SCREEN DIRECTOR’S PLAYHOUSE: MISS GRANT TAKES RICHMOND

May 19, 1950

Screen Directors Playhouse was a radio anthology series which brought leading Hollywood actors to the NBC microphones beginning in 1949. The radio program broadcast adaptations of films, and original directors of the films were sometimes involved, although their participation was usually limited to introducing the radio adaptations, and a brief “curtain call” with the cast and host at the end of the program. The series later had a brief run on television. The radio version ran for 122 episodes and aired on NBC from January 9, 1949 to September 28, 1951 under several different titles: NBC Theater, Screen Director’s Guild Assignment, Screen Director’s Assignment and, as of July 1, 1949, Screen Director’s Playhouse.

This radio adaptation of “Miss Grant Takes Richmond” stars Lucille Ball in her original film role of Ellen Grant. It was directed by Bill Cairn, produced by Howard Wiley. Composer and conductor was Robert Armbruster. The script was adapted by Richard Allen Simmons. It aired on NBC radio on May 19, 1950. On February 22, 1951, "The Screen Guild Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie with William Holden reprising his film role.

Miss Grant Takes Richmond is a 1949 comedy film starring Lucille Ball and William Holden, directed by Lloyd Bacon and released by Columbia Pictures. It was released under the title Innocence is Bliss in the UK. Rita Hayworth was going to star in the movie, but Hayworth requested script revisions, and went on suspension to avoid making it.

Synopsis ~ An inept secretary goes to work for a bogus real estate firm thinking it's for real.

Note: The title is a pun on the historical fact that General Ulysses S. Grant ‘took back’ the city of Richmond, Virginia, from the Confederacy, who used it as their capital during the Civil War (April 1865).

CAST

Lucille Ball (Ellen Grant) previously appeared on Screen Directors Playhouse in “Her Husband’s Affairs” (May 22, 1949), a film she had also appeared in on screen. She will return for “A Foreign Affair” (March 1, 1951) in the role originated by Jean Arthur, and “Bachelor Mother” (March 8, 1951), taking the role originated by her friend Ginger Rogers. Miss Grant (1949) was Ball’s 72nd motion picture.

Lucille Ball repeats her film role of Ellen Grant.

Steve Dunne (Dick Richmond) replaced Howard Duff as the voice of the famous private eye in "The Adventures of Sam Spade," the 1946-1951 radio series.

Dunne was in the film version, but he played the minor role of Ralph Winton.

Arthur Q. Bryan (Judge Ben Grant, Ellen’s Uncle) had appeared with Lucille Ball in Look Who’s Laughing (1941). He is best remembered as the original voice of Elmer Fudd in the Warner Brothers cartoons. He played Mr. Chambers, new owner of the Tropicana in “Ricky Loses His Voice” (ILL S2;E9) in 1952.

On screen, the role was played by George Cleveland.

Frank Nelson (Mr. Woodruff) was born on May 6, 1911 (three months before Lucille Ball) in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He started working as a radio announcer at the age of 15. He later appeared on such popular radio shows as “The Great Gildersleeve,” “Burns and Allen,” “Fibber McGee & Molly”. and a dozen episodes of Lucille Ball’s “My Favorite Husband.” On “I Love Lucy” he holds the distinction of being the only actor to play two recurring roles: Freddie Fillmore and Ralph Ramsey, as well as six one-off characters, including the frazzled train conductor in “The Great Train Robbery” (ILL S5;E5), a character he repeated on “The Lucy Show.” Aside from Lucille Ball, Nelson is perhaps most associated with Jack Benny and was a fifteen-year regular on his radio and television programs, often playing store clerks like this one.

On screen, the role was played by Charles Lane, one of the few character actors that appeared as frequently as Nelson with Lucille Ball.

