for Best Actress for that film and won a Tony that same year for her starring role in Ondine. “Over the next decade, Hepburn proved herself more than a math for Hollywood’s top leading men in such hits as Sabrina (1954, with William Holden and Humphrey Bogart), Funny Face (1957, with Fred Astaire) and Love in the Afternoon (1957, with Gary Cooper)” (History.com). Her role in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), earned her fourth Oscar nomination for Best Actress. She earned her spot as a star in the…

n utilised in their own works. Though “the young French cinema indirectly reproached Hollywood’s long-established narratives and restricted storyline subterfuges” (Lanzoni, 206), the French New Wave directors also had a longstanding appreciation for directorial greats like Alfred Hitchcock, Fritz Lang and Orson Welles. Each film was an exercise in honouring great filmmakers, and any other hero of the director: writers, great thinkers and even Hollywood actors, through countless references in…

The scene starts with Rick (Humphrey Bogart), Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), Captain Renault (Claude Rains), and Victor (Paul Henreid) arriving to the plane that would take two people to Lisbon. The characters are at the immediate forefront of the scene because the entire background is covered…

the 1940’s. I discovered through various viewings for this assignment that this was not the case. Casablanca works as an historical allegory, in the sense that the characters represent certain facets of the Allies during World War II. Rick (Humphrey Bogart) represents isolationism, Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) represents idealism, and Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid) represents resistance. An example of this idea is the pivotal character of Casablanca, Rick Blaine. Rick represents isolationism, the…

Released only a year apart, Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon share multiple commonalities, which fuels the debate over whether or not Casablanca is a noir film. The most obvious similarity between the two is the three actors who star in both films, Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, and Sydney Greenstreet. By putting these characters together again. Another similarity is the use of shadows, specifically with establishing shots. Both films use the shadows created by lettering on a window to…

first person use recurring theme music on both his radio shows and television shows which I thought was really cool. Before that, people often played random popular songs each time. Jack had many guests on his television show. Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart both appeared on television for the first time on Jack’s show. Other guests stars included Walt Disney and Rod Serling. Jack Benny also appeared in films. Once again, he proved himself to be a very talented film actor. He was know to be…

out, he chopped his long dirty blonde hair, so that you could have seen his scalp. First was his neighbor Walt. Walt was a Humphrey Bogart fan. Leonard and Walt would spend hours watching his movies. They knew the lines of every movie by heart. They had a special bond that was much like a father-son bond. Leonard presented Walt with a white hat, similar to ones Humphrey Bogart wore. Leonard…

For as long as I can remember, I have grown up in the company of one thing. Films. When I say films, I don’t mean your standard 21st century blockbuster. No, these are much too overdone for my liking. Superfluous special effects, unnecessarily complicated plots, and gratuitous violence have all become key ingredients in the recipe for your generic ‘Captain America’, or ‘Dracula Untold’. It makes sense that after an arduous day at work, the first thing most people seek is some escape from their…

The year was 1942, and Eastern nations were at war with each other, trying to keep Germany out of their beloved countries. America, however, stood at the side, with a neutrality proclamation clear in mind. Even with official neutrality, America started to lean towards helping the countries defend off Germany, ultimately fighting for basic human rights. Casablanca showcases a lone American, Rick, stuck in Casablanca, a French province at the time. The film was appealing to Americans, especially…
