we hired a string trio from antares musicians for our may 1st wedding . our trio played during our ceremony and reception and they were incredible - our guests are still talking about how beautiful the music was . our contact was tammy . from start to finish tammy was amazing . i picked two songs for our processional and recessional that weren’t in their music library and tammy worked with me to find the arrangements online so i wouldn’t have to pay the $ 50 fee for antares to arrange the piece . at our reception , my mother requested a song and our trio found the song online and played it for her , all within minutes ! we are completely satisfied with antares - not only were they wonderful musicians but were also lovely people . thank you so much antares for making our wedding so beautiful ! - emily and steven 05 / 01 / 16

the antares musicians were amazing . they played every song we selected and sounded amazing . they made our ceremony and cocktail hour even better . it was definitely worth it and one of our favorite memories from the wedding .

in the end , though , it’s a bit trite . antares stumbles so badly in its first story that it’s difficult to ascertain when it regains its footing . that’s likely because the film never fully recovers , and what comes through clearly , a meticulously shot examination of sex and social status , never feels particularly urgent . when the final shots light up the screen , they are closer to vacuous than revelatory .

part two of the film is called “claire . ” justine has now become so depressed that she can not even walk to the bath under her own power , or perform the simplest activities .

the antares musicians were a delight to word with and truly professional . it made for a very smooth flow to the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour . i would definitely refer them to other clients . anne berman special event & wedding consultant

antares did a great job providing our ceremony and cocktail hour music . they are really talented and have an awesome music selection . they are also really organized and made planning the ceremony / cocktail hour music portion of our wedding a breeze . they provided us with a detailed questionnaire which we completed . from there antares had all of the information they needed . they prepared a cue sheet which they shared with us , and on the wedding day everything went off without a hitch .

the film is a rich feast visually . kirstin dunst won the award at cannes for best actress , and charlotte gainsbourg is every bit as good . although the subject matter of melancholia is certainly unusual , the film itself is probably the most traditional lars von trier has ever done . he has said that , ” a film should be like a stone in your shoe . ” i , however , did not feel the slightest rub in my shoes . the film’s stylistic accessibility gives it a universality , and promotes a sympathetic identification with the characters , that is not always the case in von trier’s oeuvre . melancholia has a deeper continuing resonance , for me , than any of his other films . it totally absorbs you and compels rumination about the deepest questions in life . parts of the film that von trier considered a parody of superficial , upper middle - class life , actually , ( as in the way ingmar bergman often used the same milieu , ) open up many touchstones with everyone’s emotional experiences . families are families in the end , and how they deal with the messy stuff of life , offers much that compels and preoccupies us all . melancholia is a film that washes over you and through you and leaves you deeply moved and thrilled . the experience of it is more like viewing and inhabiting a piece of art , than merely watching a movie .

with all the raw , animalistic rutting that opens " antares " ( followed by fits of jealousy , betrayal , bigotry , screaming , lying , cursing , attempted suicide , vehicular mayhem , and physical and emotional bullying ) , there is something eerily calm about this strangely compelling film . perhaps " calm " is not so much the word as " deadpan . " it is the tension , in fact , between matter - of - fact presentation and volcanic emotional content that creates its perverse appeal .

a string trio from antares played for our ceremony and cocktail hour , and they were wonderful . tammy was our point person before the wedding , and she was incredibly responsive and helpful with picking out our processional and recessional music , and she was also really communicative with our day of coordinator about cueing the ceremony . it’s very clear that antares musicians have a ton of experience with weddings . i didn’t get to hear much of the pre ceremony or cocktail hour music , but i received so many compliments about the fun music they played . we asked them to play more contemporary music , and our guests loved hearing instrumental versions of many songs , especially the game of thrones theme song ! i highly recommend antares – they’re incredibly professional and experienced , and of course , their music was top notch .

this is from the film movement club , a club that puts out a film every month to its members and i have yet to see a bad one . this movie is from austria , and what we have is moments in the life of 3 women who live in an apartment complex , one women a nurse cheating on her husband , one women who is lying to her boyfriend that she is pregnant . and the other women trying to get rid of her husband . all three stores intersect with each other . i found it enjoyable . and if you get the chance for a quiet night alone , this is a good film . 4 1 / 2 stars put it in the collection .

if you ' d like to feel like an absolute dream on your wedding day , please choose antares musicians . on our wedding day , antares did our ceremony music . it was absolutely beautiful . they were sooo easy to work with and started and ended all of the ceremony music with excellent precision . there is definitely a difference between the songs they played so beautifully themselves versus music coming from a speaker ( not saying that ' s bad at all ) . but if you ' ve got an ear for clear , beautiful music - i would highly suggest them !

götz spielmann ' s antares is one of those films that weaves together a triptych of largely unrelated stories featuring largely unrelated characters , so naturally , it begins with a car crash . the whole short cuts / magnolia / amores perros genre relies on the idea that lives only have meaning inasmuch as they ' re like other lives , and the quickest way to show how everyone ' s the same is to inflict a shared injury , via natural disaster or man - made one . antares ' protagonists span the social classes , from schubert - loving medical professionals to shopgirls who listen to russian pop songs , but the characters all live in the same blocky viennese apartments , and by the end of the film , they ' ve been bonded by a metal - on - metal collision and a none - too - tragic fatality .

in melancholia , he strikes an elegiac tone , shot through with mystery and nameless loss . the film is quite strange , and was about half an hour too long , but on the whole it was compelling , and hard to look away from .

morzé ' s trysts are depicted explicitly , and the intense eroticism of those early sex scenes pretty much derails antares . in the first story , spielmann makes the irrationality of desire almost tactile , fogging the fact that little else is really going on . stories two and three contain far more plot , but the respective lack of sensationalism produces diminishing returns . all that ' s left to ponder are minor details , like whether the title—which refers to the name of a double star on the verge of supernova—is meant to have any relation to the way so many of the characters in antares look alike . and spielmann seems to be making a point about how in the modern age , cell phones offer a mistaken illusion of connection . for the most part , though , antares is uneven and piddling , and suffers from the affliction that it depicts : a terminal case of bad timing .

i agree with you about all . this film really sticks in my mind , in terms of visual images , characters , plot . i just replay so many of the scenes in my head . it’s bizzareness and awkwardness some how work to it’s benefit .

like amores perros and 21 grams before it ( and crash just a month after it ) , antares is a film about interconnectedness that relies heavily on a car accident . antares begins with its crash and then takes us to a time before it where eva ( petra morzé ) , a content nurse with a husband and daughter , begins an affair with the victim from the opening scene . after telling the story from her point of view , the story shifts to sonja ( susanne wuest ) , who has been falsely telling her boyfriend marco ( dennis cubic ) that she is pregnant and suspects him of cheating ( she is eventually proven correct ) . the final tale is alex ( andreas kiendl ) , a cruel realtor who stood up the eva and her husband and also the father of the child of the woman with whom marco is cheating .

