Peter Bogdonavich ("The Last Picture Show," "Paper Moon") directed this wonderful salute to the "screwball comedies" of the '40s and '50s. Superstar and Academy Award-winner Barbra Streisand ("The Prince of Tides," "Funny Girl") and Ryan O'Neal ("Irreconcilable Differences," "Love Story") star as an eccentric girl and an equally eccentric young professor who meet at a musicologist's convention and become involved in a zany chase up and down the hills of San Francisco to recover four identical flight bags containing jewels and secret government papers. This box office hit also features the film debut of comedienne Madeline Kahn ("Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein").

What's Up, Doc? Film Synopsis

Delightful screwball homageThere was a time when Peter Bogdanovich could apparently do no wrong. This is pretty spot on approximation of a 1930s screwball comedy blended with a distinctly early 70s vibe. I'm not much of a Barbara Streisand fan, but she's pretty wonderful here, as are Ryan O'Neal, Madeline Kahn and an impressive supporting cast..Score: 4/5

Deutsch
Der verwirrte Musikwissenschaftler Howard Bannister verweilt mit seiner Verlobten bei einem Musikologenkongress in San Francisco. Dort trifft er auf die chaotische Judy, die sich an ihn hängt und sich sogar als seine Verlobte ausgibt. Zur allgemeinen Verwirrung wechseln gleichzeitig vier identische Koffer im Bristol Hotel versehentlich die Besitzer: Einer enthält Diamanten und Juwelen, einer Geheimakten der Regierung, ein dritter gehört Judy und der vierte Howard. Das dadurch ausgelöste Desaster endet vor dem Kadi, der ausgerechnet Judys Vater ist.

Italiano
Giunto a San Francisco per una riunione della Federazione dei musicologi insieme alla insignificante fidanzata, il professor Howard s'imbatte nella dolce e svitata Judy Marwell, che gli si mette alle costole. Incidenti, qui pro quo e botte con intrusione di ladri e poliziotti.

Español

Magyar
Judy (Barbra Sreisand) temperamentumos ifjú diáklány, akinek be sem áll a szája és aki - ha kell - közönséges is tud lenni. Egy kongreszuson megismerkedik egy meglehetősen félénk zenetudóssal, Howarddal (Ryan O'Neal). A férfit elbűvöli, de el is bizonytalantja a lány szertelen viselkedése. A zenész, Judyval együtt akaratán kívül számos zűrzavaros helyzetbe keveredik, többek között ékszerrablásba is. A krimi és az érzelmes szerelmi románc határán táncoló filmkomédia őrült hajtóvadászatba torkollik.

Howard Bannister, un jeune chercheur quelque peu rigide, vient à San Francisco concourir pour une bourse en musicologie. À son hôtel, il rencontre une jeune femme qui, semant le désordre partout où elle passe, risque de bouleverser sa vie. Autour d'eux, une course à la valise se joue, qui va réunir une foule de personnages, pour une foule de quiproquos.

Português
Howard Bannister (Ryan O'Neal) é um tímido professor de província, que se desloca a São Francisco na companhia da namorada, para apresentar provas da sua teoria sobre as origens pré-históricas da música. No hotel, as suas malas são trocadas pelas de um ladrão de joias, com o produto do roubo lá dentro. Como se isso não bastasse, Bannister é também alvo das atenções e brincadeiras de Judy Maxwell (Barbra Streisand), uma rapariga moderna e irreverente, que lhe atrapalha a vida e o futuro casamento.

Český
Americká crazykomedie s hvězdným obsazením je založena na existenci čtyř navlas stejných kabel, mezi nimiž dojde k řadě záměn. V jednom zavazadle jsou šperky závratné ceny, v dalším jsou zase přísně tajné vládní dokumenty. Zcela bez důležitosti není ani zavazadlo třetí, ve kterém má jistá dáma svoji „garderóbu“ na cestu. Zdánlivě bezcenná je poslední taška, plná „kamení“, pokud by ovšem její obsah nesloužil k demonstraci převratné vědecké teorie. V důsledku toho dojde i k propletenci lidských osudů. Tak se seznámí dvě zcela rozdílné osobnosti – roztržitý hudební teoretik Howard a excentrická slečna Judy. Děj samotný se odehrává jednak ve velkém hotelu, jednak v ulicích San Francisca, a je „prošpikován“ množstvím gagů a nápadů. Film získal Cenu britských kritiků za nejlepší komedii roku 1972 a byl v témže roce vyhlášen za pátý nejnavštěvovanější film v USA i Kanadě.

