Some Like It Hot (1959); AFI #22

The current movie under review is the romantic comedy that is occasionally interrupted by a violent gangster film, Some Like It Hot (1959). Directed by Billy Wilder, this films stars Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Marylin Monroe. The movie was nominated for 5 Academy Awards including Best Director and Best Actor, but ended up with only one trophy for Costume Design. It faired much better at the Golden Globes where it took home wins for Best Actor for Jack Lemmon, Best Actress for Marylin Monroe, and Best Picture - Musical or Comedy. This film is an interesting one as far as plot and tone since it incorporates a Chicago mafia massacre with men cross dressing. It points out how women have to deal with constant excepted sexism followed by a cross dressing Jack Lemmon forgetting to allow his sugar daddy to lead when they salsa. I really enjoy Billy Wilder films, especially with a great cast, because he takes scenes that should not go together and weaves them around a plot and it generally comes out amazing. Lets me do the plot summary and you will see what I mean:

SPOILER ALERT!!! NOT AS BAD AS NORMAL BUT THIS STILL GIVES A LOT AWAY SO CHECK OUT THE MOVIE FIRST!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The movie starts in Prohibition Era Chicago, specifically in February 1929. Some members of the mafia have a secret speaking easy that is fronted by a funeral parlor. Somebody rats them out to the police and the place gets raided. During the raid, we are introduced to Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) who play in the band. They see the police coming and run away which means they don’t get paid and need to find another gig.

Joe tricks a secretary that is sweet on him into using her car and they have to go to a garage to pick up. Wrong place and wrong time. They walk in on the mobsters killing the guy that ratted them out and are witnesses. They need to get out of Chicago and hide or they will be assassinated. The killing is based on the Valentine’s Day Massacre and it is in all the papers. Joe and Jerry take a job with an all women’s band since the group is going on the train to perform in Florida. This means that they will have to dress as women to blend in.

Once on board the train, Joe and Jerry (now going by Josephine and Daphne) mingle with all the pretty girls and both take a liking to a particular ukulele player named Sugar Kane (Marylin Monroe). It turns out that she drinks and has issues with her family as well as having problems with men always using her for her body. The guys need to stay in character and not get fired so they behave until they get to their hotel in Miami.

Once there, Joe and Jerry try to make moves on Sugar, however, Joe is the winner when he shows up at the beach dressed like a millionaire and claims he is the heir to Shell Oil. Jerry, on the hand, runs into an actual millionaire named Osgood Fielding III who has a yacht called the New Caledonia. Jerry keeps the millionaire busy dancing all night while Joe takes Sugar over to the empty yacht and sleeps with her.

The next day, it turns out that the mobsters that are looking for Joe and Jerry are at the hotel for a “Friends of Italian Opera” convention. It turns out to be a meeting place for a national crime syndicate and the protagonists need to flee. The bigger syndicate murder the mobsters that want to kill Joe and Jerry...but once again the two witness the assassination and are desperate to escape. Jerry calls his millionaire “boyfriend” and Osgood picks up Joe, Jerry, and Sugar to help them escape on his yacht. As they leave, Jerry reveals that he is actually a man and instead of rejecting him, Osgood simply says “Nobody’s perfect.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Watching this film and knowing the history of Marylin Monroe makes me a little sad because she comes across as the this vivacious (but a little dumb) powerhouse but was actually drunk, out of her mind on barbiturates, pregnant with a stillborn, and deeply depressed. She is some kind of actress to have her screen presence mismatch her actual feelings so greatly. This is one of the few movies that I wish I knew a little less because I spent a lot of time while she was on screen trying to tell if she was lucid or not (hint: if you look close, you can tell that she wasn’t).

This film is actually a remake of a 1935 French comedy, which explains some of random situations, and I have to director Billy Wilder because American audiences have generally had difficulty with French comedy. People in the US don’t tend to mix their serious violence into their comic set pieces, but Wilder made it work. If you think about it, there were a lot of comic chase scenes in which men who have just demonstrated their ability to commit cold blooded murder are running after a couple of men in drag. We shouldn’t laugh at a woman with such an alcohol problem that she can’t hold a job and is too stupid to even be able to hide it better. And yet I found myself smiling through the whole movie.

My favorite thing about this film is actually Jack Lemmon. This is the earliest film of his that I have seen and I think he is fantastic. One of my very favorite actors, his work in this film and The Apartment (1960) made me a fan for life. He is actually third billed in Some Like It Hot, but I feel like he steals the show.

This film flew right in the face of the Hays Code, since it showed two on-screen group assassinations, a busty Marilyn Monroe barely staying in her clothes, a one night stand in which a man tricks a helpless woman, homosexual undertones, and featured cross dressing. A film with all these aspects should not have existed in America under the code, but this one was nominated for five Academy Awards. None of these things seem like that big of a deal anymore, and the film laughably made the BFI list for Films for Children Up to the Age of 14. It’s now though of as a good kids movie.