Herb Vigran (Mr. Kilcoyne) occasionally turned up on Lucille Ball’s radio show, “My Favorite Husband” (1948-50) in various roles. He appeared on “I Love Lucy” as Jule, Ricky’s music agent, in “The Saxophone” (ILL S2;E2) and “The Anniversary Present” (ILL S2;E3). He also played Mrs. Trumbull’s nephew Joe in “Never Do Business With Friends” (ILL S2;E31) and Al Sparks in “Lucy is Envious” (ILL S3;E23). He went on to appear on select episodes of “The Lucy Show” and Here’s Lucy.”

On screen, the role was played by Frank McHugh.

Jean Bates (Peggy Donato) was a model before becoming an actress, doing radio, TV and film. She worked from 1943 to 2001.

Norman Field was one of at least six actors to play Judge Hunter on the NBC-Radio soap, “One Man's Family” (1932-50). He played Charlie's school principal on “The Edgar Bergen/Charlie McCarthy Show” (1939-56), Josh Chandler on “Dear John” (1940-44), Uncle George on “Meet Corliss Archer”, Inspector Danton on “Mystery Is My Hobby” (1947-49), and Judge Babson on “The Amazing Mr. Tutt” (1948).

Jimmy Wallington (Announcer)

Lloyd Bacon (Original Film Director Guest) was also a guest when three of his films were featured on “Screen Director’s Playhouse”: “You Were Meant For Me” (March 3, 1949), “Don’t Trust Your Husband” (September 23, 1949), and “It Happens Every Spring” (April 14, 1950).

EPISODE

From a busy typing pool headed by Mr. Woodruff (Frank Nelson), real estate employer Dick Richmond picks the inept Ellen Grant (Lucille Ball). He takes her back to the office and introduces her to Mr. Kilcoyne (Herb Vigran). Dick confides in Mr. Kilcoyne that he deliberately picked Miss Grant because she looks good but is pretty dim - the perfect cover for their bookie operation! Kilcoyne dictates to Ellen about some low cost housing. She tells him that no one can ever dictate too fast for her. If she misses a word, she just puts in a ‘doofer’ - something that’ll ‘do for’ now.

Ellen calls her Uncle Ben, a judge, to tell him about her new job. While she’s on the phone Peggy Donato barges in to see Dick. In the conference room, it is clear Peggy and Dick are in a relationship. Peggy is immediately suspicious of the new secretary. She is unhappy when she is rebuffed by Dick. Before leaving, she tells Ellen to give a message to Dick: Five thousand on the Flywell property at Belmont. Dick comes out of the conference room and tells Ellen that the low-cost housing project is off.

Ellen comes into the office with her Uncle Ben. She has arranged it so that Dick can buy the low-cost housing at a discount price. Judge Ben has even brought the papers. With no way out - Dick and Mr. Kilcoyne sign and the judge leaves. She suddenly remembers the message Peggy left for him. Alarmed, they check the papers and realize they owe Peggy fifty grand! In the conference room, Dick and Mr. Kilcoyne conspire to make Ellen quit before they go bankrupt. To put the plan in action, Dick kisses Ellen. Indignant at his liberty, she promptly quits. She no sooner returns and says that she will stay on to see through the low-cost housing project - but no further hanky panky will be tolerated! The two men adjourn to the conference room! End of Act One

A live commercial is for RCA television sets. The pitch involves getting a set that fits the consumer’s home. In the second part, Ellen still doesn’t realize her employers are NOT in the real estate business. Dick has a plan to go ahead and build the houses - and skim the profits off the top to pay their debt to Peggy. Knowing her mental acumen is not great, Dick pitches a promotion to Ellen - heading up the housing project.

As boss, Ellen starts making silly decisions that frustrate her contractors. Ellen is getting frustrated when the project starts to fall apart - physically and financially. The project grinds to a halt.

Dick makes the ultimate sacrifice, he humbles himself to Peggy and take her back - personally and professionally. It isn’t long before the scheme works and the company is flush again. The conference room phone rings and it is someone looking to bet on a horse. She realizes she has been conned. Dick returns and Ellen quits, humiliated at being duped. Kilcoyne takes her aside and tells Ellen that Dick cares for her and is looking to go straight - but can’t get out of his relationship with Peggy.

