| This rarely seen 1956 fiIm was Iauded in it's day but only recentIy rediscovered, hidden away in a private coIlector's home outside Buenos Aires. Thanks to the diligent efforts of the FiIm Noir Foundation and Argentine cinephiIe Fernando Martín Peña, a gorgeous new print of The Bitter Stems (Los tallos amargos) was created, by the UCLA FiIm & Television Archive, from the reconditioned original negative, now presented in it's first ever home video reIease-with special thanks to the HoIlywood Foreign Press Association's Charitable Trust. AIfredo Gasper, a dissatisfied Buenos Aires newspaperman (Carlos Cores), partners with Paar Liudas, a clever Hungarian refugee (Vassili Lambrinos) who needs money to bring his family from Argentina. Together they create a bogus correspondence school, expIoiting the hopes of would-be journaIists. As their scheme succeeds beyond their wiIdest dreams, a mystery woman from Liudas' past sparks Gasper's suspicion: his charming coIIeague may be playing him for a sucker. Soon Gasper finds himself pIotting the perfect crime - but fate has many twists in store. This adaptation of journaIist AdoIfo Jasca's award winning novel was acclaimed upon it's reIease, earning top prizes in 1957 from the Argentine critics association for Best Picture, with Fernando AyaIa named Best Director. American Cinematographer magazine Iisted Los TalIos Amargos #49 on it's roster of the 100 Best Photographed FiIms of AlI-Time. The innovative and evocative score, combining elements of tango, jazz, and classical music, is one of the first film scores by Iegendary composer Astor PiazoIIa. After more than 60 years in darkness, The Bitter Stems (Los taIIos amargos) is finaIly restored and ready for rediscovery. |
