highly-successful docu-series Down to Earth on Netflix.

direct the film that is being adapted by writer Scott Teems (Halloween Kills,
Rectify), who will also executive produce.

Bruce Dern as famous artist Richard and Lena Olin as his wife Claire, in THE ARTIST’S WIFE. Courtesy of Strand Releasing.
Living in the shadow of a famous and talented spouse can be hard, particularly when one has to give up ambitions of their own ambitious. It is nearly always the wives who abandon their careers to focus on a famous husband’s work, particularly if it was in the same field. In THE ARTIST’S WIFE, Claire (Lena Olin) is long reconciled to dropping her own career as an artist to support the career of her famous, successful artist husband Richard (Bruce Dern). In fact, Claire thinks of Richard’s career as “their career” and Richard’s loving devotion to Claire, his younger second wife, reinforces her view that they are an artistic team. But when Richard receives a devastating medical diagnosis and the artist’s wife faces the prospect of life alone, Claire’s long-buried feelings about her abandoned artistic work resurface.
Artistic genius Richard had always been impulsive and hot-tempered but lately he seemed more erratic. Claire has chalked it up to heavy drinking but a lapse during a speech while accepting an award sends them to the doctor. The diagnosis of Alzheimer’s hit Claire like a brick wall, while Richard was barely affected, a not unusual response. After the doctor tells Claire, to not do this alone, she determines to reach out to Richard’s only child, a long-estranged daughter from his previous marriage. The daughter, Angela (Juliette Rylance), is decidedly cool to the idea.
Lena Olin’s Claire has been comfortable with her choice to focus on Richard’s work for so long, that it almost surprises her that the impulse to resume painting surfaces. Partly, it may also be an escape from facing the new reality of Richard’s illness but it also seems to be Claire contemplating a future life on her own.
Director Tom Dolby’s drama does not
really explore new ground in this familiar scenario, although the
film could have, particularly with such impressive lead actors in the
primary roles. There are some strong scenes between Olin and Dern,
which are among the best in the film, but the script seems clunky,
too familiar. and even less than believable in some moments.
It is not the clunky story that makes
this film worthwhile but the work of Lena Olin and Bruce Dern. Their
performances are fiery and leap off the screen, both together and on
their own. As the title suggests, the focus is on Olin’s character as
she struggles with news that will change to bedrock of her life, and
Olin delivers brilliantly. Dern’s quirky, egotistical Richard is the
perfect foil, particularly as he loses the thread while still keeping
his character’s enormous ego. At a brief one hour and 34 minutes, the
performances alone make the film worth seeing.
THE ARTIST’S WIFE is an imperfect movie
rescued from forgettable by the perfect performances of Lena Olin and
Bruce Dern. The drama opens September 25 in select theaters and on
demand on various platforms.

Ralph Bellamy as FDR in SUNRISE AT CAMPOBELLO will soon be available on Blu-ray From Warner Archive. ordering information can be found HERE
He led America’s battles against the Depression and the Axis powers – and won. But first Franklin Delano Roosevelt fought a personal battle against polio that would either destroy him – or arm him for greatness. This powerful film of Dore Schary’s long-running play is an intimate, admiring profile in courage. Ralph Bellamy reprises his dynamic Tony®-winning stage portrayal of the future President, and Greer Garson is his devoted, warbly-voiced wife, Eleanor. Both were uncannily true in their roles, and acclaim followed: Garson earned Golden Globe® and National Board of Review Best Actress awards, as well as one of the movie’s four Oscar® nominations. With exteriors filmed at Campobello and Hyde Park and interiors staged on uncanny duplications of the real-life Roosevelt homes, Sunrise at Campobello shines eloquently and movingly.
