  1. Fred Zinnemann – „12 Uhr mittags“ (1952)

    Das hier ist der eine klassische Western schlechthin! Und politisch eine der schärfsten, mir bekannten Abrechnungen Hollywoods mit Feigheit, Opportunismus und politischer Passivität. Dass der Film mitten in der McCarthy-Ära entstanden ist, war alles andere als ein Zufall. Dass er bis heute so relevant geblieben ist, belegt seine universelle Gültigkeit. Mit Gary Cooper, Grace Kelly und Lloyd Bridges. (ARTE, Wh.)

  4. #Bales2023FilmChallenge April 24: Screaming!! on #ScreamDay

    One joyous day, Pvt. Wilhelm gave his dear life for movie geeks everywhere. The Gary Cooper (super duper!) #western Distant Drums (1951) is the origin of what's known as the Wilhelm scream. During a dramatic action scene, our dearly beloved private is hit in the thigh with an arrow. The bloodcurdling #scream was part of a sounds effect reel voiced by Sheb Wooley, known better for his 1958 rock n rolll novelty song “The Purple People Eater” than fighting off hostile natives. Later, other screamers popped up in anything from A Star Is Born (1954) to Reservoir Dogs (1992). And yes, even a long time ago. In a galaxy far far away.
