  • Lonely Places, Dangerous Ground
    Introduction Nicholas Ray and the Potential of Cinema Culture STEVEN RYBIN AND WILL SCHEIBEL THE DIRECTOR OF CLASSIC FILMS SUCH AS They Live by Night, In a Lonely Place, Johnny Guitar, Rebel Without a Cause, and Bigger Than Life, among others, Nicholas Ray was the “cause célèbre of the auteur theory,” as critic Andrew Sarris once put it (107).1 But unlike his senior colleagues in Hollywood such as Alfred Hitchcock or Howard Hawks, he remained a director at the margins of the American studio system. So too has he remained at the margins of academic film scholarship. Many fine schol‑ arly works on Ray, of course, have been published, ranging from Geoff Andrew’s important auteur study The Films of Nicholas Ray: The Poet of Nightfall and Bernard Eisenschitz’s authoritative biography Nicholas Ray: An American Journey (both first published in English in 1991 and 1993, respectively) to books on individual films by Ray, such as Dana Polan’s 1993 monograph on In a Lonely Place and J. David Slocum’s 2005 col‑ lection of essays on Rebel Without a Cause. In 2011, the year of his centennial, the restoration of his final film,We Can’t Go Home Again, by his widow and collaborator Susan Ray, signaled renewed interest in the director, as did the publication of a new biography, Nicholas Ray: The Glorious Failure of an American Director, by Patrick McGilligan. Yet what Nicholas Ray’s films tell us about Classical Hollywood cinema, what it was and will continue to be, is far from certain. 1 © 2014 State University of New York Press, Albany 2 Steven Rybin and Will Scheibel After all, what most powerfully characterizes Ray’s films is not only what they are—products both of Hollywood’s studio and genre systems—but also what they might be.

Abstract This collection contains documents related to the life and career of Andrew Sarris, an influential American film critic and Professor in the Film Division of Columbia University’s School of the Arts. Professional and personal correspondence, rough drafts of articles, clippings of newspaper columns written by Sarris and his peers, and back issues of film periodicals represent the bulk of this collection. The documents span several decades, from his start as a film critic and theorist in the mid-1950s to the last years of his long tenure at The Village Voice in the late 1980s. Size 1.67 linear feet (4 document boxes) Call number MS# 1451 Location Columbia University Butler Library, 6th Floor Rare Book and Manuscript Library 535 West 114th Street New York, NY 10027 Andrew Sarris Paper Language(s) of material English Biographical Note A prominent American film critic perhaps best known for his "Films in Focus" column, which ran in New York City’s alternative weekly newspaper, The Village Voice, for much of its history, Andrew Sarris upheld the Voice’s reputation as a piquant publication with his lively and frequently contentious writings on cinema. Born in Brooklyn on October 31, 1928, Sarris was the child of immigrant parents who fell on hard times with the onset of the Great Depression. In 1946, he enrolled at Columbia for his undergraduate studies, but around this time, he developed a love of cinema that interfered with his schoolwork, and consequently his grades were poor.

I marvel at Cardullo’s profound perceptiveness – particularly on display in Screen Writings – about the exemplary meaning as well as the ultimate magic of the movies.’ —Andrew Sarris, Columbia University ‘Among my contemporaries, the best film critic writing in English in America is Bert Cardullo, and Screen Writings proves why. ‘ —Dan Harper, American film scholar Screen Writings: Genres, Classics, and Aesthetics explores both the aesthetics of genre and the definition of ‘classic’, as well as the changing perception of so-called classic movies over time. Implicitly theoretical as much as it is unashamedly practical, this book is a model not only of film analysis, but also of the enlightened deployment of cultural studies in the service of cinema study. The book includes re-considerations of such classic films as I vitelloni, Grand Illusion, Winter Light, and Tokyo Story; it features genre examinations of the war film (Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima), farce (Some Like It Hot), the road film (The Rain People), the New York- centered movie (Manhattan), and avant-garde pictures that privilege narrative (3-Iron and Eternal Sunshine of the Classic Mind).

  • A Case Study on Film Authorship: Exploring the Theoretical and Practical Sides in Film Production
    A Case Study on Film Authorship by David Tregde — 5 A Case Study on Film Authorship: Exploring the Theoretical and Practical Sides in Film Production David Tregde* Media Arts and Entertainment Elon University Abstract Film authorship has been a topic of debate in film theory since the Cahiers du Cinema critics first birthed auteur theory. Andrew Sarris used this theory to categorize directors based on their level of artistic au- thorship, solidifying the idea that a director is the sole author of a film. In The Schreiber Theory, David Kipen argues that a writer is responsible for creating the world of the movie and should be considered the author of a film. However, collaborative theories, such as those proposed by Paul Sellors, provide a more practical framework for studying film authorship. Rarely are any film authorship theories compared with specific exam- ples. To compare theory to practice, this research took a two-fold approach. First, theory is explored through primary and secondary sources to give a background and understanding of the main arguments in authorship. Second, this research documents the production of two feature films (Blade Runner & The Man Who Killed Don Quixote) as case studies through analysis of in-depth documentaries. By examining these productions, this study observes theory in practice rather than studying the finished products. I. The Problem of Authorship “Authorship does matter,” says Janet Staiger, because it addresses the issue of acknowledging credit behind a motion picture (Gerstner and Staiger 27). When addressing the responsible parties for a film, it is important to know why such analysis is needed.

Filming Images or Filming Reality: The Life Cycles of Movie Directors from D.W. Griffith to Federico Fellini David W. Galenson and Joshua Kotin NBER Working Paper No. 11486 July 2005 JEL No. ABSTRACT Why have some movie directors made classic early films, but subsequently failed to match their initial successes, whereas other directors have begun much more modestly, but have made great movies late in their lives? This study demonstrates that the answer lies in the directors’ motivations, and in the nature of their films.