( also in toronto film festival - - contemporary world cinema . ) running time : 120 min .

the first section of the film is entitled “justine , ” after the kirsten dunst character , and chronicles her wedding at the opulent , castle home of her sister , claire , played by charlotte gainsbourg , and her wealthy husband , john , played by keiffer sutherland .

the antares musicians completely delivered on our wedding day . they performed both at the ceremony and during the cocktail hour . several of our guests ( and our photographer ) noted that it was the best music they ' d heard at a wedding . in the weeks leading up to the big day , their coordinator ( jill ) was highly organized and communicative , making sure we understood our options for the playlist and giving informed suggestions where we needed help . if you ' re looking for a string quartet , especially one that can play the beatles and beach boys with the same skill as classical tunes , antares is a great choice .

the film presents the only danger melancholia poses to earth is by direct collision . however , even a flyby could potentially be disastrous . it might " slingshot " the earth out of orbit , and the tidal forces could also wreak havoc , depending on melancholia ' s mass .

i had the same fear going in , and my reaction was just like yours , as well . it’s amazing that someone can do a movie about the end of the world and have it not be depressing . it’s part of what makes melancholia such a unique and original film .

fan disservice : given what her character ' s going through and also the tone of the film , kirsten dunst ' s nude scenes are not supposed to be sexy . you have to give credit for kirsten going further than she ' s ever been in her career , though .

we hired the antares musician ' s 3 piece flute and strings trio for our september 12th wedding . my family originally wanted us to hire a band for the reception which can be very costly , so our happy medium was live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour . my husband and i were very pleased with the quality of service and professionalism we received from start to finish . my emails and phone calls were always returned in a timely matter , and the music that was played throughout was absolutely beautiful . we received many compliments from guests afterwards . i would definitely recommend the antares musicians to future brides looking to incorporate live music into their wedding day .

i appreciate your comment about the plot spoiling . i thought long and hard about it , and even disagreed with my in house editor - my wife - about it . it felt natural in trying to express my reactions to the film , but i’m having second thoughts… i might revise .

antares did such an amazing job at my wedding . they played all of our musical selections beautifully , we got tons of compliments all night . jill was a pleasure to work with and answered all of my questions in a timely manner . if i had to plan my wedding over again they would still be one of the fist vendors i booked !

we used the antares musicians for our ceremony and they were an amazing addition to our wedding . they provided beautiful music and were so easy to work with ! they are responsive , detail oriented and professional . we couldn ' t have asked for anything more ! ( side note : guests could not stop talking about how much they enjoyed the music )

viennese director goetz spielmann , who helmed the impressively noirish “the stranger” ( 2000 ) , brings the same coolly analytical gaze to more complex , subtly interlocking material in “antares . ” centered on the love lives of three different women in an anonymous housing project , and fanning out into a group portrait of sexual and emotional follies , cleverly constructed script [ … ]

the antares trio created a perfect musical performance for our wedding and the reception and dinner that followed the ceremony . accomplished professionals and highly talented performers , these musicians provided the elegance of classical pieces to underscore the formal commitment of bride and groom to each other and then provided a robust repertoire of show tunes and popular music to animate the revelry after the ceremony .

the film begins with this gorgeous , slow motion , cinematic ballet of cosmic death , choreographed to wagner’s tristan and isolde . as viewed from outer space , this cosmic dance of death is almost sensual , and certainly as lyrical as anything in kubrick’s “2001 . ” it’s both a prelude to the main body of the film , and a documentation of the end . before the first character comes on screen , we have already seen their eventual fate . that first introduction of characters is similarly done in an expressionistic , slow motion scene that visually weaves the fate of the main character to the planet’s own inevtiable attraction to a gravitational field bigger than its own .

we couldn ' t have been happier with antares musicians . we initially booked them for our ceremony for our black - tie wedding . they not only learned our favorite songs for our processional and recessional , they played our cocktail hour as well with very little notice ! very professional , fantastic song selections , we were just thrilled . added fantastic atmosphere and made our ceremony unforgettable .

i have never seen a film that left such a long lasting impression on all my senses as melancholia . and , in spite of my trepidation that it was going to be an immensely depressing movie , somehow it’s not . as you pointed out , so much more than a movie – a real lasting work of true art .

either way , what saves antares is precisely who is connected . our characters range from store clerks to realtors to nurses who don’t have to think twice before looking for another apartment , and whether they are austrian or yugoslavian , they can be both sexually frustrated or unfaithful . furthermore , these characters tend to look a great deal alike—the women are very blonde , and the men are neither tall , clean - shaven and combed or scraggly with facial hair—and it’s an effective way of literalizing their commonalities . regardless of social status , antares ’ cast are grappling with the same issues and playing roles , however small , in the lives of each other . spielmann may not do any more than say we are all connected , but he makes sure to be inclusive about it .

but spielmann’s other emphatic mark , his fascination with sexual betrayal and satisfaction , actually bogs down the film’s inclusive nature . eva’s story is largely without plot and spends much of its time with extremely graphic sex scenes , a decision which paradoxically disconnects eva from the following two stories . after emphatically declaring that the film will be no frills when it comes to portrayal of sex , it doesn’t take long to backpedal , and the unintended elephant in the room is what makes sex between these two so special ? is it supposed to be more honest or is it supposed to be more disturbing ? why ? certainly , or at least hopefully , it is not because of class .

as unceremoniously as he arrived , tomasz departs , precipitating a not entirely unexpected change in eva ' s relationship with her family . spielmann ' s film , at this point , picks up its second thread , one concerning a grocery clerk named sonja ( susanne wuest ) and her philandering , immigrant husband , marco ( dennis cubic ) . while the director has spoken of how " antares " is about " people trying to break out of their loneliness , " here that effort manifests itself in sonja ' s pretending to be pregnant to hang onto her man . it ' s not enough , of course - - how could it be ? - - but what turns out to be enough , in the end , may surprise you .

not even bothering with the accent : everyone in the film uses their natural accent , so it ' s not clear where the film takes place . claire and justine are sisters with british parents , but dunst as justine uses her american accent . she works for a swedish man who has a nephew with an american accent . the resort ' s butler is danish and the wedding has a german planner . claire is married to an american man and their child has an american accent , while gainsbourg as claire herself doesn ' t hide the fact that she ' s of mixed anglo - french origin , speaking in a bit of a ( hardly discernible ) french accent every now and then .

