  • Under Capricorn Symposium Were Each Given a 30 Minute Slot to Deliver Their Paper and Respond to Questions
    Papers based on the Symposium held at Kings College, University of London, 5th & 6th September, 2019 1 Introductory Note Speakers at the Under Capricorn Symposium were each given a 30 minute slot to deliver their paper and respond to questions. In preparing for this collection, all the papers have been revised and several have been considerably developed to provide additional context, argument and analysis. Apart from changes in format introduced to create a unified document (and in one or two cases to integrate images), the papers appear as the writers submitted them. The papers are arranged in the order of the symposium programme, with one exception. Bertrand Tavernier was unfortunately unable to attend and his paper is the first the reader will encounter.

  • TELEVISION in the 1960'S. in TERMS of TELEVISION the 1960'S Was an Exceptional Era for Broadcasting Innovation and Ex- Cite
    TELEVISION IN THE 1960’S. IN TERMS OF TELEVISION the 1960’s was an exceptional era for broadcasting innovation and ex- citement. Since its inception in the late 1920’s by American Philo Taylor Farnsworth aged 21 who was brought up in a home with no electricity until he was 14, the first electronic television began to grow in popu- larity across the english speaking world. John Reith ( 1889 - 1971 ) was the founder of the BBC. He was the first general manager when it was set up as the British Broadcasting Company in 1922, and he was its first Director General when it be- came a public broadcasting corporation in 1927. A towering man in every sense of the word he fought off the politicians’ attempts to influence the BBC whilst offering the British people programmes to “ EDUCATE, INFORM AND ENTERTAIN “ By the early 1950’s TELEVISION began its special role as a focus point for a shared nation culture - a national pride - and it all began with the Queen’s Coronation. Elizabeth 11 was crowned in Westmin- ster Abbey on June 2nd 1953. At that time fewer than 2 million homes had televisions, and these were mainly grouped around large conurbations , London, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff and Glasgow. In the build up to the day 526, 000 sets were sold as Coronation fever swept the country and although there was only 2.5 millions sets in Britain , somehow 20 million people managed to watch the event. My survey says that many families 58% acquired a TV for the Coronation, one of my contributors as a young boy helped his Dad construct a television for the occasion, and those houses without a telly were invited to friends or neighbours to watch.

  • Title: Get the London Look: Anna Neagle As the Emblem of British Fashion and Femininity in Maytime in Mayfair (1949). Between 19
    Title: Get the London Look: Anna Neagle as the Emblem of British Fashion and Femininity in Maytime in Mayfair (1949). Between 1947 and 1952, the top British female star at the domestic box office was Anna Neagle. She had displaced Margaret Lockwood, who had achieved the top position during the war years with her turns as dangerous and subversive women in Gainsborough pictures such as The Man in Grey (Arliss, 1943) and, most famously, The Wicked Lady (Arliss, 1945). In both films Lockwood co-starred with James Mason, the brooding, somewhat sadistic idol to a legion of female fans. Mason, mirroring Lockwood’s popularity, was the top male star of 1945 and his appeal was a ‘combination of romantic allure and Sadean fascination’ (Evans 2001: 108) – an appeal that meshed with Lockwood’s ‘unity of transgression and sexual appetite’ (Babington 2001: 94). Aimed at a largely female audience, the Gainsborough melodramas provided escapism and the danger and sexual allure of the characters and stars resulted in a skewing of ‘moral logic’ (Leach 2004: 67), which Jeffrey Richards reads as revelatory of the wartime dislocation of moral values (Richards 1985: 292). With the end of the war, however, there came a reclamation of traditional values, not least in British cinema. In the years immediately following the war, there was a distinct pattern in British films that foregrounded ‘the British people’ as hero, a pattern following the wartime work of Humphrey Jennings in providing images of a united Britain; and the idea image of a Briton was a figure of restraint, good-humour and self-deprecation.

  • Elizabeth Taylor - Child Actress to Film Queen - the New York Times
    Elizabeth Taylor - Child Actress to Film Queen - The New York Times ADVERTISEMENT ELIZABETH TAYLOR, 1932-2011 A Lustrous Pinnacle of Hollywood Glamour By Mel Gussow March 23, 2011 Elizabeth Taylor, the actress who dazzled generations of moviegoers with her stunning beauty and whose name was synonymous with Hollywood glamour, died on Wednesday in Los Angeles. She was 79. A spokeswoman at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center said Ms. Taylor died at 1:28 a.m. Pacific time. Her publicist, Sally Morrison, said the cause was complications of congestive heart failure. Ms. Taylor had had a series of medical setbacks over the years and was hospitalized six weeks ago with heart problems. In a world of flickering images, Elizabeth Taylor was a constant star. First appearing on screen at age 10, she grew up there, never passing through an https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/24/movies/elizabeth-taylor-obituary.html[4/27/2020 3:07:02 PM] Elizabeth Taylor - Child Actress to Film Queen - The New York Times awkward age. It was one quick leap from “National Velvet” to “A Place in the Sun” and from there to “Cleopatra,” as she was indelibly transformed from a vulnerable child actress into a voluptuous film queen.
