#ian dalrymple
Quote
There lies a major, perhaps even a sufficient, reason, for the strange curse lying on our documentarists' ventures into fiction. Roy Boulting, Anthony Asquith and Carol Reed had made fictions films before turning to the wartime documentary, and quit documentary as soon, it seems, as they could. Ian Dalrymple, executive producer at the Crown Film Unit during the war years, had previously worked with Korda; he makes the bravest attempt at applying the documentary spirit of responsibility to post-war problems. John Grierson, while executive producer of Group 3 (1950-55), offered mainly sub-Ealing comedies so timid as to be positively ingratiating, and Group 3's best movies with their modest virtues break no new ground. Paul Rotha's one memorable feature, No Resting Place (1950) brings a sharply neo-realistic tone to the romantic shroud which usually envelopes Gaelic peasants. Among B features of limited resources his The Life of Adolf Hitler shockedly informs us that Horst Wessel was a homosexual. So what? What does that prove about Nazism? Given this moralising, this rhetoric, it's obvious why the film is so incoherent in its social perspectives.

Cover Date: August 1986
● Writer: Bob Budiansky ● Penciler: Don Perlin ● Inker: Ian Akin ◦ Brian Garvey ● Colorist: Nel Yomtov ● Letterer: Janice Chiang ● Editor: Michael Carlin ●
**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers
Reactions As I Read:
● “…to be our unbreachable last line of defense!” / “Um, in theory, Optimus Prime, only in theory…” heheh
● Ratchet! <3
● Omega Supreme is a big mutha…
● now Donny Finkleberg is mouthing off at Shockwave. I… think he’s growing on me
● also, where the hell has Buster Witwicky been?
● I like the background art
● heheh, Optimus orders Skids to basically do a hit and run
● Long Haul is a great name
● Omega Supreme has some great lines: “Prepare to meet your manufacturer, Decepticons!”
● 👏👏👏👏
Synopsis:
Optimus Prime unveils to his fellow Autobots the completed project that he has had Grapple working on since he has been reactivated on Earth: Omega Supreme, the best line of defense of the Autobots base the Ark. Optimus Prime explains that Omega Supreme will defend their base while he and the other Autobots lead a potentially suicidal mission to collect data on the Constructicons ability to merge into Devastator so that they can utilize the same technology for their own purposes. When asking the gathered Autobots who will join this mission, Grimlock, and the other Dinobots refuse to help, citing that Optimus Prime is too much of a weakling to lead them and part company. The Dinobots departure changes nothing and Prime orders his Autobots to Transform and roll out.
While at the Decepticon headquarters, located in a Wyoming mining pit, the Constructicons are busy fortifying the base as Megatron and Shockwave continue to squabble over leadership over the Decepticons. The subject of their argument this time is Megatron's allowance to let Donny Finkleberg live among them. Donny has had enough with the Decepticons and is trying to think of a plan to escape, a seemingly impossible task since he is watched at all time by Ravage. Megatron then calls Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Rumble, Frenzy, Laserbeak and Buzzsaw to come to him and go to greet the new Decepticons traveling over the Space Bridge from Cybertron, leaving Shockwave and the others at the base.
The Autobots are on their way to the Decepticon base when Skids has a fender bender with a vehicle owned by the hot-headed Jake Dalrymple. Furious over this hit and run accident, Jake and his girlfriend chase after the Autobots hoping to "get even" with the "driver" of Skids, unaware of the danger that he is going to be putting himself in. Arriving at the outskirts of the Decepticon base, Prime orders Jetfire to distract the military, sending most of their forces after him so that Optimus and the others can smash through the military blockade to the Decepticon base. When Jake attempts to follow them he is stopped by the military.
Arriving at the Decepticons headquarters, the Autobots transform into robot mode and attack the battlements that have been put in place. While in northern Oregon, Megatron, and the others arrive at the site of the Space Bridge and are shocked to find Autobots there instead of Decepticons. They are about to attack when Soundwave radios in to tell him that all the Autobots are assaulting the Decepticon Base. Ignoring Shockwaves suggestions to return to headquarters, Megatron instead decides to attack the Autobot base believing it to be vulnerable to attack.
As the battle in Wyoming rages on, Skids proves to be the most ineffectual warrior, necessitating Optimus Prime to rescue him, suffering an injury to his side. Meanwhile, Shockwave has ordered the Constructicons to merge into Devastator and attack. This allows Bumblebee to scan the transformation data into a recorder, getting the Autobots all the information they need. While the Autobots fight off Devastator, Donny makes a break for it while the Decepticons are distracted. With the data they need collected, the Autobots then retreat, with Ravage (noticing that Finkleberg is gone) following not far behind. While at the blockade, Jake manages to talk the soldiers stationed there to leg him go.
Megatron and the others meanwhile have arrived at the Autobot base and are shocked to find Omega Supreme waiting for them there. Omega Supreme overpowers them destroying Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Rumble, Frenzy and Buzzsaw. He is about to destroy Megatron when Laserbeak picks up his commander and flies away. Back in Wyoming, Optimus Prime gets the report as they zip past the military blockade once again. Jake attempts to stop Skids, causing him to swerve out of the way, leaving him open to an attack by Ravage. Struck by one of Ravage's missiles, Skids is knocked off a cliff. Thinking him destroyed Optimus and the others race off the scene of the battle.
Megatron is returned to the Decepticon base, where Shockwave mocks his failure to take over the Autobot base and announces that he intends to take over the Decepticons. However, Megatron gets up and points out that Shockwave has also failed in allowing the trap to spring around him as well, pointing out that the Autobots must have had an ulterior motive to spring a hit-and-run operation on their base. He also mentions that even though they lost some of their warriors, more are coming to replace them and that they have pointed out to the Autobots that they can attack at any time. Realizing Megatron's words as truth, Shockwave then concedes and names Megatron the true leader of the Decepticons.
While back at the Autobot base, the other Autobots are rejoicing their victory, however Prime points out that they did lose Skids in the battle, and that in the future they must factor in human involvement in their continued battles with the Decepticons on Earth, as they can lead to unforeseen circumstances. As the Autobots mourn for Skids, they are unaware that despite his damage he is still functional, all be it trapped at the bottom of the cliff near the Decepticon base.