Marilyn Monroe exudes confidence and sexuality in her role despite all of her problems. She also is kind of a hero for many in that she embodies that curvy women can be knockouts when they express that confidence. She never had a flat stomach and was quite overweight due to her pregnancy. She had measurements of 36-22-36 but was only 5′5″ meaning she was very chesty with very wide hips. She was quite the opposite of other beauties like Twiggy, Kate Moss, or Olivia Newton-John, and for this Marilyn basically stands alone. She was one-of-a-kind and I wish she would have had a happier life.

So does this film belong on the AFI top 100? Absolutely. It is nothing but star power in a crazy movie that helped take down the Hays Code and won a bunch of awards in the attempt. It is a great piece of Americana that deserves to be scene. Would I recommend it? Yes and I would say it is best enjoyed without doing any research beforehand. It is quite the ride in that so many things happen to the point that you wonder if it will end well for all the characters. That is the work of Billy Wilder and it is well worth watching.

The 10 best last lines - in pictures Philip French - Sat 28 Jan 2012 19.05 EST

Casablanca (Michael Curtiz, 1942) “Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” Said by liberal nightclub owner Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) to collaborationist police chief (Claude Rains) as they quit vanquished Morocco to join the Free French army in West Africa. In a script as quotable as Hamlet, this witty, sophisticated line captures the pervasive tone of the movie’s patriotic response to the conflicting wartime demands of love and duty. The film lists three screenwriters, but this scene was written and directed by its producer Hal B Wallis on an empty, fog-filled set

Gone With the Wind (Victor Fleming, 1939) “I’ll go home and I’ll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day!” This is the optimistic reaction of the determined southern belle Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh) when a terminally exasperated Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) walks out on her with the parting shot “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn”. Virtually the same as the last words of Margaret Mitchell’s 1936 bestseller, but the novel doesn’t have a glorious Technicolor sunset, William Cameron Menzies as production designer, or Max Steiner’s “Tara’s Theme”

10 best last lines: Gone With the Wind Some Like It Hot (Billy Wilder, 1959) “Well, nobody’s perfect!” Spoken by the cheerful, much married millionaire Osgood Fielding III (Joe E Brown) as he steers his motorboat away from a Miami pier. It’s his response when the new love of his life, Daphne (Jack Lemmon in drag), who’s been playing in an all-girls band, doffs her wig and says: “I’m a man!” Wilder was the master of final pay-offs, and the last lines of, for example, Sunset Boulevard (“All right Mr De Mille, I’m ready for my close-up”) and The Apartment (“Shut up and deal”), are classics

King Kong (Ernest Schoedsack, 1933) “Oh no, it wasn’t the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast.” This was the epitaph on the giant ape Kong, shot dead by fighter planes after carrying Fay Wray to the top of the Empire State Building. It’s spoken by Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong), the ruthless film-maker who captured Kong on Skull Island. The 1976 remake, in which Kong is harassed by helicopters atop the World Trade Centre, has no such ending. Peter Jackson’s 2005 version sticks closer to the original, is set during the Depression and features Denham’s last line

The Front Page (Lewis Milestone, 1931) “The son of a bitch stole my watch!” This is the final line of the great 1928 newspaper comedy by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, delivered by the cynical yellow-press editor Walter Burns over the telephone as a message to the police, his ultimate dirty trick to prevent ace reporter Hildy Johnson escaping from his services. In the 1931 film version, Burns (Adolphe Menjou) “accidentally” touches a typewriter key on the word “bitch” to placate the censors. In Billy Wilder’s 1974 film with Walter Matthau as Burns, the line is restored to its full glory

Little Caesar (Mervyn LeRoy, 1931) “Mother of mercy! Is this the end of Rico?” These are the last words of the dying gangster in the Warner Bros film that made a star of Edward G Robinson. In his classic 1948 essay “The Gangster as Tragic Hero”, Robert Warshow writes of Rico speaking of himself in the third person “because what has been brought low is not the undifferentiated man, but the individual with a name, the gangster, the success”. And he mentions that “TS Eliot has pointed out that a number of Shakespeare’s tragic heroes have this trick of looking at themselves dramatically”

The Usual Suspects (Bryan Singer, 1995) “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist. And like that – poof – he’s gone!” Christopher McQuarrie, who won an Oscar for his original screenplay of this brilliantly plotted thriller, gave the line to the film’s singularly unreliable narrator, Verbal Kint (Oscar for Kevin Spacey), while explaining the demonic super criminal Keyser Söze to a police interrogator. It’s repeated as a devastating flashback at the end. The title comes from Captain Renault’s cynical refrain, “Round up the usual suspects,” in Casablanca

Dr Strangelove (Stanley Kubrick, 1964) “Mein Führer, I can walk!” Kubrick and his co-screenwriter Terry Southern created Dr Strangelove, the German-born wheelchair-bound US presidential adviser, a combination of Fritz Lang’s mad scientist Rotwang from Metropolis, Herman Kahn, author of On Thermonuclear War, Henry Kissinger, and Ian Fleming’s Dr No. But it was Peter Sellers who, in addition to playing two other roles, put the character of Strangelove together. He improvised much of his dialogue, including this comically shocking final line that suggests an ultimate triumph of the will

