September 18, 2010 The Cameraman Cornell Cinema 4 pm • $7 adults/$5 kids 12 and under |
Mont Alto will be doing a short tour of upstate New York, performing two of our favorite scores to favorite films. In The Cameraman, Buster Keaton becomes a newsreel cameraman to be near the girl of his dreams (Marceline Day). This film combines the usual brilliant comedy routines from Keaton with a more heartfelt romantic story from MGM and miss Day. Shown from a 35mm print from George Eastman House. |
September 18, 2010 Sunrise Cornell Cinema 7:30 pm • $Free |
This is one of the most beautiful and moving films ever made. F.W. Murnau came to Hollywood with a blank check to make whatever film he wanted. The result is a beautiful fable involving a man and woman trying to save their damaged marriage on a fantastic trip to the city. The combination of German expressionist direction from Murnau, and emotionally true acting from George O'Brien and Janet Gaynor contributed to an Academy Award for Gaynor. The film also won Oscars for Best Cinematography, and the first and only Acadamy Award for Most Artistic Production. Free screening made possible by the Atkinson Forum in American Studies. Passes available from the Willard Straight Ticket Desk starting Monday, September 13. New 35mm print! |

In The Cameraman, Buster Keaton becomes a newsreel cameraman to be near the girl of his dreams (Marceline Day).

Paths to Paradise is a rarely seen but very funny movie starring Raymond Griffith and Betty Compson as rival con artists and burglars, attempting to steal the same diamond necklace during a party at a San Francisco mansion. This will be the premiere of a new Mont Alto score, on Friday night. In The Cameraman, Buster Keaton becomes a newsreel cameraman to be near the girl of his dreams (Marceline Day). This film combines the usual brilliant comedy routines from Keaton with a more heartfelt romantic story from MGM and Day. We'll be playing this on Saturday evening. Also during the weekend there will be multiple other films, including Harry Langdon's The Strong Man, and short films from Charley Chase accompanied by solo piano. |
November 3, 2010 The Last of the Mohicans University of Arkansas 8 pm • $Free |
This 1920 version of the James Fenimore Cooper classic has a very poetic feel, bringing an uncommon depth to the bloody and tragic story. Beautiful cinematography (with the high Sierras standing in for the Adirondacks) as well as impressive action set pieces make this a very memorable film experience. |
