REMEMBERING ROBERT MITCHUM

Who died this date in 1997.  A fine actor.  Here's a wonderful 2017 post from our friends at European Film star Postcards:

(Click on the photo to see a vintage Italian postcard).

At Il Cinema Ritrovato, Robert Mitchum (1917–1997) is the subject of the section Two Faces of Robert Mitchum. The American actor is one of the icons of Hollywood thanks to his roles as tough guys, loners and drifters in many War films, Westerns and such classic Film Noirs as Out of the Past (1947) and His Kind of Woman (1952). His facade of cool, sleepy-eyed indifference proved highly attractive to both men and women. Mitchum portrayed two of the scariest screen villains ever: the psychotic evangelist Reverend Harry Powell in Night of the Hunter (1955) and cruel rapist Max Cady in the original Cape Fear (1962).

NEW FROM OUR FRIENDS AT EFSP: PETER LORRE

Peter Lorre: Stranger in a strange land

Curated by Alexander Horwath, Il Cinema Ritrovato 2022 presents 'Peter Lorre: Stranger in a strange land'. With his trademark large, popped eyes, his toothy grin, and his raspy voice, Peter Lorre (1904–1964) was an international sensation as the psychopathic child murderer in Fritz Lang’s M (1931). He became an inspiration for literary giants from Bertolt Brecht to Graham Greene to Elfriede Jelinek, but Lorre is also Der Verlorene - The Lost One – a title he chose for his only directorial work.

His voice summons angels and demons, his body and face are those of a child heavy with guilt. All in all, Lorre’s life, his films, his unrealised dreams, and his physical presence constitute one of the most honest representations of 20th-century man, writes Horwath at the festival site.  READ AND SEE MORE AT https://filmstarpostcards.blogspot.com/2014/02/peter-lorre.html

The proposal would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to explicitly include protections for gender identity and sex characteristics, expand access to gender-affirming care and ban conversion therapy. It would also require the attorney general to designate a liaison dedicated to overseeing enforcement of civil rights for transgender people and invest in community services to prevent anti-transgender violence.
