  • LES VIKINGS De Richard Fleischer (USA / 1958 / 1H54’)
    LES VIKINGS De Richard Fleischer (USA / 1958 / 1h54’) 1 / RICHARD FLEISCHER http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Fleischer http://cinema.encyclopedie.personnalites.bifi.fr/index.php?pk=8913 Richard Fleischer est un réalisateur américain, né le 8 décembre 1916 à Brooklyn (New York) et mort le 25 mars 2006 au Motion Picture and Television Hospital de Woodland Hills (Los Angeles). Il est le fils de l'un des pionniers de l'animation, Max Fleischer, le producteur de Popeye et de Betty Boop. Après des études en médecine à l'université de Brown, Richard Fleischer suit les cours du département dramatique de Yale. En 1942, employé à la compagnie RKO-Pathé de New York, il rédige des critiques hebdomadaires de films et réalise des courts métrages et des montages de vieux films muets. Son premier long métrage, Child of divorce (1946), évoque le drame du divorce. Il réalise ensuite des films de série B, et enfin des films à gros budget avec des grandes vedettes, passant en cours de route à la Fox et à la MGM. En 1953, Fleischer est engagé par Walt Disney Pictures pour résoudre la complexité technique du tournage de Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers (1954) en raison de son travail sur le format Cinémascope avec le film Arena (1953)1. Bien qu'il semble que techniquement le film a rencontré plus de difficultés avec le tournage sous-marin, le format Cinémascope a été utilisé pour les scènes de mouvements du sous-marin Nautilus afin de renforcer l'effet dynamique. Ayant réussi avec Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers, Fleischer aurait encouragé le studio à utiliser le format Cinémascope sur les longs métrages d'animation, La Belle et le Clochard (1955) alors en production a bénéficié d'une sortie dans ce format.

Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk Chapter One A production strategy of overdevelopment: Kirk Douglas’s Bryna Productions and the unproduced Viva Gringo! James Fenwick In 1969, after nearly twenty five years in the business and over fifty screen appearances starting with The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (Milestone, 1946), Kirk Douglas took the decision to begin donating his personal and business papers to the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research (WCFTR). Over the next decade, Douglas continued to donate his papers, leading to the division of the original collection into seven broad categories: correspondence and personal papers; financial and business records; television; theatre; radio; motion pictures – produced; and motion pictures – unproduced. Taken together, the Kirk Douglas Papers cover one of the most important and transformational eras in American film history, commencing with the twilight years of the studio system in the 1940s, through its break-up in the 1950s, and the eventual conglomerization of the Hollywood studios in the 1960s.
