I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that two of our most devoted cinephiles have not seen Carry On Matron! Maybe not the best of the series, but it was the one in which the great Hattie Jacques, who had already played Matron several times, got to play the lead!

I just picked up a copy of it.  I'm a Hattie fan.

Growing up in the rural South, I had never even heard of the Carry On films until I started buying movie books in the mid-to-late 1980's. I can't recall a single one being shown on TV my entire life growing up, and I know for certain that none ever played at our local theaters. Even when the videostore boom happened in the 1980's, where even a small town such as mine managed to sustain up to 10 different stores at the height of the industry, none of the Carry On films were ever in stock. When the corporate claws of Blockbuster video invaded our area in 1994, it signaled the end for most of our locals stores. And while Blockbuster was the first store in our area to stock a large amount of foreign-language, classic, and even silent films, there were still no Carry On films.

 

In fact, it wasn't until the last few years, when TCM showed Carry On Screaming, that I watched my very first film in that venerable series. It remains the sole entry that I have seen.

One of my local theaters in the Bronx, NYC, showed a double bill of Carry On Nurse and Make Mine Mink when I was a kid. Both with Hattie Jacques. I was hooked. I think the early ones are the best, but I enjoy them all.

My mother had some connection with pre-Carry On Joan Sims but I'm sorry I cannot recall what it was.    They were about the same age.  I was well exposed to the early Carry Ons on television in Toronto when I was a kid.

-----I want to say more about my choice for Best Supporting Actor, Robert Duvall.  It's a subtle, restrained performance.  On the one hand we get to see Hagen's human side, his smile overhearing Sonny have a quickie, being confronted by Solozzo after the attempt on Vito's life while buying Christmas presents for his children, his grief when Sonny is killed.  But he's fundamentally corrupt, an unquestioning supporter of the family's criminal activities.  It's not just that he thinks that going into narcotics is a good idea.  It's the way he uses a procedural objection to shut down Fredo's disagreement with Michael in Las Vegas.  It's in the way he doesn't really try to save Tessio.  It's in the way once he returns from his encounter with John Marley, Vito asks him if he's all right, and Hagen said he slept on the plane.  He probably didn't, but the point was for Vito to show his politeness while not actually having to do anything about it.

-----I think there's a general consensus that Keaton is the weak point on the acting front,  and this in two movies with remarkably strong casts.  Indeed, when one compares her with her Woody Allen films, I sometimes find it hard to believe they're the same actress.

 

-----Contra Swithin and CoraSmith, this is the key line of The Godfather:  "Get him a drink. C'mon, don't be afraid, Carlo. Come on, you think I'd make my sister a widow? I'm Godfather to your son, Carlo. [Gives Carlo a drink, he shakily takes it] Go ahead, drink. Drink. No, Carlo, you're out of the family business, that's your punishment. We're finished. I'm putting you on a plane to Vegas. Tom? [Hagen gives a ticket to Michael, who passes it to Carlo] I want you to stay there, understand? [Carlo shakes his head] Only, don't tell me you're innocent, because it insults my intelligence."

That's why I picked her as my best supporting actress of the year, because of how weak she was. I need to catch up with the general consensus, I guess.

I would like to offer a small tribute to two New York actors who starred in one of my favourite all-time films, Slaughterhouse Five (1972): Ron Leibman and Sharon Gans.  Leibman is now 79 and Gans 84.

"Paul Lazzao never forgets!"  Ron Leibman as Paul Lazzaro, Billy Pilgrim's worst nightmare.

"I'm going to lose weight for you, Billy"  Sharon Gans as Valencia Merble Pilgrim with Michael Sacks.

Before we hit 1973 I would like to mention that I am going with 1973 for Day For Night which had its premiere at Cannes that year.  Valentina Cortese was nominated for an Oscar in 1974 as a result of a silly rule that permitted actors to be nominated the following year if the film happened to win the best foreign language Oscar.  The 1974 Oscar winner, Ingrid Bergman made mention of this rule in her acceptance speech as she seemed to be embarrassed about competing against her friend.

I am also going with 1973 for Scenes From a Marriage which had both a theatrical and television movie version released that year.  It also competed in the Oscar theatrical film awards.

Where was it released theatrically before 1974?  And according to Wikipedia it was declared ineligible for the 1974 oscars because it had appeared on television more than a year before its theatrical release.

Leading vs. Supporting Categories in 1973 …

I think Oscar got a few things wrong this year. i watched The Exorcist again last week and Jason Miller could only be considered the male lead in that film.  Oscar had him in supporting.  One half of the film is told from his point of view, while the other half is from Ellen Burstyn’s pov.  I think he ended up in this category as he was a relative newcomer without the marquee name.

The Last Detail is a three-hander.  Jack Nicholson, Otis Young and Randy Quaid are all leads.  Oscar had Quaid in supporting.

