Produced and directed by acclaimed actor\, Dick Powell\, the movie stars Robert Mitchum and Curt Jürgens as the American and German commanding officers\, engaged in a prolonged and deadly battle of wits that tests both men and their crews. Each man grows to respect his opponent.The film was based on the 1956 novel by Denys Rayner\, a British naval officer involved in anti-submarine warfare throughout the Battle of the Atlantic. \nThe film’s destroyer escort USS Haynes (DE-181) was represented by the USS Whitehurst\, filmed in the Pacific Ocean near Oahu\, Hawaii. Many of Whitehurst’s crewmen acted in the film; the phone talkers\, the gun and depth charge crews\,  and all of the men seen abandoning ship were real Whitehurst crewmen. \nRobert Mitchum was an American leading man of enormous ability\, who sublimated his talents beneath an air of disinterest.  A master of accents and seemingly unconcerned about his star image\, he played in both forgettable and unforgettable films with unswerving nonchalance\, leading many to overlook the prodigious talent he could bring to a project that he found compelling. \nDirector Howard Hawks remained unconvinced about Mitchum’s self-proclaimed indifference towards acting\, and confronted him on the set of “El Dorado”\, telling him\, “You pretend not to care\, but you really work very hard.” Mitchum answered\, “Don’t tell anybody.” \nActually\, his craft and durability were achieved only through a lot of hard\, private study. He learned how little the camera needed to be shown\, and no one has matched his weary swagger. Unlike many\, Mitchum realized that stillness and the ability to listen were the cornerstones of movie acting. He created his own sense of space and time\, and offered the movie equivalent of a kind of jazz cool\, a seamless fusion of thought and action. \nAlthough underrated during his lifetime\, Mitchum is now recognized as a master of the film art of stillness and underplaying. He appears on the American Film Institute’s list of the top 25 greatest male stars of classic American cinema. URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-the-enemy-below/ LOCATION:S.

This lavish 1972 production by the National Ballet of Canada beautifully tells the story\, based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale\, about the sleeping princess who can only be awakened by love’s first kiss. \nThe premiere performance of the ballet took place at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg on January 15\, 1890. The second of Tchaikovsky’s three ballets\, the work has become one of the classical repertoire’s most famous ballets.

Zachary Morgan (Joseph Cotton) meet while seated across from each other on a train bound for Pinehill. Each has a week’s Christmas furlough\, and as they begin to fall in love\, each hopes to hide the secret of an unhappy past for the brief length of their time together.  Also starring Shirley Temple and Spring Byington\, the 1944 film was among the first to explore the uncertain territory of postwar adjustment. \nGinger Rogers\, by the 1940s was showing a gift for tougher\, weightier roles\, such as her award-winning performance in Kitty Foyle.  She could be intensely moving without ever succumbing to sentimentality. That’s a gift she also brings to I’ll Be Seeing You. \nNew York Times critic Bosley Crowther was particularly struck by Cotten’s performance\, writing\, “He plays the shell-shocked veteran with supreme restraint and with a calm and determined independence that beautifully reveals his pain and pride.” URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-ill-be-seeing-you/ LOCATION:S.

Her articles about her fictitious Connecticut farm\, husband\, and baby are admired by housewives across the country. Her publisher\, Alexander Yardley\, is unaware of the charade and insists that Elizabeth host a Christmas dinner for returning war hero Jefferson Jones\, who read all of her recipes while in the hospital and is so fond of her that his nurse\, Mary Lee\, wrote a letter to the publisher. Facing a career-ending scandal\, not only for herself but for her editor\, Dudley Beecham\, Lane is forced to comply. In desperation\, Elizabeth agrees to marry her friend\, John Sloan\, who has a farm in Connecticut. She also enlists the help of her uncle\, chef Felix Bassenak\, who has been providing her with the recipes for her articles. \nAt Sloan’s farm on Christmas Eve\, Elizabeth meets Norah\, the housekeeper\, as well as a neighbor’s baby whom they pretend is their baby.

