This Day in Buster… June 13, 1957 Canadian newspaper, The Sault Star, insists that Buster Keaton “…never cracked a smile through all his 36 two-reelers & 24 features comedies…” #oldhollywood #damfino #silentfilm

According to Martin Scorsese, when Roger Corman hired him to direct "Boxcar Bertha" (1972), he gave Scorsese the script and said, "Read the script, rewrite as much as you want, but remember, Marty, that you must have some n*d!ty at least every fifteen pages. Not complete n*d!ty, maybe a little off the shoulder, or some leg, just to keep the audience interest up.’" When Roger Corman was asked about it, he answered jokingly, "That's close, I think. The statement is almost correct. Needless to say we talked a little bit more than that and I didn't say every 15 pages. I think I said two or three times in the picture. [Laughs again.] He, possibly on his own decided to do it every 15 pages, but I don't particularly remember saying that. He may be remembering the film being a little racier than it was. I think there was only n*d!ty in there two or three times." ("Scorsese on Scorsese", Edited by David Thompson and Ian Christie, 1989 & Roger Corman's interview with Andrew Rausch, Images Journal) P.S: On this day, 54 years ago, "Boxcar Bertha" (1972) premiered in Camden, Arkansas, USA.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was released in the US 36 years ago today. It was the second highest-grossing film of 1991, and Alan Rickman won a BAFTA for his role as the Sheriff of Nottingham. Here he is speaking at the premiere.

Billy Wilder explains how the commercial failure of "Ace in the Hole" (1951) changed his view about the audience: "Wilder: 'Ace in the Hole' (1951) was a very peculiar thing. I was very fond of the picture—I got wonderful, wonderful reactions to it from more serious people. But for some reason or other, people did not want to see that grim a picture, that boasted the guy in the hole there, and the reporter, Mr. Kirk Douglas. It was very somber. It was one of my most somber pictures. And they did not believe me that when somebody’s a newspaperman, they are capable of that behavior. Interviewer: Very much ahead of its time. Wilder: [Shrugs.] Yeah. Interviewer: In this current age of tabloid culture, 'Ace in the Hole' has never felt more up-to-the-minute. Is it amusing to you, how this film has held up? Wilder: Yeah, that’s very funny, I must say. It was a complete failure. It was just... I don’t know. I just changed my mind about the audience. I just think that if you do something very fine, that they will get to the core of the thing, what it’s about, what it’s really about. But they never, at the time, they never gave it a chance. Somebody in an editorial, I think, in Life magazine said that “Mr. Wilder should be deported.” I felt that I was not with it anymore. That I wrote against the audience, the people who paid, in those days, a dollar fifty, two dollars. They felt robbed. They wanted to be entertained, entertained in a serious way, but not too serious a way. I don’t know. Then again, they did go for 'Double Indemnity' (1944). You can never, never, never predict an audience’s reaction. You never know how it’s going to affect them. But I hear about 'Ace in the Hole' quite a bit these days." ("Conversations with Wilder", Cameron Crowe, 1999) P.S: On this day, 75 years ago, "Ace in the Hole" (1951) premiered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.

30 years later and "Clear and Present Danger" remains unmatched. No capeshit. No quips. Just Ford in glasses, moral clarity, and explosions that actually meant something. This is what competence porn looked like before we got addicted to slop. 🎬📺 Clear And Present Danger🔥
