  • Film Essay for "Ride the High Country"
    Ride the High Country By Stephen Prince “Ride the High Country” is the eye of the hurricane, the stillness at the center of the storm of transgression that Sam Peckinpah brought to American film in the late 1960s. That it hails from the on- set of that decade and of Peckinpah’s career as a feature film director ac- counts for its singular grace and affabil- ity. The serenity of its outlook and the surety of its convictions about the nature of right and wrong place it far outside the tortured worlds inscribed by his sub- sequent films. At the same time, it shows clearly the thematic obsessions and stylistic hallmarks that he would make his own when American society began to come apart in ways that ena- bled him to become the great poet of Joel McCrea and Randolph Scott as aging hired guns.

  • Westerns at The
    For immediate release: December 21, 2007 WEXNER CENTER GOES WEST FOR NINE-FILM SERIES IN JANUARY This January, the Wexner Center presents a five-night, nine-film series offering some of the best films from that most American of genres, the western. Though the western has been proclaimed dead or irrelevant numerous times in film history, the recent releases of 3:10 to Yuma, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and even the Coen brothers’ western update No Country for Old Men suggest that there is still plenty of life and contemporary relevance in the genre (see the New York The Searchers, showing January 10 Image courtesy Warner Bros. Times Magazine cover story “How the Western Was Won” on November 11 for more on this topic). The Western series at the Wexner Center—which kicks off January 10—presents a rare chance to revisit (or see on the big screen for the first time) some influential western classics. It features some of the genre’s iconic stars (including John Wayne, James Stewart, Randolph Scott, and Gary Cooper) in films by some of the genre’s masters (such as John Ford, Howard Hawks, Anthony Mann, and Budd Boetticher). While this series focuses on the postwar western cycle typified by flawed heroes and muddied morals (exemplified by Ford’s landmark The Searchers), it also includes lighter approaches (The Plainsman, Trail of the Vigilantes) and the clearly revisionist Little Big Man. This series was organized by the Wexner Center’s film staff. Tickets for each night of the series are $7 general public; $5 members, students, and senior citizens; $3 children under 12.

  • Representing History
    Representing History The Pianist To Kill A King Why use film? History is currently `in vogue’ with the media. Documentaries cover the five terrestrial channels, historical non-fiction tops the best selling charts and Simon Schama, Michael Wood and David Starkey are now superstar presenters. Time Team and Restoration positively encourage us to take a `hands on’ approach – we can now affect what happens to our heritage directly. Historical films are also as popular as ever, with Pirates of the Caribbean currently topping the UK Box Office (although historians may argue exactly which historical period it is from!) and there are still many costume drama classics that draw in audiences across the world. Films that attempt to show history are sometimes derided by historians and critics for their lack of accuracy and sometimes hilariously bad casting - John Wayne as Genghis Khan anyone? However, if we view historical films as documents to begin an investigation, and if we look at how the film itself works, as well as examining how it purports to tell us about the past, the result can be a rewarding and enjoyable journey. A film can capture a feeling for a time; can create a mood and a picture of the past that perhaps, with further historical research and examination of the other contemporary art forms (drama, literature, painting, music etc.) can make that world come to life. © Film Education 2003 1 Curriculum Links The case study films below have been chosen both for their specific links to historical topics but also because of their filmic interest, either as a new take on a particular subject or an innovative way of telling a story.

  • Wee Willie Winkie (1937) and Susannah of the Mounties (1939): Different Imperial Frontiers, Same Shirley Temple?
    Wee Willie Winkie (1937) and Susannah of the Mounties (1939): Different Imperial Frontiers, Same Shirley Temple? Richard A. Voeltz Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma, USA Abstract The Paper really has two themes. One will be an exploration of how Hollywood dealt with imperial themes involving British India (really Afghanistan) with the Lancers and the Canadian west with the “Mounties”. Here the disarming relationship of child film star Shirley Temple with “savage native peoples” comes into play. A second more central theme centers on the film career of Shirley Temple herself and her roles in Wee Willie Winkie and Susannah of the Mounties. Her apogee of popularity reached its peak in the period 1937-1939, the time frame for both films. Although she made some films in 1940, Susannah really marked an end to a certain period of her career as puberty beckoned. The peculiar gender relationship with the principle male characters (Victor McLaglen and Randolph Scott) will then be explored, showing how her “non-threatening white sexuality” did not impinge on the two masculine imperial frontier domains. All this points to Shirley Temple as a cultural icon and as a commercial and sexual commodity in American popular culture. [Keywords: Imperial, Hollywood, Shirley Temple; gender relationship; icon, commodity, popular culture] In the A&E Television Network Biography series the actress Gloria Stuart (late of Titanic fame) relates a humorous anecdote about how the comedian Harpo Marx once asked if “he could buy Shirley Temple” because she was so cute, charming and precious.(Biography) Shirley Temple’s short, meteoric career in Depression-era America, a time when audiences found welcome escape in her delightful charm, youth, spirit, singing, and dancing, and the fact that she almost single-handedly saved 20th Century Fox Studio and perhaps even Hollywood itself (or at least the mythology tells us that), need not be extensively related here, but some general observations about her extraordinary career warrant attention.

  • Made in America: Exploring the Hollywood Western Red River (1948) – Notes on Cattle and Cowboys
    MADE IN AMERICA: EXPLORING THE HOLLYWOOD WESTERN RED RIVER (1948) – NOTES ON CATTLE AND COWBOYS TRANSCRIPT Red River (1948): Notes on Cattle and Cowboys Hollywood has done its part to iconize the American cowboy. At least 27 Hollywood films have depicted a fictional account of the first cattle drive along the Chisholm Trail, including The Texans released in 1938 directed by James P. Hogan and starring Randolph Scott and Joan Bennett. Red River which was released in 1948 starred John Wayne and Montgomery Clift. Coincidentally, Walter Brennan costarred in both films depicting cattle drives on the Chisholm Trail. Historical background is very useful when watching Red River so I thought I should talk today about cattle drives in the American West. They were a major economic activity in the nineteenth century particularly between 1866 and 1886 when twenty million cattle were herded from Texas to railheads in Kansas for shipment to stock yards in Chicago and points East. It would take as long as two months for the cattle to travel from a home ranch to a railhead. As early as 1836 ranchers in Texas began to drive cattle along a beef trail to New Orleans. Then in the 1840s cattle drives expanded northward into Missouri, the towns of Sedalia, Baxter Springs, Springfield and St. Louis became principle markets. The Shawnee Trail also known as the Texas Road or Texas Trail played a significant role in cattle drives as early as the 1840s. But by 1853, as three thousand cattle were trailed through Western Missouri local farmers blocked their passage and forced the herds to turn back because the Texas longhorns were carrying ticks that carried Texas fever.
