I am a regular visitor to the website titled Nonagenarians and Centenarians (genarians.com). It contains the names of famous people of all walks of life who are over the age of 90. Outside of the usual legends, there are names of lesser-known film people that are missing from the website and rather than pester the webmaster to constantly update the site, I'd like to set up the list of people who I feel are integral in the world of film and entertainment in general born up to 1935, as the 1936 page is still underway.

With the current Oscar season in full swing, I thought I would go back to last year's awards cycle to a film favorite that should have gotten more award wins. Coralie Fargeat's breakthrough horror masterpiece "The Substance", pushes the boundaries and raises the bar on how a horror film should interact with the audience and culminates in a career best performance for Demi Moore that wound up getting robbed of a Best Actress win.

Moore plays Elisabeth, an aging movie star with a long running aerobics program. When she is fired by the show's smug producer Harvey (Dennis Quaid), Elisabeth finds herself in a car accident. It is while recuperating in the hospital that she receives an advertisement for a black market drug nicknamed "The Substance" which can create a younger version of herself. Elisabeth takes the serum, is incapacitated and her young self Sue (Margaret Qualley) emerges from her body. The catch is that Elisabeth and Sue must operate on alternating weeks. Elisabeth takes the drug, zones out and Sue takes her place. Then Sue takes the drug, zones out herself and Elisabeth comes out of her week long coma. But the greed of endless beauty and attention gets to both Elisabeth and Sue's heads and they start to overdose on the drug, with disastrous consequences.

"The Substance" is probably the most original horror film, if not the most original story in any genre in many years. Director and writer Fargeat takes what could have been a cliched story about overcoming aging in the world of entertainment, and inverts the scenario into a horror induced bent. Think of it as a mix between "All About Eve" and "Jekyll & Hyde", with a dash of Shakespearean tragedy and Aesopian morality. But it does not seem like a rip off of these tales because it goes the extra mile to create original characters that may have the typical motives of fame and transformation but results that have never been thought up before nor will ever be bested in the years to come.

Without giving too much away, the final sequence of "The Substance is the clincher as to the limits a screenplay can have to show far its characters can go for their pursuits. Slowly but surely, we see a point of no return that is as scary as Regan McNeil's turning head and pea soup vomit, as unexpected as the titular Alien coming out of Kane's stomach and as mesmerizing as the birth of Frankenstein's Monster, until the final scene where the mood shifts to melancholy and bittersweet serenity.

For the longest time, I was not the biggest Demi Moore fan, in fact I found her acting in films like "The Scarlet Letter" lethargic and listless and other films like "Ghost" good but not outstanding. All that changed when I finally saw "The Substance" and I saw a performance that had been waiting in the wings for almost 40 years to make its mark. I realized that Demi Moore was a great actress who gave mediocre performances because the studios saw her more as a sex symbol and less as a serious actress. Moore simply leaves you hypnotized in her physical and mental body language, all held back from prior performances that could have made her viewed in a serious light. Demi Moore proved that in 2024 that one can start all over again and reinvent how they tackle a role with heart, body and soul.

Margaret Qualley also shows herself as a great actress in a different style and attitude than of her famous mother Andie McDowell. Qualley's Sue is a mini Demi in appearance, but different in subtle personality. While her being nominated for an Oscar was a long shot, I definitely see Qualley as a future nominee and her performance in "The Substance" sets the precedent. Dennis Quaid's Harvey is the typical slimy Hollywood producer and he is deliciously evil. Quaid plays his role like a Batman villain, dressed in exaggerated colors and speaking in a cocky tone, providing a comedic tone to an otherwise dreary mood.

"The Substance" received 5 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, Actress for Moore and a well deserved win for Best Makeup, which plays a key role in the later scenes. As stated before, Demi Moore was robbed of a Best Actress win because no matter what other films you've seen from that Oscars ceremony, no performance will come close. Having seen clips of Mikey Madison in "Anora", which was the eventual winner, it seems that Madison's performance is more centered on her thick Brooklyn accent and less focused on body language. Will Demi Moore finally win an Oscar somewhere down the line? If she does, the performance will probably not be in the same league as "The Substance", then again, not many performances will.