Ellen bursts in on Peggy and Dick - gun pointed at her. She tells Peggy that she is mother of Dick’s children - and fires a warning shot. Peggy quickly gives him up and Dick and Ellen leave together.

In the car, Dick and Ellen. She makes it clear that she’s in charge from now on. Miss Grant just took Richmond!

End of Act Two

Lucille Ball and Jimmy Wallington do an RCA Victor commercial. She says she milks the cows at Chatsworth listening to her RCA record collection.

Lucille introduces the evening’s director Lloyd Bacon. Bacon says he started in movies 1915. Ball extolls his talents in directing. They bid the audience good night.

Wallington returns to say that next week will feature “Flamingo Road” starring Joan Crawford recreating her original role.

The ten best modernist buildings in North America are "sculptures that you can live in"

Nonprofit organisation USModernist documents, promotes and preserves North America's modernist architecture. Here, director George Smart names his ten favourites including an airport terminal by Eero Saarinen and a beach house by John Lautner.

Based in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, USModernist has been working since 2007 to document modernist buildings, some of which are under threat, across the continent.

Top: A house by Alber Frey in Palm Springs. Above: George Smart is the founder of USModernist

"Just like stock car racing or sushi, modernist architecture is not for everybody," Smart told Dezeen.

"There are some people that just don't like it, and that's fine," he explained. "The important thing is that, because there are so few of them, that we recognise that many of these houses are really sculptures that you can live in".

"We wouldn't take a piece of art and go tear it to pieces. Similarly, we want to try to keep these houses, which are like works of art, from being destroyed."

Smart noticed a particular uptick in threats to modernist buildings in the 2000s, which prompted him to found USModernist. Now the organisation has documented upwards of 8,000 buildings.

"Modernist architecture is very optimistic," he said. "It tends to point us towards a future that's going to be better and happier."

"Most people who don't like modernist houses have never spent the night in one, they just don't get the vibe that is brought about by designing a house differently," he continued.

"I think people who know and love these houses and buy them just adore the feeling that their house gives them."

USModernist also has a huge, free-to-access digital library of 20th-century architecture magazines as educating the wider public about the importance of these buildings is central to USModernist's goals.

"We want to avoid what I call the Priscilla Presley syndrome," said Smart. "Priscilla, wife of Elvis, who took a perfectly wonderful John Lautner modernist house, and turned it into this Italianate villa, when what she should have done is just gone out and bought an Italianate villa."

Read on to discover Smart's favourite 10 modernist buildings in the USA (plus one in Mexico):

Frey II in Palm Springs, California, by Albert Frey

"This last, final home of Albert Frey is the perfect small weekend getaway with one of the best views in California (above and top). It is also an incredibly efficient use of space and was built around a giant rock, which sits in the living room.

"On a more reverent note, there are people, including myself and the architecture curators at the Palm Springs Art Museum, who consider this 1964 house to be the high temple of desert architecture, as it is the epitome of a building integrated into the earth around it."

Catalano House in Raleigh, North Carolina, by Eduardo Catalano

"Argentinian professor Eduardo Catalano created one of the first hyperbolic paraboloid residences in 1954, which instantly became an international sensation.

"The house was tragically destroyed in 2001 after years of neglect. This loss inspired the creation of what became USModernist. Bold, dramatic and fun to live in, it continues to amaze us, even 20 years after its demise."

TWA Flight Centre at JFK Airport by Eero Saarinen

"The recent renovation, restoration and addition to Eero Saarinen's TWA Flight Centre at JFK Airport is one of America's finest restoration projects. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey get huge credit for not tearing the building down in the past 30 years.

"Instead, they kept it in mothballs until the right developer could come along. And the right developer did. The main terminal, plus the two new hotel wings, make for a perfect overnight stay – but the real secret is the 50,000-square-foot underground conference facility designed by Lubrano Ciaverra, which has barely been covered by the media. It's the only major conference facility at the airport."

Frank Sinatra's Twin Palms House in Palm Springs, California, by E Stewart Williams

"In 1947 Frank Sinatra commissioned the first of a couple of Palm Springs houses, this one by E Stewart Williams. It put Williams on the map as an up-and-coming architect.

