Instead of distancing herself from the dark and erotic nature of this milieu, she develops an obsession that begins to consume her life.
Once at O'Rourke's, Flynn was telling me how much Otto Preminger hated over-the-shoulder shots, and I nodded wisely while asking myself, how in the hell does he know that? McCarthy and Flynn later edited Kings of the Bs , a landmark anthology of writings and memoirs about auteurs of B movies past and present. I ran into Todd in the early s at the Sunset Marquis, the legendary hotel half a block down from Sunset near La Cienega.
Elaine May had been in seclusion there for months, editing her "Mikey and Nicky. Todd was her assistant. We logged time at poolside, but he spoke only in prudent terms of Elaine May's project; he betrayed no confidences.
He follows that sort of code. In the 31 years he wrote for Variety, I saw Todd countless times at film festivals. Every year at Cannes, Toronto, Sundance, Telluride.
Those were just the ones I went to. How he produced such volumes of high-quality copy, I do not know; I was running as fast as I could, but he lapped me. Todd is tall, looks grave except when he smiles, is handsome in a Clint Eastwood way. He always has information to share about a last-minute screening or who has just arrived in town. He was the master of festival logistics.
Quick, Todd! Todd directed four documentaries inspired by his love of film. The first three were "Visions of Light" , the most intelligent film I've seen about cinematography; " Claudia Jennings " , about the Playmate of the Year and B movie actress, tragically killed by a car on Pacific Coast Highway, who I believe Todd went to high school with; and "Forever Hollywood" , described by Variety itself as "a valentine to both the movies and the town with which they've become synonymous," and intended to play daily to welcome visitors to the American Cinematheque in Los Angeles.
Then there was "Man of Cinema: Pierre Rissient" , an extraordinary film about an extraordinary man at left above at Telluride, with John Simon and Todd. I have written much about the film and its subject, and the links are below. Todd made this film as a labor love about a man who has tirelessly campaigned for the films and directors he loves and often discovered among a circle that apparently includes, for example, at least half of the directors, festival programmers, exhibitors and critics at Cannes.
Pierre very often wears a T-shirt, and Todd liked to wear one quoting Pierre: "It is not enough to like a film. You have to like it for the right reasons. Todd always had reasons behind his reviews. They were clear and potentially helpful to filmmakers. His prose was considered.
It began in the closing days of slangy Varietyese and evolved into a style fresh and witty. He didn't miss a thing. He is the longest-serving and best-known member of the paper's staff, and if they made such a drastic decision, we are invited to wonder if Variety itself will long survive.
Variety used to cover everything. I remember a magical night in Rome in , when I sat late at night on the Via Veneto and gawked at the last remnants of la dolce vita.
