Historia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Michel Michelet (July 14, 1894 – December 28, 1995) was a composer of film scores. Born as Mikhail Isaakovich Levin to a Jewish family in Kiev (then in the Russian Empire), he moved to Western Europe before settling in France where he became a celebrated composer. He worked on many films during the 1930s following the introduction of sound film. Following the Nazi invasion of France in 1940, he emigrated to the United States where he continued to work on Hollywood productions including several film noir. Later he provided scores for some European films in the post-war era. He was nominated twice at the 17th Academy Awards for Best Original Score but did not win.

Acosados
Music
El héroe de guerra desahuciado Chuck Scott consigue trabajo como chofer de un gángster llamado Eddie Roman. Chuck no tardará en conocer a la temerosa mujer de su jefe: entonces su vida se convertirá en una pesadilla. La adaptación más controvertida de un relato de Woolrich entre sus seguidores, The Chase está basada en la novela de 1944 The Black Path of Fear, que era, a su vez, un desarrollo del cuento "Havana Night". El guión fue obra de Philip Yordan, que tenía una tendencia a subvertir, o violar, historias de género (ver por ejemplo su western de la Guerra Fría Johnny Guitar, centrado en personajes femeninos), y el film fue dirigido por Arthur Ripley. Ripley era una rara elección para el caso, ya que había trabajado sólo esporádicamente en los márgenes del sistema de Hollywood, y nunca logró un éxito masivo, aunque su último film, Thunder Road (1958), es todavía hoy un film de culto. No era sorprendente que esta combinación de dos talentos excéntricos produjera un film extraño.
