The best prescription in our confined times. \nIn 1929\, Joe and Jerry\, two out of work musicians must hide from Chicago mobsters after inadvertently witnessing their involvement in the St. Valentine Day’s massacre. Fearing for their lives\, what better way to be safe than joining an all-girl jazz band on a train bound for Florida…disguised in drag as Josephine and Daphne. \n“It will be a disaster\,” producer David O. Selznick warned Billy Wilder. “You cannot combine comedy and murder.” \nBut that is exactly what the Sunset Boulevard director did. Using the 1935 French farce Fanfare d’amour and its 1951 German remake\, as the basis for a new script co-written with his accomplice I.A.L. Diamond. The result? A quite daring comedy for the conservative Eisenhower era\, when Hollywood in the late 50s was trying to reinvent itself in that genre after a long dry spell. A highly entertaining cocktail mixing cross-dressing\, sexual innuendos\, non-stop high jinx\, genre-bending shenanigans\, and an homage to the gangster movies from the thirties (with George Raft for added reference to the period.) \nMitzi Gaynor was considered for the role of ukulele playing singer Sugar Kane Kowalczyk. But when Marilyn Monroe\, who had worked with Wilder in The Seven Year Itch four years earlier\, showed interest\, the part was retailored for her. She was in on the joke\, playing with her image as a dumb blonde that had been her trademark. And she makes a memorable screen entrance in the film\, sashaying on the platform before boarding the train\, suddenly startled by a burst of steam whistling at her backside. \nEschewing her usual strict contract clause to only be photographed in color\, Marilyn is glowing\, thanks to the silky black and white lighting of master cinematographer Charles Lang and sultry costumes by Ory-Kelly. Oozing crystalline sex-appeal like no one else\, she is at her most touchingly magnetic and sensual\, as she coos the immortal Poo poo pee doo from I Wanna Be Loved By You. Many times imitated\, never surpassed. \nAs her co-stars on high heels\, screamingly funny Jack Lemmon (in a part initially intended for Frank Sinatra!) and heart-throb Tony Curtis are the epitome of comic timing and irrepressible chemistry. Among so many highlights: Lemmon as Daphne playing the maracas in ecstatic delirium or dancing the tango with the unflappable Joe E. Brown who gets the memorable “nobody’s perfect” punchline in the closing scene. Hilarious also\, Curtis pouting lips as Josephine or his imitation of Cary Grant’s clipped speech pattern when posing in another funny disguise\, as the aloof millionaire Junior\, to better woo Sugar. \nFilming was a challenge\,  notoriously caused by Monroe’s tardiness and her inability at times to remember very simple lines\, requiring in some instances\, up to more than thirty takes to say “It’s me\, Sugar” or “Where’s that bourbon.” Wilder’s patience was often put to test but in the end\, only the result counted.  With its fast-paced tempo\, scintillating dialogues\, and perfect casting\, Some Like it Hot is still irresistibly funny\, 61 years after it was first released. And\, under the varnish of quintessential entertainment\, a more relevant than ever anthem in praise of acceptance and difference. \nThe film won three Golden Globes. Best Comedy\, Best Actress in a Comedy for Marilyn Monroe and Best Actor in a Comedy for Jack Lemmon. And it still tops the American Film Institute list for best comedy of all time. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n

After all\, you’d have to be Superman to weave a coherent story out of so many outlandish ideas heaped on top of each other\, let alone turn it into a box-office smash\, beloved by children and adults for generations to come. \n\n\nThe Goonies didn’t have Superman. The 1985 kids favourite\, back in cinemas for one week only from this Friday\, had the next best thing: director Richard Donner\, who a few years earlier had basically birthed modern superhero cinema with two blockbusters about the Man of Steel (1978’s Superman and 1980’s Superman II). Also fighting the movie’s corner was another filmmaker of superhuman Hollywood heft – Steven Spielberg. Legend has it that Spielberg was working on The Color Purple when the thought struck him: what do children do on rainy days? What adventures might they dream up? \n\n\nHe handed this germ of an idea to Donner and screenwriter Christopher Columbus\, who expanded it into a story about a gang of misfits facing a future apart. A deal had been struck to demolish their neighbourhood\, the Goon Docks\, to make way for an expanding golf resort. That is\, unless residents Mikey\, Mouth\, Data\, Chunk