"It was famous for a rollicking fight that Frank had with his then-wife Ava Gardner; you can still see cracks in the bathroom from when she threw a bottle at him. Where most living rooms had a phonograph and radio console, this one has professional audio recording capability built-in.

"I think it's an urban legend that the pool is shaped like a piano, it's just a coincidence. The house is open for Modernism Week every year, for tours and parties (where you'll find us); the rest of the year, you can rent it."

Holy Comforter Lutheran Church in Belmont, North Carolina, by Odell Associates

"This tiny 1959 church is way off the beaten path, about a half-hour from Charlotte in Belmont. Less known than others on this list, it was designed by Odell Associates but the real genius came from the project architect Charles Lyman Bates.

"His geometric stained-glass panels throughout the interior create a modernist spirituality in a way that still feels entirely original. The feeling I got, walking in, was a spiritual combination of religion and progress; the space is imbued with deeply gorgeous light. It's like God has a really swanky new house."

Via 57 West in New York City by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG)

"All I want for Christmas is an apartment in this building, which sets the tone for a new era of modernism in New York City. Bjarke Ingels is this century's Frank Lloyd Wright and I'm going on record with that statement.

"It's fun to see the building from the air on Google as well as from the water if you're on an architectural walking or boat tour (often sponsored by AIA New York Chapter); it's a departure from any other building on Manhattan's skyline. On a personal note, please find me if you have a lead on getting in!"

Ralph Atkinson House in Monterrey, California, by Gregory Ain

"The LA architect Gregory Ain was on the FBI's watchlist for decades because he dared to advocate on behalf of integrated housing in 1950's California. He and partner James Homer Garrott, an African American architect, designed this house in Monterrey in 1959 when they had an office in Silver Lake.

"On a tall and steep cliff over the Pacific, it is not an exaggeration to say that this home is one of the most beautiful, spectacularly sited houses in America.

"We often try to track these houses and to learn about their owners; this one was last sold in 2020 to a mysterious buyer, who has stayed anonymous with the help of a lot of lawyers and accountants. But if you're ever in the area, it is everyone's dream Instagram post."

Casa Marbrisas in Acapulco, Mexico, by John Lautner

"Lautner in Mexico. John Lautner is the architect of record, the project architect is Elena Arahuete. Together they designed one of the most amazing residences in Mexico. Or anywhere, for that matter.

"It's an incredible fusion of sky and sea and water, even though it's high up on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Not open to visitors, the house has been featured in several Lautner documentaries."

Desert House 1 in Palm Springs, California, by Jim Jennings

"This is a desert example of complete efficiency, a one-bedroom, one-bath house that perfectly bookends Frey's home of 45 year's earlier.

"Once inside the walls, you are part of completely relaxing, simple, minimal space, at the same moment inside and outside, very private, cloistered. I'd call it monastic."

Victor and Elizabeth Hunt House in Malibu, California, by Craig Elwood

"Designer Craig Elwood had a red Ferrari and was a master of promotion in mid-century Los Angeles. Derided by the architecture profession, of which he was formally not a member, he rose to fame via three homes that were included in the iconic Case Study Houses published by Arts and Architecture magazine.

"The Victor and Elizabeth Hunt House in Malibu was immaculately restored in 2020 by Ellwood-whisperer Barton Jahncke, who specializes in Ellwood restorations, for its loving new owners and noted preservationists, Diane Bald and Michael Budman."

