Baby Doll (1956): Elia Kazan Does Southern Comedy
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 24, 2019
Elia Kazan had a fairly lucrative partnership with Tennessee Williams and the same could be said of his ongoing working relationship with Karl Malden. It’s fitting that all three are back for Baby Doll and yet it still manages to feel like a bit of an outlier in Kazan’s oeuvre thus far. read more
On the Waterfront (1954, Elia Kazan)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 3, 2015
On the Waterfront is relentlessly grim until the strangest moment in the finale. As the film finally reaches the point of savage, physical violence–it opens with the implication, but not the visualization of such violence–a supporting character (familiar but mostly background) makes a w read more

Elia Kazan on Franchot Tone
Finding Franchot: Exploring the Life and Career of Franchot Tone Posted by Franchot Tone Fan on May 1, 2015
In his autobiography, Elia Kazan says much about Franchot Tone in his chapter on the Group Theater. Because there are a lot of great quotations, there will be more Kazan posts in the future.
In the midst of Franchot's decision to leave the Group Theater for Hollywood, Elia Kazan captured in a lette read more
Wild River (1960, Elia Kazan)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 8, 2015
Director Kazan opens Wild River with newsreel footage of the Tennessee River at flood. The film is set in the 1930s, something else the newsreel footage establishes. Kazan and screenwriter Paul Osborn spend the least amount of time possible setting up the film. The newsreel takes care of setting, w read more
Boomerang! (1947, Elia Kazan)
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 1, 2013
Boomerang! is a mess. The first half of the film is a misfired docudrama, the second half (or so) is a fantastic courtroom drama. Richard Murphy’s script is such a plotting disaster not even beautifully written scenes and wonderful performances can make up for its problems. And director Kazan read more
