Film Classroom: The Modern 1930s – Love Me Tonight
Details
In the 2012 edition of the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria International Film Festival, the cycle "The Moderns" was programmed. It was an approach to avant-garde cinematographic art prior to the introduction of sound, conceived by our colleague Francisco Ponce. We now propose to complete that milestone with nine films made between 1929 and 1934, selected by Luis Miranda, the director of the festival. LOVE ME TONIGHT United States, 1932, 96´ DIRECTOR: Rouben Mamoulian SCREENPLAY: Samuel Hoffenstein, Waldemar Young, George Marion Jr. PRODUCTION: Rouben Mamoulian CINEMATOGRAPHY: Victor Milner (B&W) EDITING: Rouben Mamoulian, William Shea MUSIC: Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart CAST: Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Charles Ruggles, Charles Butterworth, Myrna Loy, C. Aubrey Smith. SYNOPSIS: A charming and romantic musical that set the tone for many that followed.
