Plot: Erica is unmarried only temporarily in that her successful, wealthy husband of seventeen years has just left her for a girl he met while buying a shirt in Bloomingdale's. The film shows Erica coming to terms with the break-up while revising her opinions of herself, redefining that self in its own right rather than as an extension of somebody else's personality, and finally going out with another man. Erica refuses to drop everything for Saul, an abstract expressionist painter, simply out of love for him because he expects her to. It is not so much loneliness that is her problem, and the problems that men, flitting around this newly "available" woman like moths round a flame, bring to her sense of independence.

Saul (1959)
Il
Saul è una delle tragedie più riuscite di
Vittorio Alfieri, tanto che lo stesso autore recitò spesso la parte del protagonista. L'opera fu scritta nel 1782 in endecasillabi sciolti; è composta da 5 atti e dedicata all'amico
Tommaso Valperga di
Caluso, docente di greco e di lingue orientali. La vicenda richiama quella tratta nella Bibbia riguardante la battaglia fra Saul, primo re di Israele, e i Filistei, ma se nel Libro Sacro la figura di Saul è rappresentata come l'imprevedibile e immotivato esito di un'inspiegabile follia, nella tragedia alfieriana diventa l'agire di una figura psicologicamente complessa e tormentata, a tre dimensioni. Nella narrazione l'
Alfieri si attiene all'unità di tempo, spazio e azione tipicamente aristotelici; secondo questi canoni, dunque, nel Saul gli eventi hanno inizio poco prima del sorgere dell'alba per concludersi al tramonto del giorno seguente (unità di tempo); la vicenda è tutta concentrata nel campo d'Israele a Gelboè (unità di luogo); l'attenzione dell'autore è puntata sulla figura del protagonista, con la conseguente riduzione del numero dei personaggi secondari che agiscono essenzialmente in funzione di Saul (unità di azione). Considerato il capolavoro di Alfieri, "Saul" è una tragedia lineare nell'intreccio ma potente e drammatica. In primo piano la figura del sovrano: nel suo animo nobile e sensibile albergano uno smisurato orgoglio e una cupezza sconsolata; diviso tra cielo e terra, ribelle a Dio, non riesce a dominare l'anelito che lo avvelena: oltrepassare "il limite". Vittima della sua brama di potere si macchia di crudeltà e delitti, pur consapevole che porteranno solo rovina. Il contrasto insanabile stringe a poco a poco Saul nel cerchio della follia, da cui evade con un ultimo gesto: l'eroico suicidio, catarsi della tragedia. Alfieri giunge con il Saul alla consapevolezza della reale miseria della condizione umana, che è ben rappresentata dal titano orgoglioso che scopre la sua intima debolezza, e non ha la forza di opporvisi attivamente perché non ha nessuno contro cui lottare, in quanto il disagio è tutto interiore, tanto che va incontro deliberatamente alla morte, unica forma di liberazione dal suo tormento. L'adattamento televisivo in due tempi venne trasmesso dalla
RAI il 6 novembre
1959 sul Programma Nazionale, con la regia di Claudio Fino, la scenografia di Mariano Mercuri e le musiche originali di Fiorenzo
Carpi. Magistrale fu l'interpretazione di
Salvo Randone.
Personaggi e interpreti:
Saul: Salvo Randone
Gionata:
Nando Gazzolo
Micol:
Valentina Fortunato
David: Gianmaria
Volonté
Abner:
Mario Feliciani
Achimelech: Augusto Mastrantoni
Trama:
La vicenda si apre nell'accampamento degli ebrei, nell'imminenza della battaglia contro i Filistei. Il re Saul è inquieto e preoccupato in quanto durante la battaglia non potrà contare sull'appoggio di David, marito di sua figlia Micol, che era stato costretto a fuggire perché sospettato dallo stesso re di aspirare al potere e quindi da lui condannato a morte (si era infatti rifugiato in terre filistee e per questo accusato di tradimento). Tuttavia David decide si raggiungere il campo ebraico per combattere e dimostrare al re la sua fedeltà. Saul, convinto della fiducia del giovane, lo rinomina comandante dell'esercito. Ben presto però ricade preda della follia e vede come nemici anche i sacerdoti; parla infatti con Achimelech (primo sacerdote), il quale gli racconta la sua felicità e quella dei suoi confratelli per il ritorno di David ritenuto,da loro, come futuro erede al trono di Israele (designato da Dio). Il re fa uccidere tutti i sacerdoti e dà l'ordine di uccidere anche David mentre fugge. Saul è ormai in preda al delirio (infatti gli appaiono in sogno i fantasmi dei sacerdoti uccisi che gli annunciano la sciagura) e, mentre assiste impotente alla sconfitta dell'esercito ebraico, si trafigge con la propria spada.