Noticias de la semana: Las cuatro nuevas series de 'Juego de Tronos'

El futuro de Game of Thrones

HBO ya ve cerca el final de Juego de Tronos y empieza a pensar en el futuro de la franquicia. La cadena ha comenzado a hablar con George R.R. Martin y otros cuatro guionistas para desarrollar cuatro series que explorarían historias de distintas épocas de este universo, sin aclarar si serían precuelas, secuelas o spin-offs. Estos guionistas son Max Borenstein (Kong: Skull Island, Minority Report), Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, Kingsman), Brian Helgeland (Mystic River, A Knight's Tale) y Carly Wray (Mad Men, The Leftovers), que no tienen ninguna relación con la serie original. Weiss y Benioff no están unidos a estos proyectos actualmente, pero serían productores ejecutivos de cualquiera de ellos junto a Martin si llegasen a materializarse. Sin prisa, su futuro depende de los guiones. [Fuente]

Eric Dane pide una pausa

Tras volver de dos semanas de vacaciones, la producción de The Last Ship vuelve a detenerse hasta el 29 de mayo a petición de Eric Dane, que quiere tratar su depresión. En 2011, Dane buscó ayuda profesional para su adicción a los analgésicos prescritos tras una lesión deportiva. Todavía no hay fecha de estreno de la cuarta temporada, pero no se esperan retrasos ya que se ha completado su grabación. Ya se centran en la quinta, que se emitirá en 2018. [Fuente]

Rihanna to Star in Adam Driver’s New Music Drama ‘Annette’

Tonja Stidhum March 15, 2017 TV

Amazon Studios has bought the U.S. and Canadian distribution rights to music drama Annette, from cult French director Leos Carax (Holy Motors) and Rihanna will star in the film! She was initially rumored, but it has been confirmed via Variety. Adam Driver (Girls, Star Wars: The Force Awakens) will also star. Rooney Mara was set to portray the female lead, but had to leave the project due to scheduling conflicts so producers are searching for another.

Carax’s English-language debut, Annette will start shooting this spring. The script was written by by Sparks, the art-rock band founded in 1971 by Ron and Russell Mael, and the film will feature Sparks’ original songs. The film will follow a stand-up comedian whose opera singer wife is deceased and finds himself alone with his 2 year old daughter who has a surprising gift.

Amazon Studios is on a winning streak with acquired content, having won three Oscars for Manchester by the Sea and The Salesman. Upcoming for Amazon is The Big Sick, The Only Living Boy in New York, Long Strange Trip, and Wonderstruck.

Rihanna, of course, is best-known for her widely successful music career (including being featured on several movie soundtracks such Star Trek Beyond, The Hangover, and Wreck-It Ralph), but has ventured into acting, making her debut via a cameo in 2006’s Bring It On: All or Nothing. The Barbadian songstress’ first theatrical film feature was in Battleship in 2012. One huge highlight of her career was his voice-work in the Dreamworks hit Home, where she voiced Gratuity “Tip” Tucci, a significant character for little Black girls everywhere.

Post-2015 has been an acceleration of acting projects for Rihanna in both film and television, with upcoming projects such as the Luc Besson comic book film adaptation Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, the all-women Ocean’s Eleven franchise spin-off Ocean’s Eight, and is set to play the role of Marion Crane in the final season of Bates Motel.

This is sure to be an exciting and creative project for Rihanna and we look forward to her feature!

Best 5 Halloween Movies on DVD of All Time

2017 Halloween is coming soon! Yes, you may have prepared creative Halloween decorations and costumes to celebrate the most thrilling and interesting holiday in whole year. On the other hand, some of you may prefer to watch a horror movie with families instead of holding a jubilant party to enjoy the Halloween spirit. But if you are in hesitation of selecting a great movie for families, the list of best 5 Halloween movies on DVD are available for your reference.

Psycho (1960) DVD Release Date: Psycho has been released several times on DVD. Its initial release is in 1998 and the latest version came out on July 12, 2016. Director: Alfred Hitchcock Stars: Anthony Perkins | Janet Leigh | Vera Miles Production Co.: Shamley Productions Genres: Horror | Thriller | Mystery Rated: R Plot: Marion Crane embezzled $40,000 from her employer and left Phoenix with the hope of starting a new life. Mario stopped to take a rest in the Bates Motel after 36 hours' exhausted driving. Something would happen...

