Chained for Life ![]() ![]() ![]() Chained for Life is a 1951 exploitation film featuring the famous conjoined ("Siamese") Hilton Twins, Daisy and Violet. It features several vaudeville acts, including juggler Whitey Roberts, a man doing bicycle stunts, and a man who plays the William Tell Overture at breakneck speed on an accordion. The movie incorporates aspects of the twins' real life, including their singing act, a futile attempt by one sister to obtain a marriage license, and a publicity-stunt marriage. The twins' voices are featured in three duets, including "Every Hour of Every Day" and "Love Thief". The movie was directed by Harry L. Fraser. Plot The movie opens with a judge (Norval Mitchell) begging the audience for help in resolving a terrible dilemma. The action moves to a courtroom, where Vivian Hamilton is on trial for her life for the shooting death of her sister's lover. The story unfolds in flashback as various characters are called to testify. Conjoined twins Dorothy and Vivian Hamilton (Daisy and Violet Hilton) have a successful vaudeville singing act, but their manager Hinkley (Allen Jenkins) thinks a publicity stunt will launch their career into the stratosphere. He pays stunt shooter Andre Pariseau (Mario Laval) to fake a romance with one of the twins. Vivian, the brunette, dislikes Andre and wants nothing to do with the scheme, but Dorothy, the blonde, quips that she's too old to turn down a chance at love, and agrees to serve as Andre's love interest. The ploy works spectacularly, with "the girls" singing for standing room only crowds. But much to Vivian's dismay, Dorothy actually falls in love with the scheming Andre, who is only stringing her along. He is secretly involved with his shooting-act partner, Renee (Patricia Wright). Andre proposes marriage, but the couple are unable to obtain a marriage license due to allegations that the marriage would constitute bigamy. A desperate Dorothy convinces Vivian to seek separation surgery, even at the risk of their lives, so that she can pursue her dreams of love. Doctors, however, inform the women that such surgery is impossible. But, the doctors stress, there is no physical reason that Dorothy can't marry. Somehow, due to a consultation with a blind minister, Dorothy and Andre are able to obtain their marriage license. The wedding ceremony is performed on-stage before an audience of dignitaries including the mayor. But the very next day, Andre jilts Dorothy, claiming that he could not adjust to life as the husband of a conjoined twin. Vivian knows better, though, because she sees Andre and Renee kissing passionately. Her suspicions of Andre are confirmed. Vivian is outraged that her beloved sister was so mistreated. During Andre's shooting performance, Vivian seizes one of Andre's guns and shoots him dead before a horrified audience. The film returns to the judge, who can not decide how to dispose of the case. Justice for Andre requires that his murderer, Vivian, be executed. But this would cost the life of the innocent Dorothy, denying justice to her. The film ends with a plea for the viewer to resolve the dilemma. Directed by Harry L. Fraser Produced by George Moskov Written by Screenplay: Ross Frisco Nat Tanchuck Additional dialogue: Albert de Pina Starring Violet Hilton Daisy Hilton Mario Laval Allen Jenkins Patricia Wright Music by Henry Vars Cinematography Jockey Arthur Feindel Editing by Joseph Gluck Distributed by Classic Pictures Inc.

Now that the journey to the past has begun from the 60s, we shall look forward to the past - to the 50s, staring from 1951.

His first film was DAY OF THE FIGHT ![]() Day of the Fight is a 1951 American short subject documentary film shot in black-and-white and also the first picture directed by Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick financed the film himself, and it is based on an earlier photo feature he had done as a photographer for Look magazine in 1949. Story Day Of The Fight shows Irish-American middleweight boxer Walter Cartier during the height of his career, on the day of a fight with black middleweight Bobby James, which took place on April 17, 1950. The film opens with a short section on boxing's history, and then follows Cartier through his day, as he prepares for the 10 P.M. bout that night. He eats breakfast in his West 12th Street apartment in Greenwich Village, then goes to early mass and eats lunch at his favorite restaurant. At 4 P.M., he starts preparations for the fight. By 8 P.M., he is waiting in his dressing room at Laurel Gardens in Newark, New Jersey for the fight to begin.

1951 ... contd...
Come Fill the Cup ![]() Warner Bros., 1951. Directed by Gordon Douglas. Camera: Robert Burks. With James Cagney, Phyllis Thaxter, Raymond Massey, James Gleason, Gig Young, Selena Royle, Larry Keating, Charlita, Sheldon Leonard, Douglas Spencer, John Kellogg, William Bakewell, John Alvin, Frank Marlowe, Henry Blair, Kathleen Freeman, Oliver Blake, Morgan Brown, Grandon Rhodes, Donald Chaffin, Tim Wallace, Norma Jean Macias, Rose Turich, Joe Domenguez, Harry Lauter, Elizabeth Flournoy, Franklin Parker, Jack Carr, Richard Reeves, Bob Taylor, King Donovan, Ervin Richardson, Mark Noblitt. from http://www.doctormacro.com/Movie%20S...0the%20Cup.htm This tale of a drunken journalist is one of James Cagney’s rarest films, never released on video or DVD and apparently never shown on TV. It seems to be available only on the “grey market”. I was lucky enough to see it in brief segments on Youtube, but am editing (July 2009) to say that, sadly, it has now been removed – I hope that means Warner are thinking of releasing it. Since it’s so little-known, I wondered how good it could be, and was surprised at just how powerful it is. more at movieclassics @wordpress ![]() Synopsis Alcoholic newspaperman Lew Marsh hits bottom, loses his job and is rehabilitated by Charley Dolan. After six years on the wagon he gets his job back and devotes himself to other recovering alcoholics. His boss enlists his help to sober up his nephew, Boyd Copeland, who has married Lew's old sweetheart. Boyd, who is involved with a cabaret singer and the mob, presents quite a challenge. ...source: filmaffinity.com One of the comments for the video says: hi, wonderful cagney videos. thank you so much. I wonder whether you might have more of Come Fill the Cup and These Wilder Years. I can't find them anywhere and would love to see them. watch the video and read the comments James Cagney - இவருடைய நடிப்பு நடிகர் திலகத்தை மிகவும் பாதித்துள்ளது. இவர் ஏற்கெனவே பல ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன் ஒரு படத்தில் செய்த ஒரு நுணுக்கமான நடிப்பினை நெஞ்சில் நிறுத்தி, அதனை பல ஆண்டுகள் கழித்து அன்னையின் ஆணை திரைப்படத்தில் நம்முடைய கலாச்சாரத்திற்கேற்றவாறு பயன்படுத்தி நடித்தார் நடிகர் திலகம் சிவாஜி கணேசன். |
