“Barrack Room Ballads”- Rudyard Kipling! Rich, haunting, longing poetry from the 1890s from the perspective of British soldiers serving in the India/Burma/Malay theater during Empire’s colonial heyday. Included are Gunga Din and Mandalay.(you may recall in the TV series The Crown, Lord Mountbatten stirringly recites the last several verses of Mandalay to a gathering of old soldiers!) #barrackroomballads #poetry #kipling #rudyardkipling #gungadin #mountbatten #lordmountbatten #england #english #britain #british #britishempire #greatbritain #uk #unitedkingdom #colonial #colonialism #india #burma #mandalay

Gunga, a Hindu from Oudh and a Chaprasi (messenger) of No. 22 Astronomical Survey Party (of which Captain Sidney Burrard was in charge). Painted in the year 1894 by Gertrude Ellen Burrard. She was an English Woman and wife of Sidney Burrard, a British Indian Army Officer and Superintendent on the Trigonometrical Survey of India. She accompanied her husband across India in his official capacity. She was an amateur artist, she recorded the people and places that she encountered and exhibited her paintings for many years in India. Indians especially from poor backgrounds often found employment with the British officers. The Gora Sahebs as they would call them. A Chaprasi is usually an attendant or messenger working for an official. We don't know much about Gunga the person depicted in the painting. He looks to be in his 50s. It appears he was an honest and obedient employee. His service seems to have been immortalized in this painting. @nam_london #hindu #indian #chaprasi #gungadin #pictureoftheday #photooftheday #artoftheday #oiloncanvas #portraitpainting #britishindia #colonialindia #indianw

I’m honored once again to join Paul Smith & Arlo Wiley on their wonderful Podcast, ‘Gobbledygeek;’  again for their Series ‘That Was Then’ where Movie Anniversaries are celebrated.  As it’s 2024, they’ve done 1984’s ‘Ghostbusters’ (its 40th), 2004’s ‘Sideways’ (its 20th), we chatted 1964’s ‘The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg’ (its 60th), and this time it’s 1939’s ‘Gunga Din’ (its 85th). . You’ve sure heard about it on THIS Podcast: the George Stevens-directed, Cary Grant / Victor McLaglen / Douglas Fairbanks Jr.-starring High Adventure.  Admittedly, ‘Din’ (“Deen”) holds a special place for me as all the exteriors were filmed in Lone Pine’s Alabama Hills which holds a number of great tie-ins.  My Dad wrote the book on the movies made there (aptly titled ‘On Location In Lone Pine’), ‘Din’ was William Goldman’s favorite (spawning his “Stupid Courage”), ‘Din’ was Director Richard Donner’s favorite, and I’d essentially meet both Goldman & Donner on their ‘Maverick.’  PS, ‘Din’ was remade as ‘Sergeants 3’ AND introduced us to Kali 45 Years before Indiana Jones went to The Temple Of Doom. . Does ‘Din’ hold up?  I think Paul, Arlo & I agreed yes and no.  YES on the High Adventure and certainly the 1939 Practical Sets & Cast & Crew are to be appreciated.  But – fairly – we get into the 1939 Socio-Political factors that tarnish some modern viewings.  (Never mind Goldman called it, quote, “the greatest picture ever made and only an idiot – or a critic – would argue that point.”  And Donner?  He homages ‘Din’ in ‘Lethal Weapon 3’ and wanted to shoot ‘Maverick’ in Lone Pine BECAUSE ‘Din’ had been shot there.  Buuuuut moving on.) . A VERY sincere thanks, Paul & Arlo, for shouting-out ‘From Out Of The Past.’  You can find ‘Gobbledygeek’ at gobbledygeekpodcast.com and on Facebook.  If you’re a fan of Fanpeeps waxing lyrical about Decades-Old Movies, you could do worse; I mean, this is the place!

