The Big Parade is a 1925 American silent film directed by King Vidor starring John Gilbert Renée Adorée Hobart Bosworth Tom O'Brien and Karl Dane. Adapted by Harry Behn from the autobiographical novel Plumes by Laurence Stallings with titles by Joseph W. Farnham the film is about an idle rich boy who joins the US Army's Rainbow Division and is sent to France to fight in World War I becomes a friend of two working class men experiences the horrors of trench warfare and finds love with a French girl. Although other anti-war films chronologically preceded it The Big Parade is nevertheless an early film to have neither glorified the war nor ignored its human costs. It heavily influenced a many subsequent war films especially All Quiet on the Western Front 1930. The Big Parade was selected for preservation in the U. S. National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally historically or aesthetically significant". The program states it was sold only in theaters. The Big Parade was one of the greatest hits of the 1920s earning gross rentals of $4990000 in the United States and $1141000 overseas on a budget of $382000 during its initial release with MGM recording a profit of $3.4 million its biggest of the silent era. The domestic earnings were MGM's biggest until the release of Gone With the Wind. It played in some larger cities continually for a year or more boosting Gilbert's career and made Renée Adorée a major star. The film ultimately grossed $18-$22 million in worldwide rentals and is sometimes proclaimed as the most successful film of the silent era although it is most likely this record falls to The Birth of a Nation. The film won the Photoplay Magazine Medal for best film of the year in 1925. The medal is considered the first significant annual movie award prior to the establishment of the Oscars. The film's tremendous success established Vidor as one of MGM's top directors for the rest of his career. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Production paperback
19593114BB1959. New York Random House 1959. 20 x 28 cm. Unpaginated. Approximately 40 pages with many illustrations throughout. Original Softcover. Small damage to the frontcover tiny hole in the cover. Otherwise in very good condition with minor signs of external wear. Ben-Hur is a 1959 American epic historical drama film directed by William Wyler produced by Sam Zimbalist for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and starring Charlton Heston Stephen Boyd Jack Hawkins Hugh Griffith and Haya Harareet. A remake of the 1925 silent film with the same name Ben-Hur was adapted from Lew Wallace's 1880 novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. The screenplay is credited to Karl Tunberg but includes contributions from Maxwell Anderson S. N. Behrman Gore Vidal and Christopher Fry. Ben-Hur had the largest budget $15.175 million as well as the largest sets built of any film produced at the time. Costume designer Elizabeth Haffenden oversaw a staff of 100 wardrobe fabricators to make the costumes and a workshop employing 200 artists and workmen provided the hundreds of friezes and statues needed in the film. Filming commenced on May 18 1958 and wrapped on January 7 1959 with shooting lasting for 12 to 14 hours a day six days a week. Pre-production began at Cinecittà around October 1957 and post-production took six months. Under cinematographer Robert L. Surtees MGM executives made the decision to film the picture in a widescreen format which Wyler strongly disliked. More than 200 camels and 2500 horses were used in the shooting of the film with some 10000 extras. The sea battle was filmed using miniatures in a huge tank on the back lot at the MGM Studios in Culver City California. The nine-minute chariot race has become one of cinema's most famous sequences and the film score composed and conducted by Miklós Rózsa is the longest ever composed for a film and was highly influential on cinema for more than 15 years. Following a $14.7 million marketing effort Ben-Hur premiered at Loew's State Theatre in New York City on November 18 1959. It was the fastest-grossing as well as the highest grossing film of 1959 in the process becoming the second-highest grossing film in history at the time after Gone with the Wind. It won a record 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture Best Director Wyler Best Actor in a Leading Role Heston Best Actor in a Supporting Role Griffith and Best Cinematography Color Surtees an accomplishment that was not equaled until Titanic in 1997 and then again by The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in 2003. Ben-Hur also won three Golden Globe Awards including Best Motion Picture Drama Best Director and Best Supporting Actor Motion Picture for Stephen Boyd. Today Ben-Hur is widely considered to be one of the greatest films ever made and in 1998 the American Film Institute ranked it the 72nd best American film and the 2nd best American epic film in the AFI's 10 Top 10. In 2004 the National Film Preservation Board selected Ben-Hur for preservation by the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress for being a "culturally historically or aesthetically significant" motion picture.