Den distre professoren Howard Bannister drar avgårde til San Fransisco for å delta på en konferanse. Der håper han å vinne et stipend for å kunne forske videre på en av sine musikkteorier.

Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies summary, synopsis, reviews
Skin: A History of Nudity in the MoviesDocumentary2020

A definitive documentary on the history of nudity in the movies, beginning with the silent movie era through present day, examining the changes in morality that led to the use of nudity in films while emphasizing the political, sociological and artistic changes that shaped this rich history. Skin delves into the gender bias concerning nudity in motion pictures and will follow the revolution that has pushed for gender equality in feature films today. A deep discussion of pre-code Hollywood and its amoral roots, the censorship that “cleaned up” Hollywood and how the MPAA was formed leads into a discussion of how nudity changed cinematic culture through the decades. It culminates in a discussion of “what are nude scenes like in the age of the #METOO movement?”

The Thing Called Love summary, synopsis, reviews
The Thing Called LoveRomance1993

In Nashville, there are 10,000 singer-songwriters chasing success... with one chance in a million of getting it. For Miranda "no relation to Elvis" Presley (Samantha Mathis), that's one chance worth taking. Fresh from New York City, Miranda befriends three fellow hopefuls: shy Connecticut cowboy Kyle Davidson (Dermot Mulroney); Southern belle Linda Lue Linden (Sandra Bullock); and James Wright (River Phoenix), a cocky Texan with brooding good looks and a honeyed voice. Together they begin a rocky ride down Music City's well-worn highway, finding hope, heartbreak, happiness... and The Thing Called Love. Acclaimed director Peter Bogdanovich (The Last Picture Show, Paper Moon) presents a dynamic, music-filled film that features Phoenix in one of his final roles (and his only singing one), as well as a showy part for Bullock, who would rocket to stardom the following year in Speed.

Paper Moon summary, synopsis, reviews
Paper MoonClassics1973

The year is 1936. Orphaned Addie Loggins (Tatum O'Neal, in her film debut) is left in the care of unethical traveling Bible salesman Moses Pray (Ryan O'Neal, Tatum's dad), who may or may not be her father. En route to Addie's relatives, Moses learns that the 9-year-old is quite a handful: she smokes, cusses, and is almost as devious and manipulative as he is. They join forces as swindlers, working together so well that Addie is averse to breaking up the team — which is one reason that she sabotages the romance between Moses and good-time gal Trixie Delight (Madeline Kahn). Later, while attempting to square a $200 debt that Addie claims he owes her, Moses runs afoul of of a bootlegger (John Hillerman) and is nearly beaten to death by the criminal's twin-brother sheriff. Painfully pulling himself together, Moses gets Addie to her relatives, whereupon she adamantly refuses to leave his side. Photographed in black-and-white by Laszlo Kovacs, the film was made largely on location in Kansas and Missouri (an experience colorfully recalled by director Peter Bogdanovich in his 1972 book of essays Pieces of Time). 9-year-old Tatum O'Neal won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, beating out costar Kahn. Paper Moon later became a short-lived TV series, starring Ryan O'Neal lookalike Christopher Connelly and future Oscar winner Jodie Foster.

Daisy Miller summary, synopsis, reviews
Daisy MillerDrama1974

At a Swiss spa, upper-class expatriate American Frederick Winterbourne (Barry Brown) meets pretty, nouveau riche flirt Daisy Miller (Cybill Shepherd); her bratty, xenophobic little brother Randolph (James McMurtry); and her tremulous, nattering mother (Cloris Leachman). Despite warnings from his dowager aunt (Mildred Natwick) about Daisy's recklessness with men, Winterbourne finds himself drawn to her. When he encounters her again in Rome, he tries to convince her that her liberated behavior with an Italian admirer (Duilio Del Prete) may sully her reputation in aristocratic circles. But Winterbourne cannot reconcile his own feelings for Daisy with the manners that he is used to following, nor can he fathom how she may feel about him beneath her veneer of willful coquetry. After society matron Mrs. Walker (Eileen Brennan) ostracizes her, Daisy's final rash action reveals to Winterbourne how his old-fashioned mores may have sealed her fate. With a screenplay by Frederic Raphael and location shooting in Rome and Switzerland, Bogdanovich carefully recreated the rich surroundings and stultifying social strictures of James' story.
