THE BONNIE PARKER STORY (1958)

            The Bonnie Parker Story is a true-crime film directed by William Witney and starring Dorothy Provine as Bonnie Parker. The film is based on the life of Bonnie Parker, however, the film is only partially true. Even though Bonnie Parker was her real name, the film makers changed the name of Clyde Barrow to Guy Darrow (played by Jack Hogan). Quentin Tarantino considered William Witney to be a ‘lost master’, and said about the film, ‘I was blown away. It was like, whoa, who made this? I have to see everything he ever did.’

            Bonnie Parker is one half of Bonnie and Clyde, who travelled around America with their gang during the Great Depression. They were known for bank robberies as well as murders (they allegedly had murdered at least nine police officers and four members of the public). They became well known criminals during 1931-1934 and gained much media attention. They were ambused by police and shot to death in Bienville Parish, Louisiana in 1934.

Two or Three Things about “I Escaped From Devil Island”

-/-////—-

Everything odd that seems like it could fill up a whole film gets regulated to five minutes.

Here comes a mysterious leper colony that looks positively medieval. See ya!

The lead kills a South American tribesman...whose wife then demands he be her man. Bye-bye!

A sissy tries to get good at pick pocketing again. And now he’s dead!

-/-/-//-/-

The most randomly violent shark attack ever. Normally a guy looks pained with his waist below water. Here blood flows immediately like out of a Italian zombie film. Chuncks of flesh follow.

-/—//////——-

In general the film moves at a brisk pace, then the final twenty minutes seem to last forty. It definitely has the most impressive production however.

William Hurt's Stunt Double Saved Charlie Cox From Drowning On The Set Of Moby Dick

By Witney Seibold  Dec.12, 2022 (X)

In Herman Melville's original 1851 novel "Moby-Dick," not much was known about the vengeful Capt. Ahab beyond his obsession with finding the story's titular whale. In Mike Barker's 2011 miniseries, Ahab (William Hurt) interacts with his on-screen wife Elizabeth (Gillian Anderson). Ethan Hawke plays Starbuck, Raoul Trujillo plays Queequeg, and Charlie Cox plays the stalwart narrator Ishmael. Cox has recently been getting a great deal of attention from Marvel fans for his performance as the superhero Daredevil in his own show, and for guest spots on "She Hulk: Attorney at Law" and in "Spider-Man: No Way Home." This author first noticed Cox for his performance as Lorenzo in Michael Radford's 2004 adaptation of "The Merchant of Venice." His appearance in "Moby Dick" would immediately be followed by 23 episode of the hit show "Boardwalk Empire," putting the actor on the map.

Filming on "Moby Dick" took place in Malta in 2009. As its story demands, the miniseries features many scenes at sea. There are many moments when multiple characters are gathered in small rowboats. Then — again, as the story demands — many characters are thrown out of said rowboats and into the ocean. In the December 2022 issue of Total Film Magazine, Cox was interviewed about his worst on-screen experience, and he revealed that filming "Moby Dick" included a moment that might have killed him. Those cursed rowboats, it seems, almost offered Cox the same fate as many members of the Pequod.

Luckily, William Hurt's unnamed stunt double — unnamed, but most likely uncredited industry veteran Tomas Ereminas — was there to rescue Cox.

Thwarting death

Charlie Cox was lucky when the day came to shoot the rowboat scene. William Hurt, it seems, did not want to get into the rowboat with his co-stars. Cox cited Hurt's age at the reason for refusing — Hurt was 61 at the time — although it could be just as likely that the star sensed danger that day. Or he simply wasn't in the mood. Regardless, one of Hurt's stunt doubles stepped in. When asked what his worst day of shooting was, Cox recalled:

"I had a stunt go wrong on the TV show 'Moby Dick.' Nobody's fault. I was meant to be on the rowboat with William Hurt but he had said he didn't want to do it. In his place was a stunt double. Anyway, we got pulled, the boat flipped, and my leg was stuck underneath one of the benches. This stunt guy got me out. With all due respect to the late, great Bill Hurt, being the age he was and not being a stuntman, I don't think he would have thought to do that. So this stunt guy potentially saved my life."

The benches Cox referred to are called, in nautical lingo, thwarts. They are ordinarily removable, but in this case, seemed to be locked firm.

The 2011 "Moby Dick" miniseries aired on August 1 and 2 of that same year, and was met with positive reviews, despite its notable changes to the novel's story. Herman Melville's novel, incidentally, has been adapted to film and TV multiple times since its first cinematic iteration in 1926. The 2011 version was the most recent direct filmed adaptation, but both the 2014 miniseries "The Whale" and Ron Howard's 2015 film "In the Heart of the Sea" adapted real-life events that served as inspiration for "Moby-Dick."
