George Cukor 1960-1981

تفصیل

George Cukor had always experimented within his relatively broad lane, often finding nuanced ways to explore women’s lives, including their sex lives, under the constraints of the Production Code. But after winning the best Director Oscar for Best Picture-winner My Fair Lady in 1964, Cukor’s career slowed down considerably, and as the 60s turned into the 70s and both gender roles and the movies went through massive changes, Cukor was still making the same kinds of things he would have made at the peak of the studio system, regarding which he adopted an extremely defensive stance. Then, suddenly, in 1981, with Rich and Famous, Cukor caught up with the sexual revolution – a decade too late.(00:00) “George Cukor’s filmography is his most eloquent defense”(07:21) Thriving Under the Studio System(11:43) Heller In Pink Tights and The Chapman Report(21:26) My Fair Lady and Cukor in the Sixties(40:53) Justine(48:03) The “I’ll do anything” Tour and Financial Woes(54:40) Rich and Famous
