American director Jules Dassin, 96, whose Greek wife, Melina Mercouri, starred in his hit movie Never on Sunday and six more of his films, died yesterday at an Athens hospital, officials said. The cause of death was not made public. Mr. Dassin, whose more than 20 films also included Topkapi , abandoned Hollywood during the Communist blacklists in 1950. In 1955, he won wide acclaim for Rififi , famous for its long heist sequence that was free of dialogue. The movie won him the best-director prize at the Cannes Film Festival, where he met Mercouri. Mr. Dassin directed his wife in seven films, including 1960's Never on Sunday , in which she gained international notice for her portrayal of a kindhearted prostitute. Mr. Dassin and Mercouri both received Oscar nominations for Never on Sunday . - AP ... Source: www.variety.com --- 44 days ago

‘The Tell-Tale Heart’ o ‘El Corazón Delator’ es uno de los relatos más famosos del gran Edgar Allan Poe. La historia gira en torno a un hombre que, tras cometer un asesinato, no puede dejar de oír los latidos del corazón del muerto. Este material sirvió de base al director Jules Dassin , recientemente fallecido, para realizar el magnífico cortometraje que os dejo más abajo. Dassin , responsable de títulos tan inolvidables como ‘Noche en la Ciudad’ o ‘Rififi’, deja buena muestra de su extraordinario talento en este trabajo de casi 20 minutos; ejemplar, sobre todo, la forma en que se mantiene la tensión, que el espectador esté absolutamente pegado a la pantalla, casi sin respiración. El vídeo está en versión original (hay poco diálogo e incluso diría que se entiende sin él, si no se controla nada el inglés). Que lo disfrutéis/sufráis.

Sarris put him in the "Strained Seriousness" category in The American Cinema , calling him a "lively director in a minor key" while bemoaning his "softheaded social consciousness." The social consciousness no longer seems to function overmuch when screening his pictures today...and years and years of unimaginative ripoffs of Rififi have shown us it's not wise to undervalue such originals. Dassin's run of pictures between 1947 and 1955— Brute Force , The Naked City , Thieves Highway , Night and the City and Rififi —was about as inspired as any director ever pulls off, and Dassin didn't break his stride of inspiration even as he was going into exile. The cinematic vision of hell in Night and the City is no less unforgettable for being set in London as opposed to New York, where the conventional wisdom would deem the story better-suited. Dassin had not directed a film since 1980, but he remained active and, it appears, pretty feisty until the end of his life , which came less than a week after the death of his City star Richard Widmark. He gave some very lively interviews to The Criterion Collection for the DVDs of the five films listed above; those movies, and the reminiscences Dassin contributes to their video editions, are as good a way to get to know him as any. ...
