Mankiewicz (All About Eve , The Barefoot Contessa ), A A Letter to Three Wives explores the domestic travails of three couples and the woman that brings them to the brink of crisis. The letter of the title is written with a poisonous pen: the three women (portrayed by Jeanne Crain , Linda Darnell , and Ann Sothern ) receive a note stating that one of their husbands has run off with a woman named Addie Ross – which husband in particular, however, remains unmentioned, though each husband had their own affinity for Ross. And so amid the women’s mounting anxiety commences a series of flashbacks, each telling the story of how the three individual marriages had come in their own way to be so strained at the present... A spectacular success at the time of its release, A Letter to Three Wives was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, and earned Mankiewicz the Academy Awards for both Best Director and Best Screenplay.

October 4, 2016 (XXXIII:6) Joseph L. Mankiewicz: ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), 138 Min
October 4, 2016 (XXXIII:6) Joseph L. Mankiewicz: ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), 138 min All About Eve received 14 Academy Award nominations and won 6 of them: picture, director, supporting actor, sound, screenplay, costume design. It probably would have won two more if four members of the cast hasn’t been in direct competition with one another: Davis and Baxter for Best Actress and Celeste Holm and Thelma Ritter for Best Supporting Actress. The story is that the studio tried to get Baxter to go for Supporting but she refused because she already had one of those and wanted to move up. Years later, the same story goes, she allowed as maybe she made a bad career move there and Bette David allowed as she was finally right about something. Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz Written by Joseph L. Mankiewicz (screenplay) Mary Orr (story "The Wisdom of Eve", uncredited) Produced by Darryl F. Zanuck Music Alfred Newman Cinematography Milton R.

Gothic Heroines and Cultural Trauma in 20th Century Literature and Film A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Eric Brownell IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Lois Cucullu January 2015 © Eric Brownell, 2015 Acknowledgements I am very grateful to my adviser, Dr. Lois Cucullu, for her insight and her patience. From my preliminary examination preparation through the dissertation process, Lois always seemed one step ahead of me, aware of the shape my project was taking before I was aware of it myself. Her comments on my dissertation chapter drafts were generous, incisive, and practical, pushing me to fulfill my arguments’ potential while never losing sight of the demands and the constraints of the project as a whole. I am also indebted to Dr. Siobhan Craig, who was profoundly generous with her time during my exam preparation and in the critical early stages of my dissertation drafting. I have sincere appreciation for the extent to which Shevvy’s scholarship, and especially her seminar on Fascism and Film, influenced the ultimate direction my dissertation took. The support and encouragement Dr. John Watkins provided during my dissertation writing process was incredibly valuable to me. His feedback was prompt and detailed and it helped me acknowledge the strengths of my work as well as its potential for improvement. I am also very grateful to Dr. Jack Zipes, whose course on Transformations of the Fairy Tale strongly influenced my critical approach to texts. His comments during my preliminary exam and at my dissertation defense helped me become aware of the potential directions my scholarship could take.

Mankiewicz configurava una de les crítiques i una de les descomposicions més brutals i directes sobre l'univers de l'espec tacle, teatral en aquest cas; però no només varen ser les relacions d'amor i odi entre Margo Channing, Eve Har- rlngton i Addlson DeWltt les que va ren impulsar definitivament la carrera d'un director com Mankiewicz, una sèrie de títols que rodarà en un in terval de només quatre anys (No Way Out —Un rayo de luz, 1951-; 5 F/n- gers —Operación Cicerón, 1952—; i The Barefoot Contessa —La condesa descalza—, 1954) i un altre exemple a la dècada dels seixanta —en què només rodarà dos llargmetratges—, titulat The Honey Pot (Mujeres en Venècia, 1968),1 varen representar l'assentament, la contrarietat que un dels dos morirà a causa de All About Eve reconeixement crític í l'inici del seu abandonament les ferides de l'atracament.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Romantic comedies, from classics such as Trouble in Paradise (1932) to recent hits like Knocked Up (2007), have been a cornerstone of Hollywood entertain- ment since the coming of sound. Suc- cess in romantic comedy has created stars from Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant to Julia Roberts and Ben Stiller. In spite of being popular movies with a long and continuous history of produc- tion, romantic comedies have won only a few Oscars for Best Picture: It Happened One Night (1934), You Can’t Take It With You (1938), The Apartment (1960), Annie Hall (1977), and Shakespeare in Love (1998). Romantic comedies are often dismissed as formulaic stories promoting fantasies about love. But these comedies have a pedigree that includes William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, and Oscar Wilde. Moreover, these films reward study because they deal with dramatic conflicts central to human experience. From those conflicts arise the familiar conventions that form the foundation for the romantic comedy and portray our social manners surrounding courtship, sexuality, and gender relations. An AmericanCOPYRIGHTED Film Institute 2008 poll defined MATERIAL romantic comedy as “a genre in which the development of romance leads to comic situations.” Billy Mernit in his guide Writing the Romantic Comedy claims that the central question is “will these two individuals become a couple?” (2000: 13). He argues that the romance must be the primary story element. Film scholars explain that romantic comedy is a process of orientation, The Hollywood Romantic Comedy: Conventions, History, Controversies by Leger Grindon Ó 2011 Leger Grindon conventions, and expectations (Neale and Krutnik 1990: 136–49).

Drawing on the work of Stephen Barber (2002), Charlotte Brundson (2007), David B. Clarke (1997) and Barbara Mennel (2008), the thesis proposes five city film properties, which are used when analysing Istanbul spy films. These properties are: first, ‘city landmarks, cityscapes and city spectacles’; second, ‘cinematic constructions of social life via social and power relations’; third, the ‘relationship between the protagonist and the city’; fourth, the ‘cinematic city trope and mise-en-scène’; and finally, the ‘story of a city’ or ‘the idea of a city’.
