  • Judy Turns the Objectifying Male Gaze Back on Itself
    JUDY O’BRIEN [Maureen O’Hara] (dancing onstage, dress straps rip-male audience members taunt) Go ahead and stare. I'm not ashamed. Go on, laugh; get your money's worth. Nobody's going to hurt you. I know you want me to tear my clothes off so you can look your 50 cents' worth. Fifty cents for the privilege of staring at a girl the way your wives won't let you. What do you suppose we think of you up here? (camera pans l to r well-heeled and ashamed male in tuxedos and reproving female audience members) With your silly smirks your mothers would be ashamed of. It's a thing of the moment for the dress suits to come and laugh at us too. We'd laugh right back at you, only we're paid to let you sit there...and roll your eyes, and make your screamingly clever remarks. What's it for? So you can go home when the show's over, strut before your wives and sweethearts... and play at being the stronger sex for a minute? I'm sure they see through you just like we do. From Dance, Girl, Dance (Dorothy Arzner,1940) Tess Slesinger & Frank Davis (screenplay) Vicki Baum (story) Judy turns the objectifying male gaze back on itself. First 4 have a Hollywood/family connection: Dorothy Arzner’s family owned a Hollywood restaurant frequented by actors and directors Ida Lupino came from a family of British actors Penny Marshall’s Mom was a tap dance teacher, her Dad a director of industrial films and older brother Gary, a TV series creator and successful film director.

  • John Ford's Stagecoach
    LELAND POAGUE 3 That Past, This Present Historicizing John Ford, 1939 Though its credit sequence features a montage of leisurely move- ments – shots of a stagecoach and its escort moving one way; of U.S. cavalry, then Apache warriors, the other; of the stagecoach again, sans escort, as if returning – Stagecoach proper begins with riders gal- loping hell-bent-for-leather almost directly toward the camera, in a long shot.1 This shot then dissolves to an army outpost on the edge of nowhere, hitching rails to frame left, tents and camp furniture and a flag staff to frame right. A bugle blows. The stars and stripes ascend the pole in the background while the riders pass back-to- front through the frame. A more visually and dramatically central flag raising occurs at the end of Drums Along the Mohawk, another 1939 John Ford film involving frontier outposts, besieged settlers, sinister aristocrats, newborn infants, and courage tested by combat or contest. And it concludes, almost as Stagecoach begins, with a dis- play of the national banner. Few of the Revolutionary-era characters who watch its ascent in Drums have ever seen the flag before; the symbolism of its stars and stripes must literally be explained. And individual “watchers” are picked out by Ford’s camera and cutting to witness its ascent, as if they were watching on our behalf. Claudette Colbert’s Lana Martin thinks the flag is “pretty”; a black woman, Daisy, Mrs. McKlennar’s “servant,” looks up tearfully; Blue Back, a Christian Indian, offers salute; and Henry Fonda’s Gil Martin gets a good eyeful and says it’s “time to get back to work” because there’s a “heap to do from now on.” 82 HISTORICIZING JOHN FORD, 1939 83 It is the work of this essay to investigate the historicity of John Ford’s films and filmmaking in 1939, commonly regarded as Hollywood’s and Ford’s most “spectacularly prolific” year.2 I invoke a portion of that history as prologue in order to acknowledge the necessary partiality of the enterprise.