Saul Bass Doodle - 8 May 2013
Please help me to share this
Doodle on 8 May 2013
Today is a special day for
Saul Bass, a graphic designer and typographer from the
USA.
He worked with some of the most famous
Hollywood filmmakers during his 40-year-long career.
Even if you are unacquainted with Saul Bass's name, you have most likely seen his works: For example the opening credits to the films "
The Man with the
Golden Arm" (
1955) and "
Psycho" (
1960).
Bass also created the highly-regarded opening credits to the film "
Casino" (
1995) together with his wife shortly before his death.
Google used a design for the Doodle, which was created by Saul Bass for the film "
Anatomy of a murder" (
1959).
Saul Bass ranks amongst the most innovative designers and filmmakers of his time and was always style-defining.
You should have seen all of these films, otherwise watch them as soon as possible! :-)

Alicia Mayer and Jan-Christopher Horak about Saul Bass
About
Saul Bass:
Saul Bass CoverIconic graphic designer and
Academy Award–winning filmmaker Saul Bass (
1920–
1996) defined an innovative era in cinema. His title sequences for films such as
Otto Preminger’s
The Man with the
Golden Arm (
1955) and
Anatomy of a Murder (
1959),
Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (
1958) and
North by Northwest (1959), and
Billy Wilder’s
The Seven Year Itch (1955) introduced the idea that opening credits could tell a story, setting the mood for the movie to follow.
Bass’s stylistic influence can be seen in popular
Hollywood franchises from the
Pink Panther to
James Bond, as well as in more contemporary works such as
Steven Spielberg’s
Catch Me If You Can (
2002) and television’s
Mad Men.
The first book to examine the life and work of this fascinating figure, Saul Bass:
Anatomy of
Film Design explores the designer’s revolutionary career and his lasting impact on the entertainment and advertising industries. Jan-Christopher Horak traces Bass from his humble beginnings as a self-taught artist to his professional peak, when auteur directors like
Stanley Kubrick,
Robert Aldrich, and
Martin Scorsese sought him as a collaborator. He also discusses how Bass incorporated aesthetic concepts borrowed from modern art in his work, presenting them in a new way that made them easily recognizable to the public.
This long-overdue book sheds light on the creative process of the undisputed master of film title design—a man whose multidimensional talents and unique ability to blend high art and commercial imperatives profoundly influenced generations of filmmakers, designers, and advertisers.
Jan-Christopher Horak is director of the
UCLA Film and Television Archive, editor of
Lovers of
Cinema:
The First American Film Avant-Garde,
1919–
1945, and author of
Dream Merchants: Making and Selling Films in Hollywood’s

92Y Podcast: From the Poetry Center Archive: Saul Bellow
92Y
Virtual Poetry Center:
http://www.92y.org/
VPC?utm_source=92Y_YouTube&utm;_medium=92Y_YouTube_VPC_Jul1012&utm;_campaign=poetry_center
I can write a small book more easily than a letter—why is that?
"As though I'd stumbled upon a lost
Bellow masterpiece." So said
Philip Roth after "hungrily" reading through the recently published
Letters of
Saul Bellow. Saul Bellow first appeared at the Poetry Center in November of
1956, reading from a novel-in-progress that would become
Henderson the Rain King. Upon the book's publication, in
1959, Bellow wrote to his friend
Ralph Ellison about its critical reception:
The fighting about poor
Henderson has been fierce and wild, and to make matters worse I'm not quite sure where I myself stand. For I'm not in possession of my head and don't know what parts of the book originate in gaiety and which in desperation.
It's easy enough to see through the prejudices of the critics and to assess their vindictiveness against the new and the unexpected, but it's not as though the book occurred as a pure act of the imagination
. . . . I'm inclined to set the whole of Henderson down to dizziness and begin to think of a new start.
Bellow's second appearance at the Poetry Center didn't come until
1988. By then, he'd written
Herzog and
Mr. Sammler's Planet, won three
National Book Awards and the
Nobel Prize.
Today's featured recording is an excerpt from that 1988 appearance, when he read from
Humboldt's Gift.
"The book of ballads published by
Von Humboldt Fleisher in the Thirties was an immediate hit," writes Bellow in the novel's opening sentence. "
Humboldt was just what everyone had been waiting for." The character of Humboldt was loosely based on the poet
Delmore Schwartz. Though there are no letters to Schwartz in this new collection, some of Bellow's thoughts about his friend are included in a letter to Eileen
Simpson, author of
Poets in Their
Youth:
What were
John [Berryman] and Delmore and Cal [
Lowell] about, really? I admired their poems, I relished their company; but I was so deeply immersed in my own puzzles, programs, problems that I drove past in my dream-car. . . .
Something like that. Not without feeling, no; I certainly felt for them, but I was a thousand times less attentive than I was capable of being. It came
home sharply to me as I read your memoir. I suppose that if
John and Delmore hadn't been such entertainers, comic charmers, stylists, if they hadn't had hundreds of intriguing tricks in presenting themselves. . . . But really it does no good, this remorse for being so like them.

