Eclipse Series 48: Kinuyo Tanaka Directs

(Love Letter | The Moon Has Risen | Forever A Woman | The Wandering Princess | Girls Of The Night | Love Under The Crucifix)

Criterion | 1953-1962 | 6 Movies | 607 min | Not Rated
Directed by Kinuyo Tanaka

Kinuyo Tanaka was already one of Japan’s greatest actors—celebrated for her collaborations with auteurs such as Kenji Mizoguchi, Yasujiro Ozu, and Mikio Naruse—when she took a brave leap by embarking on a directing career in a studio system that actively discouraged female filmmakers. The six features she made over the course of a decade center on women characters who refuse to conform to restrictive roles as they seek independence. With compassion and insight, Tanaka critiques the social conditions and forces that shape her heroines’ struggles: sex work and social shaming, the expectation of passively entering arranged marriages, taboos surrounding illness and the female body, imperialism, and religious persecution and forbidden love.

Powerhouse Films | 1978 | 90 min | Not Rated
Directed by Jean Rollin

The Grapes of Death (Les Raisins de la mort) finds cult director Jean Rollin returning to the horror genre to create a unique blend of zombie movie and contagion thriller, starring Marie-Georges Pascal (I Am Frigid… Why?), Félix Marten (Is Paris Burning?), and Serge Marquand (Cemetery Without Crosses). A young woman, Élizabeth (Pascal), travels deep into wine-making country only to find the locals bearing horrific signs of an infection and behaving violently. Teaming up with Paul (Marten) and Lucien (Marquand), she discovers a deadly pesticide is transforming those who drink the local wine into murderous zombies. Also featuring regular Rollin collaborators Jean-Pierre Bouyxou (The Demoniacs), Paul Bisciglia (Lips of Blood), and – in her first straight acting role – the legendary Brigitte Lahaie (Fascination), The Grapes of Death is a blood-soaked classic of fantastique cinema.

Hold That Ghost

Kino Lorber | 1941 | 86 min | Not Rated
Directed by Arthur Lubin

The third Abbott and Costello movie of 1941, and perhaps their funniest of all-time, was rushed into release to capitalize on the wild success of their first two starring films, Buck Privates and In the Navy. In Hold That Ghost, Bud and Lou come into an inheritance: an abandoned roadhouse formerly belonging to a “rubbed out” mobster. This choice piece of real estate is also supposedly the hiding place for the mobster’s illicit loot. When they arrive to claim the “inheritance,” all mayhem breaks loose. People are mysteriously murdered. Lights go on and off. Walls go inside and out. Moans and shrieks are heard. And ghosts run rampant in the legendary duo’s first horror-themed outing, which paved the way for more horror-comedy classics, including the masterpiece, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Before they encountered the Universal Monsters, Bud and Lou enjoyed a jaunt with a haunt in Hold That Ghost! Co-starring Joan Davis, sensational as a “professional screamer,” and featuring toe-tappin’ musical numbers by The Andrews Sisters.

Following the one-two punch of Mortal Kombat and Event Horizon, director Paul W.S. Anderson would team up with iconic action star Kurt Russell (Escape from New York) and scriptwriter David Webb Peoples (Blade Runner, Unforgiven) for the thrilling sci-fi adventure Soldier. Sergeant Todd 3465 (Russell) is a veteran in a long line of soldiers raised from birth to become ruthless and remorseless killing machines. When the callous Colonel Mekum (Jason Isaacs, Armageddon) introduces a new line of stronger, genetically engineered fighters, Todd is judged obsolete and confined to the waste disposal planet Arcadia 234. Taken in by a group of humble colonists, Todd reconnects with his lost humanity, gaining their acceptance and their friendship. But when Mekum unleashes his new elite squad on the planet, led by the fearsome Caine 607 (Jason Scott Lee, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story), Todd must reawaken the warrior within to protect his newfound community.

20,000 Years in Sing Sing

Warner Bros. | 1932 | 78 min | Not Rated
Directed by Michael Curtiz

Academy Award® winners Bette Davis and Spencer Tracy were relative newcomers to the big screen when Warner Bros. and director Michael Curtiz cast them in the moving, true drama of the relationship between a convict and the warden of the notorious Sing Sing penitentiary who stakes his reputation, career and the future of the prison’s inmates on the honor of a thief and murderer–betting that the man will return voluntarily to face his execution at the federal penitentiary known as the “Castle on the Hudson” When hardened thief Tom Gordon (Tracy) is sentenced to serve a prison term at Sing Sing, he believes his friends will help him get out. But after some time, the incorrigible prisoner realizes that his associates on the outside are not going to help him, and under the guidance of reformist warden Paul Long (Arthur Byron), Gordon gradually becomes a model prisoner. When Gordon’s girlfriend, Fay Wilson (Davis) is attacked, Long grants Gordon a furlough to see her. But Gordon confronts her attacker and kills him. Now, Gordon can choose to flee with Wilson . . . or return to prison–saving the work of the only man who has ever believed in him–and to a one-way walk to the electric chair.