Chinatown (Roman Polanski, 1974) “Forget it, Jake, it’s Chinatown.” One of the most lapidary of concluding sentences, this consoling remark directed by a professional associate at bereft Los Angeles private eye JJ Gittes (Jack Nicholson), is a key line in the movie that revived the film noir and launched neo-noir. It derives from screenwriter Robert Towne’s research into pre-war southern California and from Gittes’s previous experiences as a policeman in the Chinese ghetto. Chinatown is a metaphor for the indecipherability of 1930s Los Angeles and its labyrinthine corruption

The Maltese Falcon (John Huston, 1941) “The stuff that dreams are made of.” It’s the answer private detective Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart) provides when a San Francisco cop (Ward Bond) holds up the fake version of the priceless Maltese Falcon and asks: “It’s heavy, what is it?” Hammett’s novel ends less dramatically. This parting line in his directorial debut, a slight misquotation of Prospero’s final speech in The Tempest, is a comment anticipating the elusive grails that lie beyond the reach of so many Huston characters – eg in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and The Man Who Would Be King

Salvation Army provides housing for culinary students

This post originally appeared on tBL member Burt Polson's blog Real Estate in the Napa Valley and is republished with permission. Find out how to syndicate your content with theBrokerList.

Substance abuse and homelessness are part of our community in the Napa Valley, and The Salvation Army of Napa Valley’s Culinary Training Academy was established to make a difference in the lives of those needing a second chance.

Lack of affordable housing in Napa is a dilemma not easily solved. Losing a job or experiencing tough times that takes away your earnings potential is a reality that touches us all.

The academy is a program that gives someone who has struggled with homelessness and substance abuse the independence, self-sufficiency, confidence, and dignity to pursue a professional job in local hospitality industries.

“Our third class is starting this week with ten students signed up to date, but there is a need to provide housing for the students,” says Executive Chef Paul Fields. “Many students live in the homeless shelter in south Napa, which is some distance from our location,” says Fields.

The academy does offer a handful of beds in a small house owned next door while other students live during the four-month program at Serenity Homes of Napa Valley. Other assistance programs may have a room available, but many students make due and find temporary living arrangements.

“Housing cost is about 30% of the of the program,” says Rick Osgood, advisory board member. “The academy through donations covers all costs for the student, but we are short on housing,” says Osgood.

Lack of housing is about to change on January 18 at 5:30 pm when the housing task force asks for approval from the planning commission for the addition of a manufactured home on an unused area of the Salvation Army’s Napa headquarters.

The commitment of the community to provide housing to the students during their training is evident in the many who have committed $135,000 in last year’s Hands Across the Valley for the purchase of the house.

Several dignitaries are committed to the program’s success as well as businesses like James Jefferies Architects and Dale James Construction both volunteering their services to see the project through.

To be considered for the academy an applicant must have six months sobriety, have gone through a sobriety program and be tested before starting.

In 2016 the academy was launched with the first two sessions in 2017. From the inaugural class of eight students, five continue to work in the restaurant industry in the Napa Valley.

The second class had eight students, seven are working today, and one is continuing her education in the culinary field.

You will find several students currently working at The Meritage Resort and Spa, Silverado Country Club, Embassy Suites by Hilton Napa Valley and the Archer Hotel Napa.

I am excited to have recently been voted on the advisory board of the Napa Salvation Army corp. The organization in my mind has always been a place offering a meal, groceries, clothing, a bed, a hug, and a prayer. Now I can help and be a part of the impact the Salvation Army is making in the lives of our community.

Football Fans remember Rodney Marsh

Rodney Marsh – Your memories of the English Soccer Legend:

Did you watch Rodney play, or go to school with him, or meet him after his playing days?

Let us know your stories and personal memories by adding a comment at the bottom of the page.

Steve Dickinson wrote:

I started supporting QPR in the 1960s as an 11 year old just as they were winning the League Cup and gaining promotion from the 3rd division.

I have 3 outstanding memories of the man on the field:

Vs West Ham It was Rod’s first game in Div 1 (he had still been injured from the end of the previous promotion season), and West Ham played a very skillful game on a typical QPR mudbath (as the pitch was then), and Rodney touched the ball 3 times – a curling shot that hit the post; a disallowed goal, and a mazy run through the slime that left everyone floundering – I felt there should be more; but the papers screamed about his return and how QPR would soon now climb the table (we didn’t !!)

Vs Birmingham (around 1972) This game was on TV and Terry Venables was now at the club orchastrating midfield – Rodney scored the best Hat-trick I have ever seen, with 3 completely different goals that ripped Birmingham apart in a 5-2 win (although I read in one of his books that he thought his hat-trick against Blackpool was better)

Vs Fulham away I am stood in Craven Cottage listening to all the Fulham Fans chanting ‘Rodney is a Fairy’ (this was the normal away fan’s chant), and the singing is deafening. The whistle can just be heard to start the game, and Keith Sanderson gives the ball to Rodney from the kick-off – he traps the ball, reverses it, spins and shoots – a la Pele and Beckham – sure enough the keeper is on the penalty spot and didn’t start moving till way too late – the ball just missed the post!! The ground fell into absolute silence, until 500 isolated voices began ‘Rodneeeeeee, Rodneeeeee’

Great days

Bill Stapleton wrote:

I live in Bradenton Florida, just down the road from Tampa, where I understand Rodney lives. I would love to meet up with him!

