American Gun (2002 film)

American Gun is a 2002 drama film written and directed by Alan Jacobs. It stars James Coburn (in his final film), Virginia Madsen, Barbara Bain and Alexandra Holden.
Plot.
Martin Tillman (Coburn), a World War II veteran, is on a cross-country journey to trace the origin of the gun used to kill his daughter Penny (Madsen). On the way he seeks his granddaughter Mia (Holden).
Writer/director Alan Jacobs was inspired by a visit to the Smith & Wesson factory in Massachusetts, where he saw an obituary for a young girl above the workbench where a man was assembling guns. He wondered if the worker had perhaps assembled the gun that killed the girl. "At that moment it clicked," Jacobs said. "I had recently read a book called Lethal Passage by the journalist Erik Larson who tracked down the history of a submachine gun that ended up in the hands of a kid who took it to school one day. That put the idea in my head that a gun could have a history."
Production.
The film was shot over a period of 40 days of principal photography which began in December, 2000 in Rutland, Vermont, followed by Los Angeles, California, Las Vegas, Nevada and Miami, Florida. The film was shot by cinematographer Phil Parmet in 35mm Kodak color, black & white, with additional footage on Sony PD150 mini-DV, and the combination of formats won the Modern Digital Cinematography Award at the Seattle Independent Film Festival in 2002.

Reception.
T.M.P. of "The New York Times" said, "To the wheel of life has been given a full, mad twirl in "I Love a Soldier", which took up residence yesterday at the Paramount. And since life seldom moves along on a plane, maybe it would have been expecting too much for this particular film to maintain a perfect level. But the ups and downs and the fancy curves which the story takes in discussing the problem of war marriages neither makes for an arresting entertainment nor does it help to clarify a question that is of vital importance right now to a good many young people. Apparently both Mark Sandrich, the producer-director, and Allan Scott, the author, weren't quite sure either just how the subject should be treated, for they tackle it, by turns, in dead seriousness and with broad comic strokes."

J. W. Sharp

J. W. "Jack" Sharp (or Sharpe; 1818 – 10 January 1856) was an English singer and comic entertainer.
Little is known of his early life. He worked behind the scenes in London theatres in the 1840s, and in the evenings supplemented his income by entertaining in the Vauxhall Gardens, the Cremorne Gardens in Chelsea, and Evans' Supper Rooms in Covent Garden. He also sold copies of his songs. His repertoire included topical and risqué songs, as well as parodies. The impresario Charles Morton described Sharp as "one of the funniest fellows that ever appeared on any stage."
Many of his songs were written by John Labern, often based on ideas suggested by Sharp. He was chosen to open the new season at Vauxhall Gardens in 1845, and worked closely with Labern for the rest of the decade. However, by 1850 his performances suffered from the effects of alcohol abuse, and, according to Morton, he "drifted into becoming a 'tramp' comic singer, making a collection in this or that tavern bar", though he was still performing in 1855. According to Edmund Yates: "No man in my recollection, as a broadly comic vocalist, has been such a favourite as was J. W. Sharp: at Vauxhall and Cremorne in the summer, at public dinners in the winter, and at Evans's always, he was fully employed. But he fell into bad ways, took to drinking, lost his engagements, and was finally found dead from starvation on a country road."
According to contemporary reports, he died in 1856 in the Dover Union Workhouse at Buckland in Kent, an area in which he was apparently well known.

She is trapped on a lower rung of the economic ladder."

Malmkrog is a 2020 internationally co-produced drama film directed by Cristi Puiu.
Set in turn-of-the-20th-century Transylvania, at the snowy hillside manor of a blithe aristocrat named Nikolai (Frédéric Schulz-Richard), the film follows for nearly the entirety of its 200 minutes a series of winding conversations between a group of bourgeois elite—among them a Russian general's wife (Diana Sakalauskaité), a devout young Christian girl (Marina Palii), a Franco-Russian nobleman (Ugo Broussot), and a middle-aged woman (Agathe Bosch) whose pessimistic worldview seems to embody the essence of Solovyov's book.
The conversations always return to a central topic: whether one should adopt a non-violent approach to the organisation of society (Tolstoy's attitude, which Solovyov abhorred), or approach the duty of fighting war in a fervently committed, Christian spirit.
It was shown in the Encounters section at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival, where it also won the Best Director Award.

Plot.
Carlo Levi is a painter and writer from Turin. He also has a degree in medicine but has never practised it.

While the landscape is beautiful, the peasantry are impoverished and mismanaged. They are superstitious and insular; many have emigrated to the United States in search of employment.