The Divorce of Lady X (Tim Whelan, 1938)
Cast: Merle Oberon, Laurence Olivier, Binnie Barnes, Ralph Richardson, Morton Selten, J.H. Roberts, Gertrude Musgrove, Gus McNaughton, H.B. Hallam, Eileen Peel. Screenplay: Lajos Biró, Ian Dalrymple, Arthur Wimperis, based on a play by Gilbert Wakefield. Cinematography: Harry Stradling Sr. Art direction: Lazare Meerson. Film editing: Walter Stovkis. Music: Miklós Rózsa.
Screwball comedy movies, in which an otherwise sober and respectable male, usually a lawyer, a professor, or a businessman, is prodded into absurd behavior and outlandish situations by a giddy, beautiful, and usually rich female, seem to be a particularly American genre. They may have their antecedents in the French farces of Feydeau and Labiche, but they need that American sense, particularly common in the Great Depression, that the rich are idle triflers, not to be trusted by everyday hard-working folk. Which may be why the British attempt at screwball seen in The Divorce of Lady X is a bit of a misfire. Merle Oberon plays the madcap lady in the film, who delights in deceiving and annoying the barrister played by Laurence Olivier until he inevitably falls in love with her. One problem with the film lies in the casting: Olivier's vulpine mien is not one that easily expresses naïveté, which the barrister Everard Logan must possess in order to fall for Leslie Steele's wiles, when she allows him to believe that she's really the scandalous Lady Mere. The real Lady Mere is played by Binnie Barnes, and the subplot revolves around the desire of her husband, played by Ralph Richardson, to divorce her, with the aid of Logan in the dual role of both barrister and corespondent -- how he got into that predicament is the rather clumsy setup for the film. Barnes and Richardson are far better suited to this kind of comedy than Oberon and Olivier, and they contribute some of the more amusing moments in the movie. It's filmed in the rather wan hues of early Technicolor, which only contribute to the general sense of underachievement.

Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller in a poster for the drama film Pygmalion (UK, 1938, dir. Anthony Asquith, Leslie Howard) | GFD (UK) / MGM (USA)
At the 11th Academy Awards in 1939, Pygmalion was nominated for four Oscars and won one: Best Screenplay (George Bernard Shaw, Ian Dalrymple, Cecil Lewis, and W. P. Lipscomb, based on the play by Shaw). In 1956, the screenplay was adapted into the theatrical musical My Fair Lady, which in turn led to the 1964 film of the same name starring Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn.

“Cafferty lunged at the man, gripping him by both lapels. John B started barking, backing off but baring his teeth.
‘I’ll wring that dog’s neck if it tries anything’ Cafferty snarled.
‘It’s alright, John B! Easy, boy’
Cafferty’s face was no more than an inch from Dalrymple’s. ‘You’re going to tell us everything you know, you fat fuck!’“
Ian Rankin, Even Dogs in the Wild.
Thankfully nothing like Big Ger Cafferty’s alteraction with Todd Dalrymple (don’t feel too sorry for Dalrymple; he was a child molestor) took place on my Portobello Beach trip this morning, but a lot of breathing sea air and looking over to (9) Inchkeith and the Kingdom of Fife, and Arthur’s Seat (6 from July 2014) as I considered the duality ot this seemingly cool and genteel city.
Sadly I neglected to bring my swimming shorts as I could easily have braved the North Sea (after a week bathing in Glen Affric burns it would have been a warm bath!) and this is perhaps a metaphor for a more orderly, but less free and less cooperative and united way of life, in which any seam in the order (more Victorian and genteel than ever at Porto, or so it seems) leads to the opening of the underbelly Rankin described.
But this breath of sea air (my first ever visit to Portobello) will not be the last, as I’m going back to Glen Affric and to Edinburgh next year!
