The Touchables (film)
The Touchables is a 1968 British crime drama film directed by Robert Freeman and written by Ian La Frenais from a story by Donald Cammell.
It stars Judy Huxtable, Esther Anderson and James Villiers.
The screenplay was written by Ian La Frenais, who had created the comedy" The Likely Lads" for television with his partner Dick Clement.
It was the only film directed by Robert Freeman, the photographer responsible for a number of Beatles album covers.
A mannequin of Diana Dors which appears in the film was the same model as was used in the cover montage of" Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
Other cast members include John Ronane, Peter Gordeno, Harry Baird, Simon Williams and Joan Bakewell in a cameo role as an interviewer.
The cast also includes appearances by many popular British wrestlers, including Ricki Starr, Steve Veidor, Danny Lynch and Bruno Elrington.
Largely ignored on its release and since, owing to the scarcity of prints, it has recently acquired cult status of its type, in part due to a DVD release.
Douglas Cammell, who supplied the original story, would later rework its themes in" Performance"( 1970).
Kyōen Kobanzame
There are two parts of the film: the first part and the second part.
Both parts have the same staff and the same actors.
Matt Corboy
Matt Corboy( born June 4, 1973) is an American actor.
He has appeared in both films and television series.
Francis Ford Coppola
Francis Ford Coppola( born April 7, 1939) is an American film director, producer, screenwriter, film composer, and vintner.
He was a central figure in the New Hollywood filmmaking movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
He is widely considered to be one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
After directing" The Rain People" in 1969, Coppola co-wrote" Patton"( 1970), earning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay along with Edmund H. North.
Coppola's reputation as a filmmaker was cemented with the release of" The Godfather"( 1972).
The film revolutionized movie- making in the gangster genre, and was adored by the public and critics alike.
" The Godfather" won three Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay( shared with Mario Puzo).
" The Godfather Part II", which followed in 1974, became the first sequel to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Highly regarded by critics, the film brought Coppola three more Academy Awards:
Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture, and made him the second director( after Billy Wilder) to be so honored three times for the same film.
" The Conversation", which Coppola directed, produced and wrote, was released that same year, winning the Palme d' Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
His next film," Apocalypse Now"( 1979), which notoriously had a lengthy and strenuous production, was widely acclaimed for its vivid depiction of the Vietnam War.
The film won the Palme d' Or, making Coppola one of only eight filmmakers to have won that award twice.
While a number of Coppola's ventures in the 1980s and 1990s were critically lauded, he has never quite achieved the same commercial success with films as in the 1970s.
His best- known films released since the start of the 1980s are the dramas" The Outsiders" and" Rumble Fish"( both 1983), the crime dramas" The Cotton Club"( 1984) and" The Godfather Part III"( 1990), and the horror film" Bram Stoker's Dracula"( 1992).
A number of Coppola's relatives and children have become famous actors and filmmakers in their own right: his sister is the actress Talia Shire; his daughter Sofia Coppola and granddaughter Gia Coppola are directors, and the actors Jason Schwartzman and Nicolas Cage are his nephews.
Rumble Fish
Rumble Fish is a 1983 American drama film directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
It is based on the novel" Rumble Fish" by S. E. Hinton, who also co-wrote the screenplay.
The film centers on the relationship between a character called the Motorcycle Boy( Mickey Rourke), a revered former gang leader wishing to live a more peaceful life, and his younger brother, Rusty James( Matt Dillon), a teenaged hoodlum who aspires to become as feared as the Motorcycle Boy.
Coppola wrote the screenplay for the film with Hinton on his days off from shooting" The Outsiders".
He made the films back to back, retaining much of the same cast and crew, particularly Matt Dillon and Diane Lane.
" Rumble Fish" is dedicated to Coppola's brother August, and was the film debut for his nephew, Nicolas Cage( Smokey).
The film is notable for its avant- garde style with a film noir feel, shot on stark high- contrast black- and- white film, using the spherical cinematographic process with allusions to French New Wave cinema and German Expressionism.
" Rumble Fish" features an experimental score by Stewart Copeland, drummer of the musical group the Police, who used a Musync, a new device at the time.
