Cette histoire du tendre de San Francisco et du tremblement de terre de 1906 se concentre sur quatre personnages fortement dessinés joués par quatre grandes étoiles. Le plomb est bien sûr Clark Gable dans le rôle de Blackie Norton. Le prototype du rôle de Gable était Wilson Mizner, un joueur de la côte barbarie et un ami proche de Miss Loos. Mizner incarnait « l'imagination et le braggadoce » que Loos considérait comme caractéristique de San Francisco. Le pignon est parfait. Son Blackie Norton est un rogue galant, plein d'esprit, plein de vitalité. San Francisco est une célébration vigoureuse de la vie.
Jeanette MacDonald en tant que Mary Blake est une jeune beauté innocente qui pénètre dans la tanière inique de Norton et émerge sans souillure, qui nettoie en fait à la fois le den et le denmaster. Elle est une chanteuse d'opéra obligée de chanter des chansons de débauche dans le filet de filet. Elle triomphe, principalement grâce au soutien de Spencer Tracy, qui joue le père Tim Mullin. Tracy's Mullin est robuste, plein de vie, assez grand pour aimer le bien plus férocement qu'il ne condamne le mal. Et le mal dans le scénario n'est pas vraiment si mal. C'est Jack Holt en tant que slumlord Jack Burley, dont le crime majeur est la punition de l'esprit.
Comme les livres précédents de la série Screenplay Library — le scénario Blue Dahlia de Raymond Chandler et le scénario de F. Scott Fitzgerald pour les trois camarades d'Erich Maria Remarque, le script publié ici est la version originale et comprend toutes les scènes et reprises ajoutées. Sa publication est destinée au lecteur général intéressé par le film en tant que littérature et aux étudiants en écriture cinématographique et cinématographique.

Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. Photographs (illustrateur). 1st Edition. It kindled the ire of chief censor, Joseph Breen, but the San Francisco screenplay created by Anita Laos and collaborator Robert Hopkins has sparked excitement in moviegoers ever since because of its fidelity to life and because it is a lively story about colorful people in a romantic city. This story of the San Francisco Tenderloin and the 1906 earthquake centers on four strongly drawn characters played by four major stars. The lead, of course, is dark Gable as Blackie Norton. The prototype for Gable's role was Wilson Mizner, a gambler from the Barbary Coast and a close friend of Miss Laos and Hopkins. Mizner embodied the "imagination and braggadocio" that both writers saw as characteristic of San Francisco. Gable is perfect. His Blackie Norton is a gallant rogue, witty, full of vitality. San Francisco is a lusty celebration of life. Jeanette MacDonald as Mary Blake is an innocent young beauty who enters Norton's iniquitous den and emerges unsullied, who in fact cleans up both den and denmaster. She is an opera singer forced to belt out bawdy songs in the Tenderloin. She triumphs, mostly through the support of Spencer Tracy, who plays Father Tim Mullin. Tracy's Mullin is tough, full of life, big enough to love good more fiercely than he condemns evil. And evil in this screenplay is not realty so bad. It is Jack Holt as slumlord Jack Burley, whose major crime is puniness of spirit. San Francisco is a movie one sees as often as possible, but even a single viewing will etch it into the memory because, aMiss Loos says, "its authors had such deep feeling for their subject. We were homesick for San Francisco; we adored our pal who epitomized its lusty spirit, and thus were our sentiments strong enough to keep the movie alive and well in television through all these years." Like previous books in the Screenplay Library seriesâ"Raymond Chandler's Blue Dahlia and F. Scott Fitzgerald's screenplay for Erich Maria Remarque's Three Comrades â" the script published here is the original version and includes all added scenes and retakes. Its publication is intended for the general reader interested in the film as literature and for students of film and film writing. Anita Laos is one of the legendary professionals in the business, and her script serves as an excellent model for students. San Francisco has been reprinted in the format now used in screenwriting classes. Matthew J. Bruccoli, Jefferies Professor of English at the University of South Carolina, is the editor of the Lost American Fiction series and the Screenplay Library series, both published by Southern Illinois University Press. Among his recent books is "The Last of the Novelists": F. Scott Fitzgerald and "The Last Tycoon.â Price clipped. All orders shipped protected in a box. Book. N° de réf. du vendeur 000963
