La traviata

2005
Movie

La Traviata stands or falls on its lead singers and in Norah Amsellem and Rolando Villazon this 2005 Salzburg Festival performance has a pair whose electric interactions and brilliant singing are irresistible. If Amsellem cant quite provide the vocal bloom of the great Violettas of the past, hers is a lovely voice used with intelligence and dramatic intensity and she has the coloratura chops to deliver her Act I showpieces with flair. Villazons tenor has ping on top, terrific color, and an impressive range of rubato, dynamic shadings, and interesting phrasing that makes Alfredos music sound newly minted. The Germont is Thomas Hampson, no Verdi baritone but an astute singer and actor. Chorus and smaller roles are fine, the orchestra first-rate. Carlo Rizzi has odd notions about the music (usually too fast, sometimes way too slow) but this Traviata triumphs despite his conducting.
The Durango Kid

Movie

The first film in which Charles Starrett played an alter-ego character known as \The Durango Kid\ but this entry, for all intents and purposes, has only the names of Starrett and \Durango\ in common with the long (long, long) \Durango Kid\ series Starrett starred in from late-1944, beginning with \The Return of the Durango Kid\ until 1952. Rancher Sam Lowry is killed by Mace Ballard because he learned that Ballards men are waging war against the homesteaders. Ballard blames the killing on \The Durango Kid\, a a mysterious frontier Robin Hood friendly to the homesteaders. This accusation makes Bill Lowry more than a little suspicious of Ballard for, unknown to anyone, he is the Durango Kid, a role he has assumed in order to fight against the Ballard gang. When Ballards men raid the Ben Winslow homestead, they are driven off by Bill and his ranch hands but not before the home is burned and the cattle scattered. Taking a shine to Winslows daughter, Nancy, Bill masks himself as \Durango\, strips Ballard of all his cash and gives it to the homesteaders. Ballard has U. S. Marshal Trayboe post a reward for \Durango\, and Trayboe, wiser than Ballard gives him credit for, makes Bill a deputy charged with bringing \Durango\ in. The Kid keeps taking money from Ballard and giving it to the homesteaders that have been burned out and hiding in Hidden Valley. Ballard kidnaps Nancy and sets a trap for Bill, whom he now suspects is \Durango\. But, with the help of Marshal Trayboe, Bill escapes and kills Ballard, who boasted in front of Bill that he has killed the elder Lowry, in a gunfight. Bill Lowry officially retires as \The Durango Kid\ and settles in on his fathers ranch with Nancy,