Arrowsmith

Warner Bros. | 1931 | 108 min | Not Rated
Directed by John Ford

Based on Sinclair Lewis’ 1925 Pulitzer Prize winning Sinclair novel, ARROWSMITH is the compelling story of a man torn between two sets of values. Ronald Colman stars as Martin Arrowsmith, and idealistic small-town doctor and research scientist who relocates to the West Indies. His determination to end the bubonic plague epidemic there sets off a tragic series of events which force him to come to terms with his career and personal life. Producer Samuel Goldwyn borrowed the services of the great John Ford to direct and cast his number one leading man (Colman) to portray the titular role of Arrowsmith. Portraying Arrowsmith’s devoted wife was Helen Hayes, allowing her a rare opportunity to lend her legendary talents to the big screen. Arrowsmith received Academy Award® nominations for Best Picture, Best Screen Adaptation, Best Art and Set direction, and Best Cinematography. Restored by the Library of Congress in association with The Film Foundation, this presentation of Arrowsmith provides an opportunity for new generations to discover this unique and powerful classic of American cinema.

Captains Courageous

Warner Bros. | 1937 | 115 min | Not Rated
Directed by Victor Fleming

In this superb adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s poignant classic, Spencer Tracy won his first Academy Award® for Best Actor as Manuel, a Portuguese fisherman who teaches human values to a millionaire’s spoiled young son (Freddie Bartholomew). In a characterization ranging from grave to jolly, mystical to courageous, this is one of Tracy’s finest and most colorful roles ever. Bartholomew is unforgettable in the role of 12-year-old Harvey Cheney, who falls overboard while bound for Europe with his father (Melvyn Douglas). The boy’s transformation begins when he is saved by Manuel and brought aboard a New England fishing schooner captained by Disko (Lionel Barrymore). There, he is instantly put to work alongside Dan (Mickey Rooney), the captain’s son. Through the slow and difficult mastery of skills, the boy changes from a spoiled brat into a gallant, brave apprentice. With its magnificent sea photography and All-Star cast, and superb direction from the great Victor Fleming, “Captains Courageous” has an epic sweep and power that continues to draw audiences irresistibly under its spell.

Crack-Up

Warner Bros. | 1946 | 93 min | Not Rated
Directed by Irving Reis

After a train wreck sends art critic George Steele (Pat O’Brien) into a mental tailspin, he’s fired from his job at a New York art museum. Seems unjust – until you learn there was no train wreck. This relentless, nervous, gutsy Film Noir explores the sinister world of violence, and the moneyed world of aesthetics as Steele’s attempt to reconstruct what really happened leads him to murder, mania, and an international conspiracy that threatens the museum’s masterpieces. Herbert Marshall (The Letter) joins the hunt as a mysterious Brit who’s chummy with the cops. And Noir great Claire Trevor (Key Largo) plays Steele’s sweetheart, a savvy journalist who may know a lot more than she’s telling. This nifty film-noir thriller deserves to be better known, and hopefully this sparkling new restoration will make Crack-Up a rediscovery of note for fans of the genre.

Richard the Lionhearted (Sanders), leader of the Third Crusade, intends to take the fight to Muslim leader Saladin (Harrison) and never suspects that the physician who comes to the Christian camp to tend him is Saladin himself. The wily foe is captivated by the alluring Lady Edith (Mayo), even though errant knight Kenneth (Harvey) also seeks Her Ladyship’s hand. There is much more than war to be settled here. There is love and war.

The Man Who Reclaimed His Head

Kino Lorber | 1934 | 80 min
Directed by Edward Ludwig

The year after his breakout role in The Invisible Man, Claude Rains powerfully portrayed the tragic pacifist Paul Verin in The Man Who Reclaimed His Head. Verin writes anti-war editorials and allows politician Henry Dumont (Lionel Atwill, The Secret of the Blue Room) to take credit for his words in the broadsheet he publishes. When Dumont’s political aspirations bring him closer to the very people condemned in Verin’s writings, he urges the scribe to soften his rhetoric. After Verin refuses, Dumont decides to betray his employee by sending him to the warfront and seducing his wife (a blonde Joan Bennett, Scarlet Street). Directed by Edward Ludwig (Wake of the Red Witch, Sangaree), The Man Who Reclaimed His Head is renowned today as a dark and stylish anti-war masterpiece.

Monogram Matinee Volume Two

Warner Bros. | 1944-1947 | 2 Movies | Not Rated
Directed by Phil Karlson, Wallace Fox

It’s time for another Monogram Matinee! This double-feature disc includes one of Monogram’s rare higher-budget offerings which holds a unique place in film history.

LOUISIANA (1947), directed by Phil Karlson, was the semi-autobiographical story of that state’s governor…Jimmie Davis, who was not only a well-liked political leader, but had also established himself as country music singer and composer, having written the famous song “You are My Sunshine”. Davis played himself in the story of his life not only in show business but tracing his backwoods origins to his rise as a Sheriff, Mayor, and eventually the state’s governor. Davis was in office during the filming and credited this film as integral in his re-election as the state’s leader.

SONG OF THE RANGE (1944), the first of many Monogram westerns built around the popular singing cowboy Jimmy Wakely. In this musical oater, Jimmy and his ‘saddle pals’ are up against a gang of outlaws but save the day with plenty of charming musical interludes along the way. With both films having vanished from distribution for decades, this new presentation derived from 4k scans of best surviving nitrate materials will surely delight loyal fans of these Monogram “B’s”