Five years ago, I had purchased a ticket to see the great French director Claude Lelouch speak in a post-screening Q&A of his 1966 magnum opus “A Man and a Woman” at the Film Forum in Manhattan. There was just one problem; the entire world was being hit by the COVID pandemic. Lelouch was forced to cancel his appearance, but the screening went on as planned. Imagine my shock and surprise when I read that Lelouch was making his long overdue rain check appearance with the same planned program at the same venue as before. It only took one minute for me to purchase my ticket a second time and here’s the rundown of both the film and the Q&A session from yesterday (4/5/2025) that followed.

Jean-Louis Trintignant and Anouk Aimee play Jean-Louis and Anne, two widowers who meet when they drop their kids off at the same boarding school. The two become very close to one another and even their kids bond in the process. Unfortunately, both of them are still haunted by their pasts and tread very carefully in how they proceed with their whirlwind romance.

You might be asking yourself, why the short synopsis? Because "A Man and a Woman" is the most unconventional romantic film ever made; one where the genre itself may not even apply because the romance element is actually secondary to the plot, which is at best minimalist. And yet, it is one of the greatest love stories ever put to film. We get to understand both Jean-Louis and Anne's pain of losing a loved one, but not emphasized through schmaltzy monologues, but rather simply told flashbacks that explain everything. We also get to see both protagonists at their day jobs; Jean-Louis as a race car driver, Anne as a script girl on film shoots and how both their occupations played a role in why they are widowed. So to answer the question "A Man and a Woman" is not about the romance itself, but the individual lives of both participants, hence the title of the film.

The genesis of how "A Man and a Woman" all came from one shot; a woman with her child and their dog walking on the beach early in the morning, identical to the first scene in the film. During the Q&A, Lelouch brought the audience back to 1965 when he was a struggling filmmaker with a string of flops behind him. Heavily in debt and at risk of becoming another failed auteur, he walked to the local shoreline for inspiration and that scene was staring him in the face. Then Lelouch took the train and once the trip was finished, the idea for "A Man and a Woman" was born. The idea was to cast two actors who would be seen as regular folks and not movie stars, which meant that the original choices to play Jean-Louis and Anne; Alain Delon and Romy Schneider, were put aside. As great as Delon and Schneider were as actors, they would have been all wrong for the main roles. Trintignant and Aimee emulated the sufferings of widowhood just with the expressions on their faces that are not hackneyed, melodramatic or movie star looking. The reason why Anouk Aimee was such a favorite during the awards season was how she was able to convey just about every emotion not just on her face, but her entire body, and not even speak for key parts of the film. Had it not been for the amazing performance of Elizabeth Taylor in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" that won Best Actress for 1966, Aimee might have been the winner, and rightfully so.

Not only is "A Man and a Woman" an unconventional romantic film, it is also a music video precursor, children's entertainment and sports documentary all rolled into one and perfect in each area. Pierre Barouh who played Anne's husband in flashbacks sings a Samba song as a backdrop to their marriage. Lelouch mentioned how Barouh, a songwriter and the film's composer Francis Lai were dear friends and collaborators whose working relationship spanned over 30 films and how they shaped Lelouch as the legend he is today. Next were the children playing Jean Louis' son Antoine and Anne's daughter Francoise. Lelouch told the kids to lead the conversations that they were in and have Trintignant and Aimee just react. The scene with the four characters in the restaurant is one of the most organically created moments in the film where it seems that none of them are playing fictional people. Finally, the scenes of Jean-Louis on the racetrack give us a first hand look of auto racing that a documentarian might have captured. Lelouch as cinematographer, but also Michel Fano and Jean Barronet's impeccable sound design are able to transport the audience to the venue with revving engines and loud crashes.

"A Man and a Woman" was a huge hit in America playing for 1-2 year stretches in New York and Los Angeles which helped it become a favorite in the Oscar and Golden Globe races. Lelouch would win the Oscar Best Screenplay along with his co-writer Pierre Uytterhoeven, which the moral of that story is to win that award is not have a screenplay period. It also won the Oscar and Golden Globes for Best Foreign Film and Anouk Aimee would win the Golden Globe and BAFTA awards for Best Actress and receive her only Oscar nomination in the same category. The biggest award it received was the Palme D'or at the Cannes Film Festival. For a DIY film with a shoestring budget and a small cast and crew, "A Man and a Woman" has become a moment in the history of cinema that is not merely a footnote, but a cultural phenomenon that is still beloved after nearly 60 years.

