Download or read book Carol Reed written by Nicholas Wapshott and published by Alfred A. Knopf. This book was released on 1994 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Carol Reed - director of thirty-four films, among them Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, Outcast of the Islands, Mutiny on the Bounty and, of course, the great postwar classic The Third Man." "He is fully revealed here as the complex, reticent, eccentric man of enormous gifts who understood actors and writers (he was both) and was a master of the art of telling stories, and making movies." "At the center of Reed's life was the fact of his birth: He was the illegitimate son of one of Edwardian England's great character actors, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who for fifty years dominated the London stage and whose flamboyant personality and love affairs were legend. Nicholas Wapshott shows how Reed's response to his heritage - the conflict between his shame and his pride - was reflected in the elusive, enigmatic figure he presented throughout his life." "Here is Reed as a boy with his father's theatrical colleagues (among them Bernard Shaw, W. S. Gilbert, Wilde, Whistler, Ellen Terry and James Barrie) . . . Reed landing his first job: an assistant to the bestselling thriller writer of his day, playwright and producer Edgar Wallace . . . Reed with his secret love, Daphne du Maurier (she later described the romance in her novel I'll Never Be Young Again) . . . Reed's marriages - first to the beloved star Diana Wynyard, then to Penelope Dudley Ward, the daughter of a mistress of Edward VIII." "We follow Reed as a young actor, assistant director and dialogue coach - and finally, a director making his first film, It Happened in Paris, from a script adapted by John Huston; Reed developing what would become the brilliant repertory company he worked with again and again: Tyrone Guthrie, Margaret Lockwood, Alastair Sim, Michael Redgrave, Emlyn Williams, Roger Livesey and Robert Donat, among others." "We see Reed's long writing collaboration with Eric Ambler and Peter Ustinov, beginning when they were young men stationed together during the war. And his ten-year collaboration with Graham Greene, which resulted in Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol - and The Third Man (producer David O. Selznick opting first for Noel Coward to play Harry Lime, the part ultimately taken by Orson Welles)." "Then with the death of Alexander Korda, and with the British film industry in shambles, we follow Reed to America to direct such films as Trapeze and The Key. And on to Bora Bora to direct the remake of Mutiny on the Bounty, which became the undoing of all involved." "An astute and richly alive portrait of the filmmaker and the man; a superb evocation of the British film world through half a century."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book The London Stage 1900 1909 written by J. P. Wearing and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 731 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, London theatre has celebrated a rich and influential history, and in 1976, the first volume of J. P. Wearing’s reference series provided scholars and other researchers with an indispensable resource of these productions. In the decades since the original calendars were produced, several research aids have become available, notably various reference works and the digitization of important newspapers and relevant periodicals. The London Stage 1900-1909 A Calendar of Productions, Performers, and Personnel, Second Edition provides a chronological calendar of London shows from January 1900 through December 1909. The volume chronicles more than 3,000 productions at 35 selected, major central London theatres during this period. For each entry the following information is provided: Title Author Theatre Performers Personnel Opening and Closing Dates Number of Performances Other details include genre of the production, number of acts, and references to reviews. A comment section includes other interesting information, such as a plot description, the first-night reception by the audience, noteworthy performances, staging elements, and details of performances in New York either prior to or after the London production. Among the plays staged in London during this decade were Candida, His House in Order, The Only Way, The Playboy of the Western World, Raffles (The Amateur Cracksman), and The Scarlet Pimpernel, as well as numerous musical comedies (British and American), foreign works, operas, and revivals of English classics. A definitive resource, this edition revises, corrects, and expands the original, well-received calendar. In addition, approximately 20 percent of the material—in particular, information of adaptations and translations, plot sources, and comment information—is new. Arranged chronologically, the shows are indexed fully by title, genre, and theatre. A general index also includes numerous subject entries on such topics as acting, audiences, censorship, costumes, managers, performers, prompters, staging, ticket prices, or other relevant subjects. An authoritative reference providing essential details, this work will be of value to scholars, theatrical personnel, librarians, writers, journalists, and historians.
