Gutes Exemplar; Umschlag stw. geringfügig berieben. - Englisch. - Fred Astaire (* 10. Mai 1899 in Omaha, Nebraska; † 22. Juni 1987 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien; eigentlich Frederick Austerlitz) war ein US-amerikanischer Tänzer, Choreograf, Sänger und Schauspieler. Seine Karriere in Film, Fernsehen und Theater umspannte insgesamt 76 Jahre. Gemeinsam mit Ginger Rogers bildete er in zehn Tanzfilmen ein weltbekanntes Leinwandpaar. Er gilt als prägende Gestalt in der Entwicklung des Tanz- und Musicalfilms. Besonders berühmt wurde er für seine Stepptanznummern. Fred Astaire wurde vom American Film Institute auf Platz 5 in der Liste der 25 größten männlichen Filmlegenden gewählt. ... Die Filmgesellschaft RKO Pictures nahm ihn 1933 unter Vertrag und lieh ihn zunächst für den Film Dancing Lady mit Joan Crawford und Clark Gable an MGM aus. Danach drehte RKO im selben Jahr mit ihm und Ginger Rogers in Nebenrollen den Film Flying Down to Rio, der Dolores del Río groß herausstellte, ein Erfolg an der Kinokasse wurde und den eigentlichen Durchbruch in Astaires Filmkarriere darstellte. Die positive Reaktion auf Flying Down to Rio war derart groß, dass Astaire und Rogers insgesamt neun weitere Filme zusammen drehten, in denen ihre Figuren sich nach anfänglicher Abneigung ineinander verlieben und gemeinsame Tanz- und Gesangsnummern durchführen. Astaire und Rogers schafften in den 1930er-Jahren den Sprung unter die zehn kassenträchtigsten Kinostars und sind bis heute das wohl bekannteste Tanzduo der Filmgeschichte. Die beiden sangen in ihren Filmen die Hits von populären Komponisten wie George Gershwin, Irving Berlin und Cole Porter. Astaire sang stets selbst und lehnte im Gegensatz zu vielen seiner Kollegen Stimm-Doubles und Nachsynchronisierungen konsequent ab. Er nahm auch zahlreiche Schallplatten auf. Von ihren neun Astaire-Rogers-Filmen werden insbesondere Ich tanz’ mich in dein Herz hinein (1935) von Mark Sandrich und Swing Time (1936) von George Stevens herausgehoben. ...

As a profoundly welcome result, his brilliance is there to be discovered and enjoyed by generation after generation. He has been compared to Bach by George Balanchine; Merce Cunningham calls him a genius; Rudolf Nureyev considers him the greatest American dancer in history. But what exactly is it that makes Astaire's dancing so extraordinarily beautiful and timeless? What is it in his choreographic style that is so distinctive, so inimitable? To help answer these questions, John Mueller has made extensive use of recently released material from a number of Hollywood archives and of interviews-including one with Astaire himself-and has assembled from every one of Astaire's filmed dance numbers an essential sequence of frame enlargements (there are more than 2,300 in all) to accompany his thorough, lucid descriptions of what is being danced and how. In this way he anatomizes Astaire's entire filmed dance career-movie by movie (there are thirty-one chapters, one for each of his musical films), number by number, almost step by step. And he considers, as well, the films themselves-here are incisive evaluations of the scripts and the musical scores, of Astaire's partners and his supporting casts. And in an extended introduction, the author examines Astaire's career on stage and television as well as in film; his original and influential use of the movie camera; and his significant contribution to the integrated musical. He discusses Astaire's personality (so different from his on-screen persona), his working methods, the problems and successes he had with his various co-stars, and the nature of his association with such songwriters as Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, the Gershwins, Cole Porter, and Johnny Mercer. … (Verlagstext)

(ca. 38 x 28 cm). 16 S. Original-Broschur mit illustriertem Deckeltitel (Abbildung: Hitler und Göring). (= Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung: Nr. 50, 1941). Einband leicht gebräunt und gerändert, sonst gut erhalten. Altersentsprechend guter Zustand. Die Ausgabe erschien am Tag der Kriegserklärung der USA an die Achsenmächte und damit dem Eintritt der Vereinigten Staaten in den Zweiten Weltkrieg. Die ersten 2 Seiten zeigen Hitler mit mehreren Außenministern verbündeter Länder wie Finnland, Kroatien, Italien und Bulgarien bei einem Treffen in Berlin. Später folgt ein längerer Text zur "Leistung" deutscher Schnellboote auf See. Ein Kurzbeitrag widmet sich der Verbindung der US-Regierung mit mehreren jüdischen Filmproduzenten Hollywoods. Ein weiterer Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit den sowjetischen Ratas (Flugzeugen), die aus deutscher Sicht in der englischen Propaganda maßlos überhöht werden. Es folgt eine Doppelseite mit dem Titel "Gefangene erzählen. 14 Einzelschicksale aus der Sowjet-Union", hierfür wurden Texte und Porträts versammelt. Was wie Journalismus aussieht ist jedoch Teil einer interessanten Propaganda, denn die 14 Gefangenen werden ausnahmslos mit ihren (schlechten) Erfahrungen in der Roten Armee und im Land daheim zitiert. Es folgen einige unterhaltende Artikel für die Berliner, sowie auch zahlreiche zeitgenössische Werbeanzeigen. Aufgrund des Zeitpunkts Ende 1941 (Im Krieg mit der UdSSR, anstehender Kriegseintritt der USA) liegt hier eine sehr politische Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung vor. Heute seltene Ausgabe der einstigen Illustrierten der Reichshauptstadt Berlin vor 1945! - - - ACHTUNG! Dieses Buch kann wegen seines Gewichts oder seiner Größe nur als PAKET verschickt werden.