DESCRIPTION:Based on an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ 1838 novel Oliver Twist\, this 1968 British musical drama stars Ron Moody\, Oliver Reed\, Shani Wallis\, and Mark Lester as Dickens’ fabled workhouse orphan.  Winner of 6 Academy Awards\, the production contains such musical numbers as “Consider Yourself\,” “As Long As He Needs Me\,” and “Where Is Love?” \nRoger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times awarded the film four out of four stars. “Sir Carol Reed’s Oliver! is a treasure of a movie\,” he wrote. “It is very nearly universal entertainment\, one of those rare films like The Wizard of Oz that appeals in many ways to all sorts of people. It will be immediately exciting to the children\, I think\, because of the story and the unforgettable Dickens characters. Adults will like it for the sweep and zest of its production. And as a work of popular art\, it will stand the test of time.   It is as well-made as a film can be.” URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-oliver/ LOCATION:S.

Yet\, how many truly memorable movies about the supernatural can you actually name? The Uninvited\, is a grade-A 1944 production from Paramount Pictures\, not a studio usually associated with horror films. Produced by Charles Brackett (a frequent screenplay collaborator with director Billy Wilder)\, the film is a handsomely mounted thriller with a first-rate cast\, atmospheric cinematography by Charles Lang\, Victor Young’s emotionally gripping score (which introduces the song “Stella by Starlight”)\, and a highly original story that invites Freudian interpretations of the characters while inserting a lesbian subtext and a droll sense of humor. \nWhile on holiday\, music critic Roderick Fitzgerald (Ray Milland) and his sister Pamela (Ruth Hussey) discover an abandoned mansion on the Cornish coast. With its remote yet breathtaking location on a sea cliff\, Windward House completely captivates them with its possibilities; Roderick sees it as an ideal workplace where he can finally devote himself to his true love\, composing music. But when they set out to purchase it from its owner Commander Beech (Donald Crisp)\, they encounter resistance from his granddaughter Stella Meredith (Gail Russell)\, who has a strong attachment to the house. It is soon learned that Stella’s mother died there under mysterious circumstances. Nevertheless\, the sale goes through and Roderick and Pamela move into Windward House – and almost immediately begin to experience strange occurrences. The sound of footsteps and mournful sobbing keeps them awake at night\, the dog barks at something no one can see\, and the overpowering scent of flowers and unexplained cold waves often permeate rooms\, defying any logical explanation. Windward House is obviously haunted but why? Roderick and Pamela begin to uncover the mystery with the help of Stella whose visits to the house increase the spectral activity and place the young girl in great danger.  While a Freudian reading of the film might have seemed inappropriate during the forties\, it’s impossible to ignore now\, especially the scenes involving Miss Holloway (Cornelia Otis Skinner)\, the sinister asylum director\, whose obsession with the former Mrs. Meredith is all too clearly spelled out. \nWhile it might have chilled audiences of its era\, The Uninvited is not a frightening film by contemporary standards. It is\, however\, an intriguing mood piece\,  subtle and suggestive in its imagery.  Incidents that could easily appear cliched and trite – a seance by candlelight\, doors that open and close by themselves\, flowers that wilt suddenly in the presence of something evil – convey a genuine sense of the otherworldly. \nJeff Stafford for TCM URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-the-uninvited-2/ LOCATION:S.

