Acquisition Information This collection is a 1987 donation by RKO Pictures, Inc. Historical Note RKO Radio Pictures, Inc. was founded in 1928 and operated out of the former Robertson-Cole studios in Hollywood (now part of the Paramount lot). The company was born out of mergers among the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), the Film Booking Offices of America (FBO) and the Keith-Albee-Orpheum vaudeville circuit in the 1920s. The result was Radio-Keith-Orpheum, better known as RKO. The studio built its prestige upon a generally high production standard and the participation of major stars, such as Fred Astaire, Irene Dunne, Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn and Ginger Rogers. Additionally, were the stars from behind the camera such as Edward Dmytryk, John Ford, Howard Hawks, Val Lewton, George Stevens, and Orson Welles, among others. Amongst its productions were The Bells of St. Mary's , Bringing Up Baby, Cat People, Cimarron, Citizen Kane, The Farmer's Daughter , Gunga Din, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Informer, King Kong , Kitty Foyle, Little Women, The Magnificent Ambersons, Morning Glory, Notorious, Suspicion and the classic Fred Astaire titles Carefree, Flying Down to Rio , Follow the Fleet, The Gay Divorcee, Roberta, Shall We Dance, Swing Time and Top Hat. Aside from its own productions, RKO also released Goldwyn, Disney and Selznick films such as The Best Years of Our Lives, Becky Sharp, It's a Wonderful Life , and a variety of Disney feature animation films up until 1954. The company continued as a major motion picture studio for more than 27 years. In 1948 Howard Hughes acquired a large share of RKO stock and gained control of the company. After a period of financial difficulties, the company ceased production in 1958, and the studio lot was closed and the real estate sold to Desilu.

  • JACK ARNOLD Di Renato Venturelli
    JACK ARNOLD di Renato Venturelli Tra gli autori della fantascienza anni ‘50, che rinnovò la tradizione del cinema fantastico e dell’horror, il nome che si impone con più evidenza è quello di Jack Amold. Il motivo di questo rilievo non sta tanto nell’ aver diretto i capolavori assoluti del decennio (La cosa è di Hawks, L’invasione degli ultracorpi è di Siegel...), quanto nell’aver realizzato un corpus di film compatto per stile e notevole nel suo insieme per quantità e qualità. Gli otto film fantastici realizzati fra il 1953 e il 1959 testimoniano cioè un autore riconoscibile, oltre a scandire tappe fondamentali per la mitologia del cinema fantastico, dalla Creatura della Laguna Nera (unico esempio degli anni ‘50 ad essere entrato nel pantheon dei mostri classici) alla gigantesca tarantola, dalla metafora esistenziale di Radiazioni B/X agli scenari desertici in cui l’uomo si trova improvvisamente di fronte ai limiti delle proprie conoscenze razionali. Uno dei motivi di compattezza del lavoro di Amold sta nella notevole autonomia con cui poté lavorare. Il suo primo film di fantascienza, Destinazione… Terra (1953), segnava infatti il primo tentativo in questa direzione (e nelle tre dimensioni) da parte della Universal-International. Il successo che ottenne, e che assieme agli incassi del Mostro della laguna nera risollevò la compagnia da una difficile situazione economica, fu tale da permettere ad Arnold di ritagliarsi una zona di relativa autonomia all’interno dello studio: “Nessuno a quell’epoca era un esperto nel fare film di fantascienza, così io pretesi di esserlo. Non lo ero, naturalmente, ma lo studio non lo sapeva, e così non si misero mai a discutere, qualsiasi cosa facessi”.
