  1. Manny Farber, maverick movie critic, dead at 91

    Manny Farber, an influential film critic whose writings punctured the self-serious veil of art-house favorites Orson Welles and Francois Truffaut while celebrating the less-studied but more-entertaining work of Laurel & Hardy and Howard Hawks, has died....

  5. Book reviews: 'Sherlock Holmes on the Stage'; 'Blood on the Stage'

    MYSTERY AND detection have been popular stage themes since "Oedipus Rex." Hamlet, for instance, took several acts to figure out who murdered his father. In the 19th century, melodramas that featured criminals, crime and the forces of justice flourished in England and America, often based on real cases. In 1863, Tom Taylor's "The Ticket-of -Leave Man" (featuring Hawkshaw the detective) was extremely successful in both countries, followed by adaptations of works of Dickens and Wilkie Collins. The genre's greatest success came at the very end of the century, with American productions of Twain's "Pudd'nhead Wilson," Anna Katherine Green's "The Leavenworth Case" and, most important, William Gillette's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes.

  6. Woody Allen reflects on 'Vicky Christina Barcelona,' love and his life

    THE ONLY place <a href=&quot;http://topics.latimes.com/entertainment/people/woody-allen"><b>Woody Allen</b></a> ever really wants to be is in his bed. "My spot on the bed is my spot in the world," he explains. It's where he watches baseball games, and reads, and where he writes, usually in the morning, because if he starts at night, he sometimes gets so excited he can't go to sleep. It's where the act of imagination is actually "pleasurable and I might go cast the people and see my characters come to life. And I put the music in and I see the characters playing their scenes to the beautiful music behind them. You know, I get a kick out of that. And if nobody else does, that's too bad."

  8. Orson Welles' 'Quixote' was eerily like his life

    IN THE messy and singular <i>oeuvre</i> of Orson Welles -- a filmography full of unseen works and unfinished business -- there was no lost object more mythic than his &quot;Don Quixote." Welles started shooting his adaptation of Miguel de Cervantes' 17th century classic in 1955 as a television drama, worked on it sporadically over the years and was still talking about completing it at the time of his death in 1985.

    If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the Irish Repertory Theatre must be writing a love letter to "The 39 Steps," Broadway's winking, small-scale send-up of Hitchcock's 1935 black-and-white thriller. With a handful of actors playing a...
