When last seen, Steven C. Barber had just decided to defer buying a Lexus. Instead, he invested his savings in a Variety “for your consideration” ad to boost his 2012 film Until They Are Home, about the recovery of military remains from the World War II battle of Tarawa.
Barber still doesn’t have that new car (and the film got no Oscar nominations). But he does have another cinematic labor of love on his hands — a new documentary that reminds us, of all things, that the United States military has been a significant contributor to sound journalism through its in-house publication, Stars and Stripes.
Called The World’s Most Dangerous Paper Route, the film is directed by Matthew Hausle and counts Barber among its producers, through his Vanilla Fire company. To be clear, the documentary is authorized and supported by Stars and Stripes, which provided its budget...

In addition to being an excellent tipper, Tom Hanks is a believer in a free—and caffeinated—press.
On Thursday, Reuters White House and politics reporter Steve Holland tweeted out a photo of a fancy espresso machine the actor sent to reporters covering the Trump administration. “Thankx to @tomhanks for the new coffee machine for the schlubs in the Wh press room,” he wrote.
The gift was accompanied by a note from Hanks, which reads: “Keep up the good fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Especially the truth part.” The letter also features Bill Mauldin’s Pulitzer prize-winning World War II drawing,...

“The Guts, Gags and Glory of a Lot of Wonderful Guys!”
— say, what kind of movie is this, anyway?
Action movies about combat are now mostly about soldiers that fight like killing machines, or stories of battle with a strong political axe to grind. WW2 changed perceptions completely, when a mostly civilian army did the fighting. With the cessation of hostilities combat pictures tapered off quickly, and Hollywood gave the subject a break for several years.

It seems like every day I read about another editorial cartoonist losing his job, and that’s a real shame.
Editorial cartoons are one-panel comics that told an entire story that commented on the news of the day. It wasn’t long ago that this stuff was run on the front page of many, if not most, great American newspapers. Everybody had one on staff – except the Metropolis Daily Planet, which, oddly, didn’t seem to hire many cartoonists. Most newspapers also deployed syndicated editorial cartoons as well. Many weekly newsmagazines reprinted them, and The Week still does.
There were brilliant editorial cartoonists. And by “brilliant,” I mean text-book phenomenal. My favorite was Bill Mauldin; other greats include Ron Cobb, Paul
Conrad, John Fischetti, Herblock, Thomas Nast, Carey Orr, John T. McCutcheon (there’s a rest stop on the Indiana Toll Way named after him) and Theodor Geisel. Yep, that’s Doctor Suess.

This book — collecting the cartoons Mauldin created for syndication from July of 1945 through the end of 1946 — cannot be fully appreciated by just reading those cartoons. Luckily, Willie & Joe: Back Home also includes a long, in-depth introduction by Mauldin’s biographer Todd DePastino (Bill Mauldin: A Life Up Front, which I reviewed in a round-up of comics-creator bios), which explains exactly how, in those cartoons, Mauldin was systematically dismantling all of his good will and success from the war years by doing the one thing an editorial cartoonist must: fearlessly telling the truth as he sees it, afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted.
Post-war America didn’t want to hear what Mauldin had to say; it was ready to turn back to isolationism, crony capitalism, racism, and a casual disdain for most of the rest of the world. But Mauldin had America’s ear after his hugely popular and...

This is part of Fred Zinnemann Week, hosted at Shadowplay.
I've found that, for some people, the classic-status ubiquity of certain scenes in From Here to Eternity or High Noon, plus the damned aura of taste and quality which surrounds an AFI-favored filmmaker like Fred Zinnemann, can be intensely off-putting. I've also found that I prefer some of the director's less celebrated works. In other words, I think he deserves his high reputation, but perhaps for reasons and films that aren't so well-trodden.
One of Fred Z.'s undoubted attributes was an eye for acting talent. If he had only introduced Brando, Clift and Steiger to the screen, he would deserve to be remembered, but in fact he directed the first films of Julie Harris, Brandon De Wilde, Tony Franciosa, William Hickey, Don Murray, Claude Akins, Shirley Jones and Meryl Streep. And he directed early film appearances of Jessica Tandy,...
