  • Art for the Apocalypse: Sculpture by Frink in Losey's the Damned
    Art for the Apocalypse: Sculpture by Frink in Losey’s The Damned Susan Felleman1 This essay is a slight revision of Chapter 4 of my book, Real Objects in Unre- al Situations: Modern Art in Fiction Films (Intellect 2014), which concerns the material significance of the art object incorporated into the fiction film. By examining the historical, political, and personal realities that situate the art works, I demonstrate how they can operate as powerful players within films, exceeding the function of mere props, copies, pastiches, or reproduc- tions, as well as how they sometimes remain unrecognized and unappreciated, despite their roles. The book’s interconnected case studies examine particularly meaningful appearances of art in movies, including, in addition to the study of Elisabeth Frink’s work in The Damned (Joseph Lo- sey, 1963), neo-classical sculpture in The Song of Songs (Rouben Mamoulian, 1933) and Pride & Prejudice (Joe Wright, 2005), abstract paint- ing by John Ferren and Paul Jenkins in The Trouble with Harry (Alfred Hitchcock, 1955) and An Unmarried Woman (Paul Mazursky,1978), signifi- cant gallery scenes in Venus vor Gericht (Hans Zerlett, 1941) and Muerte de un Ciclista (Juan Antonio Bardem, 1955), and other salient incorporations. I conclude that when real art enters into fiction films, it often comes to em- body problems, themes and discourses—political, historical, existential, spiritual and sexual—in ways that other objects and actors cannot. * * * * * Every alert citizen of our society realizes, on the basis of his own experience as well as his observation of his fellow-men, that anxiety is a pervasive and profound phenomenon in the middle of the twentieth century.

  • Exegesis of the Song of Songs with Comments from the Great American Songbook Robert Case Sunday School Class 2016 Faith Presbyterian Church
    Exegesis of the Song of Songs with comments from The Great American Songbook Robert Case Sunday School Class 2016 Faith Presbyterian Church Part 10 “In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree” In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree is a 1905 popular song written by Harry Williams and Egbert Van Alstyne. It was one of the biggest hits of the early decade. The meter of its chorus is in the form of a limerick. As was fashionable at the time, it as a highly sentimental tune. In the1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, in the scene involving the talking apple trees who become angry with Dorothy for picking apples off them, the strains of this song are heard in the background. The original verses tell the story about a lost love: “In the shade of the old apple tree, Where the love in your eyes I could see, Where the voice that I heard, Like the song of a bird, Seemed to whisper sweet music to me, I could hear the dull buzz of the bee In the blossoms as you said to me, "With a heart that is true, "I'll be waiting for you, In the shade of the old apple tree." Mr. Van Alstyne wrote many popular songs during the early years of the 20th century including “Memories.” A song like this, dripping with sentiment even by early-1900s standards, lent itself to parodies. Popular recording artist, Billy Murray recorded the most popular one. The verse describes him passing by the house of Maggie Jones, a maiden "homelier than me", who asks him to fetch some apples on the promise of giving him one of the pies she plans to bake: “So I climbed up the old apple tree, For a pie was a real thing to me.

  • If She Had Nothing More Than Her Voice She Could Break Your Heart with It
    “If she had nothing more than her voice she could break your heart with it. But she has that beautiful body and the timeless loveliness of her face. It makes no difference how she breaks your heart if she is there to mend it.” - Ernest Hemmingway Any attempt at quantifying what made Marlene Dietrich such an enduring iconic figure over the last 100 years presents the film historian with an immediate quandary. She was not filmdom‟s greatest movie star, nor the stages most prolific chanteuse. Yet she dominated and captivated her audiences both on the screen and in live performance. While others of her generation were in a constant scramble to redevelop their own „image,‟ Dietrich just „was;‟ existing in a vacuum of her own device, and, quite fascinating no matter the venue. At the peak of her career in the mid-1930s, Dietrich was Hollywood‟s highest paid actress; the symbol and very essence of screen eroticism and sexual androgyny. Dietrich‟s own frankness about this tabloid curiosity about her own rumored bi-sexuality was summed up by the great lady with “In America sex is an obsession. In other parts of the world it is a fact!” Like that other luminous European import of her generation – Greta Garbo – Dietrich was more of a presence than mere body; a movement rather than image. She seemed to appear as ageless spirit – supple and pure and free of earthly bonds. If Garbo was the movie‟s sphinx, Dietrich was its haunting enigma; a ravishing creature of immense contradictions – both personal and professional.
