  • Film Essay for "Midnight"
    Midnight By Kyle Westphal Long-standing critical con- sensus and the marketing prowess of Turner Classic Movies have declared 1939 to be “Hollywood’s Greatest Year”— a judgment made on the basis of a handful of popular classics like “Gone with the Wind,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Stagecoach,” and “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” and a rather large stable of films that represent studio craftsmen at its most competent and unpretentious.

  • Leisen, Mitchell (1898-1972) by Craig Kaczorowski
    Leisen, Mitchell (1898-1972) by Craig Kaczorowski Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2010 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Mitchell Leisen was a noted director during Hollywood's Golden Age. He is credited with more than 40 feature films, which are celebrated for their stylishness and visual elegance. He excelled at witty, romantic comedies that are often tinged with a touch of melancholy, such as the classic "screwball" comedy Easy Living (1937) and the clever, cosmopolitan farce Midnight (1939). Leisen has also been hailed for his "gender role-reversal" films, where the male lead is cast as the sex object and the female lead as the aggressor. Not surprising for a bisexual director working in Hollywood, Leisen's other thematic obsessions included mistaken identity, role-playing, and deception. Leisen returned to the same performers film after film, developing strong working partnerships. Although he was instrumental in shaping the careers of such actors as Fred MacMurray and Ray Milland, Leisen became typed as a "woman's director" for the fastidious, detailed attention he paid to the costuming and art direction of his productions, as well as for the nuanced, spontaneous performances he coaxed from such actresses as Carole Lombard, Claudette Colbert, and Olivia de Havilland. Among many film historians, Leisen's artistic reputation has been tarnished somewhat by the stormy relationships he became embroiled in with some of his screenwriters, most notably Preston Sturges and Billy Wilder. After working on several films with Leisen, both writers demanded to be allowed to direct their own scripts, in part because they objected to the sophisticated veneer of Leisen's directorial style and to the changes he frequently made to their screenplays.

  • Films from the THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39
    t% The Museum of Modern Art 1] West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart No. 83 FOR RELEASE: Friday, August 25, I968 Films from THE THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39 The Museum of Modern Art, will present a retrospective of films from the thirties beginning August 23, and running through October 6. The Thirties, according to Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Department of Film, will consist of 39 pictures, representing some of the richest creative talent in American cinema at a time that has been called "the dear, dead days not beyond recall." Two years ago the Museum presented The Thirties, U.S.A., Part I, covering the first half of the decade. The films being shown now as Part II were made from 1935 ^^ 193 '• Among the pictures to be shown are: Frank Capra's "Lost Horizon"; Paul Muni in "The Life of Emile Zola," the Story of a Northern Jew's lynching in the South; the great thriller "Night Must Fall," an adaptation of the Emlyn Williams play starring Robert Montgomery; and "The Good Earth," a spectacle film in black and white, from Pearl Buck's popular novel, for which Luise Rainer won her second Academy Award, with Paul Muni in the starring role. The latter part of the thirties was characterized by further achievements in the musical film, largely due to the talents of Fred Astaire, who with Ginger Rogers starred in "Top Hat," and "Shall We Dance," both of which are in the retrospective. The most important contributions to the annals of films made in the thirties was the series of "snowball" comedies Hollywood turned out at a time of grim, economic hardships.

For more information, contact the Louis B. Mayer Library. Acquisition Method: Donated by Eleanor Broder (personal assistant) for Mitchell Leisen, from September 28, 1970 up until his death in 1971. BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORY NOTE: Mitchell Leisen, (born October 6, 1898, Menominee, Michigan, U.S. — died October 28, 1972, Los Angeles, California), American costume designer, art director, and film and television director. He entered the film industry in the 1920s, beginning in the art and costume departments. He directed his first film in 1933 with CRADLE SONG and became known for his keen sense of aesthetics in the glossy Hollywood melodramas and screwball comedies he turned out. His motion pictures — almost all of them made at Paramount — were often dominated by strong female leads such as Barbara Stanwyck, Paulette Goddard, Olivia de Havilland, Claudette Colbert, and Carole Lombard, who rarely were paired with a male actor of equal stature or presence. His best-known films include the Alberto Casella adaptation DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY (1934) and MURDER AT THE VANITIES (1934), a musical mystery story with Duke Ellington’s Orchestra, as well as MIDNIGHT (1939) and HOLD BACK THE DAWN (1941), both scripted by Billy Wilder.

  • Home Advice, Gossip, and Professional Resignation: the Female Journalists in the Films of Billy Wilder
    Asian Women March 2016, Vol. 32, No. 1, pp. 111-128 Home Advice, Gossip, and Professional Resignation: The Female Journalists in the Films of Billy Wilder Simón Peña-Fernández University of the Basque Country, Spain Abstract The cinematic image of journalism has traditionally relegated the role of women to the background. The same occurs in Billy Wilder films, whose powerful portrayal of the profession in Ace in the Hole (1951) and The Front Page (1974) was cemented in his previous career as a reporter for tabloids in Vienna and Berlin in the twenties. Among the numerous journalists that appear in the twenty-six films he wrote and directed, only one in ten are women, and they are also relegated to the stereotypical patterns of representation of the early twentieth century. But unlike many other directors who worked as journalists before entering the world of motion pictures and who subsequently contributed to the construction of the film stereotype of the profession, Wilder could boast about something that was hardly within reach of his peers, since he had impersonated a female journalist who offered advice in the Berlin tabloid Tempo. This paper analyzes the female journalist characters in the twenty-six films written and directed by Billy Wilder, among the 240 workers in the mass media who appear in those films. The results show that Wilder relied on a highly stereotyped portrait of the profession, with only three female characters with enough of their own identity to stand out as individuals, and that Wilder’s portrait ties in with a primitive view of the profession in which women are only one out of ten media workers and only suited to write gossip columns and offer home advice.