I grew up in West Kensington and used to walk to Craven Cottage to see Fulham when Rod was playing. I remember him getting kicked for that injury and I have a theory about that and his play. It was reported that he had ballroom dancing lessons to help him regain his balance. I have always wondered if that contributed to his amazing balance for the rest of his career.

I love magic players, who have that something that makes your eyes pop out as you say “How did he do that?” Rodney had that magic. Just one goal that I will never forget typifies what he was all about. Fulham v Nottingham Forest. Forest take a corner. The ball is cleared to Johnny Haynes of the edge of the box. He swings a long ball out to the left where Rodney is on the halfway line. He sets off down the left wing. (He’s not the quickest). Team mates sprint up the field to support him in the centre and on the right. Rodney beats one, two maybe three, like in slow motion – (How does he do that?!) and is now just inside the Forest box on the left.

The whole crowd is screaming, “Pass!” Rodney beats yet another, then curls an exquisite ball up and over Peter Grummitt, one of the best goalies in England at the time, into the far top corner.

Rodney simply lived in a different time continuum from the rest of us ordinary mortals. Not only did he bamboozle countless defenders, but he left countless spectators with their mouths hanging open, wondering how he did what he did.

John Lines wrote:

I must be one of only a handful of people that remember Rodney playing in goal. It was in a first division match at Craven Cottage in the early 1960’s.

The match was against Northampton Town and early on, Fulham keeper Tony Macedo was knocked out and suffered a broken jaw. Rodders took the jersey as there were no subs in those days. I was standing right behind the goal and remember the look on his face when picking the ball out of the net…. 4 times I think!

Pat Larkin wrote:

I played with the 2nd Team for the ROWDIES (after being recruited from the St. Pete Kickers) with Rodney Marsh back in ’78 & ’79? I can remember watching him from the sidelines & right in front of the bench, he nutmegged a defender twice while dribbling & “teasing” the guy with his dribbling skills for at least 2 minutes (it may have been a game against the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers or NY Cosmos?)….and this poor defender did not get any defensive support from his mates.

Cat & mouse game went on with Rodney just “schooling this kid”. The kid was determined to steal the ball from this old guy and Rodney turned his back to the defender, left the ball and sprinted about 10 yards to his left….with the defender following Rodney and both leaving the ball behind. Rondey then casually jogs back to the ball with the Red Faced Defender behind him just shaking his head…classic exhibition as to why he truly was the “Clown Prince of Soccer”…and as a very young American playing a game we really could only dream of playing like our friends from overseas….I will always cherish the memory!

Loftuslad wrote:

Rodney Marsh was QPR’s first superstar. With him, an unheard of team in the third division beat a first division side in the League Cup Final (when that cup really meant something!) and was the prime mover in taking them from third to First division.

He was also one of the first ‘Mavericks’ who did it their way. He claimed “QPR will ALWAYS be my team, not Man City or Fulham.” After him came ‘mavericks’ like Stan Bowles, Tony Currie, Peter Osgood, Alan Hudson, Charlie George and Frank Worthinhton. But he was a free spirit and could not play in the negative systems of England (The others couldn’t either.)

He was one of the leading lights in the Americas NASL and played on equal terms with George Best at Fulham. But he will always be related to QPR and there was uproar when he left.

It’s a shame there was less media around then, so clips are sparse with all these guys.

Maybe some people are put off him by his pundit work and comments recently but as a footballer, he will always be a genius and always be QPR!!

geniusmarsh wrote:

Rodney Marsh and Stan Bowles are by far the greatest players we have ever had at QPR. I saw Stan play hundreds of times for Rangers and Brentford, he was like a God.

Stan was more of a team player than Rod. But Rod started QPR as an entertaining team to watch, the first superstar. I have seen some polls that vote Stan with 90% and Rod with 10% that’s a joke, there was not much between them.

The difference is Stan is OURS!

He’s only thought of as a Rangers man while Rod is Man City and Fulham, who all claim him, but Stan walks down South Africa Road with everyone else and goes to the local after.

Rodney would never be seen doing that, he is not accessible to fans, and the stuff with Gerry Francis didn’t help.

I would like to have seen Rod, Stan and Tony Currie at their peaks all playing for QPR at the same time.

Rodney was like Gazza (who I have also seen) he would do sod all for 80mins, you would forget he was playing, but a flash of genius would turn the game round.

But Rodney and Stan gave us entertainment, moneys worth, a laugh, on field jokes and jaw dropping flashes of tricks, skill and pure genius, so did Currie and so did Best.

We will never see their like again.

Chris Barnes wrote:

I remember Rodney playing for QPR vs Leyton Orient one Good Friday in the early 70’s. Being an O’s fan I was in awe of Rodney who single handedly destroyed a great Orient defence without scoring.

QPR got a penalty, the man himself missed it & the O’s inexplicably went on to win 2-0. With ironic cries of Rodney, Rodney, Rodney one of the great miscarriages of justice had happened before my eyes.