it captures the tragic - romantic - depressive mood that permeates the movie . in fact , the idea for the film was generated by a therapist’s suggestion to von trier , ( who famously suffers from depression and anxiety disorders , ) that depressed people often remain calm in highly stressful situations . it doesn’t get more stressful than the literal end of the world .

the antares musicians were absolutely my favorite aspect of my wedding . the string trio was perfect and were such an elegant touch for our big day . from performing all you need is love at the end of our ceremony to playing fun songs like sweet caroline and the game of thrones theme song during cocktail hour , everything was just perfect . i ' m still hearing compliments about the music from friends and family .

götz spielmann ( b . 1961 , wels ) grew up in vienna , studying screenwriting and directing there . his films include erwin and julia ( 1990 ) , the neighbor ( 1991 ) , this naïve desire ( 1993 ) , fear of the idyll ( 1994 ) , the stranger ( 1999 ) , daybreak ( 2001 ) and antares ( 2004 ) . he has also recently written and directed for the stage .

she comes to the castle to live with claire , john , and leo . gradually with claire’s nursing she becomes better . the focus now shifts to what was thought previously to be the star , antares , and is now revealed as a huge planet on a rogue orbit through the galaxy , called melancholia , because of it’s blue color . as it becomes clearly visible on its own , everyone flock’s to john’s telescope .

the second part of melancholia belongs to claire ( charlotte gainsbourg ) . justine has come to live with claire and john following her wedding , and she has disintegrated so precipitously that she needs help undressing and bathing . claire is worried . john is too , but he is more taken up by a celestial event that seems to be happening , an event that justine had already noticed on her own . she had glanced up at the dawn sky and saw that a star is suddenly missing from scorpio . antares , the brightest star in the constellation , is no longer there . apparently , a planet is now blocking antares , a planet no one had heard of before . it is named melancholia , and the scientists predict that its trajectory may very well end up interfering with the earth , although it may well miss the earth , too . no one is sure what will happen .

above , the couple arriving two hours late for their wedding party , and , above , right , pausing to stare at a strange celestial object , with claire and john , the evening’s hosts . while everyone else seems transfixed , claire stares away , tensely and with , as it turns out , appropriately ominous , premonition . john , an amateur astronomer , explains that the object is the star antares , hidden by the sun , and harmless .

the musician at my church dropped the ball and i had to book ceremony musicians less than a month before my wedding , so understandably i was a little frantic . after sending around tons of inquiries , jill responded within a few hours , we had a phone call that evening , and i booked the antares musicians within a few days . we had a trio - violin , flute , and cello - and jill helped me pick the music , as well .

this was truly a great investment . i hadn ' t seen musicians play at any other wedding i ' ve been to , but i am beyond happy that my husband and i chose to have them at our wedding . they were absolutely perfect and also a phenomenal value . so many aspects of planning a wedding seem overpriced , but the antares musicians were not only reasonably priced , but they were worth so much more and were a perfect fit for our wedding .

when i began the wedding planning process , i had never thought about having musicians at my wedding . the antares musicians appeared on a recommended vendor list from our venue , so my husband and i decided to check out their website . we were instantly delighted listening to their clips , as there was not only classical music but more contemporary songs as well , like from the beatles . we decided to go for it and hired them to perform our reception and cocktail hour .

the antares musicians played for our wedding ceremony and a 1 - hour cocktail reception . they were outstanding ! ! ! the live music added something special to our wedding . they added a personal touch to the ceremony that wouldn ' t have been present with a dj . the musicians were wonderful and accommodated our special requests for a couple of tunes that we both liked . we highly recommend these musicians - - - - - our ceremony was beautiful and we loved the music .

this 2 - kilometre long route starts from kościuszko square and leads to the foot of kamienna góra . you can continue walking along the beach to the cliff in redłowo , the pier in orłowo or even as far as the neighbouring resort of sopot . gdynia is also associated with the polish film festival , becoming a polish cannes each year in spring . the audience can attend festival shows and meetings with visiting movie stars .

if you’re lars von trier , the world ends in total destruction , as it both implodes and explodes , in the opening sequence of his new film , melancholia . the earth’s atmosphere is ripped away by the gravitational pull of a wandering , giant blue planet , named melancholia , which literally consumes the earth , as it draws our planet in to the point of implosion / explosion , and burns it up . point , fire .

in a way , the bang ( which is , at the same time , a whimper ) that closes this episode brings the film full circle , tying up its disparate elements - - fear , anger , sadness , hurt , lust , jealousy - - in a single , if not especially tidy bundle . it may not offer any profound insights into human misery except this one : we all , at one point or another , are touched by it .

the film is divided into two halves , titled " justine " and " claire . " it appears that the two sisters exchange personalities , but to no great effect . maybe the approach of an overwhelming event has dissolved the membranes of personalities . notice how jack , the ad man , continues to place importance on his ad slogan . and how gaby lashes out at the very notion of a wedding or a party . there is displacement here that is frightening .

sliding scale of idealism versus cynicism : pretty much breaks the scale on the cynicism side . it doesn ' t really matter that the world is going to end and possibly all life in the universe will be extinguished ; life is so shitty and devoid of meaning that it ' s a good , perhaps even beautiful thing . sort of justified , in that the whole scenario is a metaphor for depression , except that the director is pretty much romanticizing it with this film .

viennese director goetz spielmann , who helmed the impressively noirish “the stranger” ( 2000 ) , brings the same coolly analytical gaze to more complex , subtly interlocking material in “antares . ” centered on the love lives of three different women in an anonymous housing project , and fanning out into a group portrait of sexual and emotional follies , cleverly constructed script overstays its welcome in an unnecessary coda but for most of the going is involving drama , with fine performances from the ensemble cast . strong fest item could secure some european arthouse exposure , followed by specialized tube sales .

the grittiness of the special effects portraying the approach of melancholia adds to the dazzling look of the film , and to a sense of intensifying horror and doom . the sound drops out of the picture in the second half , and the air is filled with a barely concealed dull roar , the roar of the planet ' s approach . it ' s very eerie . claire weeps for the inevitable destruction of the planet earth , weeping for herself , for her son , for the end of everything .

the final chapter spins off sonja and marco ' s dysfunctional relationship into the sick dynamic between the woman marco has been having an affair with ( martina zinner ) and her real estate agent ex - husband , alex ( andreas kiendl ) , a package of damaged goods if ever there was one . angry with the world ( immigrants , his ex , his clients , himself ) , he ' s a walking time bomb , or , to pick up the metaphor suggested by the film ' s title , a star destined to explode as a supernova .