Il
Saul è una delle tragedie più riuscite di
Vittorio Alfieri, tanto che lo stesso autore recitò spesso la parte del protagonista. L'opera fu scritta nel 1782 in endecasillabi sciolti; è composta da 5 atti e dedicata all'amico
Tommaso Valperga di
Caluso, docente di greco e di lingue orientali. La vicenda richiama quella tratta nella Bibbia riguardante la battaglia fra Saul, primo re di Israele, e i Filistei, ma se nel Libro Sacro la figura di Saul è rappresentata come l'imprevedibile e immotivato esito di un'inspiegabile follia, nella tragedia alfieriana diventa l'agire di una figura psicologicamente complessa e tormentata, a tre dimensioni. Nella narrazione l'
Alfieri si attiene all'unità di tempo, spazio e azione tipicamente aristotelici; secondo questi canoni, dunque, nel Saul gli eventi hanno inizio poco prima del sorgere dell'alba per concludersi al tramonto del giorno seguente (unità di tempo); la vicenda è tutta concentrata nel campo d'Israele a Gelboè (unità di luogo); l'attenzione dell'autore è puntata sulla figura del protagonista, con la conseguente riduzione del numero dei personaggi secondari che agiscono essenzialmente in funzione di Saul (unità di azione). Considerato il capolavoro di Alfieri, "Saul" è una tragedia lineare nell'intreccio ma potente e drammatica. In primo piano la figura del sovrano: nel suo animo nobile e sensibile albergano uno smisurato orgoglio e una cupezza sconsolata; diviso tra cielo e terra, ribelle a Dio, non riesce a dominare l'anelito che lo avvelena: oltrepassare "il limite". Vittima della sua brama di potere si macchia di crudeltà e delitti, pur consapevole che porteranno solo rovina. Il contrasto insanabile stringe a poco a poco Saul nel cerchio della follia, da cui evade con un ultimo gesto: l'eroico suicidio, catarsi della tragedia. Alfieri giunge con il Saul alla consapevolezza della reale miseria della condizione umana, che è ben rappresentata dal titano orgoglioso che scopre la sua intima debolezza, e non ha la forza di opporvisi attivamente perché non ha nessuno contro cui lottare, in quanto il disagio è tutto interiore, tanto che va incontro deliberatamente alla morte, unica forma di liberazione dal suo tormento. L'adattamento televisivo in due tempi venne trasmesso dalla
RAI il 6 novembre
1959 sul Programma Nazionale, con la regia di Claudio Fino, la scenografia di Mariano Mercuri e le musiche originali di Fiorenzo
Carpi. Magistrale fu l'interpretazione di
Salvo Randone.

Saul: Salvo Randone
Gionata:

Micol:
Valentina Fortunato
David: Gianmaria
Volonté
Abner:

Achimelech: Augusto Mastrantoni
Trama:
La vicenda si apre nell'accampamento degli ebrei, nell'imminenza della battaglia contro i Filistei. Il re Saul è inquieto e preoccupato in quanto durante la battaglia non potrà contare sull'appoggio di David, marito di sua figlia Micol, che era stato costretto a fuggire perché sospettato dallo stesso re di aspirare al potere e quindi da lui condannato a morte (si era infatti rifugiato in terre filistee e per questo accusato di tradimento). Tuttavia David decide si raggiungere il campo ebraico per combattere e dimostrare al re la sua fedeltà. Saul, convinto della fiducia del giovane, lo rinomina comandante dell'esercito. Ben presto però ricade preda della follia e vede come nemici anche i sacerdoti; parla infatti con Achimelech (primo sacerdote), il quale gli racconta la sua felicità e quella dei suoi confratelli per il ritorno di David ritenuto,da loro, come futuro erede al trono di Israele (designato da Dio). Il re fa uccidere tutti i sacerdoti e dà l'ordine di uccidere anche David mentre fugge. Saul è ormai in preda al delirio (infatti gli appaiono in sogno i fantasmi dei sacerdoti uccisi che gli annunciano la sciagura) e, mentre assiste impotente alla sconfitta dell'esercito ebraico, si trafigge con la propria spada.