Yet\, how many truly memorable movies about the supernatural can you actually name? The Uninvited\, is a grade-A 1944 production from Paramount Pictures\, not a studio usually associated with horror films. Produced by Charles Brackett (a frequent screenplay collaborator with director Billy Wilder)\, the film is a handsomely mounted thriller with a first-rate cast\, atmospheric cinematography by Charles Lang\, Victor Young’s emotionally gripping score (which introduces the song “Stella by Starlight”)\, and a highly original story that invites Freudian interpretations of the characters while inserting a lesbian subtext and a droll sense of humor. \nWhile on holiday\, music critic Roderick Fitzgerald (Ray Milland) and his sister Pamela (Ruth Hussey) discover an abandoned mansion on the Cornish coast. With its remote yet breathtaking location on a sea cliff\, Windward House completely captivates them with its possibilities; Roderick sees it as an ideal workplace where he can finally devote himself to his true love\, composing music. But when they set out to purchase it from its owner Commander Beech (Donald Crisp)\, they encounter resistance from his granddaughter Stella Meredith (Gail Russell)\, who has a strong attachment to the house. It is soon learned that Stella’s mother died there under mysterious circumstances. Nevertheless\, the sale goes through and Roderick and Pamela move into Windward House – and almost immediately begin to experience strange occurrences. The sound of footsteps and mournful sobbing keeps them awake at night\, the dog barks at something no one can see\, and the overpowering scent of flowers and unexplained cold waves often permeate rooms\, defying any logical explanation. Windward House is obviously haunted but why? Roderick and Pamela begin to uncover the mystery with the help of Stella whose visits to the house increase the spectral activity and place the young girl in great danger.  While a Freudian reading of the film might have seemed inappropriate during the forties\, it’s impossible to ignore now\, especially the scenes involving Miss Holloway (Cornelia Otis Skinner)\, the sinister asylum director\, whose obsession with the former Mrs. Meredith is all too clearly spelled out. \nWhile it might have chilled audiences of its era\, The Uninvited is not a frightening film by contemporary standards. It is\, however\, an intriguing mood piece\,  subtle and suggestive in its imagery.  Incidents that could easily appear cliched and trite – a seance by candlelight\, doors that open and close by themselves\, flowers that wilt suddenly in the presence of something evil – convey a genuine sense of the otherworldly. \nJeff Stafford for TCM URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-the-uninvited/ LOCATION:S.

He was cellist\, co-founder and executive director of the Boston Chamber Music Society; principal cellist of the Handel & Haydn Society; cellist of the Boston Musica Viva. Throughout his career Coppock has maintained an active teaching life as a cellist and chamber music coach. Since 2013\, he has led an intensive year chamber music course for gifted high schools students called QuartetLab in which students spend an entire year studying one piece of music in depth\, with Coppock serving both as cellist and coach. This program will be relocated to the Rivers School beginning in fall 2019. \nCoppock has held teaching positions at the Longy School of Music\, Brown University\, the University of New Hampshire\, the Boston Conservatory and the New England Conservatory.

Coppock returned to the SPCO in 2013\, the highlight of which was being part of the leadership team that oversaw the construction and opening of a new 1100-seat purpose-built concert hall dubbed by the NYTimes as “acousticslly ideal.. . .a hall that allows clarity and detail in the playing to come through while providing orchestral resonance and bloom.” He retired from the SPCO at the end of 2015. \nPrior to Saint Paul\, Coppock served as the founding director of the League of American Orchestra’s Orchestra Leadership Academy\, as deputy director of Carnegie Hall\, and as executive director of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra from 1992-1997. \nCoppock has also been active as a Board member\, at the Harlem Boys Choir\, the Interlochen Center for the Arts and the Board of Overseers at the Curtis Institute of Music.

The come-hither meow of Diaz’s upward slides and her sustained pianissimo fade-out were miracles of color\, texture\, and feeling.” Others have remarked on her “indefatigably expressive” playing\, “polished technique\,” and “vivid and elegant playing.” \nA fierce champion of contemporary music\, Gabriela has been fortunate to work closely with many significant composers on their own compositions\, namely Pierre Boulez\, Magnus Lindberg\, Frederic Rzewski\, Alvin Lucier\, John Zorn\, Roger Reynolds\, Steve Reich\, Brian Ferneyhough\, and Helmut Lachenmann. Gabriela is a member of several Boston-area contemporary music groups\, including Sound Icon\, Ludovico Ensemble\, Dinosuar Annex\, Firebird Ensemble\, Boston Musica Viva\, and Callithumpian Consort.

