Today's review on MyOldAddiction.com, Androcles And The Lion by #ChesterErskine starring #JeanSimmons and #VictorMature, "The performances are all delightful despite the uneven direction and screenplay"

BEST MUSIC 1955: To watch LOVE IS A MANY-SPLENDORED THING today is to be appalled at the sight of Jennifer Jones with her eyes pulled back to play a half-Asian woman, but audiences at the time ate the romance up, sort of a sudsy version of From Here To Eternity with the same beach scene redone in bright Technicolour. Part of what helped sell the movie was the hit title song by SAMMY FAIN and PAUL FRANCIS WEBSTER, which won an Oscar, while ALFRED NEWMAN earned him another award for Music Score of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture. Fain and Webster both won previously for "Secret Love" from Calamity Jane and were nominated for "April Love" (April Love, 1957), "A Certain Smile" (A Certain Smile), "A Very Precious Love" (Marjorie Morningstar, both 1958), "Strange Are The Ways of Love" (The Stepmother, 1972), "A World That Never Was" (Half A House, 1976). Fain was nominated for "That Old Feeling" (Walter Wanger's Vogues of 1938, 1937), "Tender Is The Night" (Tender Is The Night, 1962), "Someone's Waiting For You" (The Rescuers, 1977). He died in 1989. Webster also won for "The Shadow of Your Smile" (The Sandpiper, 1965), and was nominated for "Remember Me To Carolina" (Minstrel Man, 1944), "Friendly Persuasion-Thee I Love" (Friendly Persuasion, 1956), "The Green Leaves of Summer" (The Alamo, 1960), "Love Theme From El Cid-The Falcon and the Dove" (El Cid, 1961), "Love Song From Mutiny on the Bounty-Follow Me" (Mutiny On The Bounty), "Tender Is The Night" (Tender Is The Night, both 1962), "So Little Time" (55 Days At Peking, 1963), "A Time For Love" (An American Dream, 1966). He died in 1984. Newman also won for Alexander's Ragtime Band (1938), Tin Pan Alley (1940), The Song of Bernadette (1943), Mother Wore Tights (1947), With A Song In My Heart (1952), Call Me Madam (1953), The King and I (1956) and Camelot (1967), and was nominated for The Hurricane, The Prisoner of Zenda (both 1937), The Cowboy and the Lady, The Goldwyn Follies (both 1938), The Rains Came, Wuthering Heights, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, They Shall Have Music (all 1939), The Mark of Zorro (1940), Ball of Fire, How Green Was My Valley (both 1941), The Black Swan, My Gal Sal (both 1942),

I'm working on an episode of My Criterions on Costa-Gavras's Missing, a movie I'm wholly addicted to and can never stop watching. If you have a story to share about the movie, or if perhaps you were yourself murdered by an illegal dictatorship, send me a message.

Today's review on MyOldAddiction.com, Suspiria by #LucaGuadagnino, "Little of what makes sense is particularly memorable"