Pulled out an old favourite after a morning of cleaning and exercise. I had this on video for many many years and it’s one of my favourites but I only recently found it on DVD. Based on Rudyard Kipling’s two poems, “Gunga Din” and “Soldiers Three”, this film follows water boy Gunga Din (Sam Jaffe) who longs to be a British Indian soldier but because of his caste can only be a water boy. He follows the British Army unit which includes three sergeants - Cutter (Cary ❤️ Grant), MacChesney (Victor McLagen) and Ballantine (Douglas Fairbanks Jnr - whose second autobiography I just read) who love getting into scrapes and fights. The three sergeants are sent to investigate broken signal wires after emergency alerts are sent and encounter a band of Thuggees led by Chota (Abner Biebermen) and have to fight their way out of town. Gunga Din then warns them of a planned mass uprising by the Thugees and they all set off to the cult’s temple to stop it. Also starring Joan Fontaine as a love interest for Ballantine, this was the second highest grossing film of 1939, second only to “Gone With the Wind”, starring Fontaine’s sister Olivia de Havilland (both of whose biographies I’ve recently purchased but have yet to read). Looking forward to seeing it again - comedy and action, courage under fire, cameraderie. “You’re a better man than me Gunga Din”. #gungadin #youreabetterpersonthanme #carygrant #douglasfairbanksjr #victormclaglen #joanfontaine #samjaffe #rudyardkipling #soldiersthree #soldiers3 #1939 #1930s #nowwatching #whatimwatching #nowwatching🎬 #classicfilm #classicfilmfan #filmjunkie #filmimwatching #oldmovies #classichollywoodstars #classichollywoodactress #classichollywoodactor #oldhollywood #vintagehollywoodactress #vintagehollywoodstars #vintagehollywood #oldhollywood #oldhollywoodstars #cinemalegends #cinemalover

I’ve been reading a lot more these days- and this morning, I just finished this one. PT 105 by Dick Keresey, her former Captain. For starters, if you were unaware (not that you care)- my account is named after the PT Boat. They’ve been a long time interest of mine, having had a PBR Boat Captain dad, and having been a small boat coxswain myself in the Marines. The book is a welcome departure from PT 109, or “They Were Expendable”. In fact, Dick was a member of Motor Torpedo Squadron Five (MTBRON 5). One of his shipmates was none other than JFK. In his words- “Long ago I stopped talking about her (PT 105) because, when I said that I’d been the captain of PT 105, people asked “Oh, is that so? Did you know Jack Kennedy?” Sure, I knew Jack Kennedy, a nice guy, but I never seemed to get the conversation beyond him. So I thought, why bother, leave her to the historians. Now, I’ve changed my mind.” One passage in particular gripped my imagination- it had me longing for a time machine. It described a hot break from contact with Japanese shore guns after a dawn raid- “For a brief moment, I too, ignored the shell fire and sensed only this splendid boat, racing flat out. The sea that day was perfect for speed: small, choppy waves helped the hull break the surface tension, so that little but her props and rudders were in the water. She skimmed over the surface without a bounce or tremor, her engines screaming their wonderful, giant-tomcat howl, and her guns chattering into the smoke astern and the nearby shore.” I could picture the sight- wide open, .50s barking, flying through their own smoke, three Packard V-12s roaring… 🖤 The poem on slide two was written by Keresey’s XO, Joe Roberts about him- his nickname being “Gunga Dick” of the Kipling poem fame (Gunga Din). These boats exemplify peak gunboat performance 💪. 105 survived the war, only to be stripped and burned in Samar, Philippines. 😪 #USN #WWII #PTBoat #PT105 #PT109 #GUNBOAT #TorpedoBoat #GungaDin #TheyWereExpendable #PackardV12 #MosquitoBoat #DevilBoat

On this day in history 01/24/24. In 1939 the Adventure film “Gunga Din”, starring Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. was released. Loosely based on the 1890 poem of the same name by Rudyard Kipling combined with elements of his 1888 short story collection Soldiers Three. The film is about three British sergeants and Gunga Din, their native bhisti (water bearer), who fight the Thuggee, an Indian murder cult, in colonial British India. The film earned $1,507,000 in the United States and Canada and $1,300,000 elsewhere, but because of its high production cost, it recorded a loss of $193,000. The film was the sixth highest-grossing film nationally in 1939; however, in the ten states of Indiana, Ohio, Nebraska, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina, it was the third highest-grossing film, coming only behind Gone with the Wind. Cinematographer Joseph H. August was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Cinematography, Black-and-White. In 1999, the film was deemed “culturally significant” by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. Noe you know.

