I’ve Got a Wife

Date produced: 1960

Filmmaker(s):

Murray Cowel

Description:

"A shorty, filmed and cut to the fast tempo of the recording I've Got a Wife. The pace of the film is so fast that we, too, can be out of breath in four minutes. A delightful novelty and well done, with a squeeze at the end" PSA Journal, Nov. 1960, 40

Ice Follies 1947

Date produced: 1947

Filmmaker(s):

Oscar H. Horovitz

Description:

"Filming indoor spectacles is difficult, but it is made doubly so when the staging, actors and lighting facilities are in a constant state of flux. Yet Oscar H. Horovitz, in his Ice Follies 1947, has solved these problems with technical perfection. Points of filming vantage are carefully chosen, from which sequences of the major acts and personalities are imaginatively recorded. An intelligent use of varying focal length lenses contributes the near shots and closeups so necessary to a well rounded study of this kind. Mr. Horovitz more than maintains his position as one of the master craftsmen in his chosen field." Movie Makers, Dec. 1947, 538.

Identity
