  • From Hitler to Hollywood: Transnational Cinema in World War Ii
    FROM HITLER TO HOLLYWOOD: TRANSNATIONAL CINEMA IN WORLD WAR II Joy L. Bennett A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2011 Committee: Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Dr. Rebecca Mancuso ABSTRACT Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor This is a comparative study between the film industries of Nazi Germany and the United States in World War II. I examine the governmental influence on the cinematic industries and how that affected the people. I also show that the Nazi government had more influence than is generally thought over the United States and the film industry in Hollywood. The émigrés that had to flee the Nazis brought new ideas to Hollywood, creating new genres of film. The use of Government documents, diaries, memoirs, films as well as secondary sources are the major sources. The government documents were obtained from the Motion Picture Artists Association Archive, and deal specifically with the Office of War Information. The OWI created rules for filmmaking in the war years and oversaw many productions, including Army training films. The diaries are those of Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, and I include an appendix of statements he made regarding films. In looking at certain émigrés and stars in both Hollywood and Germany, I use autobiographies and biographies detailing the lives of the famous in the pertinent years. Many of the secondary sources are previously written works about the creation of cinema, Hollywood history and the German cinematic industry. I use many films to illustrate the ideas that were being expressed to the public, as well as entertaining the people.

  • Chapter 5. All Dressed up and Running Wild: Some Like It Hot (1959)
    Chapter 5 ALL DRESSED UP AND RUNNING WILD: SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959) “Whatever meaning you will fi nd in my pictures, it’s all put in kind of con- traband, you know—sort of smuggled in.” —Billy Wilder1 “Satires that are understood by the censor should indeed be forbidden.” —Karl Kraus2 Trading in Counterfeits A hearse drives through a city at night, four somber men inside seated around a coffi n. A siren is heard, faint at fi rst but rapidly growing louder. The driver and the man next to him exchange nervous glances; the men in back peek through the curtain and see a police car bearing down on them. The driver accelerates, weaving crazily through traffi c while the police- men behind them open fi re. The men in back pull a couple of sawed-off shotguns from a hidden overhead rack and return fi re. Bullets riddle their car, smashing the glass panel. Suddenly, the police car skids out of control, jumps the curb, and comes to a screeching halt while the gangsters escape. But bullets have penetrated the coffi n and liquid is spurting through the bullet holes. Taking the lid off the men reveal that the coffi n is fi lled to the top with liquor bottles, some of them broken. A superimposed title informs us where we are—it’s Chicago, 1929. Thus opens Some Like It Hot, set in Al Capone’s wintry city during the time of Prohibition, the speakeasy, organized crime, and gang warfare. Yet what begins as a gangster fi lm in the tradition of Scarface (Howard Hawks, 1932) and such Warner classics as The Public Enemy (William Well- man, 1931), Angels with Dirty Faces (Michael Curtiz, 1938) and The Roar- ing Twenties (Raoul Walsh, 1939) soon reveals its more parodic dimension.

  • Billy Wilder (1906-2002)
    Billy Wilder (1906-2002) “People copy, people steal. Most of the pictures they make nowadays are loaded down with special effects. I couldn't do that. I quit smoking because I couldn't reload my Zippo..” — Billy Wilder, quoted in The New York Times An Austrian Legend He was born Samuel Wilder on June 22, 1906 in a remote corner of a remote province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now part of Poland). He died at his home in Beverly Hills, California on March 27, 2002. In the intervening 95 years, an impressive life story unfolded, a life that was to have a lasting impact on Hollywood and world cinema. Wilder's mother nicknamed her young son “Billie” because she had seen the Buffalo Bill Wild West show as a teenager. By the time Billie was four years old (the “Billy” spelling came after Wilder was in the U.S.), the family had a fine home in Vienna's toney First District, living both there and in Kraców until the First World War tore the old Empire apart and created hard times for the Wilders and all Austrians. The recent Broadway and London musical productions of Sunset Boulevard, based on Billy Wilder's 1950 movie of the same name, and the 1995 remake of Sabrina, Wilder's 1954 romantic tale featuring Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden, are good illustrations of how director Billy Wilder's films tend to endure, much like the man himself. Wilder was still active in his nineties, even if he was no longer directing award-winning movies.

  • Wilder Rétrospective 3 Janvier – 7 Février
    COMÉDIES MUSICALES COMÉDIES PROGRAMMATION BILLY WILDER RÉTROSPECTIVE 3 JANVIER – 7 FÉVRIER Certains l’aiment chaud 49 Boulevard du crépuscule LE SPECTACLE DE LA SOCIÉTÉ Il a réalisé à Hollywood certaines des comédies les plus célèbres de l’histoire du cinéma : Sept ans de réflexion, Certains l’aiment chaud… Il a contribué à l’inven- tion du « film noir » (Assurance sur la mort). Il a disséqué son propre monde ciné- matographique (Boulevard du crépuscule) et la société du spectacle (Le Gouffre aux chimères). Il a tourné enfin de beaux films drôles et mélancoliques (Avanti !, La Vie privée de Sherlock Holmes). Il a surtout radiographié avec ses scénaristes l’imaginaire et les fantasmes de l’Américain moyen (La Garçonnière, Embrasse- moi, Idiot !). Billy Wilder ou l’un des grands noms d’un studio system qu’il a tou- jours su servir sans se départir de son esprit acéré et de son regard impitoyable. Au firmament des grands cinéastes, Billy Wilder occupe une place paradoxale et toujours âprement discutée. Célébré à juste titre comme l’auteur d’une succession de chefs-d’œuvre intemporels, tels que les inoubliables Boulevard du crépuscule (1950), Certains l’aiment chaud (1959) ou La Garçonnière (1960), il est néanmoins et depuis longtemps la cible d’un snobisme tenace, ne voyant dans sa virtuosité d’écriture et son ironie explosive (et sans doute aussi dans sa popularité jamais CINEMATHEQUE.FR démentie) que l’expression d’une profonde vulgarité – le mot est lâché. Vulgaire Billy Wilder mode d’emploi : serait donc la façon dont Wilder, disciple du prince de la comédie Ernst Lubitsch, retrouvez une sélection perpétua son héritage mais sans les bulles de champagne, en pratiquant un humour subjective de 5 films dans la filmographie de Billy Wilder, qui serrait de beaucoup plus près l’objet de ses litotes et allusions, accompagnant comme autant de portes en cela le relâchement progressif du Code Hays entre les années 1950 et 1970.
