Making Montgomery Clift
Self
Montgomery Clift siempre se negó a entrar en el juego de los estudios. No firmó ni un contrato, abandonó "El crepúsculo de los dioses" antes de comenzar el rodaje y entre las películas que rechazó están "El puente sobre el río Kwai", "Al este del Edén" o "La ley del silencio". Dado que su talento era tan deslumbrante como su belleza, Hollywood aceptó sus condiciones. Montgomery Clift rompió convenciones dentro y fuera de la pantalla, pero innumerables biografías se limitaron a etiquetarlo como “trágicamente autodestructivo” o “atormentado”. Su sobrino Robert Clift vuelve con rigor sobre estas narraciones incorrectas. Con una magnífica selección de vídeos antiguos, entrevistas, y una colección de archivos inéditos de Monty y su hermano, Brooks Clift, desmonta esa psicología barata que redujo una vida y una carrera extraordinarias a un mero cliché freudiano. En las imágenes de Monty en su tiempo libre, su alegría y exuberancia iluminan la pantalla…
The True Adventures of Raoul Walsh
Self
This is the first feature-length documentary on legendary director Raoul Walsh. In this 'memoir,' Walsh 'recounts' his career from the silent film era to the tumultuous 1960s. The documentary makes stunning use of rare, personal and production photos and footage, revealing Walsh's extraordinary, adventurous life on and off the set. From his apprenticeship with D.W. Griffith to his discovery of John Wayne and Rock Hudson, from the innovative 'The Thief of Bagdad' (1924) to the widescreen 'The Big Trail' (1930), from his classic work with Cagney, Bogart and Flynn to his mastery of every genre (musicals, comedies, Westerns, gangster, war), Walsh made Hollywood history. His life is nothing less than the story of Hollywood itself. Here's a full-bodied account of one of Hollywood's greatest legends.