  • Hollywood in 1939
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release July 1989 HOLLYWOOD IN 1939 August 4 - September 12, 1989 Widely regarded as the height of the Hollywood studio system, the year 1939 produced an unparalleled variety of enduring films. Thirty-five of the most memorable movies released that year by major studios and independent producers are presented in HOLLYWOOD IN 1939, opening at The Museum of Modern Art on August 4, 1989. In addition to the acknowledged classics of the time, the exhibition also includes modest genre films and B movies which sustained the industry and entertained an avid public worldwide. In 1939, a decade after the entrenchment of talkies and with the Depression on the wane, the film industry reached a new level of technological, artistic, and economic confidence. In terms of theme, style, and budget, Hollywood's output was remarkably diverse. This series reflects the range of films produced at the time, from opulent adaptations of literary classics, such as William Wyler's Wuthering Heights, to massive biographical portraits, such as William Dieterle's Juarez. Also included are B pictures of the time featuring continuing characters—the thirties' equivalent of network television series--such as Harold S. Bucquet's Calling Dr. Kildare, Alfred Werkers's The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Edwin L. Marin's Maisie, and Richard Thorpe's Tarzan Finds a Son. Although all the major studios produced a wide variety of films, many concentrated on specific genres for which they demonstrated a particular flair. Raoul Walsh's The Roaring Twenties, starring James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart, is an example of Warner Bros' underworld melodramas; Rowland V.

    8oo xtad 1961-1963 LANGUAGE ARTS AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES r ^rr/ of rtiwow AUDIO VISUAL AIDS SERVICE N0 'V 16 1961 DIVISION OF UNIVERSITY EXTENSION UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS All of us engaged in the business of educa- tion are aware of the new tools developed to help us do our job more efficiently and effectively. We are certainly aware of the increased enrollments in our classrooms and the increasing amount of subject matter we are expected to teach. I firmly believe that only as we learn to use these new educa- tional tools expertly in the classroom will we be able to adequately meet the increasing demands placed upon us. One of the most valuable new educational STANLEY C. ROBINSON tools is the motion picture. It has been DEAN OF UNIVERSITY EXTENSION with us long enough to be properly evalu- ated and its worth determined. However, we must remember it is only a teaching tool and must be used well by the teacher in order to produce the results of which it is capable. To this end, I suggest that every school should own copies of the leading audio-visual texts and subscribe to one or more of the leading periodicals. In addition to this, I would urge that teachers be en- couraged to take training in audio-visual utilization either in summer school or through extension courses. We all hope that the end results of our teaching efforts are students who have gained knowledge and comprehension of the subject matter we teach. There is a much better chance of success if we use as teaching tools those with which the stu- dents are familiar.

  • John Ford Birth Name: John Martin Feeney (Sean Aloysius O'fearna)
    John Ford Birth Name: John Martin Feeney (Sean Aloysius O'Fearna) Director, Producer Birth Feb 1, 1895 (Cape Elizabeth, ME) Death Aug 31, 1973 (Palm Desert, CA) Genres Drama, Western, Romance, Comedy Maine-born John Ford originally went to Hollywood in the shadow of his older brother, Francis, an actor/writer/director who had worked on Broadway. Originally a laborer, propman's assistant, and occasional stuntman for his brother, he rose to became an assistant director and supporting actor before turning to directing in 1917. Ford became best known for his Westerns, of which he made dozens through the 1920s, but he didn't achieve status as a major director until the mid-'30s, when his films for RKO (The Lost Patrol [1934], The Informer [1935]), 20th Century Fox (Young Mr. Lincoln [1939], The Grapes of Wrath [1940]), and Walter Wanger (Stagecoach [1939]), won over the public, the critics, and earned various Oscars and Academy nominations. His 1940s films included one military-produced documentary co-directed by Ford and cinematographer Gregg Toland, December 7th (1943), which creaks badly today (especially compared with Frank Capra's Why We Fight series); a major war film (They Were Expendable [1945]); the historically-based drama My Darling Clementine (1946); and the "cavalry trilogy" of Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), and Rio Grande (1950), each of which starred John Wayne. My Darling Clementine and the cavalry trilogy contain some of the most powerful images of the American West ever shot, and are considered definitive examples of the Western. Ford also had a weakness for Irish and Gaelic subject matter, in which a great degree of sentimentality was evident, most notably How Green Was My Valley (1941) and The Quiet Man (1952), which was his most personal film, and one of his most popular.
