Movies for Our Time: 12 Angry Men (1957)

This article is part of the TCM Summer Under the Stars Blogathon hosted by Journeys in Classic Film and Musings of a Classic Film Addict . Click on the links for more great articles about Aug. 1 star Henry Fonda and all of the other 2019 SUTS honorees. This is the first in an occasional series about classic movies that speak to contemporary culture. There's no question we live in an angry age. Log onto social media or turn on the TV and you'll find loads of outrage over politics, sports, fashion, movies, and everything in between. The brilliant 1957 film 12 Angry Men has much to say about the tensions of the 1950s, but the film also profoundly speaks to the often rancorous political, racial, and social divides of our own fragmented culture. 12 Angry Men begins on a hot summer day during a murder trial at a New York City courthouse. A teenager (John Savoca) is accused of stabbing his father to death after a dispute. It appears to be an open and shut case, and 11 o

The Comic Art of Laurel and Hardy

This article is part of the Classic Movie Blog Association's fall blogathon, Laughter Is the Best Medicine. Click here to read more articles from some of the best bloggers in the business. Perhaps no one has brought more laughter to more people than Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. During their three-decade film career, the old Hollywood duo were global superstars. Even today, they have a passionate following of devoted fans, and the images of "the fat one and the thin one" are instantly recognizable to those who have never seen their films. The fact that Laurel and Hardy met, let alone formed classic movies' most enduring and beloved partnership, is one of those miracles of fate that only seemed to happen in old Hollywood. Despite his childlike appearance, Stanley was the oldest of the two by about 1 1/2 years. He was born Arthur Stanley Jefferson on June, 16, 1890, in the Northern English town of Ulverston to a prominent theatrical family (Stanley was always proud

Anatomy of a Scene: The Wedding in The Sound of Music (1965)

This article is part of The Wedding Bells Blogathon hosted by Hometowns to Hollywood. Go here for more great articles on the movies' most memorable nuptials. I've watched The Sound of Music (1965) an embarrassing number of times, but no matter how much I cue up the DVD player, I'm always blown away by the beauty of the wedding scene. It's a wonderful example of the technical skills of old Hollywood's craftspeople, the lilting loveliness of Richard Rodgers' score, and the grandeur of the Austrian Alps. In this article, I'll look at four reasons why this scene works so well, but first here's a little background. Unless you've been living in a cave for the last 55 years, you are aware that The Sound of Music is a musical version of the life story of Maria von Trapp, who is played by Julie Andrews in the film. Maria is a novice nun in Salzburg, although the impetuous young woman would rather take long walks in the Alps than say her pra