Although we had won I had witnessed one of the most impressive displays I had ever seen from an English player. Rodney was too good to play for England as was Stan Bowles, Tony Currie, Glen Hoddle & Duncan MacKenzie.

What price those guys now when 80% of the Premier League players can’t speak English & don’t care if their clubs live or die! Rodney, thanks for the memory!

Grew up in London (Clapham) during the seventies, and my Da, a mad Scot would die for Fulham – he started to take me to Craven Cottage from the age of 9 onwards – which was around the time Marsh, along with George Best and Bobby Moore played for us.

My ma, a quiet and thoughtful nurse who came over from the West Indies in the mid fifties thought seeing Fulham would ‘corrupt’ me, and turn me into a hooligan. In fact it did the exact opposite – realised the trio were in the ‘autumn’ of their career, and the circus acts at Craven Cottage (especially a game against Hereford – or was it Hull when they won 4-1) were usually embarrassing.

Could see most of the fans loving it, with Best taking the ball off Marsh, and vice versa a couple of seconds later…but there were also many who realised this wasn’t going to last for long.

It was around 1977 (or thereabouts) when I followed cricket – England, that is as an antidote to the depression!

I MET RODNEY MARSH, TERRY VENABLES, & TONY HAZELL WHEN THEY PLAYED FOR QPR. THEY WERE PLAYING AT CHARLTON ATHLETIC AND I HAD GONE TO THE SUPPORTERS LOUNGE AFTER THE GAME. I WAS SAT AT A TABLE ON MY OWN AND THE THREE PLAYERS ASKED IF I MINDED IF THEY JOINED ME. I WAS THRILLED TO BITS!

AT THE TIME I WAS 23YRS OLD & VERY OVERWEIGHT. HOWEVER, RODNEY BEING RODNEY THOUGHT OTHERWISE, AND ASKED ME WHEN THE ‘HAPPY EVENT’ WAS DUE! I JUST LAUGHED AND SAID “ITS ALL ME, I’M AFRAID RODNEY!” HE APOLOGISED AND WE ALL HAD A GOOD LAUGH ABOUT IT, I WAS NOT OFFENDED AT ALL.

THEY ASKED ME IF I WOULD GO AND SEE THEM PLAY AT LOFTUS ROAD, AS AT THE TIME I WAS WORKING IN A HOSPITAL IN FULHAM ROAD & HAD SAID I WATCHED CHELSEA WHEN CHARLTON WERE AWAY. SADLY I DIDN’T GO, I WAS TOO NERVOUS, AND DIDN’T THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THEY WOULD REMEMBER ME.

I CERTAINLY HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN THEM, THEY WERE GREAT COMPANY & I WAS DELIGHTED TO HAVE MET THEM. I DIDN’T HAVE CHILDREN OF MY OWN, SO I HAVE NO ONE TO PASS THE STORY DOWN TOO. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO MEET RODNEY AGAIN. BUT I DOUBT HE WILL BE AT WEMBLEY NEXT WEEK WHEN GRIMSBY TOWN PLAY M K DONS AT WEMBLEY.

Back in the late 70’s, Rodney Marsh WAS Tampa Bay sports. He helped put Tampa on the sports map. Our football team (Buccaneers) was horrible and the Rowdies did one thing….WIN!!!

During World Cup ’94 I would chat with Rodney every Friday evening before his flight departed Tampa for Atlanta to do his gig with CNN for the cup.

My greatest memory of Sir Rodney has to be the first Rowdie game I attended, the 1978 Conference Championship with 38,000 watching(in a driving rainstorm). Rodney scored the winning goal in a shootout as the Rowdies beat the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers and advanced to Soccer Bowl ’78. Thanks for the memories Rodney!!

I find it surprising that the memories posted on this website of Rod are all from Tampa fans, with the exception of one QPR fan. Rod was a real genius and I saw him play many times for Man City in the early-mid 70’s…and also a few years later when he was with Fulham.

Despite what some people say, Rod was a massive hero at City and was adored and idolised by the fans……..

My memories of Rodney are just too many and too wonderful to recount, but suffice it to say he was just so entertaining and gifted and brilliant to watch.

He scored some amazing goals at City…..but his all round passing, dribbling and attacking ability was breath taking. I truly believe that Rod was the most gifted player I have ever seen, and although he was not the quickest, he more than made up for it with his vision, brilliant ball control and the way he read the game…he had a fantastic footballing brain.

What a joke that he only won 9 England caps….

Thanks Rod…we loved you (and still do) at City.

Sean Forrester wrote:

I worked with Rodney during his time in the media. During my career, I have worked with a number of former footballer, who have played in and won medals in World and European Cups, Champions League, Division 1, Premiership etc etc.

The vast majority of the ex-pros are happy to indulge in stories of their past glories and are rightly proud of them too.

However, in all my life, I’ve never met a player who had such a sub-standard career and banged on about it so much.

Marsh is an arrogant, psuedo intellectual tit and a more self gratified and plain wierd individual. I for one am relived to have him off our screens

Charles Rivers wrote:

I live in Tampa Florida (U.S.A.) I grew up in the 70’s and the Tampa Bay Rowdies were of course my favourite soccer team. My grandmother is from Kent, England and she taught me all about “football” as you call it.

