The Audubon Society battles plumage poachers in the Everglades, circa 1900. Legendary director Nicholas Ray suffered an on-location meltdown filming this early ecologically sensitive epic, but the finished product is still one of his better pictures.

Durham, N.C. - During lunch a filmmaker tells me that of all the festivals he’s attended with his movies, the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival is the only one he wants to attend as a spectator. He enjoys how the various screens and activities aren’t spread all over the city. There’s a relaxed atmosphere as the festival-goers aren’t hustling hard to get tickets to sold out screenings. It’s a sweet Southern festival in the middle of Tobacco Road. Even the world’s biggest superstar just hangs out with the festival goers inside of hiding behind a wall of security.
Who is the superstar? Elmo! And we have an exclusive chat with him at the end of this column.
The film selection was once more top notch. An ample number of documentaries received their world debut in Durham. There were a few films that had built a buzz at Sundance,...

The Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival held a rare screening of a Christopher Plummer film, "Wind Across the Everglades" on Saturday, January 24 at Cinema Paradiso in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Plummer also attended the event and received a Lifetime Achievement award.
The showing was a rare occurrence for the film, which had very few showings in Los Angeles and New York in August and September of 1958. It has never been moved to DVD and has not been shown on television in recent decades. It was a onetime collaboration between director Nicholas Ray (Rebel Without a Cause) and screenwriter Budd Schulberg (On the Waterfront).
The night began with a showing of the 1958 movie, Plummer's second film in his movie career. He starred as Walt Murdock, a 19th-century Florida game warden who declares war on local bird poachers in the Everglades in the turn of the century in early Miami, Florida. Co-stars in the film include Burl Ives,...