It may be The Greatest Picture You’ve Never Seen.  . Or even heard of?  . If you know, you know, but too few do so I showcase every chance I get.  Sure, it came out in 1939 (arguably Movies’ Greatest Year) and was overshadowed by at least ‘Gone With The Wind’ (though this was 2nd in Box Office that year, saving RKO Studios).  . ‘Gunga Din’ . And are we all pronouncing it DEEN as Rudyard Kipling’s Original Poem does?  . It’s a Movie that almost didn’t exist.  It all but created “The Buddy Picture.”  It’s William Goldman’s favorite – spawning the Title of his first Novel: ‘The Temple Of Gold’ – and it’s Richard Donner’s favorite, spawning a scene in ‘Lethal Weapon 3’ and his shooting ‘Maverick’ in Lone Pine’s Alabama Hills (BECAUSE ‘Din’ had been shot there);  and, sure, it holds a special place for me as Dad literally Wrote the Book on That Area – aptly titled ‘On Location In Lone Pine’ – and Co-Founded The Lone Pine Film Festival.  And I was lucky to work on ‘Maverick’ (ALL this covered in our Podcast’s Ep 1).  . It’s easy to see how and why this Movie was Seminal, beyond it being remade as ‘Sergeants 3’ and introducing most of us to Kali 45 Years before Indiana Jones went to The Temple Of Doom.  And you can’t overstate how Good it is, even seeing it for the first time today (I whole-heartedly suggest seeing it with a Crowd).  Cary’s Cary, of course, but McLaglen and Fairbanks are great too;  the “Buddies” great TOGETHER.  The action is solid, so’s the comedy, and by the time we get to the Heart of it – Sam Jaffe and his “Stupid Courage” as William Goldman calls it – well, you’ll be wondering HOW you’ve never seen it … or when you can again. . Premiering today in 1939, Co-Starring Joan Fontaine, Eduardo Ciannelli, Abner Biberman and and and;  Based (loosely) on the Kipling Poem;  Screenplayed by a Slew of Names, notably Ben Hecht & Charles MacArthur and William Faulker and Dudley Nichols;  Directed by George Stevens … . I hope you enjoy;  this Movie AND our Podcast, ‘From Out Of The Past’ from Holland Imaginarium!  Season 1:  The Life & Career of William Goldman. .

Remembering Cary Grant (January 18, 1904 – November 29, 1986) on his birth anniversary today! Film and stage actor who the American Film Institute named the second greatest male star of all-time in 1999. He starred in such films as The Philadelphia Story, The Awful Truth, His Girl Friday, Notorious, and North By Northwest. He performed with an English stage troupe as a stilt walker. He traveled to Hollywood in 1931 and tried to get acting gigs under the name Cary Lockwood. His roles in the films Penny Serenade and None But the Lonely Heart earned him Academy Award nominations. He married one of the wealthiest women of the era, Barbara Hutton in 1942. His fifth wife, whom he was married to from 1981 to 1986, was also named Barbara. He co-starred with Katharine Hepburn in the 1938 screwball comedy Bringing Up Baby. #BirthAnniversary #CaryGrant #Actor #BlondeVenus (1932) #SheDoneHimWrong (1933) #TheAwfulTruth (1937) #Charade (1963) #BringingUpBaby (1938) #HisGirlFriday (1940) #GungaDin (1939) #ThePhiladelphiaStory (1940) #ArsenicandOldLace (1944) #OnlyAngelsHaveWings (1939) #PennySerenade (1941) #NonebuttheLonelyHeart (1944) #Suspicion (1941) #Notorious (1946) #ToCatchaThief (1955) #NorthbyNorthwest (1959) #ThatTouchofMink (1962) #Artist #Hollywood #AmmarAlavi

Completing the trio of performers for tomorrow's Kent Pop Exchange line up is rapper and producer JUDE NESS. Jude's music takes influence not just from hip hop, but also genres outside of rap including indie rock and punk and deals with themes of mental health, isolation and a broken heart. If you're a Radio 1 listener, you'll recognise his featured track 'Designer', having been chosen as record of the week. #kent #margate #whereelse #music #grassrootsmusicvenues #forthemanynotthefew #communityartspace #kentpopexchange #showcase #january #kidvillain #gungadin #judeness #rap #hiphop #designer #radio1

