Rather, I\u2019m picking up on a search for substance, for movies that have the settled and solid quality of classics (despite the narrow assumptions on which such classicism is based)\u2014movies serious enough for the mood, compelling enough to provide ready distraction, and confident enough to look beyond the troubles that they evoke.

It\u2019s the story of a small town in Colorado that\u2019s facing an epidemic of a tick-borne disease\u2014amid a population that refuses to be vaccinated, and under the irresponsible watch of a vain and demagogic mayor who diverts money from a hospital to a park. (The mayor\u2019s son, by the way, is a schoolyard bully.) The nine-year-old Natalie Wood plays an orphan rescued from the wilderness by a young doctor and scientist (Dean Jagger), who\u2019s desperately attempting to overcome local resistance and protect the town from the disease along with a local teacher (Ruth Warrick), whom he loves. Religion plays a major role in the film, too, and it wouldn\u2019t be Hollywood if its role weren\u2019t sentimental; ultimately, science and faith join forces to save the day.

It\u2019s a narrow-span bio-pic on a huge canvas with a teeming cast, the story (rearranged and sanitized) of the vast achievement and rapid fall of Alan Freed, a famous d.j. and impresario who pushed rock and roll further into the forefront of the mainstream than the mainstream was yet ready to bear\u2014and of the efforts of the authorities to shut down Freed, stop his concerts, and suppress the music. Tim McIntyre gives an astonishingly centered, swinging performance as Freed, imbuing him with a restraint that vibrates with focussed insight, passion, and energy. Freed is surrounded by musicians who fill the movie with onscreen performance, as well as by composers (notably one played by Laraine Newman) and producers who shape it in real time, hustlers looking to exploit the music, and people in the city whose lives the music is changing. It\u2019s a behind-the-scenes story of creating music and creating its historical moment; it\u2019s also a story of the ambient bigotry, racism, sexism, and narrow moralism that dominated public life at the time\u2014the climactic scene involves the police finding pretexts for shutting down a concert featuring Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis, both of whom deliver exhilarating performances as themselves. The movie is directed by Floyd Mutrux, one of the hidden heroes of the American cinema of the seventies (his films \u201c<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/goings-on-about-town/movies/dusty-and-sweets-mcgee" data-reader-unique-id="13" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%;" class="">Dusty and Sweets McGee</a>\u201d and \u201c<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/richard-brody/movie-of-the-week-aloha-bobby-and-rose" data-reader-unique-id="14" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%;" class="">Aloha, Bobby and Rose</a>\u201d are <a data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://www.amazon.com/s?k=floyd+mutrux&i=instant-video&ref=nb_sb_noss_2"}" href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=floyd+mutrux&i=instant-video&ref=nb_sb_noss_2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-reader-unique-id="15" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%;" class="">also streaming</a>); his connection to rock music is at the very core of his work.</p><p data-reader-unique-id="16" style="max-width: 100%; caret-color: rgb(27, 27, 27); color: rgb(27, 27, 27); font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 15px;" class=""><em data-reader-unique-id="17" style="max-width: 100%;" class="">Stream \u201cAmerican Hot Wax\u201d on <a data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_viO-iTa2v4"}" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_viO-iTa2v4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-reader-unique-id="18" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%;" class="">YouTube</a>.</em></p><p data-reader-unique-id="20" style="max-width: 100%; caret-color: rgb(27, 27, 27); color: rgb(27, 27, 27); font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 15px;" class="">One of the staples of Depression-era Hollywood was the glossily aristocratic romantic comedy set in the pleasure domes of Europe. \u201c<strong data-reader-unique-id="21" style="max-width: 100%;" class="">The Bride Wore Red</strong>,\u201d from 1937, directed by Dorothy Arzner, turns the genre inside-out with acrid insight and theatrical flair. In Trieste, a cynical aristocrat (George Zucco) gives a dive-bar singer and taxi dancer (and, as far as Hollywood at the time could hint, a prostitute) named Anni Pavlovitch (Joan Crawford) a two-week interlude impersonating an aristocratic woman at a swank resort in the Alpine village of Terrano. There, the glamorous and bewitching newly christened Anni Vivaldi, decked out in finery on her benefactor\u2019s expense account, turns the heads of many men\u2014especially the whimsical local postman (the impulsively imaginative Franchot Tone, then Crawford\u2019s real-life husband) and another aristocrat (Robert Young) who\u2019s currently engaged to a woman from his own set (Lynne Carver). After her first taste of wealth\u2014for that matter, her first taste of knowing where her next meal is coming from\u2014Anni has no intention of giving it up, and plots and schemes to marry rich in a big hurry. Arzner\u2014working with a raft of screenwriters (credited and not), including the novelist Tess Slesinger, who adapted a play by Ferenc Molnįr\u2014looks with enormous empathy at Anni\u2019s furious desperation, which Crawford embodies with her custom blend of ferocity and yearning. The movie whirls ahead with a wild panoply of twists and wily intrigue; even as Hollywood coincidences and Hollywood sentiment put the recklessly unstable tale on solid ground, the enduring impression is of a sham society that dispenses its rewards to the unworthy.</p><p data-reader-unique-id="22" style="max-width: 100%; caret-color: rgb(27, 27, 27); color: rgb(27, 27, 27); font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 15px;" class=""><em data-reader-unique-id="23" style="max-width: 100%;" class="">Stream \u201cThe Bride Wore Red\u201d on <a data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00YU39ZYU/ref=atv_dl_rdr"}" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00YU39ZYU/ref=atv_dl_rdr" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-amzn-asin="B00YU39ZYU" data-reader-unique-id="24" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%;" class="">Amazon</a> and <a data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/the-bride-wore-red/id988206699"}" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/the-bride-wore-red/id988206699" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-reader-unique-id="25" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%;" class="">iTunes</a>.</em></p><p data-reader-unique-id="26" style="max-width: 100%; caret-color: rgb(27, 27, 27); color: rgb(27, 27, 27); font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 15px;" class="">A thought for Italy: Pier Paolo Pasolini, a poet who, in the early sixties, nearing forty, had just begun his movie career, made a documentary that premičred in 1964, \u201c<strong data-reader-unique-id="27" style="max-width: 100%;" class="">Love Meetings</strong>,\u201d in which he travels through Italy and\u2014appearing on camera, microphone in hand, interviews his compatriots about sex. His approach is wide-ranging, frank, insistent, hearty, and wry. He interviews boys about the birds and the bees, talks with girls about whether they have the same freedom as boys, asks beachgoers and soldiers, bourgeois intellectuals and factory workers and businessmen about homosexuality, prostitution, pornography, promiscuity, marriage, divorce, and the sediment of unchallenged traditions. One of the most remarkable sequences features men and women alike, in Sicily, discussing the virtual impossibility of women there participating at all in public life. (A remarkable follow-up to that sequence is Kim Longinotto\u2019s 2019 documentary \u201c<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/goings-on-about-town/movies/shooting-the-mafia" data-reader-unique-id="28" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%;" class="">Shooting the Mafia</a>,\u201d which isn\u2019t streaming yet\u2014I\u2019ll keep an eye out.)