melancholia is a 2011 speculative fiction film written and directed by lars von trier . it mainly focuses on the relationship between the two sisters justine and claire , played by kirsten dunst and charlotte gainsbourg . the movie is divided into two parts , the first about justine ' s wedding , the second about the upcoming fly - by of the rogue planet melancholia that ' s drifting through the solar system . the focus lies on how the characters relate to the events surrounding them , from the mundane event of a wedding to the possibility of a planetary collision .

in any film involving the destruction of the globe , we know that , if it is not to be saved , there must be a " money shot " depicting the actual cataclysm . i doubt any could do better than von trier does here . there are no tidal waves . no animals fleeing through burning forests . no skyscrapers falling . none of that easy stuff . no , there is simply a character standing on a hill and staring straight at the impending doom , as von trier shows it happening in what logically must be slow motion , with a fearsome preliminary merging of planetary atmospheres .

the opening of lars von trier ' s melancholia is magnificent , reminiscent of a high - concept couture spread in vogue italia , with excruciating slo - mo and a parade of surrealistic tableaux , all to the bombastic accompaniment of wagner ' s " tristan and isolde . " there is an intensifying burn as the film builds to its apocalyptic second half , a powerful and dreamy statement of the inevitability of disintegration and destruction , as seen through the deadened - by - sorrow eyes of kirsten dunst as justine , whose wedding sparks a cloud of despair in her so deep that she cannot be reached .

this is the first time we see justine ( kirsten dunst . ) she seems to both strain against and also be pulled toward an invisble force , just like the earth is , in the heavens above . the first part of the movie is the story of justine’s wedding . her mental illness , more than just normal depression is on display early , and in fact the wedding night ends with the marriage and justine’s career in tatters . this beautiful image , left , is part of an early montage that reflects a sense of the morbid fairy tale that is about to unfold . the film’s visual style is ” a clash between what is romantic and grand and stylized , and then some form of reality , ” according to von trier . yet the melding of styles of kubrick’s sensual , fluid , visual imagery and bergman’s intense , elegiac , naturalistic acting ( enhanced by a lot of hand held camera shots ) blend quite effectively throughout the film . the mood and composition of the shot above is certainly a reference to the well known pre - raphaelite masterpiece by john millais , called , ophelia , below . it was painted in 1852 , and is an illustration of the death of ophelia from shakespeare’s hamlet .

working with the antares musicians was such a breeze ! the value for the service they provided was phenomenal . i wish i had an excuse to have another event because i would hire them again in a heartbeat ! jill was very responsive through email and offered suggestions when i did not know the best course of action . tammy , shane , and the third violinist ( i can ' t remember his name ! ! ) were so friendly and kind . my wedding guests commented on how lovely they sounded , and how classy they made the wedding feel . i cannot thank them all enough for their professionalism , talent , and the skill they brought to our wedding day . thank you ! ! !

constructed as three interlocking stories featuring the residents of an austrian apartment complex - - in which minor characters from one vignette turn up later as major characters in another and vice versa - - writer - director gotz spielmann ' s drama begins with a kind of muted bang , in more ways than one . after a short prologue that ends abruptly when a car slams into a taxicab carrying a man flipping through some dirty photos , " antares " begins with the tale of eva ( petra morze ) , a married nurse who , while heading home to her family after working the night shift , encounters a taciturn man ( andreas patton ) she may or may not know from somewhere - - although we recognize him from the cab - - waiting for her in the hospital lobby .

this film tells three intertwined stories of the residents of an apartment building . this style of filmmaking has become popular of late , following the early success of robert altman ( " nashville " and " short cuts " ) and alejandro inarritu ( " amores perros " and " babel " ) . this one , however , falls far short of those films . of the three episodes , the first one is the most interesting , featuring a nurse in a loveless marriage having a brief affair . the other two episodes concern low - lifes making each other ' s lives miserable . neither the characters nor the stories are particularly interesting . of course everything comes together in a predictable finish .

as justine has improved , claire has become increasingly agitated and fearful that the world is coming to an end . she has started obsessively doing internet research and finds data that shows melancholia is on a collision course with the earth , and that john’s analysis is wrong . at first , the collision theory is portrayed as a kook conspiracy notion , but eventually , is proven to be true . the characters reactions to this reality and their varying levels of acceptance of it , takes up the last third of the film . john pretends it’s not true . claire’s agitation and fear keep mounting for herself and her child , while justine becomes almost calmly philosophical and accepting , even as the climate changes and strange precipitation falls from the sky

dunst , whose persona on film has often been effervescent and humorous , is a revelation in melancholia . her depression is tangible , seen in the dark shadows in her eyes , the flatness of her affect . she portrays a woman in the grip of something she cannot even name . in one scene , she goes into john ' s study , where there are art books on display along the shelves . the pages are all open to colorful abstract paintings , cheerful blocks of reds and blues . in the grip of melancholia , she flips through all of the books , looking for paintings that more accurately reflect her mindset , dark disturbing images of death and torture . dunst goes very deep in melancholia , and her performance is mysterious , compelling , and emotional . it is her best work yet .

if i were choosing a director to make a film about the end of the world , von trier the gloomy dane might be my first choice . the only other name that comes to mind is werner herzog ' s . both understand that at such a time silly little romantic subplots take on a vast irrelevance . doctor johnson told boswell : " depend upon it , sir , when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight , it concentrates his mind wonderfully . " in the cast of von trier ' s characters , impending doom seems to have created a mental state of dazed detachment . they continue to act as if their personal concerns have the slightest relevance . von trier has never made a more realistic domestic drama , depicting a family that is dysfunctional not in crazy ways but in ways showing a defiant streak of intelligent individualism .

aradhana ( english : worship ) is a 1969 indian romantic drama film directed by shakti samanta , starring sharmila tagore and rajesh khanna .

it was voted as the best film of the year by the filmfare awards .

sharmila tagore would win her first filmfare best actress award for playing the lead role in this film .

originally released in hindi and dubbed in bengali , aradhana 's huge success led to two remakes , both starring vanisri in tagore 's role : the tamil film sivagamiyin selvan ( 1974 ) and the telugu film kannavari kalalu ( 1974 ) .

this film is counted among the 17 consecutive hit films of rajesh khanna between 1969 and 1971 , by adding the two hero films marayada and andaz to the 15 consecutive solo hits he gave from 1969 to 1971 .

1969 - film aradhana and the song roop tera mastana represent another important milestone in the evolution of hindi film music . true , it is the song which began the superstar - innings for rajesh khanna , but even more importantly , it is the song which resurrected kishore kumar’s singing career .

shakti samanta’s romantic drama aradhana ( 1969 ) , which traces the journey of an unwed mother , was a landmark film in more ways than one . its lead actor , rajesh khanna , sealed his superstar status with the movie . kishore kumar’s career as a playback singer turned around . the film also marked the beginning of a strong second wind in sd burman’s career as a music composer .

ajanabee is a romantic bollywood film produced by girija samanta and directed by shakti samanta . the film stars rajesh khanna and zeenat aman .

