Art Smith
Oyuncu · 1899 – 1973 · Chicago, Illinois, USA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Arthur Gordon "Art" Smith (March 23, 1899 – February 24, 1973) was an American film, stage and television actor, best known for playing supporting roles in the 1940s. Born in Chicago, he was a member of the Group Theatre and performed in many of their productions, including Rocket to the Moon, Awake and Sing!, Golden Boy and Waiting for Lefty, all by Clifford Odets; House of Connelly by Paul Green; and Sidney Kingsley's Men in White. The gray-haired actor usually played studious and dignified types in films, such as doctors or butlers. Smith appeared in many black-and-white noirish films in supporting roles alongside more handsome and popular movie leads, such as John Garfield in Body and Soul (1947) and Humphrey Bogart in In a Lonely Place (1950). He had a key role as a federal agent in 1947's Ride the Pink Horse, starring and directed by Robert Montgomery. Two of these films, In a Lonely Place and Ride a Pink Horse, were based on novels by Dorothy B. Hughes. Smith was one of the victims of the Hollywood blacklist, which ended most of his film career in 1952. In 1957, he originated the role of Doc in the stage version of West Side Story. Smith only returned occasionally to the film business, for example in an uncredited part in The Hustler. He also worked on television before retiring in 1967. He died, aged 73, in Long Island, New York, from a heart attack.

Film7.6GerilimDramSaldırgan mizaçlı senaryo yazarı Dix Steele (Bogart), bir cinayetten sorumlu tutulur ama yan komşusu Laurel Gray (Grahame), suç işlendiği sırada onun orada bulunmadığına dair tanıklık eder. Bu durum ikisi arasında tutkulu bir ilişkinin başlamasına yol açar; ne var ki Laurel, Dix’in vahşi yanıyla karşılaşınca çok korkar ve cinayeti gerçekten onun işleyip işlemediği noktasında şüpheye düşer. Bogart, yıllar boyunca romantik sert adamları canlandırdıktan sonra, bu filmde kendi beyazperde kişiliğinin daha derinlerine iner ve Sam Spade’e ya da Rick Blaine’e yakışmayacak bir nevrotik keskinlik sergiler.

Dizi6.0Bilim Kurgu ve FantastikSuçLights Out was an extremely popular American old-time radio program, an early example of a network series devoted mostly to horror and the supernatural, predating Suspense and Inner Sanctum. Versions of Lights Out aired on different networks, at various times, from January 1934 to the summer of 1947 and the series eventually made the transition to television. In 1946, NBC Television brought Lights Out to TV in a series of four specials, broadcast live and produced by Fred Coe, who also contributed three of the scripts. NBC asked Cooper to write the script for the premiere, "First Person Singular", which is told entirely from the point of view of an unseen murderer who kills his obnoxious wife and winds up being executed. Variety gave this first episode a rave review ("undoubtedly one of the best dramatic shows yet seen on a television screen"), but Lights Out did not become a regular NBC-TV series until 1949.
