Ray Milland
Ray Milland( born Alfred Reginald Jones, 3 January 1907 – 10 March 1986) was a Welsh- U.S. actor and film director.
His screen career ran from 1929 to 1985, and he is best remembered for his Oscar- winning portrayal of an alcoholic writer in" The Lost Weekend"( 1945), a sophisticated leading man opposite a corrupt John Wayne in" Reap the Wild Wind"( 1942), the murder- plotting husband in" Dial M for Murder" which was directed by Alfred Hitchcock( 1954), and as Oliver Barrett III in" Love Story"( 1970).
Before becoming an actor, Milland served in the Household Cavalry of the British Army, becoming a proficient marksman, horseman, and aeroplane pilot.
He left the army to follow a career in acting and appeared as an extra in several British productions before getting his first major role in" The Flying Scotsman"( 1929).
This led to a nine- month contract with MGM, and he moved to the United States, where he appeared as a stock actor.
After being released by MGM, he was picked up by Paramount, which used Milland in a range of lesser speaking parts, normally as an English character.
He was lent to Universal for a film called" Three Smart Girls"( 1936), and its success had Milland given a lead role in" The Jungle Princess"( also 1936) alongside new starlet Dorothy Lamour.
The film was a big success and catapulted both to stardom.
Milland remained with Paramount for almost 20 years, and in addition to his Oscar- winning role in" The Lost Weekend", he is also remembered for the films" The Major and the Minor"( 1942)," The Big Clock"( 1948), and" The Thief"( 1952), the last of which had him nominated for his second Golden Globe.
After leaving Paramount, he began directing, and ended his career moving into television.
Milland, who was at one time Paramount Pictures' highest- paid actor, co-starred alongside many of the most popular actresses of the time, including Gene Tierney, Grace Kelly, Lana Turner, Marlene Dietrich, Ginger Rogers, Jane Wyman, Loretta Young, and Veronica Lake.
I Want Your Love (film)
I Want Your
Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film.
Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews.
The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons.
The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes.
The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword.
This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively.

The producer of Chabrol's film was Marin Karmitz and the leading actors were Emmanuelle Béart and François Cluzet.

Lisbon (1956 film)
Lisbon is a 1956 American film noir crime film produced and directed by Ray Milland and starring Milland, Maureen O' Hara, Claude Rains, Edward Chapman, and Jay Novello.
An American smuggler based in Lisbon is hired to rescue a wealthy industrialist from behind the Iron Curtain.
The film was shot on location in Lisbon, Portugal, in Trucolor and Naturama for Republic Pictures.

Claude Chabrol
Claude Henri Jean Chabrol( 24 June 1930 – 12 September 2010) was a French film director and a member of the French New Wave(" nouvelle vague") group of filmmakers who first came to prominence at the end of the 1950s.
Like his colleagues and contemporaries Jean- Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Éric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette, Chabrol was a critic for the influential film magazine" Cahiers du cinéma" before beginning his career as a film maker.
Chabrol's career began with" Le Beau Serge"( 1958), inspired by Hitchcock's" Shadow of a Doubt"( 1943).
Thrillers became something of a trademark for Chabrol, with an approach characterized by a distanced objectivity.
This is especially apparent in" Les Biches"( 1968)," La Femme infidèle"( 1969), and" Le Boucher"( 1970) – all featuring Stéphane Audran, who was his wife at the time.
Sometimes characterized as a" mainstream" New Wave director, Chabrol remained prolific and popular throughout his half- century career.
In 1978, he cast Isabelle Huppert as the lead in" Violette Nozière".
On the strength of that effort, the pair went on to others including the successful" Madame Bovary"( 1991) and" La Cérémonie"( 1996).
Film critic John Russell Taylor has stated that" there are few directors whose films are more difficult to explain or evoke on paper, if only because so much of the overall effect turns on Chabrol's sheer hedonistic relish for the medium ...
Some of his films become almost private jokes, made to amuse himself."
James Monaco has called Chabrol" the craftsman par excellence of the New Wave, and his variations upon a theme give us an understanding of the explicitness and precision of the language of the film that we do n't get from the more varied experiments in genre of Truffaut or Godard."