[ the sky entertainment dvd of aradhana features a good quality print of the film . optional english subtitles are , happily , provided for all song lyrics as well as for dialogues . ]

samanta later teamed up tagore with rajesh khanna for movies such as aradhana ( 1969 ) and amar prem ( 1972 ) . other directors paired them together in safar ( 1970 ) , daag ( 1973 ) , and maalik ( 1972 ) . the pair of khanna - sharmila gave 7 box office hits – aradhana , safar , amar prem , chhoti bahu , daag , “raja rani” and avishkaar .

many of them . i divided his life by decades - - the ' 60s , ' 70s and ' 80s . one got an idea from the ' 60s by seeing aradhana , baharon ke sapne and aakhri khat . but there is a film between raaz and aradhana called aurat . it has padmini as the lead .

in their time , producer - director shakti samanta and actor rajesh khanna were the best of friends and worked on eight super - hit films together . and though most veteran actors today are against their hit films being remade , khanna asked samanta’s son ashim to make a modern version of aradhana ( 1969 ) , perhaps their most memorable film together .

ittefaq is a 1969 film directed by yash chopra , produced by b . r . chopra starring rajesh khanna and nanda in lead roles . the music was composed by salil choudhury . it was a remake of 1965 hollywood film signpost to murder . the film won two filmfare awards i . e . best director ( yash chopra ) and best sound ( m . a . shaikh ) . the other nominations for the film were for best actor ( rajesh khanna ) , best actress ( nanda ) and best supporting actress ( bindu ) .

about a year ago , i chanced upon an online discussion that centred around the chartbuster mere sapnon ki rani from the 1969 film aradhana . no , it wasn’t about how the song , which spiralled a then little - known rajesh khanna to dizzy fame , was shot without sharmila tagore ( common fodder for many a film trivia conversation ) . this debate , a little more unusually , focused on the book that the coquettishly dimpling tagore is shown to be reading in the train as khanna serenades her from a jeep running alongside .

aap ki kasam is a 1974 hindi film directed and produced by j . om prakash .

i f it weren ' t for gulshan nanda , aradhana - - among samanta ' s signature works - - would have never been made , " says ashim . " just a day before aradhana was to start , surinder kapoor ( producer and anil kapoor ' s father ) invited dad to see his new film ek shriman ek shrimati starring shashi kapoor . " dad was shocked to see that the climax was the same as aradhana ' s . it was possible because both films were written by the same writer - - sachin bhowmick . the next day , samanta had made up his mind to scrap aradhana . " it so happened that writers gulshan nanda and madhusudan kalelkar dropped into his office that day and they noticed that he was tense . " originally , aradhana was to have rajesh khanna die at the interval point and a new hero would come in . instead , gulshan nanda suggested why not have a double role of father and son . dad loved the idea and went on to make the film . "

while actors spend years and do films before that one elusive hit that launches them to stardom , in case of rajesh khanna success came in only with his fourth film — aradhana ( 1969 ) . as arun driving an open - jeep , serenading vandana ( sharmila tagore ) to the strains of ‘ mere sapno ki rani kab aayegee tu . . . ’ through the winding routes of a hill train in darjeeling , he became an instant favourite . also in the film , rajesh khanna made pre - marital sex permissible for the first time on the screen in an age of conventions and conformism . aradhana catapulted him to glory and made him the first superstar of the bollywood . his do raaste was released within weeks of aradhana and he was established as a major star with both the films celebrating a silver jubilee . after this , there was no looking back for khanna who became a phenomenon .

he first achieved acclaim in aradhana ( worship , 1969 ) , playing two roles – the husband and grown - up son , both air force pilots , of the established star sharmila tagore . notable among the romantic drama ' s musical numbers was the sexy roop tera mastana ( your beauty is intoxicating ) , recorded in a single take , a first for hindi cinema .

hindi cinema has done much to acknowledge the music composer’s importance . a cursory look at film credit sequences over several decades shows the composer’s name generally appearing just before the director’s , thus highlighting his eminence as the second - most important technician in the hindi film universe . even today , music maestro ar rahman’s presence in a forthcoming release is enough to create a buzz about the film . to this extent , a film’s musical score is not just an avenue to create excitement or to advertise the film , but also an opportunity for film producers to sell music rights and recover costs .

no , not at all . amar prem may feel a bit dated , but if you see aradhana today it works well . namak haram is far more relevant today .

doli ( 1969 ) by adurthi subba rao kaka once again plays a middle class hero , this time round romancing babita kapoor . however , things get a bit complicated when prem chopra arrives on the scene .

ashim was planning his son aditya’s acting debut and thought about casting him in the remake of aradhana . “but i realised that people would compare him to rajesh khanna . so i am launching him in yeh jo mohabbat hai and making aradhana later ( with aditya in the lead ) , ” he says . ashim has also spoken to khanna about another film , which will have the actor in an important role , but it depends on the actor’s health .

aradhana was khanna’s third film and his biggest hit . the actor essays the role of an airforce officer , arun varma , who has a secret wedding with vandana ( sharmila tagore ) , and dies in an air - crash leaving a pregnant wife behind . in the film , he also plays the son suraj , who after many hardships , finally accepts vandana as his mother .

kati patang is a romantic film directed by shakti samanta . it stars asha parekh , rajesh khanna .

? while the film’s publicity before its release had pictures of guru dutt and waheeda rehman featured prominently on its posters , ludhianvi’s lyrics were quite the rage after the film’s release . one advertisement even propped up

commercially , aradhana and kati patang did exceptionally well , featuring rajesh khanna at his romantic best with a soundtrack that remains at the very core of why we love those two films .

do raaste ( 1969 ) by raj khosla kaka plays the dutiful son and mumtaz his love interest . the story revolves round the challenges faced by a lower middle class family , and places a premium on oldfashioned values .

most of them are available on dvds because there is a great interest in old hindi cinema . of course , many of them are on youtube channels , including aradhana and amar prem .