It\u2019s not a Western, per se; it\u2019s set in its own time, in a town on the border of Nebraska and Wyoming, where Bim (Buck Jones), the local layabout (he says he gets exhausted from watching others work), rescues a boy named Bill (Georgie Stone) who\u2019s thrown off a freight train for hoboing. In school, Bill is taunted and bullied for his poverty and his association with Bim, his improvised guardian. Bim loves a schoolteacher, Miss Bruce (Helen Ferguson), but she has been going around with a local banker. There are some high-wire melodramatic turns, involving reward money, white-collar crime, gangland conspiracies, and wild horsemanship; Ford leavens the action with sardonic satire of supposedly respectable society, its displays of hypocritical virtue under calls for law and order, and the vital energy and steadfast moral\u2014and civic\u2014conscience of those whom it casts aside.</p><p data-reader-unique-id="45" style="max-width: 100%; caret-color: rgb(27, 27, 27); color: rgb(27, 27, 27); font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 15px;" class=""><em data-reader-unique-id="46" style="max-width: 100%;" class="">Stream \u201cJust Pals\u201d on <a data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B074TZP7DS/ref=atv_dl_rdr"}" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B074TZP7DS/ref=atv_dl_rdr" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-amzn-asin="B074TZP7DS" data-reader-unique-id="47" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%;" class="">Amazon</a>, <a data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqAuo0ElIF0"}" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqAuo0ElIF0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-reader-unique-id="48" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%;" class="">YouTube</a>, and other services.</em></p><div class="">
