Running with Arnold
Running with Arnold is a politically-charged documentary that tells the fascinating and humorous story of one of the most famous men of our time. From his childhood in post World War II Austria, through his days as a weightlifting champion and action movie star, the film exposes Arnold Schwarzenegger's life in all of its sordid glory. We watch how Arnold's ambition for fame and power have led him on a "take no prisoners" political career that resulted in his winning the political circus special recall election campaign to become the leader of the world's fifth largest economy as Governor of California.
With movements afoot to amend the U.S. Constitution to allow for foreign born presidential candidates, how far will Arnold go in his drive for power? Will the governor's office be enough? See for yourself and draw your own conclusions!

Presented by the Melbourne International Arts Festival and National Institute of Circus Arts. Performed in the NICA National Circus Centre.
Bob Dylan singing Mr. Tambourine Man at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.
Lyrics :
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand,
Vanished from my hand,
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'.
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun,
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seein' that he's chasing.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

MY LOVE WENT TO LONDON:
Sung by Dame Shirley Bassey at the Royal Festival Hall 1998
Recorded by Tony Bennett on his album 'Here's To The Ladies'!
Written by John Wallowitch.
The song has also been sung often by a lady called Blossom Dearie. Who Shirley mentioned each night at the Royal Festival.
Lyrics My Love Went To London:
Thank the Lord I am here at last
Now I found London Town
Never thought I'd live to see
The city on the Thames
Where's that sky of grey
Where's that foggy day
The Gershwins had their say
But now I'm here to tell you
My love went to London
And left me behind
I'm going to London
And I'll find him
Piccadilly Circus
Maybe where I'll meet him
And I'll rush right up to him
And lovingly I'll greet him
My love went to London
I'm missing him so
I'm going to London
And I'll find him
Tomorrow I'll roam around
Old fabulous London Town
I'll search every face I see around me
Until I hold London in my arms
Tomorrow I'll roam around
Old fabulous London Town
I'll search every face I see around me
Until I hold London in my arms.
STORY TO THE SONG:
The fact that John Wallowitch and Bertram Ross are darlings of the New York cabaret world is completely understandable. These two septuagenarians are sophisticated, charming, and eminently lovable. Wallowitch composes hilariously comic and wistfully romantic songs which he then plays on the piano accompanying Ross, his elegant straight man. Their voices may not be great, but their hearts certainly are, and together they create a unique, if unlikely, style.
Now director Richard Morris has preserved this remarkable partnership in a 77-minute documentary, Wallowitch & Ross: This Moment. Alternating between stories and songs, including both formal and informal performances by the duo, the film provides historical perspective, with commentary by a variety of colleagues, as well as archival footage, posters, and programs.
Bertram Ross, the tall handsome vocalist with impeccable comic timing, wasn't always a singer. He joined the Martha Graham Company as principal dancer in 1947, resigning in 1973. For most of those years he was also co-director of the company. He and Wallowitch began their cabaret career together in 1984.
Wallowitch studied at Juilliard where his classical piano training led to a Carnegie Hall recital. He has written over 100 songs, including "Come a Little Closer," "This Moment," and "Bruce." Many of his songs have been recorded by leading artists - Blossom Dearie, Morgana King, Margaret Whiting, Karen Akers, and Shirley Horn.
The partners' romantic relationship is shown, but never made the focus of the documentary. They were introduced by friends over thirty years ago, after Wallowitch had seen Ross dance, and Ross had picked up one of Wallowitch's recordings by chance. They obviously know each other intimately: in song and in conversation they complement each other perfectly. When Ross went to London for an extended period, Wallowitch wrote "My Love Went to London," which was recorded years later by Tony Bennett.
There is a brief appearance by Dixie Carter and an affecting scene with Wallowitch at the piano with Lyn Lobban singing "Runaway," a poignant song that Wallowitch composed at the age of thirteen. In addition to performing Wallowitch's original compositions, the team also sings Berlin, Gershwin, and Porter. Together they tell a touching tale of regularly serenading Irving Berlin's Manhattan home with friends on Christmas Eve. One year they were invited in, and after singing "White Christmas" to the fragile composer, were told that their performance is the best Christmas present he has ever received.
The camerawork and editing are sometimes lax and the identification of commentators occasionally inconsistent, but these minor defects fail to detract from the show's shining stars. The portrait ends on a suitably sweet note, with Wallowitch declaring "Bertram Ross is my life," and then giving him a big kiss on the cheek. What more need be said?