" while dad was upset and had decided to move on from aradhana , gulshan nanda told him not to fret and advised him to start another film . for that purpose , he narrated the story of kati patang . " dad jumped at it . first , they reworked the second half of aradhana in the next few hours and then , they discussed kati patang at length . two of his finest films were created in that evening , within a gap of few hours , " says ashim .

it is not difficult to find out whether the selected hindi film is a dubbed version or whether there is a tamil version of the particular film . to say otherwise is to say that those who are responsible are idiots . are they ?

avtaar is a 1983 hindi film directed and produced by mohan kumar . the film stars rajesh khanna and shabana azmi in lead roles . avtaar was rajesh khanna’s biggest hit film in terms of box office collections after his bad phase from 1976 - 1978 . rajesh khanna was nominated for the 1984 filmfare award for best actor and the 1984 bfja awards for best actor .

films like aradhana , amar prem , kati patang , kashmir ki kali and an evening in paris were not only blockbusters of their age but have also transcended their time to find resonance among viewers of different generations .

now here’s a thought . what if the latter part of aradhana had indeed leapt into the eighties ? what imaginary war situation would the scriptwriter have conjured up for the junior iaf officer ? back in 1969 when the film was made , no one could have guessed that the last official war of the century would be fought two years later , and that all subsequent hostilities calling for the army’s intervention would have to do with cross - border terrorism , internal insurrections and the like . decades later , it would indeed have been diverting to check if at all the scriptwriter’s imagination coincided with reality .

after aradhana ' s super success , khanna once again worked with the director shakti samanta in this movie . with its complicated but engrossing storyline , kati patang went on to become one of the top grossers of the year .

rajesh khanna , affectionately called as kaka ji , has given many hits in his career . the heartthrob of million fans entered hindi cinema in 1960’s . he made his film debut in 1966 with chetan anand directed film ‘aakhri khat . aakhri khat was india’s entry for the best foreign language film at the 40th oscar academy awards in 1967 . it was a great achievement for a new comer like rajesh khanna .

“aradhana” , a major hit of 1969 , was the main turning point in the careers of both rajesh khanna & kishore kumar . the rich & melodious songs of the movie became a national craze in the year of its release . the song “mere sapno ki rani” is still used as an introduction for kishore da and rajesh khanna in various stage shows and tv programmes even today . apart from the musical merit of the movie , it also had a career best performance from sharmila tagore in the tough role of a sacrificing mother , for which she deservingly won filmfare best actress award at that time .

recently mtv telecast kaadalan , roja and bombay , all hindi versions , with the usual tags saying " subtitled in sinhala . " last week , itn telecast aradhana , a hindi film . again with subtitles . " perhaps because the majority of our country can ' t understand hindi , let alone tamil . some understand english and quite a few more understand tamil as there is a tamil speaking population in this country , if i am correct .

the tone of aradhana shifts between realism and melodrama , sometimes abruptly , but the changes are not distracting . rather , they make the movie operate on two levels . in its more delicate , realistic moments , aradhana is a sad story about a very likeable woman and the losses she endures over her liftime . the movie also invokes some of the usual improbable filmi tropes , the most notable of which is that renu ' s beau is vandana ' s lost son , suraj , now grown into a dashing fighter pilot who is the spitting image of his father ( and is of course also played by rajesh khanna ) . when it becomes more filmi , aradhana evokes its grander themes of balance , purity , and the dignity of motherhood . and it works splendidly on both levels , not least because sharmila tagore is a skilled actor who shifts effectively between these two storytelling modes .

haathi mere saathi is a drama film directed by manmohan desai . the movie was a box - office blockbuster . the movie has a disneysquare appeal with an indian twist .

amar prem is a romantic film directed by shakti samanta . it stars sharmila tagore ( pushpa ) , rajesh khanna ( anand babu ) music : r . d burman .

when saigal sang jab dil hi toot gaya under naushad’s baton in the 1946 - film shah jehan , he was fighting a losing battle against alcoholism . in a few months after the film’s release , he bade final goodbye to this world . a legend goes that it was saigal’s last wish that the song should be played at his funeral !

moving away from his acting , he’s also an author with three books to his credit – two novels and one on cricket – why hasn’t he written film scripts . the answer is quite startling . “i have three film scripts ready , all my own . one day i will make them into films . ” but he doesn’t commit to a timeframe .

tagore began her career as an actress in satyajit ray’s 1959 bengali film apur sansar ( the world of apu ) , as the ill - fated bride of the title character .

namak haram is a 1973 film directed by hrishikesh mukherjee and produced by jayendra pandya , rajaram and satish wagle . the film stars rajesh khanna and amitabh bachchan in lead roles and rekha , asrani , raza murad , a . k . hangal , simi garewal and om shivpuri in supporting roles . rajesh khanna won the 1974 bfja awards for best actor .

in the opening song sequence , sharmila tagore is seen reading a book while seated in the train . the book ' s name is when eight bells toll , a thriller novel written by alistair maclean published in the year 1966 . the film was released in 1969 , so it is clear that the flashback was shown in a time which was actually a " flash - forward " , which is impossible . she should have been shown reading the heart of the matter ( 1948 ) , a novel by the english author graham greene . see more »

khanna , who died on july 18 , is the only indian actor to have delivered 15 consecutive hits as a solo hero between 1969 and 1971 . he almost always played a gentle romantic , leaving the angry young man image to others like bachchan . that said , he did not shy away from different kinds of roles : psychotic murderer ( red rose ) , jealous husband ( aap ki kasam ) and a convict on the run ( ittefaq ) . he briefly dabbled in politics and film production but he is most known for his indubitable superstar status .

according to music and film expert rajesh subramanian , in " roop tera mastana " , kersi lord played the accordion , homi mullan played the duggi and manohari singh played the saxophone .

khanna was given a filmfare lifetime achievement award in 2005 , and the same honour at the international indian film academy awards in 2009 . he is survived by his wife and daughters .

in the 1980s he started working in multi - star cast films , because that had become the norm and until then he had never done a two - hero film . the first film was kudrat and by then it was too late . whereas , if you look at the first 10 years of amitabh bachchan he was only working in multi - star films .

his most recent release was rajesh shera’s “ocean of an old man” based on the 2004 tsunami that caused such damage in the andaman & nicobar islands . alter plays an old schoolteacher living on one of the islands who loses five of his students and his wife in the disaster . the film was very well received in the festival circuit and released in india last month . alter is brutally frank in saying that the film saw a commercial release only because of the strike . he adds , “it is a beautiful and evocative film , not made to run to full - houses in bombay or anywhere else but people did watch it . i have received the most wonderful reactions ; it is a work of beauty a pioneering film . ”

the film won sharmila tagore her first and only filmfare best actress award . in 1947 , olivia de havilland had won her first academy award for best actress for playing the same role in

kudrat is a 1981 hindi film directed by chetan anand and produced by b . s . khanna . the film stars rajesh khanna and hema malini in lead roles and raaj kumar , priya rajvansh and vinod khanna in supporting roles . kudrat won all - india critics association ( aica ) best actor award in 1982 at calcutta and nominated for the 1982 bfja awards for best actor .

on your call , sharmila tagore discusses the prevalent attitude towards women in the society and how it can be changed . she also reminisces about her acting career and time in the film industry .

avtaar is a drama film director and story by mohan kumar starring rajesh khanna and shabana azmi . it was directed by mohan kumar , and the music was by laxmikant pyarelal . rajesh khanna .

after that , his film activity slowed down , and he served the new delhi constituency as an indian national congress mp from 1992 to 1996 . he remained an activist after losing his seat .