At very beginning, Psycho received mixed reviews from praises on great performances by actors to blames on dull plot. However, it is loved by the public and recognized one of the most shocking films in whole history. It got 4 nominations of Academy Awards containing Best Director and Best Supporting Actress and is topped on AFI's 100 Years…100 Thrillers chart. It is absolutely the No.1 choice if you want a creepy night with a Halloween DVD.

Halloween (1978) DVD Release Date: The DVD video edition of Halloween was initially released on September 28, 1999 and the special 25th Anniversary Edition came out on August 5, 2003. Director: John Carpenter Stars: Donald Pleasence | Jamie Lee Curits | Tony Moran Production Co.: Compass International Pictures | Falcon International Productions Genres: Horror | Thriller Rated: R Plot: 6-year-old Michael Myers was sent to mental hospital for killing his sister on Halloween night. 15 years later, he escaped and returned to Haddonfield to commit the brutal murder again.

Halloween was criticized imitating techniques of Hitchcock (Director of Psycho) and despised by some critics at the start. Through several years, it won the reputation as an iconic Halloween movie widely influencing modern horror genre and considered as one of the best films of 1978. It was nominated as the Best Horror Film on Saturn Awards 1979 and received Best DVD/Blu-ray Special Edition Release, Best DVD/Blu-ray Collection on Saturn Awards 2014/2015 respectively.

Insidious (2011) DVD Release Date: July 12, 2011 Director: James Wanbr Stars: Patrick Wilson | Rose Byrne | Ty Simpkinsbr Production Co.: Alliance Films | IM Global | Haunted Moviesbr Genres: Horror | Mystery | Thrillerbr Rated: PG-13 Plot: The Lambert family moved into a new big house which is haunted. The young son Dalton accidently felt into a coma because of a mysterious incident in the attic. Something evil was in the house and the parents must find a solution.

Despite of a little bit low rating (about 6-7) on movie review aggregation sites, for example IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, it received a commercial success with a total of 97 million gross becoming the most profitable film of 2011. Critics reviewed it as "not terrifically good" but can please moviegoers with a scary and funny suspense. It was also nominated as the Best Horror on Empire Awards. Compared with other two best Halloween DVD movies, Insidious is better for watching with whole family.

The Witch/The VVitch: A New-England Folktale (2015) DVD Release Date: May 17, 2016 Director: Robert Eggers Stars: Anya Taylor-Joy | Ralph Ineson | Kate Dicki Production Co.: Parts and Labor | RT Features | Rooks Nest Entertainment | Code Red Productions | Scythia Films | Maiden Voyage Pictures | Mott Street Pictures | Pulse Films | Very Special Projects Genres: Horror | Mystery Rated: R Plot: In 1963 New England, William family built a farm on the edge of an ominous forest after being banished from a Puritan plantation. Strange things happened soon. The new-born baby abruptly disappeared and crops failed. It is seemingly that an evil spirit possessed everything.

The Witch was critically acclaimed for its cast, terrific sound effects and chilling suspense. However, some critics and audiences figured out that this film paid much attention on regions, sins while didn't correctly fit into the genre of horror. Put those mixed reviews aside, this Halloween DVD movie won Best Horror (Film) on Empire Awards and received other 37 wins and 62 nominations.

Get Out (2017) DVD Release Date: May 23, 2017 Director: Jordan Peele Stars: Daniel Kaluuya | Allison Williams | Bradley Whitford Production Co.: Blumhouse Productions | Monkeypaw Productions | QC Entertainment Genres: Horror | Mystery | Thriller Rated: R Plot: Chris Washington went to meet his girlfriend Rose's family at the weekend in an isolated countryside estate. He got an overly warm reception but soon involved into a nightmare.

Get Out received an even universal acclaim according to high ratings on IMDb, Rotten Tomatos, Metacritic and more. It is defined as a brilliantly effective and entertaining horror/comedy thrill ride for scary, funny and thought-provoking story. It also obtained nominee as the Best Horror on BET Awards and other 4 wins/17 nominations. Commercially, it successfully had a box office of $253 million worldwide against the budget of $4.5 million.

