My

was a reference to Marceau's passing and to Domino's misspelling of his name.

it was a typo, I know it's spelled Marsell

Poor Domino can't seem to please anybody around here lately....

Minoru Inuzuka died on September 17 at the age of 106. Apart from working on the screenplay of Kinugasa's A Page of Madness, he wrote screenplays for several of the Zatoichi series. He also directed a few silent and sound films starring Tsumasaburo Bando. He was possibly the last person alive to have directed a silent feature film.

Somewhat mind-blowing. You're probably right: De Oliveira started directing in the silent era, but was working in short documentaries at the time.

A sad one for fans of the original Night of the Living Dead - Kyra Schon has posted on her blog about her father Karl Hardman passing away.

Rudolf Arnheim, author of the seminal The Film as Art (1932) - he actually died in early June, but the Independent only ran an obit today.

Be honest - how many of you thought he'd died several decades ago? (He was nearly 103!)

Not nearly as bizarre as this: Eisenstein is still alive.

And Jacques Feyder!

I'm so happy I finally got Rick rolled, and how much more hilarious that it happened in this most solemn of threads.

When I was in grad school, we always talked about driving up to Michigan to visit Arnheim in his nursing home. Someone in a later class actually did it.

Just seen on sky news that Deborah Kerr has died. No details yet.

Very sad.

Think I'll watch Blimp again this weekend in memory.

It must be true: Wikipedia already has it in her bio (she apparently died yesterday).

Such an on-the-money personality, Kerr was, even at such a young age. So true, watching BLIMP, listening to Powell remark on the commentary track about how astounding she was in always making the right choice, choices regarding the vastly different roles, taken so excellently by a young girl hardly out of adolescence.

I always felt the casting of Kim Hunter in LIFE & DEATH/STAIRWAY was based a bit on his longing for Kerr after their failed engagement; the two, while not dead ringers, were very similar in physical type as well as emotional presence. Soft, acutely feminine, but with a whipsmart sternness firing out from a huge intelligence underneath.

If the woman never did another part save for BLIMP she'd be immortal. Add the beautiful performance in INNOCENTS and that's all she wrote. Look at the rest of her resume and bend the knee. A sublime actress... they don't manufacture her stripe often.

Cheers to her memory.

Kerr, Bishop...who's next?

It was supposed to be Norman Mailer but then he hit the Grim Reaper with a hammer
