GOD, what an opening theme! David Raksin belongs in the company of Franz Waxman, Bernard Hermann, and Elmer Bernstein, as one of the greatest film composers ever.
Good eye. Was waiting for her to say to Lana Turner what she said to Mineo...."Why you want to mix up with bad boys like that? Why do you want to get into trouble all the time? What you doing with that (gun)? You put that down! Put it down before you hurt yourself! "
Esta es la película que veré toda mi vida en cualquier momento me ha encantado en gran manera, desde la majestuosa música hasta la gran gama de actores que brillaron intensamente en cada actuación.
The inscription on that tarted-up coat of arms of Jonathan Shields' reads "NON SANS DROIT", which is probably meant to mean "Not without right", which would fit his larger-than-life persona perfectly. However, it could also mean "Not without law", which could reflect Jonathan's view that his bottomless ego is a law unto itself, which overrides all other considerations.
I LOVE "The Bad and the Beautiful", to the point that, when my Ebenezer Scrooge-like cable provider took TCM away from me, I went out and bought a Kirk Douglas movie package on DVD that included it. However, the makers of this wonderful film unquestionably played a running joke on their audience. If Hollywood notables really DID refuse to work with one another because of the sort of backstabbing that Jonathan visits upon the principals in this film, no movie in Hollywood history, from "The Great Train Robbery" (1903) on, would ever have gotten made. The only ethic to follow in Hollywood is the one articulated by the screenwriter Garson Kanin: "If you have any interest at all in justice, for God's sake stay away from Hollywood. There's more justice at any meat market in town."
