Quote:
Godard undertook a collaborative project with the U.S. filmmakers Richard Leacock and D.A. Pennebaker in October of 1968. Provisionally entitled One A.M., or “One American Movie”, the project was to be shot in the United States, but never reached completion under Godard’s direction. Pennebaker and Leacock continued with the project under the title One P.M. or ‘One Parallel Movie,’ and did not release the film until 1972.

Quote:
Lighter and livelier than the films Jean-Luc Godard had made in France, his U.S. collaboration with Direct Cinema documentarian D. A. Pennebaker was meant to be One A.M., as in “one American movie”; but Godard quit the project and the U.S., where to his dismay he discovered that revolution wasn’t imminent, and Pennebaker edited Godard’s material, to which he and Richard Leacock even added a bit more, releasing the result as One P.M., as in “one parallel movie.” It’s a stunning mixture of cinéma-vérité, political theater, and interviews of key sixties figures.

The post D.A. Pennebaker & Richard Leacock & Jean-Luc Godard – 1 P.M. AKA 1PM (One Parallel Movie) (1972) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis
Stephen Sondheim’s musical “Company” opened on Broadway in the Spring of 1970, and tradition dictates that the cast recording is done on the first Sunday after opening night. D.A. Pennebaker, the now-legendary documentarian, filmed the production of the original cast recording, the back and forth between Sondheim and the performers, and the dynamic of trying to record live performance. The film climaxes with Elaine Stritch’s performance of “The Ladies Who Lunch”. The show won 6 Tony Awards including “Best Musical” and ran for two years on Broadway.

The making of the original cast recording was captured by award-winning documentary filmmaker D. A. Pennebaker shortly after the show opened on Broadway as a pilot for a TV series highlighting the different ways a cast-album recording session could be conducted. However, a week after the original screening, all the original producers for the proposed series were hired to go out to Hollywood and head up production at MGM. As nobody was left in New York to spearhead the project, the series was therefore scrapped. Only this lone pilot film remains of an idea never brought to fruition.

The 1970 film Original Cast Album: Company is filled with behind the scenes footage of the recording process, complete with much of the musical direction from and insight of Sondheim himself. Several of the show’s numbers are captured in the film—including “Another Hundred People”, “Getting Married Today”, and “Being Alive”—all recorded with a live orchestra, done in multiple takes over the course of several hours. Eventually only “The Ladies Who Lunch” remains to be recorded. It is now well past midnight, and Stritch, Sondheim, and the orchestra are all clearly suffering from the effects of the day’s marathon recording session. Stritch struggles repeatedly to record a satisfactory version of the song, even going so far as to slightly drop the key for a few takes in the hopes of producing a satisfactory take. Her voice and performance continue to degrade. As she struggles, some conflict is seen between Stritch, the producer Thomas Z. Shepard, and Sondheim.

As dawn breaks over the Columbia Records Big Church recording studio on 30th and 3rd, everyone agrees to call it a night. They record one last take of the orchestra by themselves and agree to have Stritch come back the following afternoon and record the vocal over the previously recorded orchestra bed. The finale of the film features a revitalized Stritch, still in makeup from a matinee performance of the show, successfully performing “The Ladies Who Lunch” in one take, as the sun sets over Kips Bay.

The post D.A. Pennebaker – Original Cast Album: Company (1970) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

On a beautiful June weekend in 1967, at the beginning of the Summer of Love, the Monterey International Pop Festival roared forward, capturing a decade’s spirit and ushering in a new era of rock and roll. Monterey featured career-making performances by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding, but they were just a few of the performers in a wildly diverse lineup that also included Simon and Garfunkel, the Mamas and the Papas, the Who, the Byrds, Hugh Masekela, and the extraordinary Ravi Shankar. With his characteristic vérité style—and a camera crew that included the likes of Albert Maysles and Richard Leacock—D. A. Pennebaker captured it all, immortalizing moments that have become legend: Pete Townshend smashing his guitar, Jimi Hendrix burning his, Mama Cass watching Janis Joplin’s performance in awe. The most comprehensive document of the Monterey Pop Festival ever produced features the film Monterey Pop along with every available complete performance filmed by Pennebaker and his crew, along with additional rare outtakes and supplements.

The post D.A. Pennebaker – Monterey Pop [+Extras] (1968) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
Portrait of the artist as a young man. In spring, 1965, Bob Dylan, 23, a pixyish troubador, spends three weeks in England. Pennebaker’s camera follows him from airport to hall, from hotel room to public house, from conversation to concert. Joan Baez and Donovan, among others, are on hand. It’s the period when Dylan is shifting from acoustic to electric, a transition that not all fans, including Baez, applaud. From the opening sequence of Dylan holding up words to the soundtrack’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” Dylan is playful and enigmatic.

The post D.A. Pennebaker – Don’t Look Back [+commentary] (1967) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

From Time Out Film Guide:
In 1968, Godard began work on a film in America (One AM or One American Movie) dealing with aspects of resistance and revolution. Dissatisfied with what he had shot, he abandoned the project. Pennebaker here assembles the Godard footage, together with his own coverage of Godard at work (One PM standing for either One Parallel Movie or One Pennebaker Movie). Although it may be dubious to show stuff that Godard had rejected, the film does manage to convey how he got his results. You can draw your own conclusions about his approach and why he abandoned the film.