“from the firmly rooted to the indian earth jab dil hi toot gaya and barsaat mein humse mile tum , to increasingly westernized aaja aaja and roop tera mastana , and finaly to the free - flying globalized jai ho , it is an interesting journey which captures the major artistic influences and milestones in hindi film music’s evolution . that’s why these 5 songs define hindi film music to me ! ”

bollywood - also known as hindi film cinema , is one of the largest film production centers in the world . bollywood is not the only film producer in india , but it is one of the largest . bollywood is located in mumbai , india - formally known as bombay . the name was created by combining the " b " from bombay with hollywood . the history of bollywood goes back to the early 1930 ' s when it was called tollywood - the film industry was based in tallygunge , calcutta at the time . in the 1970 ' s bollywood was heavily focused on producing commercial cinema , and america fell second to india in film production . by the 2000 ' s bollywood was popular across the world , and big investments were made in technology . most bollywood movies are musicals , usually the music is produced in a studio , and the actors lip - sync for the films . the music from these movies has been heavily sampled , particularly in hip - hop music .

number one had never been issued on dvd for many years , but old copies on vhs existed . on november 12 , 2015 however , mgm released the film on dvd for the first time .

kishore kumar’s smoulderingly passionate rendition of roop tera mastana ( and for that matter his other aradhana - renditions like mere sapnonki rani and kora kaagaz tha yeh man mera ) brought in a new macho romanticism . his easy - going , straight - to - heart singing now became the preferred style over mohd . rafi’s more intricate yet nuanced style . as a singer , for almost two decadeskishore had stayed in rafi’s shadows . there were even times ( as in ragini and shararat ) when composers had used rafi’s playback for his screen persona . but aradhana’s success changed all that . kishore kumar was the new rage of nation and he emerged as the voice , who would dominate the 70s and the 80s .

khanna plays a jealous husband in this film , not a role that would endear him to one and all . he played it convincingly , overshadowing sanjeev kumar , an undoubtedly better actor . the film is also remembered for its foot - tapping number jai jai shiv shankar with his co - star mumtaz where , high on bhang ( a drink made with cannabis ) , they prance on a hill .

aaja aaja main hoon pyar tera from 1966 - film teesri manzil ushered in another new era . it was the breakthrough composition for rahul devburman , a man who would go on to give a new dimension to hindi film music with his innovative fusion of various musical styles . pancham had debuted five years before teesri manzil but his early compositions had failed to separate him from his father sachin dev burman’s towering shadow .

the loquacious lover of aradhana and andaz , who swept the heroine off her feet with his charm and simplicity , acquired a serious countenance in aap ki kasam and safar . in aap ki kasam , it was a marriage soured by suspicion . khanna slipped into the soul of the character so unobtrusively that the audience felt it was a chunk from his real life .

mere jeevan saathi is a 1972 film directed by ravikant nagaich and produced by vinod shah , starring rajesh khanna and tanuja in lead roles and sujit kumar in supporting role . rajesh khanna plays the lead role as a blind person . the music composed by r . d . burman was all time hit . the most popular songs of the film are ‘o mere dil ke chain’ and ‘chala jata hoon’ sung by kishore kumar

i watched " to each his own " in the later part of the 60s , enjoyed the story and acting very much . then watched aradhana in the early 70s , also a well made and acted movie . i noticed the storyline was identical in many aspects . it became a tremendous super hit in india and shakti samantha received accoladaes for writing such a fresh storyline .

you think zanjeer is the first time you see amitabh ' s angry young man , but it is in namak haram ( both film were released in 1973 ) that the angry young man finally comes into his own .

hindi cinema is replete with innumerable such instances . songs in hindi films have been the invisible stars , with the power to do much more than entertain . not only have they boosted the fate of lacklustre films , they have made fortunes for filmmakers and actors alike . in many cases , for decades after the film itself has been forgotten , its music has remained fresh and as much loved as it was when the film was released .

aan milo sajna ( 1970 ) by mukul dutt kaka plays a local peasant and asha parekh is his love interest . the film is remembered especially for its songs like aan milo sajnaand achcha to hum chalte hain among others .

if one artiste is to be credited for this mind - boggling paradigm shift , it would have to be a . r . rahman . with his genius , this mozart from madras has blurred the musical boundaries between bollywood , kollywood and hollywood . he has changed hindi film music like no one has . his critics may be right when they say that under his influence hindi film music has no longer remained hindi ( or hindustani ) in its essence .

aradhana set me thinking : how many earlier mainstream film - makers were meticulous enough to create two distinct eras in movies that dealt with different generations ? answering that question would entail a viewing of dozens of films but one can safely make an educated guess : very , very few . off the top of my head i can think of manoj kumar’s 1970 film purab aur paschim , in which the past , beginning in the year of the quit india movement , had a distinctly different feel ( it was also shot in black - and - white before switching to colour for the present , perhaps a first for a mainstream film ) . then there’s ramesh sippy’s television epic buniyaad , whose progression from 1915 to the 1960s was handled with the necessary changes in production design , costume , language and political - cultural references . buniyaad ’s last episode was set in 1964 , the year jawaharlal nehru died , but it also had a 20 - year flash forward — the 90th birthday of its protagonist master haveli ram , who , in the continuing interests of period authenticity , is shown talking on a cordless telephone .

he continued to appear in a handful of films and tv serials until 2010 , by which time he had been credited in more than 150 titles . twinkle , his elder daughter , is married to the indian film star akshay kuma .

for a long time he was trying to be relevant . he became friendly with non - film people . he joined politics in 1990 and was in mp from 1991 to 1996 . and he spent a lot of time in delhi .

sachcha jhootha ( 1970 ) by manmohan desai kaka plays a village bumpkin who happens to have a crooked lookalike . the film also stars mumtaz and vinod khanna . of the tracks , dil sachaa aur chehra jhutharendered by kishore kumar is quite memorable .

mehboob ki mehndi ( 1971 ) by h s rawail kaka plays the son of a wealthy businessman and romances leena chandavarkar who portrays his nephew’s new tutor . an unforgettable tune from the film is mere diwanepan ki bhi dawa nahinsung by kishore kumar .

i liked anand . you would have to be very insensitive not to be moved by the film . but for me when i think of rajesh khanna the images that come to my mind are amar prem , namak haram and aap ki kasam .