Anyway, I was walking through Tampa Stadium one day prior to a night game for the Rowdies

when out from the locker area comes Rodney.

It wasn’t uncommon for him to come walk around and talk to people. I was 6 years old and he lifted me up and asked me my name. I told him Charles and he told me it was a Kings name.

He was very kind. A while later Rodney decided to retire and they had his “memorial game” at Tampa Stadium….when my mom purchased the program for the game we opened it up and inside was a picture of the day Rodney had picked me up. I have it still. I was wearing a green striped Interbay United shirt and my team name was Manchester City at the time.

Somehow my parents got in touch with him and we all met at his home. The next thing I know my dad bought his daughters’ all white bedroom set for my sister.

So my sister had Rodney Marsh’s daughters room set and I had a picture in his retirement program of us for life.

Thats my story I hope you liked it.

RODNEY MARSH THE LEGEND.

I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE SEEN AND MEET THE MAN HIMSELF. I CAN REMEMBER HIM TURNING A GAME AROUND WITH PURE GENIUS. HE WAS NOT ALWAYS INVOLVED IN THE GAME FROM START TO FINISH, BUT JUST A FLASH OF CLASS WAS ENOUGH TO SEND US ALL HOME AS HAPPY AS LARRY, AND WE KNEW WE WERE THE GREATEST TEAM IN LONDON.

MY AUNTIE AND UNCLE HAD A FRAMED PICTURE OF RODNEY ON THEIR WALL, AND IF SOMEONE DARED SWEAR IN THAT ROOM THEY HAD TO APPOLIGISE TO RODNEY, (HOW DARE THEY SWEAR IN THE PRESENT OF A SPORTING GOD).

YEARS LATER I DROVE FROM LONDON TO STOCKPORT TO A CHARITY GOLF EVENT TO SEE THE GREAT MAN HIMSELF.

AS I DROVE INTO THE COURSE I SPOTTED RODNEY, I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND AS SOON AS HE SAW THE QPR TOP IN MY HANDS HE STOPPPED PLAYING AND SIGNED MY TOP, WHICH IS NOW MY MOST PRIZED POSSESSION.

RODNEY WAS AND IS STILL A LEGEND I MY EYES.

I had the pleasure of watching Rodney Marsh play for the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the North American Soccer League for four great years. He came to the team for the 1976 season after the team had won the NASL Cup the year before. The team made it to the final two more times with him as the captain, but failed to win another championship. He was a very popular player during his time in Tampa and is remembered well here in the community to this day.

I still remember a match at Tampa Stadium when he dropped his shorts, that had ripped, as a trainer held two towels in front and rear only to have the rear towel fall to expose a full Rodney moon. The article in the local newspaper the next day had the photo with the headline “Footloose and Fannie Free”.

Mike Davis wrote:

During the late 70s, Rodney Marsh almost single-handedly made football, or soccer as we call it, a tremendously popular sport in Tampa.

He became the most popular sports figure in the city….even bigger than american football players. He was dashing, handsome and most of all great to watch play the game…. wonderfully entertaining.

He produced on the field, scoring many beautiful goals and assists, and was the centerpiece of the very successful Tampa Bay Rowdies. Even though it has been many years now since those days, he is still very fondly remembered in Tampa.

Joby Canoby wrote:

Though it was american NASL soccer, it was all we had in Tampa Bay. Watching Rodney Marsh at the age of 18-20 was amazing. For instance:

1)Seeing him go to his knees with the ball in homage to Pele against the Cosmos. 2)Watching him always take the final and usually game winning penalty kicks 3)Following him with binoculars, and seeing what opposing teams enforcers did to him to try and stop him from dominating games. (it never stopped him by the way and most of it wasn’t very sportsmanlike) 4)Joining with the other 45,000 fans screaming his name in unison after he won yet another game for us.

Frosty wrote:

Tampa Bay Rowdies – While playing with the Rowdies, Rodney provided much excitement and talent. He made others around him better and as a result allowed Fabbiani lead the NASL in scoring.

On national tv against the N.Y. Cosmos Rodney put on/displayed perhaps one of his best performances against the likes of none other than Pele, Beckenbauer, Chinaglia, Alberto. We won the highly anticipated match.

Rodney matched with Derek Smethurst was a deadly combination for any defense to go against……

John Rolfe: wrote:

Rodney Marsh – Memories

Vivid memories of Rodney sitting on the ball in the penalty area of teams like Watford and Swindon when two or three goals up: once the game was won he preferred to entertain than to go for goal all the time.

One dummy, when he was stationary, caused his opponent to jump up and land on his back in an attempt to block the ball which Rodney had not kicked.

Seeing him set up chances for Mick Leach and watch how he got on.

Watching him trip on his own feet and win penalties.

Watching him (at 4-0 with 2 goals himself already) prepare to take a penalty and walk back, and keep walking on with the crowd cheering until he reached the centre circle, running back with the crowd baying, feinting, stopping in his tracks just short of the penalty spot, watching the goalie tumble involuntarily to his right while Rodney, with a smile on his face, rolled the ball slowly to his left.

