  • Edgar Wallace (1875–1932)
    Edgar Wallace (1875–1932) Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace eða bara Edgar Wallace eins og hann kallaði sig var enskur rithöfundur, blaðamaður og handritshöfundur sem skrifaði 175 skáldsögur, 24 leikrit og fjölda greina í blöð og tímarit. Þá er búið að gera vel á annað hundruð kvikmyndir eftir sögum hans og er enn að bætast við þá tölu. Munu það vera fleiri kvikmyndir en gerðar hafa verið eftir sögum nokkurs annars höfundar. Til marks um vinsældir hans, þá vildi einn útgefandi bóka hans meina að fjórðungur allra bóka sem lesnar voru á Englandi á þriðja áratug 20. aldar væru eftir hann. Í dag er Wallace kannski helst kunnur fyrir að hafa í samvinnu við Draycott Dell skrifað handritið að fyrstu kvikmyndinni um King Kong sem og smásöguna sem handritið og síðar skáldsagan byggir á. Með þekktum bókum eftir Wallace má nefna The Four Just Men, The Ringer og The Door with the Seven Locks (Dyrnar með lásunum sjö). Edgar Wallace fæddist í London 1. apríl árið 1875. Foreldrar hans voru leikarar, Richard Horatio Edgar (sem vissi reyndar aldrei af tilvist hans) og Mary Jane Blair. Mary hafði misst mann sinn árið 1868 og átti eina dóttur fyrir þegar hún varð ófrísk af Edgar eiginlega fyrir slysni. Störfuðu þau Richard bæði hjá sama leikflokki sem rekinn var af móður Richards. Til að forðast hneyksli lét Mary engan vita af óléttunni og fékk leyfi um tíma frá hópnum til að geta eignast barnið í kyrrþey. Bað hún ljósmóðurina sem stundaði hana að finna fyrir sig fólk sem væri tilbúið að fóstra soninn strax eftir fæðingu gegn greiðslum.

  • Bosambo of the River
    Bosambo Of The River By Edgar Wallace Bosambo Of The River I. — ARACHI THE BORROWER MANY years ago the Monrovian Government sent one Bosambo, a native of the Kroo coast and consequently a thief, to penal servitude for the term of his natural life. Bosambo, who had other views on the matter, was given an axe and a saw in the penal settlement—which was a patch of wild forest in the back country—and told to cut down and trim certain mahogany trees in company with other unfortunate men similarly circumstanced. To assure themselves of Bosambo's obedience, the Government of Liberia set over him a number of compatriots, armed with weapons which had rendered good service at Gettysburg, and had been presented to the President of Liberia by President Grant. They were picturesque weapons, but they were somewhat deficient in accuracy, especially when handled by the inexpert soldiers of the Monrovian coast. Bosambo, who put his axe to an ignoble use, no less than the slaying of Captain Peter Cole—who was as black as the ten of clubs, but a gentleman by the Liberian code—left the penal settlement with passionate haste. The Gettysburg relics made fairly good practice up to two hundred yards, but Bosambo was a mile away before the guards, searching the body of their dead commander for the key of the ammunition store, had secured food for their lethal weapons. The government offered a reward of two hundred and fifty dollars for Bosambo, dead or alive. But, although the reward, was claimed and paid to the half-brother of the Secretary of War, it is a fact that Bosambo was never caught.

Cinema has since remained part of the South African social and cultural fabric, although only one scholar, Thelma Gutsche , has studied in any detail the history of the cinema in that country. This paper proposes to discuss and analyze two major as­ pects of the subject that have been overlooked by film histor­ ians. The first is a historical survey of those films which the South African power structure allowed the Blacks to see and participate in. The second objective is to examine how and why those films were selected, and the social impact they were in­ tended to have on the Black community in South Africa. URBAN SCENE SETTING The Dutch East India Company's employees established a settlement at the Cape of Good Hope in 1652. After two bloody campaigns against the Khoikhoi, 1659-60 and 1763-74, the Dutch went on to defeat the Xhosa in front-ier wars in 1779-81 and 1793. But in 1795 the British displaced the Dutch at the Cape.

  • The Crime Thriller in Context Kate Watson
    The Crime Thriller in Context Kate Watson As this book collection attests, the thriller is a wide-ranging category. As this chapter will show (and summarize), the sub- genre of the crime thriller has a large corpus and different national traditions, and, consequently, it does not have a singular literary or national history. Crime thriller narratives can be found across many mediums, including literature, television, graphic novels, and film. Added to this, there are many sub-genres of the thriller that incorporate narratives of crime/s. These are: legal thrillers (and the earlier police procedural), spy thrillers, futuristic thrillers, psychological thrillers, political thrillers, racing thrillers, heist thrillers, cyberpunk thrillers, the ‘troubling’ thriller, and the faction thriller, among others (Scaggs 108). Martin Priestman groups these versions of the crime thriller into the noir thriller and the anti- conspiracy thriller (34).1 In fact, there is a continual revision and evolution of the crime thriller over time. To begin: what does it mean exactly to ‘thrill’? Typically, a thriller is connected with a visceral response and frisson. A ‘thrill’ is connected to emotion: it can incite excitement, be suspenseful, salacious, and sensational. It can also be pleasurable, chilling, and terrifying or invoke anxiety, ambiguity, and fear. For these reasons, the crime thriller is closely connected to and has a crossover with the psychological thriller. So, how can the popular sub-genre of the crime thriller be defined? This chapter will consider the definitions of the ‘crime novel/thriller’ and ‘detective fiction.’ Indeed, each of these terms are broad and encompass many sub-genres in each.

    BFI SPOTLIGHTS THE GREAT PAUL ROBESON A SPECIAL FOCUS ON THE RENOWNED ACTOR, SINGER & POLITICAL ACTIVIST The Proud Valley Screenings of The Proud Valley, Song of Freedom, Jericho, Borderline, Body and Soul and Show Boat Dedicated Paul Robeson collection available to audiences across the UK on BFI Player through Black Britain on Film Nationwide tour across Wales of The Proud Valley Exhibition showcasing Paul Robeson’s film career London: Thursday, 3 November, 2016 – The BFI is celebrating the work of the towering Paul Robeson (1898-1976) as part of its BLACK STAR season and new Black Britain on Film collection, aiming to bring his work and legacy to a new generation of fans. The American-born actor, singer, athlete, lawyer and political activist was a true transatlantic trailblazer with a central role in the American Civil Rights Movement who found fame in the UK and went on to make a significant impact in British film and theatre. Paul Robeson travelled to the UK in the late 1920s, searching for opportunities that were not available for black actors in America at the time. In the UK, he took to both stage and screen, becoming the first black actor to play Othello (1930) in over a century and originating the iconic role of ‘Joe’ in the West End theatre production of Show Boat and later in the film adaptation, which went on to become a box office hit. Determined to break through the stereotypes associated with black actors, Paul Robeson was insistent on playing challenging and insightful roles and this can be seen through his work, particularly in The Proud Valley and Song of Freedom, the two films he cites as his most significant.
