Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood
Katherine Kinney Cold Wars: Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood n 1982 Louis Gossett, Jr was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Gunnery Sergeant Foley in An Officer and a Gentleman, becoming theI first African American actor to win an Oscar since Sidney Poitier. In 1989, Denzel Washington became the second to win, again in a supporting role, for Glory. It is perhaps more than coincidental that both award winning roles were soldiers. At once assimilationist and militant, the black soldier apparently escapes the Hollywood history Donald Bogle has named, “Coons, Toms, Bucks, and Mammies” or the more recent litany of cops and criminals. From the liberal consensus of WWII, to the ideological ruptures of Vietnam, and the reconstruction of the image of the military in the Reagan-Bush era, the black soldier has assumed an increasingly prominent role, ironically maintaining Hollywood’s liberal credentials and its preeminence in producing a national mythos. This largely static evolution can be traced from landmark films of WWII and post-War liberal Hollywood: Bataan (1943) and Home of the Brave (1949), through the career of actor James Edwards in the 1950’s, and to the more politically contested Vietnam War films of the 1980’s. Since WWII, the black soldier has held a crucial, but little noted, position in the battles over Hollywood representations of African American men.1 The soldier’s role is conspicuous in the way it places African American men explicitly within a nationalist and a nationaliz- ing context: U.S. history and Hollywood’s narrative of assimilation, the combat film. -
Review of Somewhere in the Night

Contact: [email protected] Somewhere in the Night (Fox Home Entertainment, 9.6.2005) Unlike the other two recent entries in Fox’s film noir series, The House on 92nd Street and Whirlpool, Somewhere in the Night is unequivocally the real thing. With Norbert Brodine’s atmospheric lighting, rain-slicked streets (though set in Los Angeles), a swanky nightclub, a sultry torch singer, a villain with a foreign accent, a muscle-bound lug, and moral ambiguity to burn, Somewhere in the Night is a terrific example of the genre. George Taylor (John Hodiak) wakes up in a military field hospital in the Pacific with no memory of who he is. Returning to Los Angeles, Taylor, who instinctively knows this is not his real name, finds an old letter from his friend Larry Cravat and tries to track down Cravat to find out who he really his. With the help of singer Christy Smith (Nancy Guild), nightclub owner Mel Phillips (Richard Conte), and cop Lt. Donald Kendall (Lloyd Nolan), Taylor learns that Cravat and another man were involved in stealing $2 million in loot shipped to the United States by a Nazi officer. -

Challinor: An Analysis of the Perennial Big-Screen Representations of An Analysis of the Perennial Big-Screen Representations of the Famed Detective, Sherlock Holmes by Brody Challinor (English 1154) n the 1939 movie, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle‘s famous detective [Basil Rathbone] finds himself up against his greatest nemesis, Professor Moriarty, [George Zucco] I whom he must fight on two different fronts; protecting a young lady and her brother from the deadly implications of a series of cryptic notes, while simultaneously protecting the Crown Jewels. This portrayal of the character was released to a backdrop of a world in tension, hitting theaters on the first official day of World War II, once Nazi Germany invaded Poland. In sharp contrast to its predecessor, however, the 1979 Murder by Decree pitted Holmes [Christopher Plummer] against what some might call the ‗phantom‘ menace of a fictionalized Jack the Ripper, following hot on the heels of both the Watergate scandal as well as the American feminist movement. -
Chapter II: “The Friendly Abyss”
Chapter II: “The Friendly Abyss” “To understand the cause of Humbert’s obsessive behaviour towards Lolita, we must consider his character […] as a cultural exile […] whose ignoble fate it is to wander aimlessly with Lolita along the margins and byways of American society, sans roots […] sans anything save his glorious memories of an older European world.” John Haegert, “Artist in Exile: The Americanization of Humbert Humbert”, 1985 “If I wanted to destroy a nation I would give it too much, and have it on its knees, miserable, greedy and weak.” John Steinbeck, in a letter to a friend, 1959. 1. Brief Cultural and Historical Contextualisation of Lolita – from 1945 to 1959. Lolita’s cultural backdrop is inseparable from the post-World War II. The novel’s core action begins in the spring of 1947, when Humbert meets Lolita in Ramsdale, and ends in 1952, whith Humbert’s death in jail, followed by Lolita’s some months later on Christmas day. The Second World War had come to an end only seven years before, on August 15, 1945. The Japanese surrender had been arduous and lengthy, culminating in President Truman’s controversial launch of two atomic bombs on Japanese territory. While America enjoyed a victory coupled with few causalities and a rising economy, Europeans dealt with the destruction caused by the Nazi invasions. Most of the losses suffered were not on American soil, but on European and Japanese (Vide Annexes 1 and 2). The lack of bombed buildings and invaded cities did not mean America was deprived of the effects of WWII. -

Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965
The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release June 1990 Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965 July 1 - September 11, 1990 This summer, The Museum of Modern Art pays tribute to Twentieth Century Fox with a retrospective of over ninety films made between 1935 and 1965. Opening on July 1, 1990, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX: 1935-1965 traces three key decades in the history of the studio, celebrating the talents of the artists on both sides of the cameras who shaped this period. The exhibition continues through September 11. Formed in 1915, the Fox Film Corporation merged in 1935 with the much younger Twentieth Century to launch a major new studio. Under the supervision of Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century Fox developed a new house style, emphasizing epic biographies such as John Ford's The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936) and Allan Dwan's Suez (1938) and snappy urban pictures such as Sidney Lanfield's Hake Up and Live (1937) and Roy Del Ruth's Thanks a Million (1935). The studio also featured such fresh screen personalities as Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, and Shirley Temple. From this time on, the studio masterfully anticipated and shaped the tastes of the movie-going public. During World War II, Twentieth Century Fox made its mark with a series of exuberant Technicolor musicals featuring such actresses as Betty Grable and Carmen Miranda. After the war, the studio shifted focus and began to highlight other genres including films noirs such as Edmund Goulding's Nightmare Alley (1947) and Otto Preminger's Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950), wry satirical films such as Joseph L.
