    Synopsis
    Michelangelo Antonioni served as just one of three directors on this Dino de Laurentiis production that also corralled Franco Indovina (Antonioni’s assistant on three films) and Mauro Bolognini for three segments that all adhered to the titular theme, The Three Faces of a Woman: Il Provino, Latin Lover, and Famous Lovers. Il Provino (or Prefazione, The Preface), Antonioni’s contribution, stars a former member of Iranian royalty, Saroya; the entire film consists of her screen test. Indovina’s Latin Lover chronicles a professional woman’s experience with a male escort, hired by her business to keep her company on her travels to Rome. Finally, Bolognini’s Famous Lovers focuses on a woman whose marriage is threatened by an affair with a dashing young writer. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie GuideRead More »

Inge will fürs erste auch gar nicht, dass Hub erfährt, wie es um sie steht. Nichts soll ihn ablenken von dem großen Ziel, dass er und ihr Bruder Wolfgang – Kraftfahrzeugmechaniker wie Hub – mit Verbissenheit und Energie verfolgen: den Bau einer Rennmaschine, um an einem Moto-Cross-Rennen teilnehmen zu können. Inge möchte einen Helden lieben, und so tut sie alles dafür, dass der Traum der Jungen in Erfüllung geht. Freilich kränkt es sie, dass der motorradbesessene Hub überhaupt keine Notiz von ihr nimmt.

    Translated from German wikipedia wrote:
    The film was shot in the UFA-Union-Filmstudios, Berlin-Tempelhof. The sets were designed by Kurt Richter. Although the National Film Archive also has designs by Paul Leni for the film, his involvement cannot be confirmed due to rediscovered film credits. The same applies to Ossi Oswalda’s involvement as an actor, as stated by Hermann G. Weinberg in 1977.
    The 1,163-meter-long film was examined by the censors in July 1918. The premiere of the film, which was announced in the Lichtbild-Bühne as Der Fall Rosenblum,[4] was on September 20, 1918 at the U.T. Friedrichstraße in Berlin.Read More »

    Quote:
    The Scribe is a 1966 short comedy film directed by John Sebert and produced by the Construction Safety Association of Ontario, Canada. It demonstrates the do’s and don’ts of construction site safety.

    The film is the last professionally filmed footage of film legend Buster Keaton shot months before his death from lung cancer on February 1 1966. He recreates several routines from his youth, as well as some new material for the film. Most notable was his recreation of a gag from his 1918 film The Bell Boy in which he mops the floor using only the tip of the mop, little by little while sitting on the floor.Read More »