He has toured nationally with bands in various genres\, performed across Ireland\, and released multiple recordings of Celtic music that can be heard on radio stations in Ireland and Scotland as well as around New England. He is also an Emmy®-nominated composer who has written soundtracks for audiobooks and television and appeared as a guest on over 75 albums. His lifelong passion for history helps bring to life the traditional music around which he built his career. \nPutting a fresh spin on traditional Irish music\, the Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki Trio delivers and dynamic show full of foot-stompin’ fiddle tunes and classic sing-alongs. Fiddler Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki is joined by fellow New Hampshire natives Matt Jensen on guitar and Chris Noyes on upright bass. Their shows blend traditional Celtic music with their own original material\, drawing on multiple genres to produce a unique sound. For their performance at OPA\, Jordan brings with him an all-star group of 5 musicians\, including members of the Trio. \nJordan was first recognized as part of New Hampshire’s musical culture at the age of 12\, when he was the youngest member of the delegation representing the state at The Smithsonian Folklife Festival. He grew up on a combination of contra dances and Celtic music\, releasing multiple recordings and performing regularly at dances\, parties and even governor’s inaugurations until leaving for college in Middlebury\, VT. After graduating\, Jordan spent time in both New York City and Ireland\, exploring musical possibilities and honing his craft. He then began to carve out a career for himself back home in NH\, working with multiple rock bands while continuing to develop his unique approach to traditional Celtic music. \n \nIn 2012 Jordan released Into The Cold\, an all-original record drawing on multiple genres held together by the thread of Celtic fiddle melodies. The record has been described as “hauntingly beautiful” and “an instrumental coming-of-age story.” Shortly after the release\, he formed The Jordan TW Trio by recruiting Matthew Jensen and Chris Noyes\, from Into The Cold\, to perform with him around New England. In 2013 New Hampshire’s Traditional Arts Council named him a Master Artist. In 2015\, the trio released their first record\, Return To The Castle\, which represents a return to more traditional roots. While it incorporates several fresh original pieces\, the entirely acoustic\, instrumental record is stacked with traditional favorites ranging from haunting waltzes to foot-stomping reels and was described as “bright\, crisp and energetic” by The Boston Irish Reporter. The trio released their first live album\, Live At CedarHouse\, in July of 2018\, earning the praise “brilliant interpretations of Celtic standards” from Bill Copeland Music News and heavily featuring their vocals for the first time. \nIn 2016\, The NH Humanities Council added Jordan to their presenters roster with his program\, “Songs of Emigration: Storytelling through traditional Irish music.” Since then he has brought the educational program to over 45 libraries\, historical societies and community centers around the state. \nAfter producing a feature piece on Jordan\, WMUR’s New Hampshire Chronicle commissioned him to compose and produce a new theme music package for their nightly show.

Her awe-inspiring funeral\, attended by seven million devoted followers\, is the opening to the musical\, with the narrator then bringing the story back by over a decade\, explaining how a B-movie actress became the object of such controversial devotion. \nEvita stars Madonna in the title role\, with Jonathan Pryce and Antonio Banderas. Directed by Alan Parker and written by Parker and Oliver Stone\, the film production of Evita was as extravagant as the subject matter; the 84-day shoot involved 93 full cast members\, over 40\,000 extras\, and totaled out at over 60 million dollars. A replica of the Peron palace was under construction in London\, since shooting had been forbidden at the original location. However\, Madonna was able to persuade Argentina’s President Menem to grant access to Casa Rosada for the famous balcony scene. \n \nAt a benefit to aid the victims of an earthquake\, rural-girl-turned-actress Eva Duarte (Madonna) meets Colonel Juan Perón (Jonathan Pryce)\, an ambitious politician with designs on the presidency. They fall in love and Eva encourages his plans to become dictator of the country\, even using her star power to get him released from prison when his enemies order his arrest. On February 24 1946\, Perón is elected president with a huge majority\, but it quickly becomes apparent that it’s his glamorous wife who’s the focus of the people’s love. \nAffectionately nicknamed ‘Evita’ by her millions of devoted followers\, Eva founds a huge charity to alleviate the suffering of the nation’s poor. Throughout it all\, the beautiful first lady is dressed in the latest high fashion and she is accused of being a distraction for the people\, rather than an aid\, by the embittered and cynical narrator (Antonio Banderas.) With millions of people still utterly devoted to her\, Evita continues to appear in public\, dazzling her supporters and enfuriating her enemies\, despite being secretly consumed with terminal cancer. At the end of the musical\, she dies\, aged 33\, resulting in hysterical mourning throughout Argentina. \nEvita was nominated for six Oscar®s\, including nominations for Cinematography\, Art Direction\, and Editing. Lloyd Webber and Rice took home the Academy Award for Music (Original Song)\, for “You Must Love Me.” The worldwide gross for the film totaled over 140 million.

