SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES 003 - GLEN CAMPBELL: I'LL BE ME (2014)

 

Today's movie is a tough movie. In 2011, the legendary guitarist and singer was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease just as he was releasing his 61st album, the presciently named "Ghost On The Canvas." Although Campbell, had already begun experiencing cognitive loss and disorientation, his musical chops and muscle memory were still remarkably vivid. Along with his wife, Kim, and their three children, Campbell decided to tour for the record, an amazing 150-show run that ended in 2012 when he was no longer able to perform. 

Filmaker James Keach went along for the ride, including the appointment at the Mayo Clinic when Kim and Glen Campbell first received the diagnosis. With sometimes startling candor, Keach chronicles not just the heartening example Campbell presents of fending off the worst predations of Alzheimer's by staying active and doing what he loves, but the "bad days," when he lashes out with anger and paranoia. 

In between soaring performances of such classics as "Wichita Lineman," "Gentle On My Mind" and "Rhinestone Cowboy" at the 2012 Grammy Awards (where Campbell received a lifetime achievement award), "I'll Be Me" includes dozens of testimonials from the singer's colleagues. 

As difficult as it is to witness Campbell's struggles, especially when he forgets the names of his wife and children, "I'll Be Me" is an elevating experience, inviting the audience to bear witness to Campbell's courage, humor and spiritual strength. His story may make for a tough movie, but it's an important and triumphant one, as well. 

But before we get to the main feature, let's enjoy... 

The Pre-Show: 

        

First up, let's warm-up with a cartoon. Betty Boop invites her friend Sally, not just any normal Sally, but Sally Swing, who will surely make us all dance to the magic rhythms of swing. For your pleasure, Shade's offers you not only the original black and white print but a colourized version. 

The cartoon is followed by a short documentary of what it was like to live life in the 50s. Nostalgia time! So many things lost, that were simpler and made life easier. And on top of all, we had no complaints. 

Last week our "Saturday Night At The Movies" was dedicated to the figure of Robert Johnson, and to some extent: The Devil. Well, for all you guys and gals out there I invite you to witness "Sympathy For The Devil". Lately, we've had the Beatles and their "Get Back" movie all over the place. And people are (still) talking wonders of how we (as viewers) were part of The Beatles exercise of composing some of their songs. Well, now we have the opportunity to assist as a "fly on the wall" experience, the making of a magnificent song: "Sympathy For The Devil". The video rounds off with the live performance (R&R Circus) of said song plus a little surprise with Mick Jagger at the end.

SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES 002 - CROSSROADS (1986)

  

Crossroads: The coming-of-age musical drama starring Ralph Macchio, Joe Seneca, and Jami Gertz, became instantly popular among members of the blues community, due to its semi-fictional Robert Johnson story line connection, and tons of killer music performed by artists including Arlen Roth, Ry Cooder, Steve Vai and Sonny Terry. 

In case you are wondering if Ralph Macchio actually played the guitar in the movie - the short answer is "yes", in some parts. Director Walter Hill had hired guitarist Arlen Roth as a musical consultant and to teach Macchio to play, sort of. Roth visited Macchio's home, four days a week for months teaching the young actor blues techniques, including finger-picking and slide. Although Ralph was set on actually playing in the film, Roth, Cooder and Hill knew that would be impossible, but Roth tutored Macchio well enough for him to fake the parts on screen. 

After 36 years, Crossroads has stood the test of time. The Robert Johnson story, the legends of Willie Brown and Lightnin' Boy and the incredible soundtrack make this a film that will surely be watched over and over again.

But before we get to the main feature let's enjoy... 

The Pre-Show: 

  

First up, Summer Holiday! But this time, only the songs with Cliff Richard and The Shadows. It's an invitation to enjoy one of the top 60s groups in their prime time!! Glorious colour, exciting dances and great songs all merged into one single file!! Ain't that great!! 