and Brand – the Goonies\, as they call themselves – could uncover some long-lost local treasure\, the loot of a pirate named One-Eyed Willy. They weren’t alone in hunting the sea captain’s mythical gold\, however. Hot on their heels were a dysfunctional family of Italian mobsters that included disfigured baby brother Sloth\, kept in chains in a dingy underground lair. The race was on\, with friendships to be forged\, tested and turned into triumph along the way. \n\nThe Goonies was greenlit and given a pretty sizeable $19m-budget\, because of the filmmaking talent attached to it. On its release\, it made its money back three times over: Donner’s movie ended 1985 having grossed $61m\, making it one of top 10 box-office draws of that year. It’s since become the definition of a cult classic: the sugar-rush comic quest that felt like Stand By Me sent careening underground\, through skeleton-filled caves laced with eye-popping booby traps. Its catchphrases are now part of the fabric of American cinema (“Goonies never say die!”) and almost 35 years on\, the film’s cult following hasn’t diminished – nor that audience’s appetite for a long-rumoured sequel. What’s the secret of The Goonies? How did Donner turn such a mishmash of ideas into an unlikely success story\, an adventure whose appeal seems destined to never say die?\n\n[/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”jumbo” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” url=”https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/goonies-josh-brolin-avengers-sean-astin-steven-spielberg-a8876041.html” text=”READ MORE – “The Goonies: Inside the 1980s treasure hunt adventure whose cult appeal will never die“” margin_top=”30″ margin_bottom=”30″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][image_with_animation image_url=”10912″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][image_with_animation image_url=”10913″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][image_with_animation image_url=”10918″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n

But be sure to bring your mask. All attendees must wear masks outdoors if not able to social distance. \nNew York City has its ball drop. Easton has its crab drop. And now\, in its FIFTH year\, Cambridge has its own New Year’s Eve drop — featuring a workboat. The New Year’s Eve Boat Drop will feature a replica of a trot-lining deadrise — a traditional waterman’s workboat — launched down more than 60 feet of track at midnight on Dec. 31. The street will be closed from 10pm to 1am for the celebration in the 500 block of Poplar Street in Cambridge. \nThe boat\, named in a competition in 2016 the “Groove City Lady”\, is about 4 feet long and will be traveling at about 14 miles an hour when it hits bottom. As it’s coming down it will knock crabs off the line\, which will be the “trot-lining” aspect. There’s also a contest to name the boat. The boat travels on 80 feet of track\, 20 feet longer than last year\, which will take 10 secs or less. \n“We wanted something different and relevant for the Eastern Shore\, and in particular Dorchester County\, and this is what we came up with\,” said Cambridge native Brian Roche\, who came up with the idea with Rob Kramer\, a welder in Hurlock\, and Scott Schilling\, owner of Bay Country Communications. \nThe idea behind the boat drop\, Roche said\, is not only to encourage people to come to downtown Cambridge and patronize the local businesses on New Year’s Eve (most of the restaurants will be open late)\, but also to bring the community together to celebrate. \nThe 500 block of Poplar Street will be closed starting on New Year’s Eve. People are welcome to watch as the 60 feet of track is constructed. The 500 block of Poplar is between Gay and High Streets\, near the Crab Basket Christmas Tree\, another distinctively Dorchester holiday project that has quickly become a local tradition. \nThe boat drop project has been a labor of love. Bay Country Communications is sponsoring everything and their techs painted the track and practiced assembling and testing the drop in their warehouse. They’ll also be setting everything up on New Year’s Eve. Rob Kramer Welding in Hurlock engineered and built the replica boat and the track. B&B Auto Body painted the boat. Kevin Hill of Hill Kimmel Construction is lending his construction lift to raise the boat into the air. And various others—WHCP Radio\, Cambridge Main Street\, Dorchester Tourism\, Mid Shore Graphics\, downtown businesses\, the City of Cambridge and the Cambridge Police Department—are all helping with logistics and promotion.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n