DESCRIPTION:The Long\, Long Trailer is a 1954 American road comedy film based on a novel of the same name written by Clinton Twiss in 1951 about a couple who buy a new travel trailer home and spend a year traveling across the United States. \nThe film stars Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz\, and features Marjorie Main\, Keenan Wynn\, and Bert Freed. The picture was directed by Vincente Minnelli\, working from a screenplay by Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich. \nThe Long\, Long Trailer stars Lucy and Desi as an upwardly mobile couple who decide to buy a trailer so they can live together while his job takes him around the country. Thanks to their naivete in such matters\, they end up with a huge 1953 36-foot Redman New Moon model\, that costs five times what they planned. Their “seeing America” trip turns out to be a slapstick series of disasters\, topped by Lucy’s foolish decision to hide a heavy rock collection in the trailer as Desi tries to maneuver a treacherous mountain road through the Sierra Nevada mountains. \n \nAt MGM\, the same team that had made Father of the Bride (1950)\, and its sequel\, Father’s Little Dividend (1951) – producer Pandro Berman\, director Vincente Minnelli\, and screenwriters Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett – re-worked a non-fiction book about a middle-aged couple who spent a year traveling cross-country in a mobile home. By making them honeymooners\, and making the husband Latin and the wife wacky\, the script was perfect for the king and queen of television. \nArnaz\, in fact\, had tried to buy the rights to the book\, but Berman had beaten him to it. At first\, MGM executives wanted no part of it. because it was thought people would not pay money to see Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in a movie when they could watch the couple on television for free (I Love Lucy). Arnaz made a $25\,000 bet with the studio that the movie would make more money than the current highest grossing comedy at that time (Father of the Bride\, starring Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor\, and also directed by Vincente Minnelli.) Arnaz won the bet. URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/the-long-long-trailer/ LOCATION:S.

The film is based loosely on the autobiographical book Out of Africa written by Isak Dinesen\, which was published in 1937\, with additional material from Dinesen’s book Shadows on the Grass and other sources. The book was adapted into a screenplay by the writer Kurt Luedtke\, and filmed in 1984. \nThe film tells the autobiographical tale of Baroness Karen Blixen (Dinesen’s true name)\, portrayed by Streep\, and her time spent on a coffee plantation in East Africa in the early twentieth century. Blixen\, in the film\, marries Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke (Klaus Maria Brandauer) and moves with him to Africa. The marriage is most unsatisfactory as he is a womanizer who eventually leaves her to take care of the plantation on her own. The Baroness meets a hunter named Denys (Redford)\, and the two begin an idyllic love affair. \nThe idea of adapting the Dinesen’s memoirs to the screen had been thrown around for decades before the project was finally picked up by Universal Studios. (Orson Welles and David Lean had both considered making the film\, and Nicholas Roeg thought about making the film with Julie Christie starring as Karen.) Sydney Pollack was the one to produce the film in the 1980s\, along with directing it. \n \nOut of Africa was filmed on location in Africa using descendants of several people of the Kikuyu tribe who are named in the book\, including the grandson of chief Kinyanjui who played his grandfather. Much of it was filmed in the Langata area near the actual Ngong Hills outside Nairobi. As Karen’s farmhouse was at the time of filming a part of a local nursing school\, the filming took place in her nearby first house “Mbogani”\, which is a dairy today. Her actual house\, known as “Mbagathi” is now the Karen Blixen Museum. A substantial part of the filming took place in the Scott house and in a recreation of 1910s Nairobi built in an area of unoccupied land in Langata. \nThe film won 7 Academy Awards\, including Best Picture\, Best Director (Sydney Pollack)\, Best Art Direction\, Best Cinematography\, Best Adapted Screenplay\, Best Original Score\, and Best Sound.

