Dee was first introduced to Uptight as a proposal for her husband. Almost like divine intervention. Dee’s interest in filmed storytelling was sustained by her television production work, which began in the 1960s, often in collaboration with Ossie Davis. The details on the mechanics of Dassin’s production—cinematographer William Daniels devised hidden cameras and simple, compact lighting rigs that enabled him to shoot anywhere, anytime—should be inspirational for film students and for audiences hungry for reality-based movie magic. Almost like divine intervention. Starring Julian Mayfield, Ruby Dee. We had a screening at the Directors Guild Theater on 57th Street. item 7 Night and The City1950-A Jules Dassin Film-Original Criterion NOT Korean Release 7 - Night and The City1950-A Jules Dassin Film-Original Criterion NOT Korean Release. He worshipped her. He always did his best work on the streets. Broadway columnist turned producer Mark Hellinger (The Killers) bought Wald’s script (then called, simply, Homicide), took credit for the concept, and embraced it. But despite his guilt, a series of events leads him to ultimately sell out his friend for a thousand-dollar reward. Though Uptight is an outlier in both Dassin’s and Dee’s careers it remains a remarkable example of the possibilities of poetic, political filmmaking within the context of a major studio. Shot by famed cinematographer, William Daniels and directed by the soon-to-be Hollywood black-listed, Jules Dassin, THE NAKED CITY turns out to be nothing more than a rather pedestrian police procedural. He made Uncovering “The Naked City” in the late spring, summer, and fall of 2020. Directed by Jules Dassin • 1968 • United States. In 2000, Dassin told me, “The only way you really prepare locations is to walk.” That method generated the evocative atmospheres not just in The Naked City and Rififi, but also in Thieves’ Highway (1949, filmed in San Francisco and Oakland), and his masterpiece, Night and the City (1950, London). . The witty and notoriously tempestuous Citizen Kane screenwriter comes into focus in this conversation between a Mankiewicz biographer and Fincher, whose new film Mank is remarkably faithful to the details of Hollywood history. A location story in the Daily Worker described Murder on Diamond Row on the marquee at Loew’s Delancey and Charlie Chan in the Trap at the Apollo. Still, when we catch a glimpse of the old Penn Station in Uncovering “The Naked City,” or see the promenade and approach to the Williamsburg Bridge replaced by an impersonal superstructure, we do mourn a loss of character. Suffused with her characteristic empathy, Dee’s performance embodies a complex fusion of rage and pain in the face of societal injustice. When he admits to betraying Johnny, she violently attacks him but later nurses his wounds and tries to console him one last time. I miss that. Some have argued that the film was a progenitor of Blaxploitation, but it’s more complex in its moral and social worldview than that association might imply. Five or six years ago, you made In the Footsteps of “Speedy,” tracing the path Harold Lloyd took through New York in 1927. Master noir craftsman Jules Dassin and newspaperman-cum-producer Mark Hellinger’s dazzling police procedural, The Naked City, was shot on location in New York. There’s no longer such thing as an ice cream parlor either, you know, a place where you can just hang out and eat something without having to take out a second mortgage on your apartment. In fact, in comparison to the previous Criterion DVD, the supplements here are a downgrade. Dassin first opens with a great story about being recruited to play in a studio baseball game (Fox vs. MGM) and then talks about the … 4. Left to right: script supervisor Mary Chaffey, technical advisor Capt. When Davis (who was too busy because he was already scheduled to act in The Scalphunters) suggested Dee as a screenwriting partner, she embraced the opportunity and touted her ability to “see more than one side of a subject, to weigh matters and to make choices based on their value in relation to what’s at stake.”. You know, “My God, that’s Jules!”. Out now on Criterion: http://www.criterion.com/films/654-rififi