( 1941 ) , the film’s composer ghulam haider became something of an overnight celebrity for composing a soundtrack that merged punjabi folk with classical raagas . since then , composers like c ramchandra , naushad , sd burman , laxmikant - pyarelal and ar rahman have determined the fortunes of many a film . shankar - jaikishan were very much the dominant composer duo of the 1950s and 1960s , and it is hard , in particular , to look at raj kapoor’s legacy without their compositions for his films .

i don ' t understand the praises one gets from a duplicated idea . . . . i would however understand a truthful acknowlegement from the filmakers that the story is based on an original version and place a footnote in the titles saying so . . . . due credit should be received for one ' s original work . in this case aradhana only become a success because of it ' s storyline , and of course the actors .

s amanta was keen on madhubala for howrah bridge but he didn ' t know her personally . so , he told ashok kumar to put in a word . samanta went to meet her with rs 20 , 000 as a signing amount ( she used to charge rs 75 , 000 those days ) . " dad started the narration with her character , that of a christian girl who speaks like , ' humko tumse pyaar maangta hai . ' when madhubala heard that , she burst out laughing and agreed to do the film without actually hearing the story . " she even refused to accept any payment before the film ' s shooting . " she asked dad for one rupee as a signing amount and said the rest he can pay after the film is complete . "

the contention here is that if the tamil films - subtitled in sinhala - were telecast the tamil audience too can watch , while those who can ' t understand tamil can follow the subtitles . they can ' t understand hindi anyway . hence it won ' t make any difference whether it is a tamil film or hindi film . but it does make a difference to the tamil audience . when hindi films telecast with subtitles in sinhala the tamil audience is kept out . they can read neither hindi nor sinhala .

actor shammi kapoor is perhaps one of those greats in the hindi film industry who is known and loved entirely through his songs . the ‘rock - n - roll’ , bon vivant image that the actor enjoyed was shaped by innumerable memorable hit numbers , including ‘

safar ( 1970 ) by asit sen kaka and sharmila tagore play medical students . the tenth top - grossing production of the year , the film won two filmfare awards . of the songs , the track zindagi ka safar sung by kishore kumar deserves special mention .

and i read that you then had to leave school because at that time being a film actress and then in hindi films was really looked down upon , so you actually left school ? and then you went on to hindi films and then ' evening in paris ' , which then created a sensation of a completely different kind . were you in two minds at all about taking on that role , especially because you came from very illustrious family , satyajit ray film heroine and then a very different kind of a role completely ?

admittedly , films that have a specific timeline and encompass historical events in their narrative are the ones that are more authentic in portraying different time spans . i’m guessing that in the workaday 20 - year leaps — the aradhana kinds — authenticity would actually be undesirable . for instance , sharmila tagore would probably have to dress in staid khadi and refrain from openly romancing her iaf officer among other things . too inconvenient all this for a movie whose main aim is to entertain .

and madhusudan kalelkar visited his office . upon hearing the issue , it was gulshan nanda who suggested to have a double role of father and son in the film . originally the first hero was to die by the interval and a new hero was to step in .

his 17 hits from the early period follow an interesting template . in every film he does not overshadow his co - star . the women have neatly etched roles - - in films like kati patang and amar prem . also , those films had great supporting actors .

what ' s in a name ? rajesh khanna ' s original name was jatin khanna , while his friends and family members called him kaka at home . the name ‘rajesh khanna’ was given to him by his uncle kk talwar after his decision to join the film industry .

fuelling this addiction was the stint at film institute , pune , where tom received an offer from satyajit ray , who signed him up for shatranj ke khiladi . for those who typecast tom in the foreigner villain’s role , it’s important to know that ray chose him for his mastery over urdu . recalls tom , “the most challenging scene in the film has me playing the interpreter between richard attenborough and the mother of wajid ali shah . i am translating urdu into english and vice versa . that scene is the loveliest scene i’ve ever shot . ”

the film is on youtube and worth watching . he has long scenes with padmini who was a throwback to ' 50s cinema . she is very theatrical and rolling her eyes . but you should watch it muted and see how comfortable rajesh khanna is in those emotional scenes .

the early hindi film - music of the 1930s and 40s had a distinct identity . it mostly relied on hindustani classical and folk - tunes ; had sparse orchestration and had a surplus of sentimental melancholic songs . kundanlalsaigal’snasal tinged voice was undoubtedly the star voice of that era .

number one was a commercial failure , but critical reaction was mixed . the film , and particularly heston ' s performance , did earn a rave review from howard thompson of the new york times , who called the " consistently engrossing " film , " . . . a succinct , stinging and often strong gridiron drama . . . . " thompson described heston ' s performance as " a brooding , scorching and beautifully disciplined tour de force for the actor . . . . if heston could have been better , we don ' t know how . "


roast beef and movies ( 1934 ) is a short subject starring george givot , along with curly howard ( billed as " jerry howard " ) , bobby callahan , and the albertina rasch dancers .

( the film does not feature ted healy or the other stooges and is the only known solo screen appearance of curly howard without his brother moe . ) the music is by dmitri tiomkin , who was married to rasch at the time .

notable in this film is howard being more of a " middle stooge , " similar to larry fine 's character in the three stooges films , and using his real voice without the " curly " inflections .

calahan played the " dumb " character that howard would normally play .

the short , filmed in two-strip technicolor , uses the " chinese ballet " segment from the mgm movie children of pleasure and the " woman in the shoe " segment from mgm 's lord byron of broadway ( both 1930 ) .

three amateur film makers try to get the executives of masterpiece pictures corp . to exhibit their new movie , only to discover that they are sanitarium escapees . the short was produced as a way to showcase musical and dance performance footage that had been cut from mgm feature films . roast - beef & movies was shot in 2 - strip technicolor to match that footage . blue daughter from heaven ( chinese ballet ) is taken from lord byron of broadway ( 1929 ) , and dust is from children of pleasure ( 1930 ) . 1934

" roast - beef and movies " ( 1934 ) is notable for being the only film wherein jerry " curly " howard acts without at least one other stooge also being involved . but he doesn ' t really do a lot here and seems woefully out of place . he ' s shown as being part of a trio , but he doesn ' t seem to belong with the other two guys at all . the dance numbers ( left over from other films ) do little beyond dragging things out , and their presence here makes no sense . remove these and what you have left is still a bit dumb , but probably not much worse than the typical comedy fare of the era . bottom line : if " curly " wasn ' t involved , there would be no reason for anyone today to be watching or talking about this short .
