In 1989, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Matthew Broderick, Cary Elwes, and Andre Braugher starred in the film "Glory," directed by Edward Zwick. It was the story of the American Civil War's 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, which was one of the earliest Black regiments in the Union Army. It was based on the 1965 novel "One Gallant Rush" by Peter Burchard, the 1973 novel "Lay This Laurel" by Lincoln Kirstein, and the personal letters of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, the leader of the 54th.
In the film, Shaw gives the Black soldiers the option to walk away after they learn that the Confederacy responded to the Emancipation Proclamation by ordering all captured Black men to be returned to slavery. No one left. The regiment made a heroic stand at the Second Battle of Fort Wagner, and not everyone made it out alive. Broderick played Shaw, Washington played Private Silas Trip, Morgan Freeman was Sergeant Major John Rawlins,...

Since any New York City cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it’d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city’s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you’re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we’re of the mind that it’s time extremely well-spent.

Since Sony Pictures has come on board to co-finance the production of George Clooney‘s next writing/directorial effort Monuments Men with Fox, it appears the WWII heist drama is gaining traction.
Earlier this month we learned Cate Blanchett is attached as the female lead, and Bill Murray is said to be attached as well, with Paul Giamatti and Jean Dujardin on Cloooney’s rather ambitious wishlist.
He reportedly plans to co-star and produce the film, which is based on the World War II novel by Robert Edsel, although no official details have been provided on what characters anyone will play.
Earlier reports (not confirmed) suggested that Blanchett would play Rose Valland, an art historian and member of the French Resistance, while Giamatti would play the co-founder of the New York City ballet, Lincoln Kirstein; Clooney is reportedly playing George Stout, a U.S. Army officer and leading art conservationist, who...

Fox has teamed up with Sony Pictures to develop George Clooney's next film project Monuments Men. It was also revealed that Bill Murray has joined the cast of the film, which also stars Cate Blanchett.
Clooney is set to direct, star, and produce the film, which is based on the World War II novel by Robert Edsel. The story follows the art historians who landed at Normandy to rescue art looted by Adolf Hitler. In a previous interview the actor had this to say in a statement,
It’s an amazing story, and Grant and I are already thinking about how great the casting can be, and there’s also a great love story. Hitler was an art fanatic, and he stashed masterpieces everywhere. He hid 27 Rembrants in a coffin.

Wheeler’s important younger lover of the fifties was an artist and poet named Ralph Pomeroy. Although Pomeroy was outside Malouf’s circle, he had a powerful impression of Miksche, who snubbed him. “I was mad for him,” he said. “He was one of the most stunning sexual people I’ve ever met.” Miksche was a star among the volunteers filmed at the Institute, as were a couple named Jack Fontaine and Raymond Ungar.Bill Miller, the handsome model, sometimes joined the group.
