[edit]

I've added some biblio sources (merely following the extant style/formatting) and worked a little on the Pinter collaboration section. When i have time in future i'll try to add some more details to other sections. I was surprised to see such a modest page on Losey and would certainly like to help move it forward Basmatazz (talk) 16:32, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Losey and radio?

[edit]

http://www.digitaldeliftp.com/DigitalDeliToo/dd2jb-Words-At-War.html indicates that Losey directed 2 episodes of the Radio at War, a NBC series. However, other than that - and listening to one of these episodes, http://www.archive.org/download/WordsAtWar_995/1943-07-10NbcWordsAtWar03TheyCallItPacific.mp3 , from the http://www.archive.org/details/WordsAtWar_995 collection - I know nothing about Losey's radio work. And I'm not even sure the digitaldeliftp page is a reliable source. Does someone know more about Losey's radio work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calmansi (talkcontribs) 22:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Erroneous IMDB (again)

[edit]

The IMDB entry on Losey is partially incorrect (e.g. The Prowler was not made in Italy but in the US; Losey's Italian movie was Imbarco a mezzanotte a.k.a. Stranger on the Prowl) and should not be used alone as a reference. Robert Kerber (talk) 10:16, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Loaded language?

[edit]

"Accident explores male lust, hypocrisy, and ennui among the educated middle class as two Oxford tutors competitively objectify a student..."

That sentence suggests a gender bias on the part of its author. And the phrase "competitively objectify" is clumsy and ugly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.104.36.114 (talk) 14:58, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stalinism

[edit]

Hanns Eisler, brother of the even more notorious Gerhart Eisler (Moscow's enforcer with the CPUSA), like Brecht, was (of course) a dedicated communist, whatever he told the American authorities . Losey seems to have been a lifelong admirer of Stalinism. I'm just sick to death with all the white-washing around "liberals"...Of course Losey also was one of the finest film directors (as Brecht was a great writer and Eisler an important musician - that's a whole different thing...--80.157.2.254 (talk) 11:27, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

‚Left for Europe with his wife Louise‘

[edit]

So Losey was married to Elizabeth Hawes, Dorothy Bromiley and Patricia Mohan (Personal life) but left for Europe with his wife Louise (Politics and exile). Is there something missing? I tried to find the answer to myself but failed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gogolscircus (talkcontribs) 07:06, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Germany

[edit]

As far as I can tell, it is not true that Losey studied with Brecht in Germany (no sources are cited for this claim). Rather, as the article explains, he met Brecht (briefly) in the Soviet Union, then worked with him in California. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zweidinge (talkcontribs) 23:17, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