Ten need-to-know modernist buildings in North and South America

From Frank Sinatra's house in Palm Springs to a cliffside home in Acapulco, here are 10 beautiful pieces of modernist architecture that non-profit USModernist is fighting to preserve.

USModernist director George Smart has picked 10 of his favourite examples of mid-century architecture across North and South America.

"Just like stock car racing or sushi, modernist architecture is not for everybody," Smart told Dezeen.

"There are some people that just don't like it, and that's fine. The important thing is that, because there are so few of them, that we recognise that many of these houses are really sculptures that you can live in," he explained.

"We wouldn't take a piece of art and go tear it to pieces. Similarly, we want to try to keep these houses, which are like works of art, from being destroyed."

Based in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, USModernist has been working since 2007 to document modernist homes and buildings across the continent. Its staff and community of modernism fans comb through the archives of notable modernist architects and track down their built works to photograph and document them.

USModernist also has a huge, free-to-access digital library of 20th-century architecture magazines. Educating the wider public about the importance of these buildings is central to USModernist's goals.

Smart noticed a particular uptick in threats to modernist buildings in the 2000s, which prompted him to found USModernist. Now the organisation has documented upwards of 8,000 buildings.

"Modernist architecture is very optimistic. It tends to point us towards a future that's going to be better and happier," Smart says on the appeal of the style.

"Most people who don't like modernist houses have never spent the night in one, they just don't get the vibe that is brought about by designing a house differently," he explained.

"I think people who know and love these houses and buy them just adore the feeling that their house gives them."

Read on to discover Smart's top 10 modernist buildings:

Frey II in Palm Springs, California, by Albert Frey

Catalano House in Raleigh, North Carolina, by Eduardo Catalano

"Argentinian professor Eduardo Catalano created one of the first hyperbolic paraboloid residences in 1954, which instantly became an international sensation.

TWA Terminal in New York City, New York, by Eero Saarinen

"The recent renovation, restoration and addition to Eero Saarinen's TWA Terminal at JFK Airport is one of America's finest restoration projects. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey get huge credit for not tearing the building down in the past 30 years.

Frank Sinatra's Twin Palms House in Palm Springs, California, by E. Stewart Williams

"In 1947 Frank Sinatra commissioned the first of a couple of Palm Springs houses, this one by E Stewart Williams. It put Williams on the map as an up-and-coming architect.

Holy Comforter Lutheran Church in Belmont, North Carolina, by Odell Associates

Via 57 in New York City, New York, by Bjarke Ingels (BIG)

"All I want for Christmas is an apartment in this building, which sets the tone for a new era of modernism in New York City. Bjarke Ingels is this century's Frank Lloyd Wright, and I'm going on record with that statement.

Ralph Atkinson House in Monterrey, California, by Gregory Ain

"On a tall and steep cliff over the Pacific, it is not an exaggeration to say that this home is one of the most beautiful, spectacularly sited houses in America.

Casa Marbrisas in Acapulco, Mexico, by John Lautner

"It's an incredible fusion of sky and sea and water, even though it's high up on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Not open to visitors, the house has been featured in several Lautner documentaries."

Desert House 1 in Palm Springs, California, by Jim Jennings

"This is a desert example of complete efficiency, a one-bedroom, one-bath house that perfectly bookends Frey's home of 45 year's earlier.

"Once inside the walls, you are part of a completely relaxing, simple, minimal space, at the same moment inside and outside, very private, cloistered. I'd call it monastic."

Victor and Elizabeth Hunt House in Malibu, California, by Craig Elwood

Jackson Brown, Jr. • Sadness is but a wall between two gardens. – Khalil Gibran • So plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. – Jorge Luis Borges • Some men like to make a little garden out of life and walk down a path – Jean Anouilh • Some people might think our lives dull and uneventful, but it does not seem so to us. …it is not travel and adventure that make a full life. There are adventures of the spirit and one can travel in books and interest oneself in people and affairs. One need ever be dull as long as one has friends to help, gardens to enjoy and books in the long winter evenings. – D.E. Stevenson • Someone had told me about a house in Wandsworth, southwest London – 21 Blenkarne Road – with an incredible garden, so I went and had a look. I walked in and just said, ‘I want it.’ – Susannah York • St. Francis of Assisi was hoeing his garden when someone asked what he would do if he were suddenly to learn that he would die before sunset that very day. “I would finish hoeing my garden,” he replied. – Francis of Assisi • Successful gardening is doing what has to be done when it has to be done the way it ought to be done whether you want to do it or not. – Jerry Baker • Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once.

