From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Edmund Gwenn (born Edmund John Kellaway, 26 September 1877– 6 September 1959) was an English actor. On film, he is perhaps best remembered for his role as Kris Kringle in the Christmas film Miracle on 34th Street (1947), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and the corresponding Golden Globe Award. He received a second Golden Globe and another Academy Award nomination for the comedy film Mister 880 (1950). He is also remembered for being in four films directed by Alfred Hitchcock. As a stage actor in the West End and on Broadway, Gwenn was associated with a wide range of works by modern playwrights, including Bernard Shaw, John Galsworthy and J. B. Priestley. After the Second World War, he lived in the United States, where he had a successful career in Hollywood and on Broadway.

Film7.0KomediGizemThe Trouble With Harry herkesin kurtulmak isteyip de başaramadığı bir cesedin etrafında döner: birçok Hitchcock filmi gibi… Ama bu kez fark filmin tonunun tümüyle komedi olmasıdır. Sakin taşra kasabasının birbirinden eksantrik kahramanları, bir türlü gömüldüğü yerde kalamayan Harry’nin cesedini oradan oraya taşıyıp dururlar. Hitchcock bu ölüm soslu komedide, sinemasının iki temel unsuru olan korku/gerilim ve komediyi eşsiz bir uyuma kavuşturur. Ve onca başarılı ve usta karakter oyuncusu arasından sivrilen Shirley MacLaine’i de keşfedip ilk kez sinemaya kazandırmış olmanın onurunu taşır.

İlk başta kendisine gösterdiği ilgisizliğin intikamını tatlı bir şekilde aldıktan sonra.

Dizi5.3DramMatinee Theater is an American anthology series that aired on NBC during the Golden Age of Television, from 1955 to 1958. The series, which ran daily in the afternoon, was frequently live. It was produced by Albert McCleery, Darrell Ross, George Cahan and Frank Price with executive producer George Lowther. McCleery had previously produced the live series Cameo Theatre which introduced to television the concept of theater-in-the-round, TV plays staged with minimal sets. Jim Buckley of the Pewter Plough Playhouse recalled: When Al McCleery got back to the States, he originated a most ambitious theatrical TV series for NBC called Matinee Theater: to televise five different stage plays per week live, airing around noon in order to promote color TV to the American housewife as she labored over her ironing. Al was the producer. He hired five directors and five art directors. Richard Bennett, one of our first early presidents of the Pewter Plough Corporation, was one of the directors and I was one of the art directors and, as soon as we were through televising one play, we had lunch and then met to plan next week’s show. That was over 50 years ago, and I’m trying to think; I believe the TV art director is his own set decorator —yes, of course! It had to be, since one of McCleery’s chief claims to favor with the producers was his elimination of the setting per se and simply decorating the scene with a minimum of props. It took a bit of ingenuity.
