Akira Kurosawa's THE IDIOT was released in Japan 75 years ago today. "I had wanted to make THE IDIOT long before RASHOMON," Kurosawa said. "Since I was little, I've liked Russian literature, but I find that I like Dostoevsky the best and had long thought that this book would make a wonderful film. He is still my favourite author, and he is the one—I still think—who writes most honestly about human existence."

Known for her frizzy hair, frazzled disposition, and bold embrace of slapstick, she was one of cinema's most popular female clowns during the silent era and one of the first three comediennes (along with Mabel Normand and Marie Dressler) to have her own production unit. wfpp.columbia.edu/pioneer/ccp-alice-howell
