The Sweet Taste of 'Chocolate' : Director Alfonso Arau's Fanciful Film Has the Recipe for a Hit Alfonso Arau has acted in American movies ranging from "The Wild Bunch" to the more recent "Three Amigos" and "Romancing the Stone." Always, he finds to his disappointment, he gets offered the same type of role. "I can play only bandidos, " he said ruefully during a recent interview in Los Angeles. "If you want to be a star, you have to play the good guys." But Arau is not exactly sitting in his office in Mexico City waiting for Hollywood to turn him into the next Kevin Costner. A producer and director as well as an actor, he took on his biggest project ever when he made the film version of one of Mexico's best-selling novels, the 1990 "Como Agua Para Chocolate" ("Like Water for Chocolate"). The prospect of directing the film was daunting, even to a man who exudes self-confidence . "It was a big challenge for me because I considered the book so feminine that I was afraid I would not be sensitive enough to get this onto the screen," Arau said. "Why is Tita in love with this guy?

How we made: Alison Prince and Brian Cant on Trumpton | Television & radio Alison Prince, scriptwriter I'd written a children's series called Joe, so I was already kicking around the BBC. At some point, Monica Sims, head of children's broadcasting, said: "Oh, you wouldn't like to write some stories for a puppet series, would you?" She was a very offhand woman; she'd been a naval officer. I didn't have a TV, but I had three kids to feed, so I said yes. Another problem was that the puppets all looked exactly the same. At that time, I was living in a rented flat. It's all Trumpton's part of what is now considered the golden age of children's TV, but at the time we didn't think of it like that. Brian Cant, narrator We used to record Trumpton in the bedroom of the show's composer, Freddie Phillips. Trumpton was the second of three series we did about Trumptonshire. It's very nice that it's been remastered – but where's my repeat fee? • This article was amended on 22 February 2012 to correct a quote from Alison Prince.
FILTA - Film in Language Teaching Association An Analysis of the Relationship Between the Two Adaptations of Cape Fear. Here I will analyse the relationship between J. Lee Thompson’s 1961 film ‘Cape Fear’ and Martin Scorsese’s 1991 re-make of the same name. In analysing the relationship between these two films, we must first understand the great social differences between American society in 1961 and American society in 1991, mainly with regard to the structure of, and relationships within, the American family. This theme of a fragmenting family is light years away from the ideology of McDonald’s book, which depicted the Bowden’s’ as the most upstanding of American families with three beautiful, good children who must battle for their lives against the monstrous Cady. Scorsese’s adaptation however is much more ambiguous in this regard. Another interesting relationship between the two films and the book is the different ways in which women are treated and represented. The Mrs Bowden of the Thompson film is, in many ways very similar to her literary counterpart. Bibliography: B. Discography:
