Discover the Class Struggle of ‘Room at the Top’

14 June 2009 11:53 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Every week, Film School Rejects presents a movie that was made before you were born and tells you why you should like it. This week, Old Ass Movies presents: Room at the Top (1959) The class wars concept has always been handled in a not-so-subtle way by manipulative and creative minds alike. In the latters' case there are probably two ways to do it. You either use your characters as toy soldiers to pinpoint some didactic pre-determined class-conscious moral or use the stereotypes that go with that to establish your characters' starting position and let them develop from there. Just like Jack Clayton did back in 1959 in his first feature film, Room at the Top, based on a novel by John Braine. It's the rags-to-riches story of Joe Lampton (Laurence Harvey), a working class bloke and WWII vet who gets a chance to escape his miserable hometown of Dufton and work as a civil servant in a richer »

Bored with her spoiled-rotten lifestyle, Domino decides to get some kicks by joining a league of bounty hunters. It's all fun and games until mafia money goes missing from an armoured car. This film was almost over-stimulating when it came to some of the visuals. The fast-paced non-linear cutting style that seems to pervade the world of modern film today is exaggerated a hundredfold in Domino to the point where at times ... »

DVD Review: "The Outrage" Starring Paul Newman

7 February 2009 3:55 AM, PST | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »

Warner Home Video has recently released a series of Paul Newman titles that have not previously been available on DVD. We'll be taking a look at some of these titles, beginning with the 1964 western The Outrage.

By Lee Pfeiffer

Paul Newman and director Martin Ritt collaborated on six films of varying quality between the years 1958 and 1967, when both men were at the prime of the careers. One of their most notable misfires was The Outrage, an ambitious 1964 remake of Akira Kurosawa's classic Rashomon redefined as a western. Kurasawa's film told of the kidnapping of an innocent couple by a bandit. The woman is raped and the husband is murdered. However, as various people recall the incident, it becomes clear there are radically different versions of what happened and who was responsible for the death. The premise of remaking the story as a Hollywood production starring Newman probably seemed like a winning proposal for MGM, »
