Navigating the current film business is more difficult than ever before. Rapidly changing technology and an overcrowded marketplace have led to an industry in which anyone can now make a film, but few can make a living.

Following five years in the life and career of independent filmmaker Justin McConnell (Lifechanger), this documentary explores the struggles of financing, attracting the right talent, working with practical effects and selling the finished product in the hope of turning a profit.

A warts-and-all exploration of what it takes to get a film made and released, Clapboard Jungle serves as a survival guide for the modern independent filmmaker and offers a fascinating insight into a side of the industry with which few are likely to be familiar.

Writer, director, producer and actor Jules Dassin was one of Hollywood's most remarkable talents. Between 1947 and 1955 he directed a string of stylish, gritty, and hard-hitting Film Noir classics including Thieves Highway and Night And The City. Blacklisted in the communist witch hunts of the House Un-American Activities, he would continue that run with Rififi, directed in France. Each film is a diamond hard classic, weathering the test of time with sharp edges intact.

Tales from The Urban Jungle brings together the two films which started that extraordinary streak of hits. In Brute Force, Burt Lancaster is Joe Collins, one of a number of convicts squeezed into cell R17 and intent on breaking out. Desperate to return to his cancer-ridden wife (Ann Blyth), and to escape the clutches of sadistic warden Captain Munsey (an unforgettable performance from Hume Cronyn) who enjoys a reign of terror over the inmates.

Meanwhile, in The Naked City, a blonde ex-model is murdered in her bathtub and detectives Muldoon (Barry Fitzgerald) and Halloran (Don Taylor) are assigned to the case. Their investigation leads them all over New York City, from Park Avenue to the Lower East Side, reaching its thrilling climax atop the Williamsburg Bridge. Inspired by the work of infamous tabloid photographer Weegee, The Naked City was the first major Hollywood production to be shot entirely on the streets of New York, making use of more than a hundred authentic locations. Both films feature stark cinematography and taut writing to land an incredible one-two punch that remains impactful to this day.

Under Walt Disney, feature animation tended to pull from one of three sources: centuries-old fairy tales (Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty), small stories that otherwise would have gone largely unnoticed (Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp), and literature old and revered enough to be considered classics. The lattermost group consisted primarily of English works published in the 19th century or early 1900s. The class produced films like Alice in Wonderland, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, and <b>The Jungle Book</b>.Released to theaters in the fall of 1967, The Jungle Book was the Disney studio's first major release following Walt's December 1966 death and is regarded the last animated film to strongly bear his creative imprint. Not as strongly as the earliest animated features, which at the time were all that occupied Walt. By the 1960s, a film like The Jungle Book had to compete with live-action films, the weekly anthology television series, and the always evolving theme park for Walt's attentions.Still, animation was a cornerstone of the company and of Walt's entertainment empire. Each effort took several years to develop and realize. They would typically then proceed to gross more than a number of quickly and inexpensively-produced live-action films put together. Today, Disney and the general public seem to have forgotten the vast majority of these live-action productions, even those quite successful in their day, like That Darn Cat!, Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N. and The Absent-Minded Professor. Meanwhile, The Jungle Book, embraced by generations of children via theatrical reissues and home video, reaches Blu-ray tomorrow to considerable fanfare and sales numbers that new blockbusters would envy.Adapted from two 1890s collections of stories by Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book tells the story of "man cub" Mowgli and the animals of the Indian jungle who look after him. The wolf pack that raised Mowgli decides to let him go his own way. The sympathetic panther Bagheera takes the boy away and offers him safety from less noble creatures, like the hypnotic snake Kaa.The biggest source of danger to Mowgli is Shere Khan, a tiger who hates mankind and will not stand to let the harmless youth grow into a feared hunter. Bagheera's pal, the bear Baloo, also takes a turn watching Mowgli, giving serious thought to adopting him as his son and raising him as a bear. But that's not to be, with Shere Khan returning and other threats like fire-obsessed orangutan King Louie looming.In stature, The Jungle Book ranks among Disney's most respected animated films, just below Walt's sacrosanct first five films and, with a few exceptions, above everything else. Not until the Renaissance that The Little Mermaid is credited with starting at the end of 1980s did any of the division's films produce as much passion. Though such films from the Michael Eisner era are now a great deal more popular, The Jungle Book still numbers among them, its position among the studio's crown jewels never in doubt even back when the Platinum Edition line was reserved for just ten bestsellers. The Jungle Book is a film of significant artistic and entertainment value. For children of the '60s and '70s, there was no other animated film as widely seen. For that matter, few live-action films had the kind of impact of The Jungle Book, whose reported original gross of $74 million (the equivalent of a staggering $469 million today) towers over other '60s hits that won their years, like Cleopatra, Lawrence of Arabia, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. The only other Disney film that decade more successful was Mary Poppins.Reflecting its source material, Jungle Book is a highly episodic film, but that design does nothing to hinder its greatness. The colorful cast is one of Disney's deepest and most diverse. Instead of just different kinds of dogs and cats, we get an assortment of personalities of all shapes, sizes, and moral codes. There are Beatle-like vultures and elephants who march like soldiers. Their bold contrasts in hue, movement and motivation add up to an atmosphere that's rich and unpredictable. Rather than just one larger than life villain, there are different levels of antagonism, some of them downright ambiguous.As in the best of Disney animated features, there's also great music, including a couple of cinema's all-time finest songs. Most of the tunes are the work of brothers Richard and Robert Sherman, who had already cemented their place in cinema history on Mary Poppins, the most extensive of their many contributions to Disney's films. Arguably the best number and the one nominated for the Academy Award is the only one the Shermans didn't write. Though dancing around an obvious play on words, "The Bare Necessities" by folk singer and lyricist Terry Gilkyson endures as the film's comforting anthem. As catchy is King Louie's "I Wan'na Be Like You", a lively number allowing voice actors Louis Prima (King Louie) and Phil Harris (Baloo) to engage in a scat-off for the ages.One of nine Limited Issue titles with which Disney jumped half-heartedly into DVD in the fall of 1999, The Jungle Book had to wait all the way until October 2007 to get a two-disc DVD worthy of it. Though Disney had already begun pushing Blu-ray then, the format has eluded Jungle Book until now, as it hits stores tomorrow in a <b>Diamond Edition</b> consisting of one Blu-ray and one DVD. That this release occurs in February and not the more heavily-advertised, robust-selling early October slot suggests that the film is no longer as marketable as Disney's biggest princess movies or The Lion King. Still, it's clearly a bigger draw than most of the studio's animal-driven films and its Diamond Edition designation thankfully ensures you needn't buy its subpar sequel (which is getting its own Blu-ray combo pack next month) to own this classic.NOTE: The presentation of both the Blu-ray and new DVD attaches a new 21st century computer-animated Disney logo to the film... but only its end. The opening logo is the original Buena Vista distribution card. e24fc04721
