Children of Paradise
Les Enfants du Paradis, released as Children of Paradise in North America, is a 1945 French epic romantic drama film directed by Marcel Carné.
It was made during the German occupation of France during World War II.
Set against the Parisian theatre scene of the 1820s and 1830s, it tells the story of a beautiful courtesan, Garance, and the four men who love her in their own ways: a mime artist, an actor, a criminal and an aristocrat.
A three- hour film in two parts, it was described in the original American trailer as the French answer to" Gone With the Wind"( 1939), an opinion shared by the critic David Shipman.
The leading" nouvelle vague" director François Truffaut once said:" I would give up all my films to have directed" Children of Paradise, and, in" The Duke in His Domain"( 1957) by Truman Capote, actor Marlon Brando called it" maybe the best movie ever made".
The film was voted" Best Film Ever" in a poll of 600 French critics and professionals in 1995.

Jim Wynorski
Jim Wynorski( born August 14, 1950 in Glen Cove, Long Island, New York) is an American screenwriter, director, and producer.
Wynorski has been making B-movies and exploitation movies since the early 1980s, and has directed over 150 feature films.
His earliest films were released to movie theaters, but his later works have predominantly been released to cable or the straight- to- video market.
He often works under pseudonyms such as" Jay Andrews, Arch Stanton, H.R.
Blueberry, Tom Popatopolis," and" Noble Henry."
His movies often spoof horror films:" Cleavagefield", for example, parodies" Cloverfield The Bare Wench Project" parodies" The Blair Witch Project", and" Para- Knockers Activity" parodies" Paranormal Activity".
A character in the film" The Final Destination" is named after him.
In 2009, the documentary" Popatopolis", directed by Clay Westervelt and named for one of Wynorski's pseudonyms, chronicled Wynorski during the making of his soft- core horror film," The Witches of Breastwick".
The film serves as a partial biography, with clips from many of his previous films and includes interviews with Wynorski, his contemporaries, cast, and crew.
In 2016, he directed" Nessie& Me", marking the first time that he directed a children's film.
The character Jack O’ Grady directly references Wynorski's earlier films" Dinocroc vs. Supergator" and" Piranhaconda" when he encounters Nessie at the start of the film, hinting that" Nessie& Me" is canon to those film series, as well as" Monster Cruise", with many characters from it appearing in" Nessie& Me" as well.