Doodle on 8 May 2013
Today is a special day for
Saul Bass, a graphic designer and typographer from the
USA.
He worked with some of the most famous
Hollywood filmmakers during his 40-year-long career.
Even if you are unacquainted with Saul Bass's name, you have most likely seen his works: For example the opening credits to the films "
The Man with the
Golden Arm" (
1955) and "
Psycho" (
1960).
Bass also created the highly-regarded opening credits to the film "
Casino" (
1995) together with his wife shortly before his death.
Google used a design for the Doodle, which was created by Saul Bass for the film "
Anatomy of a murder" (
1959).
Saul Bass ranks amongst the most innovative designers and filmmakers of his time and was always style-defining.
You should have seen all of these films, otherwise watch them as soon as possible! :-)

Alicia Mayer and Jan-Christopher Horak about Saul Bass
About
Saul Bass:
Saul Bass CoverIconic graphic designer and
Academy Award–winning filmmaker Saul Bass (
1920–
1996) defined an innovative era in cinema. His title sequences for films such as
Otto Preminger’s
The Man with the
Golden Arm (
1955) and
Anatomy of a Murder (
1959),
Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (
1958) and
North by Northwest (1959), and
Billy Wilder’s
The Seven Year Itch (1955) introduced the idea that opening credits could tell a story, setting the mood for the movie to follow.
Bass’s stylistic influence can be seen in popular
Hollywood franchises from the
Pink Panther to
James Bond, as well as in more contemporary works such as
Steven Spielberg’s
Catch Me If You Can (
2002) and television’s
Mad Men.
The first book to examine the life and work of this fascinating figure, Saul Bass:
Anatomy of
Film Design explores the designer’s revolutionary career and his lasting impact on the entertainment and advertising industries. Jan-Christopher Horak traces Bass from his humble beginnings as a self-taught artist to his professional peak, when auteur directors like
Stanley Kubrick,
Robert Aldrich, and
Martin Scorsese sought him as a collaborator. He also discusses how Bass incorporated aesthetic concepts borrowed from modern art in his work, presenting them in a new way that made them easily recognizable to the public.
This long-overdue book sheds light on the creative process of the undisputed master of film title design—a man whose multidimensional talents and unique ability to blend high art and commercial imperatives profoundly influenced generations of filmmakers, designers, and advertisers.

I can write a small book more easily than a letter—why is that?
"As though I'd stumbled upon a lost
Bellow masterpiece." So said
Philip Roth after "hungrily" reading through the recently published
Letters of
Saul Bellow. Saul Bellow first appeared at the Poetry Center in November of
1956, reading from a novel-in-progress that would become
Henderson the Rain King. Upon the book's publication, in
1959, Bellow wrote to his friend
Ralph Ellison about its critical reception:
The fighting about poor
Henderson has been fierce and wild, and to make matters worse I'm not quite sure where I myself stand. For I'm not in possession of my head and don't know what parts of the book originate in gaiety and which in desperation.
It's easy enough to see through the prejudices of the critics and to assess their vindictiveness against the new and the unexpected, but it's not as though the book occurred as a pure act of the imagination
. . . . I'm inclined to set the whole of Henderson down to dizziness and begin to think of a new start.
Bellow's second appearance at the Poetry Center didn't come until
1988. By then, he'd written
Herzog and
Mr. Sammler's Planet, won three
National Book Awards and the
Nobel Prize.
Today's featured recording is an excerpt from that 1988 appearance, when he read from
Humboldt's Gift.
"The book of ballads published by
Von Humboldt Fleisher in the Thirties was an immediate hit," writes Bellow in the novel's opening sentence. "
Humboldt was just what everyone had been waiting for." The character of Humboldt was loosely based on the poet
Delmore Schwartz. Though there are no letters to Schwartz in this new collection, some of Bellow's thoughts about his friend are included in a letter to Eileen
Simpson, author of
Poets in Their
Youth:
What were
John [Berryman] and Delmore and Cal [
Lowell] about, really? I admired their poems, I relished their company; but I was so deeply immersed in my own puzzles, programs, problems that I drove past in my dream-car. . . .
Something like that. Not without feeling, no; I certainly felt for them, but I was a thousand times less attentive than I was capable of being. It came
home sharply to me as I read your memoir. I suppose that if
John and Delmore hadn't been such entertainers, comic charmers, stylists, if they hadn't had hundreds of intriguing tricks in presenting themselves. . . . But really it does no good, this remorse for being so like them.
