An oily agent (Dennis Price) lords overs them and plays favorites as he bestows various small jobs. One actor (Edmund Purdom) lands a small film role that that launches him to major screen success ... much to the bitter envy of the others.

The Passionate Friends, by David Lean (1949)

Former lovers Mary Justin (Todd) and Steven Stratton (Trevor Howard) meet accidentally at a New year's party and rekindle lost feelings. Trouble is she is married to a wealthy banker Howard Justin (Claude Rains) and Stratton's in a committed relationship. Justin discovers the affair however and puts an end to it. Nine years pass and they meet again while vacationing. Stratton is now married with kids but Howard thinks otherwise and files for divorce. Mary becomes desperate and suicidal.

This movie is based on the 1913 novel "The Passionate Friends" by H. G. Wells, who also wrote "The Invisible Man", which was made into a 1933 hit movie starring Claude Rains, one of the stars in this movie.

The book Mary (Ann Todd) finds on Steven's (Trevor Howard's) shelf and reads from is "Patterns of Culture" by Ruth Benedict (1887-1948), a noted American anthropologist and folklorist. The book was published in 1934. It is the first book from which Mary Justin and Steven Stratton quote after dinner ("In the beginning, God gave to every people a cup of clay, and from this cup they drank their life."). The full passage from her book is: "A chief of the Digger Indians, as the Californians call them, talked to me a great deal about the ways of his people in the old days. One day, without transition, he broke in upon his descriptions of grinding mesquite and preparing corn soup. "In the beginning," he said, "God gave to every people a cup, a cup of clay, and from this cup they drank their life. They all dipped in the water", he continued, "but their cups were different. Our cup is broken now. It has passed away." Our Cup is Broken. Those things that had given significance to the life of his people, the domestic rituals of eating, the obligations of the economic system, the succession of ceremonials in the villages, possession in the bear dance, their standards of right and wrong - these were gone, and with them, the shape and meaning of their life."

The second book that Mary Justin and Steven Stratton quote from after dinner ("From the music they love you should know the texture of men's souls.") is roughly taken from English novelist and playwright John Galsworthy's "The Man of Property" (published in 1906), the first in a series of three novels and two interludes comprising the "The Forsyte Saga" (published in 1922). The actual quote is: "By the cigars they smoke, and the composers they love, ye shall know the texture of men's souls."

The film underwent a restoration by the BFI National Archive and Granada International, funded by The David Lean Foundation, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17th 2008. This release is a restoraton.

Ann Todd was married to director David Lean from 1949 to 1957.

In the late 1950s Ann embarked on a secondary career as a writer and maker of travel documentaries.

O ano é 1942, Hitler está no auge do poder. Ele e seu círculo mais próximo vão para um castelo no alto das montanhas nos Alpes. Eva Braun, praticamente nua e só,  se expõe pela edificação.

Assim começa o filme do russo Aleksandr Sokurov, Moloch, que ganhou o prêmio de melhor roteiro no Festival de Cannes em 1999.

O termo Moloch descreve ser uma deidade semítica antiga e figurativamente significar um poder tirânico propiciado pela subserviência e sacrifício humano.

Trivia IMDb:

The Italian castle scenes were filmed at Castello Brown in Portofino, Italy, the same castle where Elizabeth von Arnim stayed in the 1920s while writing the novel of the same title, on which this movie was based.

When she was cast as Mrs. Fisher, Dame Joan Plowright said that about twenty years earlier she and Dame Maggie Smith had planned an adaption of the same novel in which they would play the parts of Lottie Wilkins and Rose Arbuthnot.

Made for British television in 1991, but well-produced enough to be released in theaters in the United States in 1992.

There was no road leading up to Castello Brown, the Italian filming location for the castle. Cast and crew had to walk a mile up the hill every day in the morning, and then down again in the evening. All equipment and furnishings for the castle had to be carried up the hill. There was one elevator in the rock up to a neighboring house, but Dame Joan Plowright was the only member of the cast allowed to use it.

Alfred Molina was the only member of the cast and crew who could speak Italian and communicate with the Italian actors and locals during the shoot in Italy. He ended up acting as general interpreter for the production.

After filming wrapped, the cast and crew later remarked upon several supernatural experiences while filming on-location in Italy. Alfred Molina reportedly felt an ice-cold hand grasp the back of his neck on a night shoot, while Miranda Richardson felt her knee-high dress being aggressively yanked to the floor while waiting to film in an old castle. There were also several instances of crew members having to leave the set after suddenly feeling unwell.

Miramax Films, then a relatively small and new company, used the proceeds from the surprise success of the distribution of this movie to produce Neil Jordan's Traídos pelo Desejo (1992), which became another big success for them.

