There are no major Hollywood movie releases in stores this week, so
here are several smaller films you just might enjoy.
Ruby in Paradise ***1/2 (Alliance) is an exceptional slice-of-life drama
about a young woman played by Ashley Judd (Naomi's younger daughter)
who leaves her dead end life in rural Tennessee for a hopefully more
promising one in Florida. Ashley Judd is an absolutely engaging presence
and director Victoria Nunez gives this low budget film a warmth and heart
that so many glossy Hollywood films lack.
Ruby in Paradise won the 1993 Grand Prize at the Sundance Film
Festival. (Rated R)
While The Accompanist *** (C/FP) was released last October I have
just managed to catch up with it. This French production set during the
winter of 1942-43 in German occupied France and wartime England,
focuses on a gifted young pianist, who is hired as the accompanist to a
beautiful, charismatic singer.
The ACcompanist is a graceful and eloquent movie which not only
features impressive performances, but the richly haunting music of
Mozart, Schubert and many others. (Rated PG - in French with easy to
read English subtitles)
In Paul Robeson ***1/2 (Kino) James Earl Jones gives a wonderful
one-man performance as the outspoken singer/actor whose career was
adversely affected by his politics. A man of extraordinary versatility, Paul
Robeson achieved distinction as both a scholar and an athlete before
becoming an internationally-honoured concert musician and actor in the
1930s and 40s. His life took a dark turn during the height of the Cold War
when he repeatedly spoke out against racial injustice and vigorously
defended the Soviet Union after visiting there. Robeson's career was
blighted by his political agenda-his passport was revoked, concerts were
cancelled and a number of books even dropped references to him. In the
1970s When Robeson was nearing the end of his life, his fame was revived
and he resumed public appearances until his death in 1976.
One of my favourite actresses is Maureen O'Hara, that wonderful red
haired Irish colleen whose presence graced some of my all-time favourite
movies. She was at her best in films like How Green Was My Valley, Rio
Grande and The Quiet Man which she made for director John Ford, but
was also right at home in swashbucklers and westerns. MCA/Universal
Home Video continues to mine their vaults with the release of four
Technicolor westerns starring Maureen O'Hara.
While none of these films falls into the classic category, they are
nonetheless worth a look.
The titles include, Comanche Territory (1950) co-starring MacDonald
Carey, The Redhead From Wyoming (1952) with Alexander Scourby, War
Arrow (1953) with Jeff Chandler and probably the best of this group, The
Rare Breed from 1981 which co-starred James Stewart and Brian Keith.
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for small supporting roles in many of
these films played by then unknown contract players like Dennis Weaver,
Jay Silverheels (pre-Tonto on The Long Ranger TV show), James Best
and Jack Kelly.
