Take One

Take One (1966-79) was a Montréal-based film magazine offering criticism and news about international, Canadian, and Hollywood cinema. Founded by Peter Lebensold, Adam Symansky, and John Roston—alumni of the McGill Film Society—its creation coincided with the burgeoning Canadian film industry, which Take One placed in global context. Articles included essays by filmmakers themselves, such as Brian DePalma and Richard Dreyfuss. The magazine concluded its run in 1979 after publishing 81 issues, but remained sufficiently influential that a 1992 Toronto-based magazine took the same title in homage to the original.

George, for many years a film director, with an Academy Award for one of his documentaries, is a book reviewer for several film magazines, and, during WWII, was Production Manager at the National Film Board until he reorganized production and abolished his function. He then became a director for the Word in Action unit. What really happened? 50 In 1921 Roscoe ‘‘Fatty’’ Arbuckle, was Hollywood’s top comedian, rivalled only by Charlie Chaplin. But as Buster Keaton put it, “One day all of the laughter stopped:’ Banner headlines proclaimed Arbuckle a monster who had raped a 27-year-old actress, and killed her. Using exclusive interviews, grand jury transcripts and material thought destroyed long ago, film writer David Yallop recreates the most sensational and outrageous courtroom trial ever to come out of Hollywood— on film or in real life. For seven long months, lying witnesses, an ambitious D.A. anda hungry press kept Arbuckle fighting for his career in Hollywood and his life in the courts.