As one of you already astutely noted, the only national scenic area not part of the Forest Service is Alabama Hills National Scenic Area, which is administered by the Bureau of Land Management. To put things in perspective, the BLM is responsible for 247 million acres of federal land, three times that of the National Park Service. Most of that land is maintained for mining, oil and gas extraction, and grazing. However, the BLM does oversee a number of national monuments, federally designated wilderness units, and this one national scenic area, not to mention virtually all the feral equines in the US. Chances are you've already seen the Alabama Hills (named by Confederate sympathizers after the warship of the same name) featured in a truck commercial. The rugged terrain of the Owens Valley just east of Mount Whitney has been used by filmmakers from the silents of Fatty Arbuckle to the recent "Iron Man." Apart from innumerable westerns, the Alabama Hills were shot as the backdrop for a number of "Easterns", used a stand-in for the northwest frontier of India (now Afghanistan/Pakistan). Having hiked in the foothills of the Hindu Kush, I can say the similarity is fairly apt. The biggest production ever to film on location here was the adventure classic "Gunga-Din", which later influenced the Indiana Jones movies. The road through the Alabama Hills is mostly an unpaved, washboard track, but side trails will take the able explorer to such weird sights as Nightmare Rock, the Shark's Fin, and Mobius Arch. The views and colors are breathtaking when the sun sets behind the Sierra Nevada range to the immediate west. For scramblers, movie junkies, and serious climbers, the Alabama Hills are a natural playground. See if you can identify it when next watching a commercial for a Dodge Ram!

Happy Birthday, George Stevens! . He was born George Cooper Stevens in Oakland, California in 1904.  At Age 10, his mother gave him a Still Camera;  and, at Age 17, Hal Roach Studios hired him as an Assistant Cameraman (he started with Rex The Wonder Horse in Utah).  In 1933, he made his First Feature, ‘The Cohens And Kellys In Trouble’ at Universal.  And, in 1935, his Big Break was Katharine Hepburn’s ‘Alice Adams.’ . As he pertains to Season 1 of our Podcast?  Why, he only Directed ‘Gunga Din’ (which – not just as William Goldman’s favorite movie – features throughout Season 1).  But George Stevens should be a name well recognized by Movie Fans for the slew of hits – Critical & Commercial – he Directed.  Off the top of my head?  ‘Woman Of The Year,’ ‘A Place In The Sun’ (which won him the Oscar), ‘Shane,’ ‘Giant’ (also won him the Oscar), ‘The Diary Of Anne Frank,’ & ‘The Greatest Story Ever Told.’  . If you’re looking for some Great BTS, do check-out ‘A Filmmaker’s Journey’ made by his son, George Stevens Jr. (who, PS, founded @americanfilminstitute) and ‘Five Came Back’ (no, not the underrated Lucille Ball-starrer but Netflix’ look at Hollywood Directors in WWII).  Not only is Stevens’ the Only European Color Footage in WWII, he documented D-Day and the liberation of Dachau (the latter used in the Nuremberg Trials).  He was Honorably Discharged a Lieutenant Colonel. . He was Nominated for Best Director 5 Times and his Films were Nominated for Best Picture 5 Times.  He received the Legion of Merit, the Irving Thalberg, the Lifetime Achievement, the National Board of Review, and the New York Film Critics Circle Awards. . He passed in 1975 at his Ranch in Lancaster, California and is interred at Forest Lawn, Hollywood Hills. . (Re)view any of his genuinely incredible work and we hope you enjoy ‘From Out Of The Past,’ the New Podcast from Holland Imaginarium!  Season 1:  The Life & Career of William Goldman. .

Happy Birthday, George Stevens! . He was born George Cooper Stevens in Oakland, California in 1904, the son of Stage Actors.  But the lineage doesn’t end there as his brother Jack was a Cinematographer & brother Aston a Writer.  AND Famed Drama Critic Ashton Stevens and Film Director James W. Horne (several ‘Laurel & Hardys,’ the ‘Spider’s Web’ Serial, the ‘Shadow’ Serial) were his Uncles.  At Age 10, his mother gave him a Still Camera;  and, at Age 17, Hal Roach Studios hired him as an Assistant Cameraman (he started with Rex The Wonder Horse in Utah).  In 1933, he made his First Feature, ‘The Cohens And Kellys In Trouble’ at Universal.  And, in 1935, his Big Break was Katharine Hepburn’s ‘Alice Adams.’ . George Stevens is certainly a name well recognized by Movie Fans for the slew of hits – Critical & Commercial – he Directed.  Off the top of my head?  ‘Woman Of The Year,’ ‘A Place In The Sun’ (which won him the Oscar), ‘Shane,’ ‘Giant’ (also won him the Oscar), ‘The Diary Of Anne Frank,’ & ‘The Greatest Story Ever Told.’  And if you’re listening to Season 1 of @fromoutofthepastpodcast (and I thank you), he Directed ‘Gunga Din’ (which – not just as William Goldman’s AND Richard Donner’s favorite movie – features throughout Season 1). . If you’re looking for some Great George Stevens BTS, do check-out ‘A Filmmaker’s Journey’ made by his son, George Stevens Jr. (who, PS, founded @americanfilminstitute) and ‘Five Came Back’ (no, not the underrated Lucille Ball-starrer but Netflix’ look at 5 Hollywood Directors in WWII).  Not only is Stevens’ the Only European Color Footage in WWII, he documented D-Day and the liberation of Dachau (the latter used in the Nuremberg Trials).  He was Honorably Discharged a Lieutenant Colonel. .

