Quote:
Sam and Felix are art thieves. Sam has just stolen a picture from a museum in Italy, but told Felix that it was lost in a boat accident. He wants copies made to sell while he will sell the original and get paid both ways. To find an artist, they pick the young, beautiful, naive Anna. When Anna has doubts, Sam strings her along and then marries her and go to Sicily on their honeymoon. Anna finds out that Sam is a thief and is very disappointed. Felix finds out that Sam has the original and is out to get it. The police are also waiting along with the buyer that Sam has for the painting.

Synopsis:
War veteran Rick Dadier is one of three new teachers hired at North Manual High School, an inner city boys school. This is his first teaching assignment, which he needs to support himself and his insecure pregnant wife, Anne. Despite Principle Warnecke’s assertions to the contrary, Dadier quickly learns that the rumors of student discipline problems at the school are indeed true. The established teachers at the school try to counsel the newcomers, all inexperienced in such situations, as how best to handle the rowdy students. Regardless, Dadier tries to exert discipline in his class, which provokes a violent response. Dadier believes the student leaders against him are Artie West, but more specifically Gregory Miller, who he thinks uses the fact of being black as a means of racial provocation. Dadier has to decide either to leave and teach at a “real” school, or stay and figure out how to get through to his students. If he decides to stay, he has to figure out who the real disruptive influences are, especially as they have resorted to attacks of a personal nature that affect especially Anne.

Plot
A crooked cop tries to stick up a drug dealer in Central Park, and is shot dead. The drug dealer is brought to trial, but Weller becomes convinced that he didn’t fire first, and that the incident is the tip of an iceberg of corruption in the police department. His friend Elliott becomes convinced of the same thing, and together they work inside and outside the law to help the defendant beat a murder rap and expose other corrupt cops. Weller has some nice moments in the courtroom, although his legal style is so informal and disorganized it’s hard to believe

Quote:
The triumphs and failures of middle age as seen through the eyes of runaway American housewife Mary Wilson (Jean Simmons), a woman who believes that ultimate reality exists above and beyond the routine procedures of conscious, uninspired, everyday life. She feels cheated by an older generation that taught her to settle for nothing less than storybook finales, people who are disillusioned and restless and don’t know why, people for whom life holds no easy answers. Great supporting cast includes John Forsythe, Teresa Wright, Lloyd Bridges, Shirley Jones, Bobby Darin, Tina Louise, Dick Shawn, and Nanette Fabray.

The post Richard Brooks – The Happy Ending (1969) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

synopsis
Theresa (Diane Keaton) is a dedicated school-teacher of deaf children during the day. Once she moves out of her parents’ place, she chooses to spend her evenings seeing adult films, cruising bars, and looking for abusive men with whom she can engage in ever more violent sexual encounters. She furthers her self-destruction by a rather aimless intake of drugs and alcohol, leading to both demeaning and dangerous situations, completely at odds with her daytime commitments. In need of a father figure, she makes herself available to numerous men and eventually pays a price for her hedonistic behaviour.

about the film
Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Judith Rossner, the sexual themes sparked a public controversy when the film was first released, and the film contains one of the most memorable endings in cinema history. This cast includes Diane Keaton, Tuesday Weld, Richard Gere, Tom Berenger and William Atherton. (And yes, that is Brian Dennehy – making his screen debut – about to kiss Diane Keaton’s nipple in the screenshot below.)

trivia
– Mike Nichols, Sydney Pollack and Roman Polanski all turned down the opportunity to direct the film.
– screen debut of Brian Dennehy (and also introducing for the first time in major roles Richard Gere, Tom Berenger and LeVar Burton).
– Diane Keaton won Best Actress Oscar for the other film she starred in this year (“Annie Hall”).
– The events in the book and the film were inspired by the brutal real-life murder in 1973 of 27-yr-old New York City schoolteacher Roseann Quinn.
– The film has never been released on DVD, and is not available on the home video market (probably due to music licensing, and the fact that Donna Summer’s estate (once she caught Christianity) won’t allow her songs to be used in this film anymore). It did have a VHS and LD release, and these are now collectors’ items.
