Thanks for the identification of Claudia Cardinale in the masthead. I've always wondered about the guy on the left. Who is it? I sometimes think it looks like Sean Connery, but I can only think of one Western he was in. Any help appreciated!
Martin
Retro responds: Right you are, Martin- it's Connery in the title role of the 1968 Western Shalako. Thanks for asking- it's gives us an excuse to reproduce the movie's cool original U.S. one sheet. For an interview with producer Euan Lloyd about the trials and tribulations of bringing this Louis L'Amour story to the screen, see Cinema Retro issue #2. Before anyone asks, the actor to the left of Clint Eastwood is Robert Vaughn in the Man From U.N.C.L.E. feature film The Spy With My Face.

All similarities to the contrary, this is Not Steve McQueen...Love your website, although I have one question regarding your banner. Who is the guy pointing the gun (the guy between Raquel Welch and Christopher Lee)? I used to think it was Dr. Cornelius from Planet of the Apes... Is it McQueen? If it is McQueen it's a very unflattering picture... It's driving me crazy.
Other than that, your website is great. RomuloRetro responds: First, thank you for your kind words and for being a loyal reader. In fact, the image of the guy pointing the gun in our masthead graphic is indeed Steve McQueen, as depicted on a European release poster for Bullitt. Now, Romulo, we will admit it might not be the most life-like portrait of the iconic star...and we can understand confusing the image with that of another actor--but frickin' Cornelius from Planet of the Apes? »

Italian model and film actor, she left the cinema and joined the jet set
Rosanna Schiaffino, who has died aged 69, was one of those Italian beauty queens who began a promising acting career in the post-neorealist cinema of the 1950s. She gave up the cinema in the 1970s and married the handsome playboy and steel industry heir Giorgio Falck. Their marriage and, a decade later, their break-up and divorce, had overtones of melodrama more piquant than the content of any of the 45 films in which Schiaffino had starred.
She was born in Genoa, in north Italy, into a well-off family and, although her father wanted her to pursue studies as a surveyor, her mother encouraged her showbusiness ambitions, helping her to study privately at a drama school and then to take part in beauty contests, which she usually won. These led to modelling jobs, with photographs in important magazines, including Life. »

Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, and Marion Cotillard grace the cover of Vogue's November issue in various shades of red to promote their highly anticipated Nine movie. We saw them at the Annie Leibovitz shoot back in February, and the final product looks beautiful. Inside the magazine all of the film's actresses, including Sophia Loren, Judi Dench, and Fergie, posed together. The article gives us a glimpse at how fun filming was for the girls, and Kate even described the experience as "Summer camp." Here are some highlights: Penelope on her tortured character in the film: "Luckily I don't have to identify with my roles, because if I did I would be dead by now! I've been working since the age of seventeen, and I really haven't stopped. I want to balance it a little more. Instead of making three or four movies a year, I will do one. »

Although we rave about the effortless chic of modern films such as 500 Days of Summer it’s often the period dramas that have the most impressive costumes. Italian designer Umberto Tirelli began creating film clothing and accessories in 1964 and although he died in 1990, his atelier has continued his work to this day. When he began making film and theatre attire he started out with “two sewing machines, five seamstresses, a milliner, a secretary and a driver-storeman.” He’s come a long way since then as his work is currently being shown in an Italian exhibition named “The Oscars’ Atelier: Costumes from the Tirelli Workshop for the Big Screen”.
During the 1960s many Italian directors believed that period costumes needed to look more authentic and recruited Tirelli to create their wardrobes. Making the outfits rigid and uncomfortable might have been bad for the cast but the directors wanted to capture the reality of wearing these clothes, »

Some of us dread dying in a car crash and being caught with dirty underwear, or a diary full of embarrassing entires. But the famed authors among us should worry about dying with unfinished manuscripts, because apparently, they may get turned into movies some day-- whether you wanted them published or not. Albert Camus, the Nobel prize-winning author of novels like The Stranger, died in a car crash in 1960, and left the manuscript The First Man in a briefcase. Now The First Man will become a movie, according to Variety, written and directed by Italian director Gianni Amelio. Amelio's previous film The Way We Laughed won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1998; The First Man will be his French-language debut. Starring in the film will be French actors Jacques Gamblin, Denis Podalydes, and Claudia Cardinale. The story follows a man, widely considered to be Camus' alter-ego, who »

I always love the mid February edition of the NY Times Magazine. It tends to capture several Oscar nominees but spreads its net wider, too. One could say it's like a miniature version of Vanity Fair's traditional "Hollywood Issue". It then celebrates the handpicked field of glitterati with portraiture sessions. This year's man behind the lens is the award winning Italian photographer Paolo Pellegrin.
His subjects are almost entirely Oscary this year (shame. I liked the variety) with Kate Winslet as covergirl. Who else? She's in hair rollers for the cover but this photo above is my favorite still from her shoot. I love how bright-morning over lit she is and, it's so... red. The write up by author Tom Perotta (Little Children) is surprisingly interesting too in that, while very flattering, it's not entirely a puff piece. He expresses brief concerns about some career decisions and the way Winslet »
