Rosanna Schiaffino obituary
18 November 2009 6:08 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Italian model and film actor, she left the cinema and joined the jet set
Rosanna Schiaffino, who has died aged 69, was one of those Italian beauty queens who began a promising acting career in the post-neorealist cinema of the 1950s. She gave up the cinema in the 1970s and married the handsome playboy and steel industry heir Giorgio Falck. Their marriage and, a decade later, their break-up and divorce, had overtones of melodrama more piquant than the content of any of the 45 films in which Schiaffino had starred.
She was born in Genoa, in north Italy, into a well-off family and, although her father wanted her to pursue studies as a surveyor, her mother encouraged her showbusiness ambitions, helping her to study privately at a drama school and then to take part in beauty contests, which she usually won. These led to modelling jobs, with photographs in important magazines, including Life. »

Family Britain by David Kynaston | Book review

Katharine Whitehorn on a survey of Britain in the 1950s
What was it like to live in the 1950s? Until recently the decade was thought of as a bare patch between the battleground of the 40s and the fairground of the 60s, but recently its complexities and excitements have exercised historians Peter Hennessy and Dominic Sandbrook; and now there's Family Britain, the second book in David Kynaston's three-volume New Jerusalem project. Mercifully, this massive work – nearly 800 pages – is made highly readable by all sorts of extracts and quotations from diaries, columns and oral records, and deals as much with ordinary, everyday lives as with the machinations of politics and power.
There are surprises in it even for someone who lived delightedly through those years: was rationing really not finally called off until July 1954? Was a Tory government cheerfully still subsidising milk and National Butter in 1956? Some things I remember all »

Cannes in 60 Seconds: Tuesday, May 19, 2009
20 May 2009 12:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
The uproar about Lars Von Trier's Antichrist spurred interest even higher for attendees who wanted to decide the film's merits for themselves. (For one thing, rumor is circulating that the Cannes version will never be seen again. For another, Mick Jagger hated it, calling it "horrible.") During this morning's screening, however, the "projector broke thirty seconds in," says Todd Brown at Twitch, and this afternoon's was "shut down by a major power outage." His conclusion? "God hates Lars."
Robert Pattinson flew in from filming New Moon in Canada and posed on the beach. He confirmed that the fourth film in the Twilight saga, based on Breaking Dawn, will be made as soon as possible. Penelope Cruz suffered food poisoning last night, but recovered sufficiently to promote the new Almodovar flick (see below). She's also talking about her upcoming musical Nine.

Connery and Lollobrigida on the set of Woman of Straw, which airs at midnight tonight on TCM. By Lee Pfeiffer
Turner Classic Movies (North America) is capitalizing on their acquisition of the broadcast rights to the James Bond films by screening Sean Connery triple features every Friday night in May. Tonight's blockbuster triple bill is Goldfinger, Thunderball and a very rare showing of the 1964 thriller Woman of Straw which has not been seen on American TV in decades. As usual, TCM will present uncut, pristine prints with excellent introductions by Robert Osborne. Woman of Straw is a well done thriller in the Hitchcock style, ably directed by Basil Dearden. The plot centers on a repulsive elderly millionaire (Ralph Richardson) and his scheming nephew (Connery). The two men despise each other but are locked together due to family and business interests. Connery's character, Anthony Richmond, concocts a scheme to convince his uncle's voluptuous, »

Scriptwriter Pinelli Dies
9 March 2009 9:15 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Oscar-nominated screenwriter Tullio Pinelli has died at the age of 100.
The Italian stage and film scribe passed away on 7 March in Rome.
Beginning his career in the 1940s, Pinelli was best known for his collaborations with director Federico Fellini.
Together, they earned recognition for movies like 1953's I Vitelloni, 1954's La Strada, 1960's La Dolce vita and 1963's 8 1/2 - all of which were nominated for Best Writing, Story and Screenplay Academy Awards.
Pinelli was also noted for his work on Pietro Germi's 1951 crime film Four Ways Out, starring Gina Lollobrigida, and Fellini's La voce della luna in 1990.
The star is also widely acknowledged for his contributions to Italian cinema's golden age with Monicelli comedies like 1975's Amici miel and 1981's Il Marchese del Grillo.
He is survived by four children, including his director son, Carlo Alberto Pinelli. »
