斯坦利·多南

斯坦利·多南

斯坦利·多南(英語:Stanley Donen,1924年4月13日—2019年2月21日)是一位美国电影导演、制片人和舞蹈指导,最知名的作品是1952年的《雨中曲》和1949年的《锦城春色》,两者都是由金·凯利主演的歌舞片。他其它比较知名的作品还包括:《七对佳偶》、《谜中谜》、《王室的婚礼》、《钓金龟》、《甜姐儿》、《失魂记》和《丽人行》。电影艺术与科学学院曾于1998年授予他荣誉奖,2004年威尼斯电影节也授予他职业金狮奖。他还被专业影评人大卫·昆兰誉为“好莱坞音乐剧之王”。多南一共结过5次婚并有3个孩子,1999年至今他的女友是电影导演和喜剧演员伊莲·梅。

斯坦利·多南的事业开始于百老汇,他在导演乔治·艾博特手下的舞蹈组中工作,并且也在这里与金·凯利成为朋友。1943年他前往好莱坞开始从事编舞工作,并于1949年和凯利合作拍摄了《锦城春色》,然后他成为米高梅公司制片人阿瑟·弗里德手下的签约导演并拍出了多部获得好评的电影。1952年他与凯利一起执导了歌舞片《雨中曲》,这是两人职业生涯中最富盛名的作品,也被认为是电影史上最经典的歌舞片。烂蕃茄上收集到的47篇专业评论文章显示影评人对其好评度竟达100%,同时也在美国影艺协会于1998年评选的AFI百年电影史百大经典电影中名列第10位,并在十年后再次进行的评选中名列第5位,也是其评选的AFI十大类型十大佳片中排名最高的歌舞片。不过,多南与凯利的关系在1955年两人的最后一次合作《好天气》拍摄过程中恶化,他也在1957解除了与米高梅公司的合同并成为一位独立制片人。在歌舞片开始失去观众时,多南将事业的重心转向了喜剧。他直到1960年代末期的电影都很成功,之后才逐渐开始失去观众。1990年代和2002年,他曾短暂以导演身份回归舞台。

多南将好莱坞歌舞片从后台音乐剧这种歌舞部分与电影相对独立的艺术形态转变为更加一体化的形式。在他的指导和影响下,歌舞部分成为剧情的组成部分而加以发展。而在多南和凯利以前,好莱坞的歌舞片经常设置有一个百老汇式的舞台背景,歌舞表演更像是舞台剧的一部分。但多南和凯利则将之制作为更加符合电影特点的形式,其中有一些舞蹈是只有在电影中才能成功表现出来的。多南谦虚地表示他所做的只是“恩斯特·刘别谦和雷内·克莱尔执导阿斯泰尔与罗杰斯主演音乐剧的延续,‘我们’并没有让其更真实,而是更不真实了。”电影评论家简-皮埃尔·科尔索登(Jean-Pierre Coursodon)曾说多南对好莱坞的歌舞片作出了“胜过包括文森特·明尼利在内任何人的”革命性贡献。他也是最后一位離世的好莱坞黄金时代电影导演。

Elaine May

Elaine Iva May (née Berlin; born April 21, 1932) is an American actress, comedian, writer, and director. She first gained fame in the 1950s for her improvisational comedy routines with Mike Nichols before transitioning her career, regularly breaking the mold as a writer and director of several critically acclaimed films. She has received numerous awards, including a BAFTA Award, a Grammy Award, and a Tony Award. She was honored with the National Medal of Arts from President Barack Obama in 2013, and an Honorary Academy Award in 2022.

In 1955, May moved to Chicago and became a founding member of the Compass Players, an improvisational theater group. She began working alongside Nichols and in 1957, they both quit the group to form their own stage act, Nichols and May. In New York, they performed nightly in clubs in Greenwich Village alongside Joan Rivers and Woody Allen, as well as on the Broadway stage. They also made regular appearances on television and radio broadcasts. They released multiple comedy albums and received four Grammy Award nominations, winning Best Comedy Album for An Evening with Mike Nichols and Elaine May in 1962. Their collaboration was covered in the PBS documentary Nichols and May: Take Two (1996).

May infrequently acted in films, including Luv, Enter Laughing (both 1967), California Suite (1978), and Small Time Crooks (2000). She became the first female director with a Hollywood deal since Ida Lupino when she directed the 1971 black screwball comedy A New Leaf. Experimenting with genres, she directed the dark romantic comedy The Heartbreak Kid (1972), the gangster film Mikey and Nicky (1976), and adventure comedy Ishtar (1987). May later earned acclaim writing the screenplays for Warren Beatty's Heaven Can Wait (1978), and Mike Nichols' The Birdcage (1996) and Primary Colors (1998). Heaven Can Wait and Primary Colors each earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, while the latter won her the BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

May returned to acting in Woody Allen's Amazon Prime series Crisis in Six Scenes (2016) and on Broadway in the revival of the Kenneth Lonergan play The Waverly Gallery (2018) the latter of which earned her the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play. The win made May the second-oldest performer behind Lois Smith to win a Tony Award for acting. In 2022, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences gave May an Honorary Academy Award for her "bold, uncompromising approach to filmmaking, as a writer, director, and actress".