"Let Him Have It". Four simple words, but put in different contexts can mean completely different actions and motivations. Does it mean, take the officer out or give the gun to the officer? That would be the statement that could make or break the freedom and life of a mentally deficient 19 year old on trial for the murder of a cop. Peter Medak's 1991 film with the very appropriate title of "Let Him Have It" chronicles one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in the English legal system and the weight that those four words have in the study of law and jurisprudence to this very day.

In 1953 England, 19 year old Derek Bentley (Christopher Eccleston) lives with his very supportive family that includes his parents William and Lillian (Tom Courtenay and Eileen Atkins) and sister Iris (Clare Holman). Derek has a history of petty crime which is caused by him being taken advantage of by local criminals. After being expelled from an Approved School, Derek is lonely and secludes himself from the outside world. That all changes when he crosses paths with the teenaged but more dominant Christopher Craig (Paul Reynolds). Christopher comes from a broken home that consists of a criminal older brother Nevin (Mark McGann). When Nevin is sent to prison for robbery, Christopher develops a hatred for all authority. That hatred culminates one night when Derek and Christopher break into private property and are confronted by police. Christopher kills one cop and wounds another while Derek utters the four words that becomes the center of the entire trial and sad aftermath.

"Let Him Have It" is a film where the viewer already knows the ending before the opening credits have rolled if they did research on the case before. Derek Bentley would be found guilty of murder, despite not being the one who fired the fatal shot, and would be sentenced to death by hanging. Christopher Craig, who was the actual murderer, was only 16 and therefore ineligible for the death penalty, instead receiving an indeterminate sentence. Craig was released after 10 years inside and by all accounts has since become a productive member of society. Bentley would sadly not live into old age and would die by hanging despite a huge campaign to free him.

Peter Medak's recreation of the era in which this crime occurred is impeccable. Everything from the working class atmosphere, to the organized crime underworlds and especially the rigidness of the Old Bailey courthouse. It's the latter of these three characteristics that is the most impressive. All the trial scenes are played straight, without the forced language or histrionics that one might find in a primetime show on one of the major networks. The performance by Michael Gough as the judge is one of natural authority, whose strict demeanor invokes tension one can cut with a knife. It's the smaller details like that which only heightens why "Let Him Have It" is a cut above the rest

Christopher Eccleston gives a breathtaking performance as Derek Bentley, completely filled with pathos and hubris. He does not ham up his character and finds the right underplayed tone. Tom Courtenay as William Bentley also finds that same tone to play a parent who is controlled and headstrong, while Eileen Atkins is the right counterpart as the more emotive parent. Clare Holman as Iris is a great combination of her parent's traits as she is the glue that holds the family together. The last scene when they huddle together and cry as the clock strikes to the minute of their son's execution is hauntingly scary and gives you goosebumps. Paul Reynolds as Christopher Craig is a standout and a once in a blue moon performance that hits all the right notes. He's a hoodlum that acts tough and fearless, but deep down is still a child with insecurities. To play those two types of people simultaneously is something that is underused in today's films. It's one of those performances that stays with you long after the film ends and especially one that the Academy Awards should have taken notice of at the time. It's a shame that he didn't become a bigger name in films and television like Eccleston, but he at least makes his mark in a great way.

"Let Him Have It" premiered at the 1991 Toronto Film Festival, the stepping stone of the Academy Awards season and unfortunately, that's as far as it got. My guess is that it was not promoted well like Medak's previous hit "The Krays" and possibly, audiences saw it as a carbon copy of that film. Awards aside, the best thing this film could have done was drum up more interest in the Derek Bentley case. The epilogue mentions how the fight to clear Derek's name was spearheaded by his parents until their deaths in the 1970s, in which Iris later took the reins. Her persistence paid off, albeit after her death, because in 1998, 45 years after his execution, the courts overturned Bentley's conviction, giving him the vindication that he should have gotten when he was alive. "Let Him Have It", is one the best true crime films about a miscarriage of justice and while it leave you angry that such damage could have been done, acknowledging these wrongs years later is better than sweeping it under the rug.

With the recent death of Dame Maggie Smith, I thought I'd detail the legendary actors of UK cinema and television that are still living.