Mankiewicz and produced by Darryl F. Zanuck\, It was based on the 1946 short story “The Wisdom of Eve” by Mary Orr. \nThe film stars Bette Davis as Margo Channing\, a highly regarded but aging Broadway star. Anne Baxter plays Eve Harrington\, an ambitious young fan who manoeuvres herself into Channing’s life\, ultimately threatening Channing’s career and her personal relationships. The film co-stars George Sanders\, Celeste Holm\, and features Gary Merrill\, Hugh Marlowe\, Thelma Ritter\, and Marilyn Monroe in one of her earliest roles. \nZanuck’s first choice for the leading role was Marlene Dietrich\, but Mankiewicz though her too artificial to being Margo to life. His choice was stage star Gertrude Lawrence\, but her agent made several unrealistic demands. In desperation Zanuck placed a call to Bette Davis\, then considered box-office poison after a string of flops. The two had not spoken in years\, the result of a feud when she resigned as president of the Motion Picture Academy® in 1942. In fact\, when he called her on the set of her current film\, Payment on Demand (1951)\, she thought it was a prank. After convincing her he really was Zanuck and was offering her a role\, he told her that she would have to have her costumes fitted and be ready to shoot on location in ten days. Once she read the script\, she was more than happy to oblige. \nAs soon as word of her casting got out\, Mankiewicz got calls from directors who had worked with Davis warning him that she would try to take over the picture. The one exception was William Wyler — who had directed her in Jezebel (1938)\, The Letter (1940)\, and The Little Foxes (1941). He congratulated Mankiewicz on his good fortune and assured him that he’d enjoy working with her\, a prediction that proved correct. \n20th Century-Fox set a record for Oscar® nominations with All About Eve that has been matched (by Titanic in 1997) but never beaten. Greeted with almost universal acclaim on its initial release\, the film has become a classic whose lines\, characters and story elements are now firmly entrenched in popular culture.

Peck’s Brentwood Production also co-produced the film. \nThe film is based on the 1961 novel by Leo Rosten. The book in turn was loosely based on the World War II experiences of Rosten’s close friend Ralph Greenson\, M.D.\, while Greenson was a captain in the Army Medical Corps supporting the U.S. Army Air Forces and stationed at Yuma Army Airfield in Yuma\, Arizona. Greenson is well known for his work on “empathy” and was one of the first in his field to seriously associate posttraumatic stress disorder (years before that terminology was developed) with wartime experiences. \nIn the film\, Captain Josiah Newman is head of the neuro-psychiatric Ward 7 at the Colfax Army Air Field (AAF) military hospital\, located in the Arizona desert in 1944. \nTreating shell-shocked\, schizophrenic\, and catatonic veterans\, the doctor takes a back seat to his patients in Gregory Peck’s portrayal as the conflicted Air Force psychiatrist. Now considered ahead of its time\, the film focuses on the doctor’s plight as he struggles to help men driven over the edge by the horrors of war\, all the while tormented by the thought that curing his patients will inevitably mean sending them back into harm’s way. \nUsing unconventional treatment tactics\, Newman explains to a visiting VIP\, “We’re short of beds\, doctors\, orderlies\, nurses\, everything … except patients.” Therefore\, the doctor uses equally creative methods to recruit much needed personnel\, including a new and very reluctant orderly Corporal Jackson Leibowitz\, a wheeler- dealer from New Jersey (Tony Curtis). \nNewman also takes great pains to court nurse Lieutenant Francie Corum (Angie Dickinson) on what she thinks is a date… until he asks her to transfer to Ward 7. After watching Newman’s handling of an emergency situation and other patients on the ward\, Corum transfers in. \nPeck was looking for a follow-up to his Oscar® winning performance as small- town lawyer Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) when he chose to star as Capt. Josiah Newman. The role bore more than a passing resemblance to his tortured general in Twelve O’Clock High (1949)\, which had brought him the New York Film Critics’ Award for Best Actor. But though the part may have looked good on paper\, playing the eye of the film’s psychiatric storm inevitably meant giving up the focus to the doctor’s patients\, in particular three tortured souls played\, respectively\, by Eddie Albert\, Bobby Darin and a very young Robert Duvall.

