Richard Schickel

    10 février 1933 – 18 février 2017

    Richard Schickel fut un important historien et critique de cinéma américain dont l'œuvre a plongé en profondeur dans l'histoire et l'évolution du cinéma américain. Il a souvent remis en question les approches critiques établies, analysant les attitudes sociales et morales changeantes qui ont influencé la création cinématographique. Ses écrits et documentaires ont exploré non seulement le cinéma, mais aussi d'autres formes de culture populaire, comme les dessins animés. La contribution de Schickel réside dans sa perspective perspicace sur la critique cinématographique et son rôle dans la société.

      Richard Schickel traces in fascinating detail the genesis of the film: its literary origins in the crime fiction of the 1930s, the difficult relations between Wilder and his scriptwriter Raymond Chandler, the casting of a reluctant Fred MacMurray, the late decision to cut from the film the expensively shot final sequence of Neff's execution.
