  • From Real Time to Reel Time: the Films of John Schlesinger
    From Real Time to Reel Time: The Films of John Schlesinger A study of the change from objective realism to subjective reality in British cinema in the 1960s By Desmond Michael Fleming Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Declaration This is to certify that: (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is fewer than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. Abstract The 1960s was a period of change for the British cinema, as it was for so much else. The six feature films directed by John Schlesinger in that decade stand as an exemplar of what those changes were. They also demonstrate a fundamental change in the narrative form used by mainstream cinema. Through a close analysis of these films, A Kind of Loving, Billy Liar, Darling, Far From the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy and Sunday Bloody Sunday, this thesis examines the changes as they took hold in mainstream cinema. In effect, the thesis establishes that the principal mode of narrative moved from one based on objective realism in the tradition of the documentary movement to one which took a subjective mode of narrative wherein the image on the screen, and the sounds attached, were not necessarily a record of the external world. The world of memory, the subjective world of the mind, became an integral part of the narrative.

    2/12/2018 The Making of "The Graduate" | Vanity Fair F R O M T H E M A G A Z I N E Here’s to You, Mr. Nichols: The Making of The Graduate Almost from the start, Mike Nichols knew that Anne Bancroft should play the seductive Mrs. Robinson. But the young film director surprised himself, as well as everyone else, with his choice for The Graduate’s misfit hero, Benjamin Braddock: not Robert Redford, who’d wanted the role, but a little-known Jewish stage actor, Dustin Hoffman. From producer Lawrence Turman’s $1,000 option of a minor novel in 1964 to the movie’s out-of-left- field triumph three years later, Sam Kashner recalls a breakout film that literally changed the face of Hollywood. by S A M K A S H N E R M A R C H 2 0 0 8 https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2008/03/graduate200803 1/23 2/12/2018 The Making of "The Graduate" | Vanity Fair Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft in a publicity still for The Graduate.

  • Transcript a Pinewood Dialogue with Buck Henry
    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH BUCK HENRY In the mid-1970s, every young hipster knew Buck Henry—dressed in big glasses, chinos, and baseball cap—from his appearances on Saturday Night Live . Henry had already defined the 1960s by writing the screenplay for Mike Nichols's landmark film The Graduate . He also adapted Catch-22 for Nichols and wrote the brilliant screwball comedy What’s Up, Doc? for Peter Bogdanovich. In 1989, he helped define the satire of yet another generation with his screenplay for Gus Van Sant’s film To Die For . This talk, following a screening of The Graduate , captures Henry’s cool wit and his incisive approach to satire. A Pinewood Dialogue following a screening of HENRY: (Laughter) There are two sides to this story. The Graduate , moderated by Chief Curator One is what one expects from early reactions. David Schwartz (June 22, 1996): Usually after a film is finished, the filmmaker, the director, has a screening for his friends, his or her SCHWARTZ: Please welcome Buck Henry. friends. The “friends’ screening,” as we like to think (Applause) of it, usually with a shudder. It’s traditional to let your pals see it before anybody else. In this case, First thing I want to ask is what it was like for you to because it was Mike’s friends, each of them was see The Graduate again. What was this screening more famous than anyone you know. And so about, like? oh, 100 or 150 people were assembled at Paramount to see this, to have people see it for the HENRY: It was really interesting because I haven’t first time.

    Joseph E. Levine: Showmanship, Reputation and Industrial Practice 1945 - 1977 A.T. McKenna PhD Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham School of American & Canadian Studies March 2008 Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my PhD supervisor, Julian Stringer, for his tireless support of this project since its inception. Julian has provided me with extremely valuable advice and guidance as well as allowing me access to his extraordinarily detailed knowledge of film history and scholarship. He also allowed me a great deal of latitude in my approach to researching what turned out to be a very complex project. I would also like to thank all those I have interviewed for this project: Larry Turman, Albert Maysles, Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. My thanks also go to the staff of the various libraries and archives I have visited: the staff of the Hallward Library at The University of Nottingham, the staff of the BFI Library in London, the staff of the Howard Gottleib Research Center in Boston and the staff of the Margaret Herrick Library in Beverly Hills – especially Jenny Romero. Thanks also to all those at the Department of American and Canadian Studies at The University of Nottingham, particularly Peter Urquhart, Roberta Pearson, Sharon Monteith and Ann McQueen for their help, advice and input.

  • Lem Dobbs Interview by Dan Schneider
    LEM DOBBS Interviewed By Dan Schneider First Posted 1/25/2010 http://www.cosmoetica.com/DSI21.htm 1 Lem Dobbs Interview by Dan Schneider DS: This DSI is with a screenwriter who has participated in some of the best films to be released in the last couple of decades, Lem Dobbs. Thanks for agreeing to discuss your work, career, opinions, and views on life and especially film. For those readers to whom the name Lem Dobbs draws a blank stare, could you please provide a précis on who you are: what you do, what your aims in your career are, major achievements, and your general philosophy, etc.? LD: No one has ever equaled “My name is John Ford, I make Westerns.” I wish I could say the same -- which gives you some idea of my aims and general philosophy -- and how minor my major achievements have been. I suppose I became a screenwriter thinking I would write the kinds of movies that had always been made and join the great Hollywood machine that produced them, only to find my “career” coincident with the creative and economic decline of what we used to call the film industry. Now that the counter-whiners are on alert, primed to point out that there are exciting things happening in South Korea, and that the latest if not the last Manoel de Oliveira film is sublime, and any year that produces UP can’t be all bad ... we may proceed. Although interviews by their nature are backward- looking. Roger Ebert once interviewed an aging Tony Curtis, who said when he first came out to Hollywood he stayed at the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard -- a tradition I followed.