Watching from behind the Bristol Rovers goal as he struck a late League Cup equaliser by bending the ball hugely around the wall; this was in the days when they played with proper footballs of the type that only Marsh, Bowles and Rivelino could bend.

Great memories. QPR players smiled and laughed a lot during the games…

Book Review of “Indigenous People and the Criminal Justice System: A Practitioner’s Handbook”

“Indigenous People and the Criminal Justice System: A practitioner’s Handbook” by Jonathan Rudin is a comprehensive guide to the challenges and considerations that arise from working with Indigenous persons in the criminal law context. Jonathan Rudin graduated from Osgoode Hall in 1977. Since then, he has been deeply involved in the advancement of the justice system as it relates to Indigenous persons. He was involved in the landmark cases Gladue 1 and Ipeelee 2, played a crucial role in the establishment of a Gladue (Aboriginal persons) Court in Toronto and has greatly influenced the creation and development of Gladue reports. Since 1990, Jonathon Rudin has carried on his work as Program Director of Aboriginal Legal Services in Toronto. A much more detailed account of his achievements can be found in the Foreword of the Handbook, written by Justice Harry S LaForme. The editors, Brian H Greenspan and Justice Vincenzo Rondinelli, are highly respected experts in the criminal law field, both having accumulated many accolades of their own. Each of the individuals who came together to produce this book has had decades of experience with Indigenous persons and the Canadian justice system.

It is an indisputable fact that Canada’s Indigenous peoples have had a difficult and largely negative relationship with the nation’s justice system. These difficulties have manifested themselves in many ways, not the least of which is the severe over-representation of Indigenous persons in Canada’s prisons. This handbook provides readers with the context necessary to understand the challenges that Indigenous persons face when interacting with the justice system, and with the tools to address these challenges in court.

The Handbook provides guidance not just for defence counsel, but for Crown prosecutors and even the judiciary as well. It walks the reader through the considerations that should be taken at relevant stages of proceedings, from inquiring about an individual’s Indigenous identity, to sentencing, and even to possibilities for the expansion of current principles into new areas of law.

Following an introductory chapter, Chapter 2 briefly reviews the thirteen different commissions and inquiries into the problems that have arisen for Indigenous persons in the justice system. The findings of these studies, along with the author’s analysis, provide the reader with a crucial contextual foundation for understanding the subsequent chapters.

The third chapter opens with a discussion of how to ask whether someone is Indigenous. This can be a difficult question, and the Handbook deals with how to pose it clearly and tactfully, in a way that is most likely to elicit a positive response. It also emphasizes the importance of not relying on preconceived notions of what it means to be Indigenous. Terminology associated with various Indigenous groups, such as “Métis” for example, can have different meanings to different people and in different contexts. It is important to bear this mind when formulating a question about how an individual self-identifies. The author then spends some time discussing the importance of understanding cultural differences, such as differing speech mannerisms or practices. These may be misinterpreted or misunderstood by other participants in the justice system, resulting in an Indigenous person’s testimony being found less credible, or accommodation of a cultural practice being refused. Thus, it is important to understand these differences, and educate other participants on them when necessary.

Chapter 4 looks at the most significant jurisprudence relating to Indigenous persons and the justice system. There is a critical analysis of each of the cases and an explanation of its implications on the state of the law. The main focus is on “the Trilogy” of Williams 3, Gladue and Ipeelee, although other relevant cases are also considered. An understanding of these cases, particularly the Trilogy cases, is crucial for defence counsel, prosecutors and judges alike. They fundamentally altered the way in which Indigenous persons’ cases are to be considered by courts. Without an understanding of these cases and what they call for, Indigenous persons cannot be appropriately and effectively represented, prosecuted or judged.

The discussion of those cases segues nicely into discussion of Gladue and sentencing in Chapter 5. The author begins by outlining the principles that arose from Gladue and Ipeelee, and what is necessary to meet the obligations that those cases impose. This requires information, both about the specific life experiences of the person before the court and about the broader experiences of their family and the group or groups from which they draw their origins. How to obtain this information, particularly through a Gladue report, is explained. The author looks in detail at the availability of Gladue reports in each province and territory, including who is responsible for their creation, how they are funded, the approximate number produced in each jurisdiction each year, and how to go about acquiring one. The appendices include a mock Gladue report that is very helpful for demonstrating the type of information that should be sought in such a report and how it should be presented. Discussion then shifts to Gladue factors, the systemic and background factors that help to elucidate the realities faced by an Indigenous person before a court. The author sets out what should be considered as a factor, and then speaks to how these factors should be presented both effectively and with sensitivity to their personal, and often distressing, nature. Finally, the chapter considers come recent jurisprudential and legislative developments, as well as waivers of Gladue considerations.

Chapter 6 considers the application of the Gladue principles in legal contexts other than sentencing. The author addresses the application of Gladue principles to bail proceedings, firearms prohibitions, dangerous offender hearings, military tribunals, review board hearings, parole, civil contempt, extradition hearings, professional discipline and the exercise of prosecutorial discretion. In many of these instances the application of Gladue principles has already begun, while in others it has been resisted. Each instance is the subject of critical and thoughtful analysis by the author. There is also discussion of other areas where the author argues for the application of Gladue principles.

