkeley UNIX tutorial, and I think the contact was between him and myself.

There is a 1980 TV film "Jimmy B. & André" which seems a more likely inspiration of the form of the title. 
Its plot has little resemblance to "André & Wally B." but that is also very true of "My Dinner with André". 2600:1700:CA10:18A0:8CB4:53FD:5AB1:B5CB (talk) 16:24, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Best Cinematography?

message: The idea is "set-up" in the Article, that Roger Ebert somehow said that Robert Crumb was reluctant to make the film, but that Terry Zwigoff threatened to "kill himself" if the movie wasn't made.
"Ebert later clarified this in the audio commentary of the film's Criterion Collection re-release."
But the Article fails to mention exactly what this "clarification" was.  If the Article is going to include this bit of trivia (and I think it should, as it's interesting) then it should clearly detail the whole situation.  Exactly how did the misunderstanding/mistake take place, and how was the situation "clarified".  Either tell the whole story, or leave the whole thing out.

thread_title:  Peer review? 

message: The page states a citation is needed re the film's budget. I worked on the film as a production assistant. As I recall, the budget was not $3 million but more like $6-$7 million. When post-production dragged on, producer Bert Schneider had to take out a mortgage on his home to secure the completion of the film. The shooting went over budget and over schedule by several weeks, which is why Nestor Almendros had to leave to meet his commitment to Truffet to shoot The Man Who Loved Women.
The production was very difficult, mostly because Malick never knew what he wanted from one day to the next. We shot at 'magic hour' so often the crew joking called the film 'A Shot in the Dark'.
Many actors came in to shoot a number of scenes and sequences never used in the film, including Armand Assante, who can be seen riding the top of the train at the beginning of the film. Some of these scenes were written by Sam Sheppard or Malick or improvised. Stuart Margolin, who plays the foreman who Richard Gere hits with the shovel in Chicago early in the film is also seen as a different character entirely when they get to the farm! Actor songwriter, Paul Jabara also shot a role as Linda Manz tutor that did not make it into the film. The same year (1978) that Days of Heaven was nominated for 4 Oscars, he won for writing "Last Dance" for Donna Summer from the movie Thank God It's Friday (1978).
I became good friends with Nestor Almendros for the balance of his too short life. He told me that Haskel Wexler not only wanted credit on the film but wanted to take the ENTIRE credit for the film, citing that Nestor was not a member of the AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CINEMATOGRAPHERS - Nestor tried to join the guild to secure his credit, but they would not let him into the 'club' until he won his Oscar for the film. It became a big issue for the studio and the producers who went to bat for Nestor.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rixx62 (talk • contribs) 18:22, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:House of Games

message: The plot does not simply end with Margaret simply being able to forgive herself. The movie is more suggestive of other things. At the end of the movie, Margaret does what she was not able to do before, namely steal. She is in a restaurant and a woman is sitting besides her at another table. Margaret sees the woman light up a cigarette. After the woman puts the lighter away, Margaret asks the woman to please look over to the buffet to see what they're serving. When the woman does that, Margaret slips her hands into the woman's handbag and retrieves the gold lighter. The woman never realises that. Margaret lights up her cigarette and the story ends there.
What do you think the director is trying to tell us with this last scene? It's much more than simply that Margaret is able to forgive herself. Has Margaret become somewhat of a con-woman herself? Perhaps. And perhaps, even able to con people into believing that she has forgiven herself. And so, now who is being conned? The audience? 71.146.17.104 (talk) 02:48, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
