Superman: The Movie Intro & Opening Titles
My generous colleague, Ruth of Flixchatter, kicks off her countdown this week for likely the most anticipated film of the year, Man of Steel. She offered moi a chance to contribute to the endeavor, as well, since we’re both big fans of the progenitor of the modern comic hero film, Superman, The Movie. That’ll come on Thursday. Today is my appreciation for one of my favorites (and all-time best). Its opening title sequence.

Name someone who defined the gangster on film — and way, way before Coppola or Scorsese. Who would also go on to shape the screwball comedy, too. Might as well throw in the dark of film noir into the mix. Plus, take on that other Hollywood staple, the Western, challenging John Ford’s domain. And use John Wayne perhaps even more effectively. The answer would be one Howard Winchester Hawks (by the way, John Carpenter’s favorite director).

Tonight I’ll be a attending a special event at The Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater for just such a one. A 40th year anniversary screening with co-stars John Saxon, Bob Wall, film crew, and the lead’s daughter Shannon in attendance. All for a movie that showcased the skill and talent of someone who meant surprisingly much to me growing up, and who left this mortal coil far too soon.

This is the next entry in a Theatre… a Movie… and a Time, a series that was begun here. Byway of yesterday’s TMT, my blogging colleague, Dan of Fogs Movie Review, made a special request for another disaster film (not to be confused with a disastrous movie) to be a featured in a memory download. I was only too happy to comply.
“For what it’s worth, architect, this is one building I figured would never burn.”
