Charles Bronson’s low -budget crime movie has turned into a star

Charles Bronson cannot happen today. Boroosnan was born in 1921, who was born to Lithuanian immigrants at the coal mine in Pennsylvania at the age of 12 to help maintain family income after his father’s death. It was a miserable presence. The great depression hit his family strongly. Meals can be rare and shelter appears to be at all threatened. Despite these difficulties, Bronson managed to graduate from high school and eventually left Appleshia to serve as an air artillery in the US Air Force during World War II.

After the war, Bronson moved to Hollywood and studied acting. At 5 ‘8’, it was not a strong presence, but there was an intensity wrapped in his early performance that should be rooted in his arduous childhood. Bronson felt the design, and the tender-and in many of its early roles, weakly vulnerable.

Bronson was not a style, but he took his craft seriously. He studied sign language to withdraw his performance as IGOR, deaf assistant at “House of WAX” for Vincent PRICE at “House of Wax”. It was an amazing careful work for a secondary character in the horror movie B, and the rising actor fell a series of roles that led to his distinguished performance.

It was not easy for someone to have difficult Visage, illegal to become a star in the fifties and sixties (perhaps more suitable for characters parts in Western TV program such as “Gunsmoke”) And it will be completely impossible today in the era of the superheroes we directed. In fact, Bronson fell his role in making the stars only because another actor left. It has succeeded for both men, because as much as I adore the actor who rejected the part, I think he was wrong like George Machine Gun “Kelly.

Roger Korman was just three years after his career in 1958, but significantly, he had already directed nearly 20 feature films. He worked quickly, cheap and delivered in general. The younger cinema pioneers have targeted the excessive B, which was wandering in tried and tried species such as Westerners and horror, and as it was particularly hot at the time, the dramatic works of the events. Therefore, when he decided to make “Kelly machine guns” (based on the exploits of the thief bullet born in Tennessee), he initially depicted Dick Miller in the deep role. When Miller refused, Korman turned into Bronson.

If you are considering that “Kelly machine guns” was zero floor in favor of the strong work of Bronson, which he got Long -term concession by filming Paul Kersi in the movie “Wish Wish” by Michael Winner (Although Kerey of First Movie is not the cold stone killer of sequences), you are wrong. Kelly of Corman is the cuckold that Lady Macbeth-Like Like Becker (Susan Kapot) is treated. Bronson is weak, angi, and in the end is compassionate. Korman said he wanted to make the movie because he loved the name (very marketable!) He was fascinated by how Kelly did not rise to his frightening title.

“Machine-Gun Kelly” succeeded in the United States, but it found a real critical good between the Cahiers du Cinéma collection. Although Corman filmed the film in just 10 days, it looks like a regular budget studio programmer and moves like a painted Lightning during its operation time for 80 minutes. It is my favorite movie Kormman in the 1950s, next to the “Blood Blood” that was celebrated The great Western “The Magnificent Seven”. If you grow up on the bronson movement without humor, give “Machine-Gun Kelly” a whirlpool. The man was a hell for an actor before he became a star of the huge movie.