Featured Dame Joan Plowright's only Oscar nominated performance.

Former U.S. President George Bush watched this movie to cheer himself up directly after losing the 1992 election.

World War I looms large in this story set in the early 1920s. Everyone seems to assume that Mrs. Rose Arbuthnot (Miranda Richardson) and Mrs. Lottie Wilkins (Josie Lawrence) are war widows since they travel to Italy alone. Lady Caroline Dester's (Polly Walker's) life is adrift because she lost her beau in the war. Mr. George Briggs' (Michael Kitchen's) bad eyesight is due to mustard gas used by the Germans during the war.

When Mellersh Wilkins (Alfred Molina) is warned by local workmen about the boiler, but ignores them with disastrous consequences, he protests, "I didn't know 'pericoloso' meant 'explosion'!" "Pericoloso" is Italian for "dangerous".

The final movie watched by singer and songwriter Harry Nilsson.

The castle, to which the ladies travel, is located in Portofino on the outskirts of Genoa. Mr. George Briggs and Mr. Frederick Arbuthnot (Jim Broadbent) stop by the castle en route to Rome.

The novel had already a first (and lesser known) adaptation in the '30s, Enchanted April (1935), that didn't impress contemporary audience and critics.

Dame Joan Plowright and Jim Broadbent appeared in Widows' Peak (1994).

The film cast includes one Oscar winner: Jim Broadbent; and two Oscar nominees: Joan Plowright and Miranda Richardson.

Desperate Living, by John Waters (1977)

A rich housewife murders her husband with her overweight maid's help and the two go on the run, ending up in Mortville, a town that provides refuge for criminals. They shack up with a lesbian ex-wrestler and her murderess lover before running into the tyrannical Queen Carlotta, ruler of Mortville.

Uma rica dona de casa mata seu marido com a ajuda da sua criada obesa e as duas fogem, terminando em Mortville, uma cidade que dá refúgio a criminosos e governada por uma rainha fascista.

Filmes de John Waters não são para todos os gostos e muitos acham que ele exagera no mau gosto e atores canastrões.

Husbands, by John Cassavetes (1970)

A common friend's sudden death brings three men, married with children, to reconsider their lives and ultimately leave together. But mindless enthusiasm for regained freedom will be short-lived.

Screenwriter John Cassavetes wrote the film's dialogue after doing improvisations with actors Ben Gazzara and Peter Falk. Reportedly, Cassavetes built the film's three main central characterizations around the real-life personalities of the film's three main actors one of whom included himself.

Director John Cassavetes had to cut the film's running time down about 90 minutes to 154 minutes due to contractual requirements with Columbia Pictures. Due to negative reviews and poor box-office, the studio then cut the film down a further 16 minutes to 138 minutes. The around 85 minutes of the original footage from the long cut have never been located.

Apparently, John Cassavetes spent nine months in the cutting room editing the film but is not billed as an editor on the picture.

This is the only film directed by John Cassavetes to feature both Ben Gazzara and Peter Falk, two of his most frequent collaborators.

This was the first film written and directed by John Cassavetes to be shot in color.

In the documentary, "A Constant Forge", Cassavetes said this was a very personal film for him; his older brother died at the age of 30, and he knew very well the effect losing a loved one.

First of three collaborations of actor Ben Gazzara and writer-director John Cassavetes, the others being Noite de Estréia (1977) and A Morte de um Bookmaker Chinês (1976) with Cassavetes not also acting in the latter. The pair also both appeared in two non-Cassavetes written and directed movies, Enquanto Viverem as Ilusões (1969) and "Capone"

This is one of few John Cassavetes-directed movies that does not feature his real-life wife, actress Gena Rowlands.

The production shoot for this film ran for around six months during the first half of the 1969 year.

Nick Cassavetes played uncredited a character, Nick, who had the same first name as his own. This was the first ever film that future actor-writer-director Nick Cassavetes and son of the film's writer-director and co-lead actor John Cassavetes, ever worked on. Like father like son, both in their careers are actor-writer-directors.

The film's subtitle was "a comedy about life, death and freedom", which if considered as part of the film's long or complete title, "Husbands - A Comedy About Life, Death & Freedom", as show-business trade paper 'Variety' reported with its review, makes the title at 8 words long the John Cassavetes film with the longest title of all, even longer than Uma Mulher Sob Influência (1974) (5 words) and A Morte de um Bookmaker Chinês (1976) (6 words).

A morte repentina de amigo em comum dos personagens de Cassavetes, Falk e Gazzara, leva os três, casados e com filhos, a reconsiderar suas vidas. Mas esse entusiasmo para uma nova liberdade vai ter vida curta.
