    1 RESISTANCE MADE IN HOLLYWOOD: American Movies on Nazi Germany, 1939-1945 Mercer Brady Senior Honors Thesis in History University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of History Advisor: Prof. Karen Hagemann Co-Reader: Prof. Fitz Brundage Date: March 16, 2020 2 Acknowledgements I want to thank Dr. Karen Hagemann. I had not worked with Dr. Hagemann before this process; she took a chance on me by becoming my advisor. I thought that I would be unable to pursue an honors thesis. By being my advisor, she made this experience possible. Her interest and dedication to my work exceeded my expectations. My thesis greatly benefited from her input. Thank you, Dr. Hagemann, for your generosity with your time and genuine interest in this thesis and its success. Thank you to Dr. Fitz Brundage for his helpful comments and willingness to be my second reader. I would also like to thank Dr. Michelle King for her valuable suggestions and support throughout this process. I am very grateful for Dr. Hagemann and Dr. King. Thank you both for keeping me motivated and believing in my work. Thank you to my roommates, Julia Wunder, Waverly Leonard, and Jamie Antinori, for being so supportive. They understood when I could not be social and continued to be there for me. They saw more of the actual writing of this thesis than anyone else. Thank you for being great listeners and wonderful friends. Thank you also to my parents, Joe and Krista Brady, for their unwavering encouragement and trust in my judgment. I would also like to thank my sister, Mahlon Brady, for being willing to hear about subjects that are out of her sphere of interest.

  • The Strange and Wondrous Tale of Bill Constable & the Cinemascope Pirates of Pagewood
    1 “AAARRRHH THERE MATEY!” - The Strange and Wondrous Tale of Bill Constable & the Cinemascope Pirates of Pagewood... by Bob Hill, Oct 2018 In early 1954... and a world away from the dense urban spread of today’s Sydney... the southern suburb of Pagewood was little more than wind blasted sand hills and scrub encroached upon by rows of hastily thrown up brick bungalows, a couple of isolated factories and a desolate bus depot. In the middle of this literal and figurative wasteland, a strange enterprise was taking place in Australia’s only purpose-built film studio complex - the making of “Long John Silver”, a Hollywood style blockbuster replete with imported stars, executives and key technicians in all the Heads of Department roles... that is, all except for their Production Designer, a middle aged Australian about to make his first foray into film! 2 1. Hollywood in the Sand Hills Pagewood studios, 1954 - then named “Television City”, 2 years before TV arrived in Australia! (NSW State Library) “Television City seems to have borrowed its architectural inspiration from Long Bay Gaol...” ‘Pagewood’ is the great lost studio of Australian film-making: As Wikipedia explains... The studio was built in 1935 for National Productions by National Studios Ltd, it was originally known as National Studios. It was constructed for the presumed increase in production that most observers thought would result in Australia following introduction of the NSW Film Quota Act... They were the first new film studios built in Australia since 1912. Gaumont British helped provide finance and personnel in its construction.1 The Quota Act was never enforced and instead of becoming the hub of film production in Sydney, makeshift facilities at Cinesound in Bondi Junction (an old roller skating rink) and Figtree Studios in Lane Cove (a converted picnic ground pavilion) soon eclipsed the better equipped Pagewood studios.

  • English 120H: Fantasy in Literature and Film Professor Williams This
    English 120H: Fantasy in Literature and Film Professor Williams This class aims at a multi-media examination of the role of the fantastic utilizing the written text, radio broadcast, film, and music to examine the role of the Fantastic as a significant genre. Beginning with reading H.P. Lovecraft’s essay “Supernatural Horror in Literature’, the class will investigate Poe’s short story “The fall of the House of House of Usher” in relation to the Roger Corman film version and The Alan Parsons’ Project example contained in his CD “Tales of Mystery and Imagination.” It will then examine two of H.G. Wells’s “scientific romances, The War of the Worlds and The Time Machine in relation to the Orson Welles 1938 Mercury Theatre Radio production, the Byron Haskin 1953 film version, the original musical production of the novel by Jeff Wayne, and the 1960 George Pal version of The Time Machine. The next section examines the Vampire tradition beginning with the 1938 Mercury Radio Theatre broadcast of Orson Welles’s Dracula. It will then investigate the role of Hammer Studios versions with screenings of The Horror of Dracula (1958), The Brides of Dracula (1950), and Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970), the last seen against the context of The Other Victorians (1985) written by Steven Marcus. Then the class will conclude God Told Me To (1976) and Quatermass and the Pit (1958-1959) as key examples of H.P. Lovecraft’s “Gods and Monsters” themes analyzed in the essay that introduces this class. The class offers an experience of pure artistic and intellectual “synergy” far different from the usual definition currently in circulation here.

  • Dan Duryea Page 1 Of6
    Dan Duryea Page 1 of6 Dan Duryea - Charming Villain By Frank Dolven Dan Duryea was typecast by his own skill. He was almost too good at creating disturbing portraits of pathological villains, especially in film noir roles. In real life, he was an old-fashioned family man, the opposite of his screen persona. He was born in White Plains, New York, on January 23, 1907, and was educated at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. In the 1930s he worked in advertising before finding his true calling. He made his acting debut on Broadway in Sidney Kingsley's Dead End . He won critical acclaim for his role as the weakling "Leo Hubbard" in Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes on Broadway in 1939. Hollywood scouts took notice of his remarkable performance. Soon he was playing "Leo" in William Wyler's film version of the play. With his slicked-back blonde hair and malicious smile, he became the premier louse of the movies. He developed a repertoire of understated body language with a shrug of the shoulders, a slight raising of the eyebrow, a twitch of the mouth, and a subtle "take-it-or- leave-it-or-go-to-hell" movement of the hand. Duryea became a master, playing to the camera, "as he wielded his reedy, high voice like an irritating, cutting scimitar," one critic wrote. He left many gems among performances in over 70 films spanning 47 years. Film buffs especially remember him for his odious treatment of women. In an interview with Hedda Hopper in the early '50s, Duryea gave a very interesting answer when Miss Hopper asked how he prepared for roles.
