Not only did James Dean's character have a hateful and disgusting attitude in the film but you are able to watch Rock Hudson's character evolve from a man of anger and hate to a man who protects and loves the Latino people after his son gets married. It's a film that is a huge eye opener and it reveals how people's emotion can be overly cruel.Nicole Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07858454185709468641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-4698712379876941242009-05-13T13:35:00.000-04:002009-05-13T13:35:00.000-04:00Raquel,

I was surprised to realize that I had never seen it. It looks amazing, with the hunky Ricardo Montalban playing the male lead. And, Shelley Winters is always an asset to any film she's in.<br /><br />Greenwich Village is a thrill because it has never played on TCM before, to my recollection. I adore Carmen Miranda, (as you'll find out if you read my newest blog post) so this is an absolute must.<br /><br />Kate is right - you must have one heck of an in @ TCM to be able to share the lovely notebooks with us!Caseyhttp://caseykoester.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-25104075002749589052009-05-11T03:51:00.000-04:002009-05-11T03:51:00.000-04:00I'm looking forward to The Trial (1955) -- I click...I'm looking forward to The Trial (1955) -- I clicked on your link and read the overviews of a lot of the films on the lineup, but The Trial really grabbed my attention. I love courtroom dramas, and this one sounds especially intriguing. Reading the article, it sounded very much in line with the kind of political films I like (like 12 Angry Men or The Ox Bow Incident) and it features one of my favorite actresses, Katy Jurado. I hope this will be one of the films you write about for your Latino Images in Film theme!<br /><br />I'll be posting my blog post later this week! Thanks for doing another great giveaway-- I'm so jealous of your clandestine access to the TCM paraphernalia! :)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026961018017690353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-54478006529500615052009-05-10T13:26:00.000-04:002009-05-10T13:26:00.000-04:00Raquelle,

I will do my best to find something out from the clips on their site. Otherwise I'll just watch West Side Story again...

I have always loved this film. To some degree it is cliched (the students don't like Mr. Escalante at first, but warm to him after a while), but the great cast and wonderful script overcome that deficit. Indeed, it actually makes mathematics interesting (which is a huge accomplishment where I am concerned). I have to also say that it is one of the most positive portrayals of Hispanics on film. Mr. Escalante, as played by Edward James Olmos, is intelligent, charming, and at the same time powerful. He definitely deserved his nomination for Best Actor!Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-55750270486941930042009-05-08T11:36:00.000-04:002009-05-08T11:36:00.000-04:00I'm going to be watching Popi (love Alan Arkin, an...I'm going to be watching Popi (love Alan Arkin, and watched this as a kid), Salt of the Earth for some pre-blacklist labor action, and Terror in a Texas Town- Sterling Hayden and Dalton Trumbo. This is a great project you've got going.<br /><br />I wrote a post about this marathon, those movies, and other incidents of brown face and what I call "pasta face" that will appear this Sunday; I linked to your blog with it, but I'll add it as a link to this post when it publishes. There are a lot of interesting films in this run, and Hollywood's treatment of race has always intrigued me. One of these days I'll have to write about The Green Pastures, Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs, and Cabin in the Sky.Thomas Pluckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008022962076648740noreply@blogger.com
