Preconceptions.
I'm someone who believes in truth - what can I say? A great many things keep happening, some of them good, some of them bad - and I'm watching Hud tonight.* The cinematographer was someone named James Wong Howe. That struck me as an interesting fact (yeah, yeah - truth?) for 1963. What's someone with the middle name Wong doing in 1963 as the cinematographer for a Larry McMurtry movie? IMDB shows me this list.
Did you know that someone born in Guangzhou in 1899 would be involved in a list of American films starting in 1923? That's a biography worth reading.
Funny Lady.
The Molly Maguires.
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
Hombre.
Hud.
Bell Book and Candle.
A Farewell to Arms.
Come Back, Little Sheba.
Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House.
Confidential Agent.
Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Fantasia.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
The Prisoner of Zenda.
Laugh, Clown, Laugh
And those are only the ones I've seen! This shifts my idea of "what Hollywood was like."
*SUCH a beautiful movie! Made me postpone my latest Netflix arrival. Patricia Neal is . . . way too great.