They always look forward to doing something better than they have ever done before. – Vita Sackville-West • The single greatest lesson the garden teaches is that our relationship to the planet need not be zero-sum, and that as long as the sun still shines and people still can plan and plant, think and do, we can, if we bother to try, find ways to provide for ourselves without diminishing the world. – Michael Pollan • The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground. – Gilbert K. Chesterton • The weeds keep multiplying in our garden, which is our mind ruled by fear. Rip them out and call them by name. – Sylvia Browne • The wilderness is near as well as dear to every man. Even the oldest villages are indebted to the border of wild wood which surrounds them, more than to the gardens of men. There is something indescribably inspiriting and beautiful in the aspect of the forest skirting and occasionally jutting into the midst of new towns, which, like the sand-heaps of fresh fox-burrows, have sprung up in their midst. The very uprightness of the pines and maples asserts the ancient rectitude and vigor of nature. Our lives need the relief of such a background, where the pine flourishes and the jay still screams. – Henry David Thoreau • There are no green thumbs or black thumbs. There are only gardeners and non-gardeners. Gardeners are the ones who ruin after ruin get on with the high defiance of nature herself, creating, in the very face of her chaos and tornado, the bower of roses and the pride of irises. It sounds very well to garden a ‘natural way’. You may see the natural way in any desert, any swamp, any leech-filled laurel hell. Defiance, on the other hand, is what makes gardeners. – Henry Mitchell • There is no gardening without humility. Nature is constantly sending even its oldest scholars to the bottom of the class for some egregious blunder. – Alfred Austin • There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace. You will find that deep place of silence right in your room, your garden or even your bathtub. – Elisabeth Kubler-Ross • There is peace in the garden. Peace and results. – Ruth Stout • They can certainly expect to be very impressed with the technical aspects of the show, fooled and led up the garden path by the story and ultimately have a jolly good laugh! – Louise Jameson • To garden is to let optimism get the better of judgment. – Eleanor Perenyi • To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow. – Audrey Hepburn • Unemployment is capitalism’s way of getting you to plant a garden. – Orson Scott Card • We have descended into the garden and caught three hundred slugs. How I love the mixture of the beautiful and the squalid in gardening. It makes it so lifelike. – Evelyn Underhill • We were enclosed, O eternal Father, within the garden of your breast. You drew us out of your holy mind like a flower petaled with our soul’s three powers and into each power you put the whole plant, so that they might bear fruit in your garden, might come back to you with the fruit you gave them. And you would come back to the soul, to fill her with your blessedness. There the soul dwells like the fish in the sea and the sea in the fish. – St. Catherine of Siena • Well, being a jazz musician is not a rose garden! – Toots Thielemans • What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it. – Charles Dudley Warner • What is paradise, but, a garden, an orchard of trees and herbs, full of pleasure and nothing there but delights. – William Lawson • When your garden is finished I hope it will be more beautiful that you anticipated, require less care than you expected, and have cost only a little more than you had planned. – Thomas Church • Where would the gardener be if there were no more weeds? – Bill Vaughan • Wherever you have a plot of land, however small, plant a garden. Staying close to the soil is good for the soul. – Spencer W. Kimball • Who loves a garden still his Eden keeps. – Amos Bronson Alcott • Who loves a garden, still his Eden keeps, Perennial pleasures plants, and wholesome harvests reaps. – Amos Bronson Alcott • Why try to explain miracles to your kids when you can just have them plant a garden. – Robert Breault • Won’t you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you. – Richard Brinsley Sheridan • Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing. – Jim Rohn • Your garden will reveal yourself. – Henry Mitchell