The seventh chapter examines sentencing circles. The advantages and disadvantages of the larger “first wave” and smaller, more focused “second wave” sentencing circles are described, with reference to several cases where such methods were implemented. The author outlines the types of considerations that a court and counsel should take into account when deciding whether to hold a sentencing circle. A major issue that many courts have with sentencing circles is that they take much longer than regular sentencing proceedings. At the end of the chapter, the author argues for out-of-court circles as a way to address this challenge.

The final chapter of the Handbook details the various Indigenous courts across Canada. The author explains what precisely is meant by the term “Indigenous Court”. The definition and history of courts from s. 107 of the Indian Act 4 is also explained. The author then embarks on a summary of existing Indigenous courts by province and territory, from East to West. Indigenous court systems and their respective features are summarized as they exist in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. At the time that the Handbook was written, it is noted that the remaining provinces and territories had not instituted Indigenous courts.

The Handbook serves as an excellent tool, not only for defence counsel, but for anyone in the legal profession who may find themselves working with clients or accused persons that are Indigenous persons. The history of the relationship between the Canadian justice system and Indigenous peoples is both long and complex. However, this Handbook presents the most legally relevant aspects of this history in a way that is both concise and accessible, making it a perfect resource for a busy practitioner seeking a practical, working grasp of the material. The author strikes the perfect balance between historical context and practical advice. The book is well organized, making it easy to find specific information quickly. Especially useful are the Best Practices pages at the end of each chapter, which list all of the recommended practices within the chapter along with the page on which they can be found. Equally useful are the appendices, which are a treasure trove of useful resources including links to numerous primary and secondary sources and a mock Gladue report.

“Indigenous People and the Criminal Justice System: A practitioner’s Handbook” is an excellent resource. Whether one is a defence counsel, a Crown prosecutor, a judge, or even a student looking to pursue a criminal law career in the future, this book provides the tools necessary to understand and work with Indigenous persons effectively and with empathy. It strikes an effective balance between theory and practice, and presents it all in a way that can be quickly understood and applied. For anyone involved in the criminal justice system, regardless of your role, this is one book that you will want to keep on a nearby shelf.

Time continues to pass with accelerated force, while history plants its seeds. Often, we don’t pay attention to the subtle changes making their way into our environment and tend to miss out on marvelous transformations.

With technological advances and world revolutions, many significant sights and cities have undergone drastic redesigns that have enabled them to develop in a modernized world. Discoveries following world wars and new machines have allowed for structures to be rebuilt in efficient ways that help progress societies.

Looking back at the changes can be quite shocking and can even provide you with a new perspective. From developing luxurious high-rises to cutting-edge renovations, the planet has seen vast improvements over time that can be remembered with pride and appreciation. Below are 8 before and after photos of places that have changed significantly from the past.

1. The Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris, France during the 1950s and in 2018. This spot was where famous French artists, like Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the man who made their famous posters, according to The Guardian, frequented before it was accidentally burnt down in 1915. It was later rebuilt and revived as a club for entertainers during the 1920s and on, and hosted icons like Mistinguett, Edith Piaf and Charles Aznavour. Now it primarily serves as a tourist attraction, with extravagant shows filled with bright lights and costumes, that are open to the public.

2. The Tower Bridge in London, England, from 1894 to 2017. This viaduct adjacent to the Tower of London, a historic castle, took 8 years to build and has now become a staple attraction for visitors from around the world. In 2008, the bridge began to undergo what was a four-year-long major renovation project, which included LED lights and a new paint job, says The Telegraph.

3. Mulberry Street, in New York City, USA from 1900 to 2014. This road is located in the centre of Little Italy, in Manhattan and has been a setting to many prominent events through history, as well as Mafia crimes, explains Lonely Planet. The sidewalks are no longer covered with carts and merchants, but with busy patios of popular restaurants.

4. The Great Library in Osgoode Hall, Toronto, Canada from the 19th century to 2018. This space was an addition following renovations to Osgoode Hall in 1929, uniquely meant for the Law Society of Upper Canada, says Blog TO. It contains 120,000 legal volumes and is a private space paid for by lawyers who are members, that opens to the public during regular operating hours. Its layout and furniture style has changed, but it remains one of Toronto’s hidden treasures.

5. Los Angeles City Hall in California, from 1927 to 2018. This building is located in the Civic Center district of downtown Los Angeles and houses the mayor’s office, according to their personal Facebook page. Being located in a prime spot, it has had the chance to be included as the backdrop of many famous movies and shows, such as The Adventures of Superman, War of the Worlds and L.A. Confidential. You can now find it surrounded by palm trees and sports cars.

Wikimedia / Instagram

6. Museum of the City of Lodz, in Łódź, Poland from the 1920’s to 2017. The castle was previously owned by a Polish-Jewish businessman, Izrael Poznański, and served as a personal palace with numerous offices and dining spaces, explains Culture.pl, a Polish historical website. The space now works as a museum honoring architecture and national history.
