DESCRIPTION: Many New Yorks: New York 1970s Crime Action Double Bill\nNew Y
 ork is a city so important and so vibrant that they named it twice. For so
 me New York is the city that never sleeps. But there are many New Yorks: N
 ew York becoming modern in the late 1920s and early 1930s\; New York divis
 ions on race and class\; New York vibrancy\; fantastic New York\; and dark
  and noir New York. \n\n The third in Bristol Ideas' series on cities on f
 ilm after Paris and Berlin – looks at the greatest city in the world in 
 these many ways by bringing together films from 95 years of cinema. \n\n 1
 2:00pm: The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)\nDirector: Joseph Sargen
 t\nStarring: Walter Matthau\, Robert Shaw\, Martin Balsam\, Héctor Elizon
 do\n15/ USA / 104mins \n\n An all-star cast\, including Robert Shaw (Jaws)
  and Oscar winners Walter Matthau and Martin Balsam delivers "sure-fire en
 tertainment (that’s) gripping and exciting from beginning to end" (The H
 ollywood Reporter). \n\n Based on the bestseller by John Godey\, this puls
 e-pounding picture is guaranteed to give you the ride of your life. Somewh
 ere underground\, in New York’s subway system\, just outside the Pelham 
 Station\, a gang of armed men hijack a train\, threatening to kill one hos
 tage per minute unless their demands are met. Forced to stall these unknow
 n assailants until a ransom is delivered or a rescue is made\, transit chi
 ef Lt. Garber (Matthau) must ad-lib\, bully\, con and shrewdly outmanoeuvr
 e one of the craftiest and cruellest villains (Shaw) in a battle of wits t
 hat will either end heroically or tragically. \n\n 2:00pm: Shaft (1971)\nD
 irector: Gordon Parks\nStarring: Richard Roundtree\, Moses Gunn\, Charles 
 Cioffi\n15/ USA/ 100mins \n\n When Harlem P.I John Shaft first appeared on
  the movie scene\, he was a 'shut your mouth' detective to reckon with\, a
  fact underscored by Isaac Hayes' Oscar-winning Best Original Song (1971).
  \n\n While the Black Power movement was reshaping America\, trailblazing 
 director Gordon Parks (The Learning Tree) made this ground-breaking blockb
 uster\, which helped launch the blaxploitation era and gave the screen a n
 ew kind of badder-than-bad action hero in John Shaft (Richard Roundtree\, 
 in a career-defining role)\, a streetwise New York City private eye who is
  as tough with criminals as he is tender with his lovers. \n\n After Shaft
  is recruited to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Harlem mob boss (Amazi
 ng Grace’s Moses Gunn) from Italian gangsters\, he finds himself in the 
 middle of a rapidly escalating uptown vs. downtown turf war. A vivid time 
 capsule of seventies Manhattan in all its gritty glory that has inspired s
 equels and multimedia reboots galore\, the original Shaft is studded with 
 indelible elements—from Roundtree’s sleek leather fashions to the icon
 ic funk and soul score by Isaac Hayes. \n\n Many New Yorks is a partnershi
 p of Bristol Ideas\, Film Noir UK\, South West Silents\, and Watershed. It
  is the third in a series of film programmes looking at cities and film as
  part of Bristol’s Festival of the Future City. \n
