Dirkie (1970) Lost in the Desert

 



Lost in the Desert, initially released as Dirkie, is a South African film from 1969/1970, written and directed by Jamie Uys, who also directed the better-known The Gods Must Be Crazy. Prominent roles were played by Wynand Uys as Dirkie Hayes (the young boy who is the central character), Jamie Uys as Anton Hayes (Dirkie's father), and Pieter Hauptfleisch as Uncle Pete (Dirkie's uncle). Wynand Uys is Jamie Uys's son in real life as well as in the acted roles in the film.

Some sources, such as lists of film credits and advertising posters, gave Jamie Uys's name as Jamie Hayes (in both roles, as director and actor of Anton Hayes' part), and also gave Wynand Uys's name as Dirkie Hayes, thus making the boy actor's name appear to be the same as the part he is acting. However, the re-issue gives the real names.

There is also disagreement amongst these sources about whether the English-language version appeared in 1969 or 1970. This discrepancy may possibly be due to different release dates in different English-speaking countries, although complete certainty about this does not seem to be available.

Suspense is a 1913 silent drama film directed by Phillips Smalley and Lois Weber. The Internet Movie Database lists Lon Chaney as appearing in the film in an uncredited role, however this is disputed. The film features an early example of a split screen shot.

Mary Pickford is Tess of Storm County (1914 & 1922)




Tess of Storm Country (1914)

Tess of Storm Country is a 1914 drama, based on the novel of the same name by Grace Miller White. It starred Mary Pickford, in a role she would reprise eight years later for the 1922 adaptation by John S. Robertson.

In 2006 the film was named to the National Film Registry by the Librarian of Congress, for its "cultural, aesthetic, or historical significance".

Cast
Mary Pickford - Tessibel Skinner
Harold Lockwood - Frederick Graves
Olive Carey - Teola Graves
David Hartford - Daddy Skinner
Louise Dunlap - Old Mother Moll

Directed by Edwin S. Porter
Produced by Famous Players Film Company
Written by B. P. Schulberg
Cinematography, Edwin S. Porter
Distributed by Famous Players Film Company(State's Rights Distribution)
Release date: March 20, 1914
Running time: 80 minutes



Tess of the Storm Country (1922)

Tess of the Storm Country is a 1922 melodrama starring Mary Pickford, directed by John S. Robertson, and based upon a Grace Miller White novel. It is a remake of Pickford's film from eight years prior and was subsequently remade a decade later as a sound version starring Janet Gaynor.

Leading actress Pickford's previous film Little Lord Fauntleroy flopped critically. Pickford realized she had to make a movie the audience loved to see her in.

She wanted to play the role again, because she loved the character and stated the crew had more abilities with a bigger budget and better technology.

David Torrence - Elias Graves

On Golden Pond (2001) Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer



 


On Golden Pond is a 2001 television adaptation of the play starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. The movie originally aired on April 29, 2001 and was promoted as a live television event. The movie was filmed on a sound stage in Los Angeles, CA.

Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer had previously starred in the highly successful 1965 film, The Sound of Music, and their reuniting in this play was part of the promotion for the original broadcast of the film. The film is also notable because the author of the play, Ernest Thompson, directed this version and Craig Anderson, the producer/director of the original Off Broadway and Broadway productions of the play, was the executive producer.

Thompson provided rewrites to his original play for this broadcast. Most of them in Act II and centering on the characters of Bill Ray and Charlie Martin.

Exactly as seen on CBS the night it aired.