Then, we'll have the opportunity to explore three interesting visual and audio documents all related to our main figure: Robert Johnson. The first one in question: "Monkey Business" is true in its conclusion and the second part portrays the devil at the crossroads as a woman for the first time!! Our second document is an interesting look through one of the many youtubers out there, where he theorises the exact location of The Crossroads (maybe he's right - your decision). It is followed by a great worldwide interpretation of a Robert Johnson classic: "Walking Blues". To end our first part of the evening, before heading straight into the main feature, we'll enjoy a great documentary concerning Robert Johnson: Devil At The Crossroads (2019).

SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES 001 - SUMMER HOLIDAY (1963)

  

Summer Holiday was the film that Cliff Richard didn't really want to make. Though looking back, I bet he's glad he took the plunge. For it not only bequeathed a feelgood anthem for holidaymakers, it helped Cliff cast off his tight-trousered R&R image and become a mainstream star ala Elvis. 

Cliff played a bus mechanic called Don who borrows a double-decker from London Transport, converts it into a travelling hotel and drives it to Greece - stopping only for lavish song and dance routines. 

Far from feeling flattered to be offered a big British musical movie, Cliff - barely 22 at the time - worried he might be taking a reckless gamble. In his previous films he was never the star. He had been put alongside established actors who were box office attractions in their own right. Now, with Summer Holiday he was to take sole responsibility. 

The songs in the film had been written to cash in on two early-Sixties phenomena: Cliff's success as the UK's #1 pop star and the burgeoning demand for cheap foreign travel. And because Summer Holiday was planned to widen Cliff's appeal to U.S. audiences, where he had only limited success, they would hire an American actress, to play his love interest: Lauri Peters (who was cast on the strength of her Broadway performance in The Sound Of Music). 

Summer Holiday was the second most successful film at the British box office in 1963, after The Guns Of Navarone and a movie industry survey showed him to be more popular than Elvis Presley, Sean Connery and Peter Sellers. 

But before we get to the main feature let's enjoy... 

The Pre-Show: 

   

First up, a couple of cartoons with Betty Boop plus the added attraction of Cab Calloway's singing! 

I'm sure you'll agree with me that cartoons, back in the day were "works of art" (just check the background - spooky indeed!!). Watch out for the end there's a wonderful comparison with the drawings and Mr Calloway himself!! 

Now, we're in for a treat!! The chance to enjoy the song "America" in the 1961 and 2021 versions. And a bonus attraction at the end of both videos. 

Next up, is an episode of The Nelsons, in the Ozzie And Harriet TV Show. No singing, but a great opportunity to watch Ricky Nelson practising Karate, practising the forms and breaking boards (still a long way before Bruce Lee would state: "Boards don't hit back!"). 

Last but not least, a little advertising from back in the day (the fifties) where sellers were proud to sell products that would last a lifetime (a far away cry from today's "use and dispose of" philosophy).

COMING SOON! SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES!

  

The Drifters in 1964 had a single out for Atlantic Records, titled: "Saturday Night At The Movies". In it they state: 

"Well, Saturday night at eight o'clock 

I know where I'm gonna go 

I'm a-gonna pick my baby up 

And take her to the picture show 

Well, here at Shade's Vintage Radio, we don't care much about who you're gonna bring along to enjoy a Saturday Night At The Movies, what we do care about is to try and bring you the best entertainment through the lens of a camera. Each Saturday, be it at eight (or thereabouts) we'll have a main feature: A film, a documentary or even a live show (where music is the main ingredient), but before that we'll enjoy the pre-show, which will include many surprises (as in the old days, where cinema was a place to enjoy and have fun without nowadays rush to clear the room!!). I hope you'll feel the need to accompany us on this "reel" adventure which Shade's Vintage Radio brings to you. We only ask for you to bring the popcorn!!

Bob Dylan in his "Time Passes Slowly" states that... "Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream". How true those words sound.

For that reason, I have decided to share my happiness with y'all by handing some presents out. I hope you feel free to enjoy them and I'd like to take the opportunity to THANK YOU ALL for being there. Let's look forward to the next 365 days!!
