With discussion Douglas with tons fir K off. Daniel author new Biografie off brooks off Richard
Earlier this month, I posted a review of the Richard Brooksâ film âThe Happy Ending.â Much to my surprise and delight, I had a comment from Douglass K. Daniel, author of the new book âTough as Nails: The Life and Films of Richard Brooks.âThis is Douglassâ third book, following a comprehensive look at the TV series âLou Grantâ and a biography of Harry Reasoner.After a few e-mail exchanges, Douglass agreed to answer a few questions for me regarding Richard Brooks (above). Below is our conversation.CFB: What first interested you in Richard Brooks?DD: When I hit on the idea of a Richard Brooks biography, I revisited his filmography. I knew about âIn Cold Blood,â of course, and âElmer Gantry.â! And I remember seeing âBite the Bulletâ in the theater. What surprised me were his connections to other movies I have liked: âKey Largo,â âBlackboard Jungle,â âDeadline-U.S.A.,â âThe Professionals,â and âLord Jim.â I was also intrigued with the movies Iâd never heard of, such as âCrisisâ and âThe Last Hunt.âWriting a book means living with the subject of it for two or three years. Based on those movies and the little bit Iâd read about Richard Brooks as a person, I thought he would make a compelling subject to explore and to tell about to others. And I was right, I think.From your point of view, what about Brooks and his work do you think attracts people all these years later?CFB: The strong material. He didnât shy away from hard-hitting themes, yet he found a way to present them intelligently and cinematically. The fact that he was able to successfully translate material from another medium to film demonstrates his ability to underst! and the main themes and character traits of material and how t! o preser ve them yet tell a good story at the same time on film.How would you rank Brooks among Hollywood's great writers/directors?DD: To my mind, Richard Brooks is indeed in the top tier of the writer-directors. I think his best work rivals that of contemporaries like Billy Wilder, Joseph L. Mankiewicz and John Huston, filmmakers who were writers first and directors second. Brooks worked alone and thus was not as prolific as many directors and some writer-directors, yet he built a significant body of work while writing scripts and directing movies about subjects he cared about and ideas he wanted to share with audiences.He had some real misfires, to be sure. âWrong Is Rightâ is off-key, and âFever Pitchâ is almost unwatchable. He is an imperfect artist. But arenât they all? There are several movies by those named above that are just lousy. Some have a better âbatting averageâ than others. I think that Brooks operated at a pretty high level.Tell me, how do you assess h! is body of work in relation to that of his peers?CFB: I agree with you. Iâve always admired writer-directors, because in my mind a good movie starts with strong material. The best writers-directors understand this and realized that their directing skills are to enhance the story, not take precedence over it. Brooks definitely falls into this category.What's one thing people will be surprised to know about Brooks?DD: I think people may be surprised at his passion for his work. I know I was.Not all filmmakers are that driven. Iâve never had the impression that John Huston was all that devoted to filmmaking; he enjoyed life in all its glory and, to me, saw filmmaking as a means to an end as well as a way to express himself. (And he made some great movies.) Brooks shared that sense of obsession that appears to have driven Kubrick, if to a lower degree.Brooks loved the movies, loved working, and believed film was just the right medium for expressing himself. And he had tried! other media â" short stories and novels, for example, even a! few pla ys. He put writing and directing above everything else in his life. Work is what he enjoyed, what drove him to begin the day. And, in the end, when his creative life was over, because of age an infirmity, I think he may have found it hard to go on, perhaps even pointless.Iâm curious to know your opinion â" do you think biography is an effective way to look at a directorâs work, or do you prefer the âfilms ofâ approach that bypasses narrative to focus on the movies rather than the moviemaker?CFB: Honestly, I like the mixture of both. Itâs important to learn where a person came from, because that influences his or her work. The âbackstory,â so to speak, is important to me. But then I want to know about the films themselves â" why that material was selected, what challenges were being faced, etc. Often you can see what formed the filmmaker show up in his work and decisions, which enriches the in-depth narratives of the movies themselves.
Which of Brooks' films do you like the most and why?DD: I think his three best movies â" those that offer compelling narratives, good dialogue, strong performances, and an interesting visual style â" are âIn Cold Blood,â âElmer Gantryâ and âThe Professionals.â To me, his efforts in all those areas â" editing, too â" really clicked. (And thatâs also because he had fine collaborators.) These movies form a high point in his career, kind of the top of the bell curve.Three others that are strong entries in the Brooks filmography are âBlackboard Jungle,â âCat on a Hot Tin Roofâ and âSweet Bird of Youth.âI donât know if youâve seen all of his movies, but Iâd be interested to know what you think is a Br! ooks film that could have been great but fell short. Not woefu! lly shor t, but just didnât seem to work as well as it should have.CFB: Honestly, itâs the movie that first brought you to my blog â" âThe Happy Ending.â I didnât think it worked, but I saw numerous great moments, and I think he hit upon a general idea of this disillusioned housewife with some incredible insight at a time leading up to the womenâs movement, plus he was trying to help his wife, Jean Simmons. But he couldnât convey the problem or the symptoms properly. The movie stuck with me -- not for what it did but what it could have done (although Simmons was heartbreakingly terrific). DD: Hereâs my âif onlyâ movie: âLord Jim.â It has so much going for it, not least of all Peter OâToole and a grand cast as well as Freddie Youngâs beautiful cinematography. Itâs Brooksâs shot at delivering a David Lean film. But there is something that doesnât quite connect, that makes this a wannabe epic and not a fully realized one. I enjoy watching it, but I alw! ays feel a little empty at the end.CFB: If you could meet Brooks, what would you ask him about first?DD: The biographer in me would want to ask him about his parents; I suspect their influence is something I canât really appreciate without his help. Iâd also ask about his wives; he was married at least four times, but I know nothing about Wife No. 1, and little about Wife No. 3.But, to the point of film rather than personal history, I think Iâd ask Brooks whether, looking back, he wished heâd spent less time developing scripts and more time directing good scripts by other writers. He could have done at least a half-dozen more films than he did after âIn Cold Bloodâ had he not insisted on writing everything himself. Iâd say the same thing about Kubrick and the way he worked so methodically â" donât take 10 years to do a movie, Stanley, we want to see your genius more often.I know, I know -- thatâs what makes their movies their movies. But, still ⦠Iâm ! a selfish movie-lover in this respect: I want more â" like ga! ngster J ohnny Rocco says in âKey Largoâ: âThat's it! More. That's right, I want more!âAnd, like Johnny Rocco, I guess Iâll never get enough.=======================================Iâd like to thank Douglass for initially stopping by my blog and then in joining me for this conversation. Brooks has been on my mind this week in regards to the passing of Elizabeth Taylor, who was superb in the equally superb âCat on a Hot Tin Roof.â Feel free to check out âTough as Nailsâ on Amazon. If any of you have a question for Douglass, feel free to leave it in the comments. Iâm sure heâd be happy to respond! Great classic films, best all time movies
