@CineLabHQ What's the name of this film?
Is it Eva Green doing the English narration.

@FilmFan1971 Oh this sounds interesting.
I wonder if @jpflondon might put on a screening of this in the near future.

When Michael Mann finished his final cut of Heat, it was 2 hours and 45 minutes long — almost unheard of for a contemporary crime drama. When he turned it in to Warner Bros, the executives had already decided it was too long before they even saw it. Mann explains:

“In terms of length, I had a really interesting encounter with Bob Daly and Terry Semel at Warner Brothers when I made the picture. They told me afterwards they flipped a coin to decide who would have to tell me to cut 45 minutes out of the film — this was before they had even seen it.

Then we all went to the big screening at Warner Brothers, and afterwards they stood up and said, ‘Well, I guess we have a two‑hour‑and‑45‑minute movie.’”

Oh @ParamountUK.

A man invented a $2.5 MILLION crime spree, sold it to Hollywood and charged $30,000 per speech to explain how he did it. It was all lies.

> Frank Abagnale claimed he spent 5 years as a teenage fugitive.

> Impersonating a Pan Am pilot, a Harvard trained doctor and a Louisiana attorney general while forging $2.5 MILLION in bad checks across 26 countries.

> Steven Spielberg turned it into a 2002 blockbuster starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.

> It became one of the highest grossing films of that year.

> Broadway turned it into a musical.

> The FBI hired him as a consultant.

> AARP named him their official Fraud Watch Ambassador.

> He charged between $20,000 and $30,000 per speaking engagement for decades telling audiences how he pulled it all off.

> For 40 years nobody seriously questioned any of it.

> Then in 2020 a journalist named Alan Logan spent three years pulling every public record prison document newspaper archive and court file he could find.

> Pan Am's own security department told a journalist as early as 1978 "This never happened. You don't forget $2.5 MILLION in bad checks."

> Prison records showed Abagnale was behind bars for most of the years he claimed to be a fugitive.

> The Georgia hospital had no record of him.

> The Louisiana attorney general's office had no record of him.

> His only confirmed crime was check fraud totalling less than $1,500.

> Logan's conclusion the entire story was not embellished but fabricated.

> Abagnale had not committed the con by impersonating pilots and doctors.

> He committed it by convincing Hollywood, the FBI and the entire world that he had.

The most valuable skill Frank Abagnale ever had was the ability to make people so entertained by a story that they forgot to verify it. That skill made him MILLIONS legally.

@linkuptv @ronkelawal Having originally shelved the films release for 2 years.
Rather ironic that the BFI gave the film its first UK wide cinema release in November 2023 in celebration of 50th anniversary.
Sadly the films director Horace Ove died n Sep 23, 2023.
Watch it on #BFIPlayer or #amazonprime

@FilmFan1971 @sitgesfestival Any word on a UK outing.

It would possibly make for a great double bill at @ChiswickCinema w/ 60th anniversary screening of the Russ Meyer classic, Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill.