Happy birthday to Victor McLaglen, born in London’s East end December 10, 1886.

Happy birthday to Douglas Fairbanks Jr, born December 9, 1909, in New York City. Besides his acting career, he, reportedly, was a talented sculptor and painter and had a good head for business. As Ballantine in the mighty "Gunga Din." #douglasfairbanksjr #actor #acting #Hollywood #movies #gungadin #NYC #newyorkcity

November 29, 1986: Cary Grant dies of a massive stroke at 82 while on the road in Davenport, Iowa, with his travelling "A Conversation with Cary Grant" live Q&A. Apparently, Grant was a devotee of LSD in the 1960s, tripping numerous times. I wonder if he actually said, "Judy, Judy, Judy," when he was stoned off his ass? #carygrant #hollywood #moviestar #movies #actor #acting #gungadin #comedy #drama #hitchcock #hisgirlfriday #gay

Recordando a #RosalindRussell, cuando se cumplen 47 años de su muerte, con esta fotografía en la que aparece junto a #CaryGrant y #HowardHawks en el set de #LunaNueva ( #HisGirlFriday, 1940). Esta obra maestra de la #Comedia centra su radio de acción en los entresijos del periodismo. Arroja una mirada irónica sobre el mundo de la prensa y la política. Posee un sentido del ritmo endiablado que permite que las acciones disparatadas propias de la #ScrewballComedy sucedan fluidamente. Extraordinaria adaptación de la obra de teatro #TheFrontPage, de #BenHecht y #CharlesMacArthur que obtuvo críticas fabulosas en el momento de su estreno. En la actualidad, está considerada todo un clásico de la comedia del #CineClásico de #Hollywood. Anteriormente, la misma historia había sido llevada a la gran pantalla por #LewisMilestone en 1931, y en 1974 el gran Billy Wilder también haría otra versión inolvidable en #PrimeraPlana. «Luna nueva» es una de las primeras películas donde se impone el texto sobre la imagen. El cine también, además de visual, también puede ser narrativo, literario y auditivo. El guion prodigioso de #CharlesLederer posee una modernidad nada habitual para la época. No cabe duda de que los actores ayudan mucho al éxito del filme, porque tenemos a Cary Grant, quien ya era bastante famoso entre el público norteamericano gracias a éxitos de crítica y público como #HistoriasDeFiladelfia o #GungaDin. En esta película el actor estadounidense de origen británico realiza uno de sus mejores papeles. Sin embargo, me gustaría destacar la interpretación de Rosalind Russell, simplemente maravillosa. Su papel de la periodista de habla rápida Hildy Johnson la lanzó al estrellato. La actriz se caracterizó, tanto en su vida personal como en su carrera cinematográfica por ser una dama sofisticada.

Y finalizamos el día con el "cumpleaños" de Joan Fontaine!( 22 de octubre de 1917) Nuestra "Carita de mono" era Hermanísima de Olivia De Havilland (a quien yo prefiero-y que también está en "mujeres de"-debido tal vez a un exceso de pelis de Errol Flynn en la infancia).Las hermanísimas se llevaban a matar (Olivia dicen que aún vivía hasta hace poco solo por superarla en eso también-ella tiene 2 Oscars) y aunque ambas trataron de escapar de SUS roles y demostrar su calidad como actrices "completas" Joan será seguramente recordada como una de las grandes sufridas e inocentes damitas de la gran pantalla gracias a clásicos como "Rebeca" o "Sospecha" #joanfontaine #joanfontaineissobeautiful #joanfontaine💎 #letterfromanunknownwoman #suspicion1941 #rebecca1940 #janeeyre1943 #theconstantnymph #ivanhoe #thewomen1939 #gungadin #actress #actresses #mujeresdehollywoood #Instaart #draw #illustration #boligrafo #nachocastroilustrador #ballpenart #ballpendrawing #nachocastroilustrador #star #hollywoodstar #boli #fanart #art #instaart
