Gracias a esta película asistimos, no solamen te a espeluznantes escenas de la guerra entre China y Japón, sino que también aprendemos los tru cos de que a veces se valen los operadores cinematográficos cuando, a falta de temas o de sucesos, inventan hechos sensacionales con que mantener viva la curiosidad del público. El principal papel femenino de esta simpática cinta Metro Goldwyn Mayer corre a cargo de la exquisita Myrna Loy. Waiter Pidgeon y Walter Connolly acompañan a Clark Gable y a Myrna Loy en sus aventuras. LA MEJOR SEMBLANZA DE NAPOLEON Toda la crítica mundial, especialmente la franceso, ha elogiado cálidamente la magnífica ca racteriazción que efectúa Charles Boyer en la película histórica Metro Goldwyn Mayer, "María Wa lewska", cuya principal intérprete es Greta Garbo. Charles Boyer asume en esta dramática narración el papel del Emperador Napoleón I, y, se ni de la gún los más afamados historiadores y biógrafos de Bonaparte, ningún actor de la escena pantalla ha logrado ¡amás un parecido físico más exacto que el conseguido por Boyer.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

Jimmie Killingsworth May 2008 Major Subject: English iii ABSTRACT The Effect of Censorship on American Film Adaptations of Shakespearean Plays. (May 2008) Ruth Ann Alfred, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Douglas Brooks From July 1, 1934, to November 1, 1968, the Production Code Administration (PCA) oversaw the creation of American motion pictures, in order to improve Hollywood’s moral standing. To assist in this endeavor, the studios produced film adaptations of classic literature, such as the plays of William Shakespeare. In the first two years of the Code’s inception, two Shakespearean films were produced by major studios: A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1935) and Romeo and Juliet (1936). But were these classic adaptations able to avoid the censorship that other films endured? With the use of archived collections, film viewings, and an in-depth analysis of the plays, multiple versions of the scripts, and other available surviving documents, I was able to see how these productions were affected by the enforcement of film censorship and what it said about the position of Shakespeare’s work in society.

  • Ann Harding ~ 22 Films
    Ann Harding ~ 22 Films Born in Texas in 1902 and forsaking commerce for the theatre in 1921, by 1929 Ann Harding was an established Broadway lead. In that year she signed with Pathé (soon part of RKO) and through the mid-'30s starred in a series of soap operas, most typically as suffering heroines forced to make noble sacrifices for the men they love. With her ash-blonde hair usually swept back into a bun, classical makeup-free good looks and deep, beautifully modulated voice, the patrician Harding brought a gentle, serene strength to such worthy star vehicles as When Ladies Meet (1933) and The Life Of Vergie Winters (1934) but fared less well in more faltering efforts such as Devotion (1931) and Enchanted April (1935). Ideal for the philosophical sophistication of playwright Phillip Barry, Harding shone in fine adaptations of two of his most successful comedy- drama talkfests: Holiday (1930), for which she received a Best Actress Oscar nomination and The Animal Kingdom (1932). She made two of her strongest films late in her reign as a star: the haunting almost surreal love story Peter Ibbetson (1935, opposite Gary Cooper) and the taut suspense melodrama Love From A Stranger (1937, with Basil Rathbone). She continued to appear on film, stage and television until 1965 and died in 1981, aged 79. With her favourite leading man, Leslie Howard Moira Finnie talks to Ann Harding biographer Scott O'Brien "Looking at Harding," wrote film historian Mick LaSalle in his book Complicated Women "is like looking into clear, deep water. Nothing stands in the way.

  • Katharine Hepburn Season February – March 2015
    Katharine Hepburn season February – March 2015 BFI Southbank today announces a season dedicated to one of Hollywood’s most iconic actresses, Katharine Hepburn. Taking place from 1 February – 19 March 2015, this season will feature 24 of her most famous films, including Bringing Up Baby (1938), The African Queen (1951), The Lion in Winter (1968), On Golden Pond (1981) and an extended run of The Philadelphia Story (1940), re- released by the BFI in selected cinemas across the UK from February 13. Hepburn worked with some of the greatest leading men and the most successful directors of the golden era of Hollywood, including Spencer Tracy, Cary Grant and Howard Hawks, and won four Oscars® for acting, a record which is yet to be bettered. She was brilliantly versatile and could handle serious drama or the lightest of comedies with a rare grace and charm, but she was best at portraying a new kind of fiercely independent woman. Raised in Connecticut by wealthy, progressive parents, Hepburn began to act at college and her early years in the industry were successful and saw her win her first Oscar for her third film Morning Glory (1933). However, this period was followed by a series of commercial failures such as Sylvia Scarlett (1935), Stage Door (1937) and one of her finest films Howard Hawks’ Bringing Up Baby (1938) opposite Cary Grant, with whom she would star in four films. Along with her reputed bossy demeanour and unfeminine image, these film failures led her to be labelled as box office poison. However, this unpopularity also ensured a degree of control over her career that saw her snatch back success on her own terms, and left a string of incomparably assured, complex and winning performances.

    The Museum of Modern Art ^^ ^^ I 11%^ iwiM^^^Miii VI ivawMX^l •• f-mi % ^^^ IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart DIRECTOR GEORGE CUKOR HONORED FIVE-WEEK-21-FILM RETROSPECTIVE A Five-Week Tribute to George Cukor, including 22 films by the American director, will commence on August 27, 1970 at The Museum of Modern Art. Starting with THE ROYAL FAMILY OF BROADWAY, the 1930 movie based on the famous Barrymore clan, with Ina Claire and Fredric March, the Cukor show covers more than three decades in the director's career. In the thirties, stars such as Gary Grant were familiar fixtures in his pictures; the late forties and fifties were marked by the film-maker's frequent collaboration with screenwriters Garson Kanin and his actress wife Ruth Gordon, as well as his pictures co- starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. The final film of the series, THE CHAPMAN REPORT, was made in 1963. The retrospective was assembled by Gary Carey, former Assistant Curator of the Museum's Department of Film and author of a forthcoming book entitled Cukor & Co., to be pub­ lished this fall by the Museum. According to Carey, Cukor was most sympathetic to comic material which had "a strong undercurrent of humanity." Cukor emphasized the roles of his writing collaborators, as well as his actors, because he was primarily influenced by the theater, which he entered in Chicago in 1918. He was a stage manager when stars such as Sarah Bernhardt, Isadora Duncan, Yvette Guilbert, Alia Nazimova, and Elsie Ferguson reigned.
