Ski Films
Skiing in movies, like the sport itself, grew more prevalent beginning in the 1930s, when it was a pastime of the elite, with depictions reflecting changes in technique, fashion and social climate. World War II saw skiing featured in a dozen films dealing with that conflict. Fueled by postwar prosperity, the sport exploded in the 1950s--filmmakers followed suit, using scenes on snow-covered slopes for panoramic beauty and the thrill of the chase. Through the free-spirited 1960s and 1970s, the downhill lifestyle shussed into everything from spy thrillers to beach party romps. The extreme sports era of the 1980s and 1990s brought snowboarding to the big screen. This first ever critical history of skiing in film chronicles a century of alpine cinema, with production information and stories and quotes from directors, actors and stuntmen.
Storm in the Rear-View
When writing this book, I assumed that the reader would have already read my first offering, “The Calm Before STORM” which dealt with travels during the first year of our retirement, 2006. If you have not, I suggest you do. Why? Simply, it’s a darn good read. Honestly though, you need not have read “Calm” before this one. “STORM in the Rear-view” will make perfect sense regardless, as I detail our further adventures in the two following years, during which, unknowingly, the GFC and the STORM Financial catastrophe were bearing down upon us. I will take you on a caravan journey right around our beautiful continent of Australia, and our off-shore state, Tasmania, come with us to Johannesburg, South Africa for the birth of our Grandson, climb Mt Kilimanjaro, drive through the Eastern bloc countries of Europe, visit Turkey and Vietnam, along the way catching numerous events of the world’s greatest motor sport, Speedway. You’ll be exhausted but the journey will be well worthwhile. Let’s go!