This spectacular performance is danced by the magnificent team of Baryshnikov\, one of the greatest classical dancers of the century\, and Gelsey Kirkland\, both showcased at the peak of their careers\, with members of the American Ballet Theatre. The Nutcracker is the magical and lighthearted story of a small girl’s dream on Christmas Eve. Baryshnikov is the toy Nutcracker-turned-Prince in this exhilarating production that marked his initial and universally acclaimed choreographic effort. Gelsey Kirkland is little Clara\, the dreamer\, and Alexander Minz is Drosselmeyer\, the wizard who conjures up the dream and eventually dispels it. Extravagant sets and costumes bring the beauty of this winter wonderland to life. The magical aspects will delight children\, while the spectacular sets and performances will enchant and delight the child in all of us. Celebrated by critics and public alike\, Baryshikov’s The Nutcracker delivers a brilliant and sparkling adaptation of the famous E.T.A. Hoffmann tale along with Tchaikovsky’s classic score – and showcases the athleticism and precision of Baryshnikov’s solo variations. The Nutcracker\, a holiday perennial on network and public television\, is a truly remarkable treasure that will be enjoyed by all for generations to come.\nText courtesy of Kultur.

The young socialite is about to embark on a second marriage and the lucky groom is George Kittredge (John Howard)\, a comparatively staid but extremely wealthy gentleman. Her first husband was C.K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant) who is certainly more colorful than Kittredge if slightly less responsible. When Dexter makes an unexpected appearance at the Lord’s home on the eve of Tracy’s wedding\, it is not so much to wish her well as to shield her from the prying eyes of an overly ambitious reporter (James Stewart) assigned to cover the nuptials. \nThe Philadelphia Story was based on a screenplay by Phillip Barry who wrote the play specifically for Katharine Hepburn. The actress was so impressed with the script she agreed to finance part of the stage production herself and did not draw a salary. She did receive a portion of the profits which were significant due to the play’s huge success on Broadway. This came at a critical point in Hepburn’s career which had faltered during the previous few years. In 1938\, she was labeled “box office poison” by the Independent Theatre Owners of America after several commercial failures. \nRealizing the potential of The Philadelphia Story\, Hepburn purchased the motion picture rights to the property and approached Louis B. Mayer\, head of MGM\, with a deal. She agreed to sell Mayer the rights to the property for the very modest amount of $250\,000\, in exchange for the authority to select her own director\, screenwriter and cast. Securing control over the production\, Hepburn chose George Cukor to direct. The two had worked together in Hepburn’s first film role\, A Bill of Divorcement (1932) and then again in the 1933 version of Little Women.Hepburn chose Donald Ogden Stewart to write. He was a friend of Philip Barry’s and was a master at preserving an original play’s integrity when adapting it to the screen. \nHepburn approached Cary Grant for the role of Tracy’s former husband and Grant accepted on two conditions. First\, that he receive top billing and second\, that he be paid $137\,000 which was considered an extremely generous salary at the time. Interestingly\, upon receiving his salary\, Grant donated the entire amount to the British War Relief Fund. \nHepburn had become interested in Jimmy Stewart for the part of the newshound ever since the actor had received accolades and an Oscar® nomination for his portrayal of an idealistic senator in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington the previous year. \nWhen the film was released\, it broke the previous box office record held at Radio City Music Hall where it earned $600\,000 in six weeks. It also proved that Katharine Hepburn knew how to deliver a hit when given the opportunity and was just the opposite of box office poison. The Philadelphia Story also did well at the Academy Awards® that year. The film earned 6 nominations including Best Picture\, Best Director\, Best Screenplay\, Best Actor\, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. \nJimmy Stewart scored a Best Actor Oscar to the surprise of many including the actor himself who stated that he had voted for Henry Fonda in The Grapes of Wrath. Many thought the Academy was trying to make amends for not awarding Stewart the Oscar® for his role in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington the prior year. by Mary Anne Melear for TCM URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/the-philadelphia-story/ LOCATION:S.
