A Decade of Delights

With this post (No. 413), we mark the tenth anniversary of The New Yorker. Since I began A New Yorker State of Mind in March 2015, I’ve attempted to give you at least a sense of what the magazine was like in those first years, as well as the historical events that often informed its editorial content as well as its famed cartoons. Those times also informed the advertisements; indeed, in some…

Cliffs of Doneen-Howard Baer Celtic Mystique The wood took a deep breath, releasing it slowly, meditatively. The leaves danced around them, the antics of children under their parents watchful eyes. Another cycle was coming to its melancholy close. Barren trees watching their children, clad in orange dresses and red suits, flit away to see the world.

Max Baer and Primo Carnera meet in the ring in MGM's The Prizefighter and the Lady (1933) with Larry McGrath as the referee. After his 1933 MGM contract expired, Howard Hawks was happy to return to Columbia Pictures to make his first comedy masterpiece, Twentieth Century. He would never work at MGM again.

Kirk Douglas and Dewey Martin in The Big Sky (Howard Hawks, 1952) Cast: Kirk Douglas, Dewey Martin, Elizabeth Threatt, Arthur Hunnicutt, Buddy Baer, Steven Geray, Henri Letondal, Hank Worden. Jim Davis. Screenplay: Dudley Nichols, Ray Buffum, DeVallon Scott, based on a novel by A.B. Guthrie Jr. Cinematography: Russell Harlan. Art direction: Albert S. D'Agostino, Perry Ferguson. Film editing: Christian Nyby. Music: Dimitri Tiomkin. The Big Sky is a good Henry Hathaway or Budd Boetticher movie, except that it was made by Howard Hawks, from whom we have come to expect more. Hawks had just passed through one of the peak periods of his long career, with the sterling achievement of To Have and Have Not (1944), The Big Sleep (1946), and Red River (1948), and he was to return to form in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) and Rio Bravo (1959). But The Big Sky looks like a routine Western adventure in that company, even though it has some old Hawksian hands on board in screenwriter Dudley Nichols, cinematographer Russell Harlan, and composer Dimitri Tiomkin. It has the director's characteristic touches in places: overlapping dialogue and the usual male-bonding moments. Some of the latter, especially between Kirk Douglas's Jim Deakins and Dewey Martin's Boone Caudill, verge on the homoerotic, since Boone is given to wearing tight leather pants and both go around with their shirts flared open, making one scene look like it's taking place in a West Hollywood bar and not a St. Louis saloon. The absence of the usual "Hawksian woman," able to return wisecrack for wisecrack, is particularly noticeable. The only woman in the large cast is Elizabeth Threatt, playing an Indian woman named Teal Eye, who doesn't speak English. This was the only film appearance for Threatt, a model Hawks had spotted in a photograph. Her chief function in the film is to provide sexual tension among the members of a crew of fur traders making their way up the Missouri River and to spark a bit of rivalry between Jim and Boone. Teal Eye has been brought along on the expedition by Zeb Calloway (Arthur Hunnicutt) to act as a go-between with the Blackfoot tribe, to which she belongs. Also along for the journey is a somewhat addled Blackfoot known as Poordevil, played by Hank Worden, a regular member of John Ford's stock company who sometimes moonlighted for Hawks. The journey is interrupted by Indian attacks, river rapids, and the threats from a rival trading company, in scenes that are staged and shot well but never provide more than the routine excitement of the genre. Hunnicutt and Harlan received Oscar nominations for their work.

A little charmer of a movie starring the ever-watchable Kevin Kline. I’ll admit I’m pretty old-fashioned and, even in today’s evil world, I cling to the hope there are still good-hearted people out there somewhere. This is one of those movies keeping that hope alive. Let the soft side of you out and enjoy this film.

[ad_1] We love ghost tales. Ever heard this one? For Halloween, we requested actual property professionals to share their creepiest tales from their time working within the discipline. And based mostly on what we obtained ... nicely, let's simply say your purchasers might not need to know what’s lurking on the market within the housing market—at the least till All Hallows’ Eve has handed. However these actual property tales of terror might be enjoyable to share with colleagues, family and friends on this spooky day. “I all the time make a behavior of knocking or ringing the doorbell, even when the home is vacant. My purchasers and I had been standing on the porch as I rang the doorbell of a vacant home, and all of us distinctly heard “Who's it?” in a gruff little previous woman’s voice. All of us checked out one another. I requested in the event that they heard it, they usually nodded their heads up and down. We went in and checked out the home (and all of the closets) however discovered nobody. We didn’t make a suggestion, evidently.” —Barry Lengthy, EverStar Realty, Kennewick, Wash. “Years in the past, I had an inventory that the vendor mentioned was haunted by a younger boy. When my article got here out within the newspaper for commercial of the brand new itemizing, there was a younger, darkish determine of a boy standing within the doorway within the image.” —Julie Beltran, Premier Actual Property, Tulare, Calif. “I had a shopper a pair years in the past who was eccentric, to say the least. Each time I confirmed him a home and we received to the basement, he would make a remark about what number of our bodies he may disguise in it. Fairly good man, although.” —Chase Adams, 1st Charge Realty, LLC, Franklin, Pa. “I used to be displaying a house this previous spring and as we had been coming down from the walk-up attic, the door slammed in my face. I pretended that it was no massive deal, however I used to be immediately unsettled and couldn’t wait to go away.” —Jane Johnson, Howard Hanna Actual Property Companies, Jackson, Mich. “An agent I do know had an inventory whose proprietor saved taking it off the market (then again on, then off once more) as a result of, she claimed, the ghost of her deceased husband was telling her to take action.” —Sara Minshull, Redfin, Aliquippa, Pa. “I used to be displaying a house constructed within the 1800s. The kitchen was truly positioned within the basement. Once I went to get the lockbox key, my shopper instructed me that the door to the basement/kitchen was unlocked, so we went forward and went in that method. We pulled the door closed behind us however didn’t contact any locking mechanisms. We proceeded to preview the house. We determined to exit the identical method we got here in, however after we went to open the door, it was locked. That creeped us all out, so we ran upstairs and thankfully had been in a position to get out of the again door.” —Beth Baldwin, GRI, ABR, Virginia Capital Realty, Richmond, Va. “I confirmed a home as soon as, and the one issues in the home had been two bins in a bed room closet — every field containing the ashes of the house owners. Fairly creepy.” —Caroline Blankfort, William Raveis Baer & McIntosh, Nyack, N.Y. [ad_2]
