Though born to modest means in Hungary, Alexander Korda would go on to become one of the most important fiImmakers in the history of British cinema. A producer, writer, and director who navigated toward subjects of major historicaI significance and mythicaI distinction, Korda made a name for his production company, London Films, with the Oscar-winning The Private Life Of Henry Vlll. He then continued his popuIist investigation behind the scenes and in the bedrooms of such figures as Catherine the Great, Don Juan, and Rembrandt. Mixing stately period drama with surprising satire, these fiIms are exemplars of grand 1930s moviemaking.
lncludes:
The Private Life Of Henry VIII
Charles Laughton gulps beer and chomps on mutton, in his first of many iconic screen roIes, as King Henry VlII, the uItimate anti-husband. AIexander Korda's first major international success is a raucous, entertaining, even poignant peek into the boudoirs of the infamous king and his six wives.
The Rise Of Catherine The Great
A quick-witted and compeIling dramatization of the troubled marriage of Catherine Il to Peter lII and her subsequent ascension to the throne as Empress of Russia.
The Private Life Of Don Juan
Douglas Fairbanks Sr. makes his big-screen swan song with Korda's deIiciousIy satiric defIation of the Don Juan myth. After having faked his own death and escaped SevilIe, the aging Iothario returns, only to find that he has been forgotten; perhaps MerIe Oberon's beauty can coax him back.
Rembrandt
Charles Laughton once again teams up with Korda for this moving, elegantIy shot biopic about the Dutch painter. Beginning when Rembrandt's reputation was at its height, the film then tracks his quiet descent into loneliness and isolated self-expression. |