And this may be the most obvious one of all .. Tatum O’Neal is the female lead in Paper Moon.  As they often do when it comes to juvenile performers, Oscar put O’Neal in the supporting category which she then went on to win.  Smart move.

IMO Robert Ryan and Lee Marvin are the co-leads of The Iceman Cometh.

Dustin Hoffman is supporting in Papillon.  If a lesser actor had been cast in this role there would be absolutely no question that it was supporting

Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson are leads in Scenes From a Marriage.  Bibi Andersson is supporting.

Francois Truffaut and Jacqueline Bissett are leads in Day For Night.  Seeing it again this summer, Bissett and her story take over the entire film about half way through.

Joanne Woodward and Martin Balsam are both leads in Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams.

Harvey Keitel is the only lead in Mean Streets.

Michael York is the only lead in The Three Musketeers.

Robert Redford and Paul Newman are co-leads in The Sting.

Richard Dreyfuss, Paul LeMat and Cindy Williams are the leads in American Graffiti.

Timothy Bottoms and Lindsay Wagner are leads in The Paper Chase.

The New York Film Critics put Robert De Niro in the supporting category for Bang the Drum Slowly.  Moriarty as the lead.  There may be a case to put De Niro as co lead.  Personally I would have to see the film again.

Liv Ullmann would win several theatrical acting awards for Scenes From a Marriage (1973).  Oscar has its own rules and this is not a compare our choices to Oscar thread.  If Scenes was good enough for the NY Film Critics, it is good enough for me.  It played theatrically and not on television when it was released in other countries.  It had two versions.  The version made for Swedish television was much longer than the version that I saw in the cinema.  But if you would like to omit it, that's entirely fine too.

Oh Madeline Kahn was so much funnier in Paper Moon than in the later Young Frankenstein which always gets more attention since it is the more popular cult favorite today.

 

Linda Blair really "made" The Exorcist. Her performance is the one everybody remembers after all. Pity she was thrown a lot of Raspberries for her low budget 1980s work almost as if that film "cursed" her in more ways than one.

It helped having plenty of *audio* fame during the golden age of radio drama a.k.a. Suspense, even before her *visible* fame in the Johnny Guitar and Giant years.

The performance of the year by a country mile, as far as I'm concerned, is given by Sissy Spacek in Badlands. I'll gladly praise Terrence Malick for his vision and his direction, and the work by two different cinematographers, and the imaginative use of music, but I can't really imagine the film working without Sissy Spacek, who has the right kind of small-town innocence, a certain passivity, and yet a little core of knowingness and a certain lack of concern with moral standards. What other voice could have made the voiceover work, and made so clear the difference between events and the way the girl thought of them?

 

For me Badlands stands head and shoulders above any other American film of 1973, which is not to dismiss Chinatown, Day of the Jackal, Scarecrow, and others. Martin Sheen and Warren Oates also contribute fine performance to the film.

 

A performance likely to get lost is the wonderful comic turn by Jacques Renard in La maman et la putain, the other great film of the year. Renard has a very small filmography, per imdb, yet with his excellent comic timing he steals every scene he has with poor Jean-Pierre Leaud. Renard is definitely my pick for best supporting actor of the year. He and Leaud play slacker pseudo-intellectuals who hang out in Paris cafes, and don't do much except mess around.

 

La maman et la putain is referential in a way I usually don't like, but in this case the references work with merciless brilliance. The viewer really needs to know that Truffaut had cast Leaud as his alter ego in more than one film, and that Godard had cast him as a character to be taken seriously in his political film Masculine Feminine. It helps if the viewer knows that Truffaut had cast Bernadette Lafont in his early short film Les mistons, and that Lafont, here playing the "mama," had played the promiscuous girl in Chabrol's Les bonnes femmes. Lafont had aged rather shockingly in the years since Les bonnes femmes, and that too seems to be part of the story.

 

The brilliant writer-director Jean Eustache positions his film so that it trashes both Godard, who stood for the political film in France, and Truffaut, who stood for the personal film. Jean-Pierre Leaud as an adult actor has little to contribute to a film but good looks, shallow charm, and a certain insipidity, but those are exactly the qualities needed for Alexandre, the main character. Because the film is apparently in large measure autobiographical, Eustache seems to be just as ruthless toward himself as he is toward Godard and Truffaut.

 

Bernadette Lafont is first-rate, as usual, as the woman who's keeping Alexandre, and Francoise Lebrun is equally strong as Veronique, the girl who sleeps around. The only putain in the film, however, is Alexandre.

--------As it happens, I haven't seen all four acting award winners.  That's the only time, with the exception of 1928-29, when there were only two winners, that has happened.

 

--------I actually consider Cries and Whispers a 1973 film, and Andersson would have been a best actress nominee, Ullmann a supporting actress nominee and Thulin the best supporting actress winner.

 

--------And we've passed the halfway mark in years.  44 years down, 43 to go.
