Contact: [email protected] Somewhere in the Night (Fox Home Entertainment, 9.6.2005) Unlike the other two recent entries in Fox’s film noir series, The House on 92nd Street and Whirlpool, Somewhere in the Night is unequivocally the real thing. With Norbert Brodine’s atmospheric lighting, rain-slicked streets (though set in Los Angeles), a swanky nightclub, a sultry torch singer, a villain with a foreign accent, a muscle-bound lug, and moral ambiguity to burn, Somewhere in the Night is a terrific example of the genre. George Taylor (John Hodiak) wakes up in a military field hospital in the Pacific with no memory of who he is. Returning to Los Angeles, Taylor, who instinctively knows this is not his real name, finds an old letter from his friend Larry Cravat and tries to track down Cravat to find out who he really his. With the help of singer Christy Smith (Nancy Guild), nightclub owner Mel Phillips (Richard Conte), and cop Lt. Donald Kendall (Lloyd Nolan), Taylor learns that Cravat and another man were involved in stealing $2 million in loot shipped to the United States by a Nazi officer.

    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE THE PREPARATION OF THE ROLE OF TOM MOODY IN CLIFFORD ODETS' GOLDEN BOY An essay submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Theatre by Robert T. Hollander June, 1981 The Essay of Robert T. Hollander is approved: Prof. c(§!g Nieuwenhuysel Dr. Georg~ Gunkle, Committee Chairman California State University, Northridge ii ABSTRACT THE PREPARATION OF THE ROLE OF TOM MOODY IN CLIFFORD ODETS' GOLDEN BOY by Robert T. Hollander Master of Arts in Theatre Golden Boy was first produced by the Group Theatre in New York in 1937. Directed by Harold Clurman, this 1937 production included in its cast names that were to become notable in the American theatre: Luther Adler, Frances Farmer, Lee J. Cobb, Jules (John) Garfield, Morris Carnovsky, Elia Kazan, Howard Da Silva and Karl Malden. Golden Boy quickly became the most successful production 1 in Group Theatre history and was followed in 1939 by the movie of the same name, starring William Holden and Barbara Stanwyck. Since then, there have been countless revivals, including a musical adaptation in 1964 which starred Sammy Davis Jr. Golden Boy certainly merits consideration as one of the classics of modern American drama. 1Harold Clurman, The Fervent Years: The Story of the Group Theatre and the Thirties. (New York: Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich. A Harvest Book, 1975), p. 211. 1 2 The decision to prepare the character of Torn Moody as a thesis project under the direction of Dr. George Gunkle was made during the spring semester of 1980 at which time I was performing a major role in The Knight of the Burning Pestle, a seventeenth century farce written by Beaumont and Fletcher.

  • Abortion As Metaphor
    ABORTION AS METAPHOR John J. Conley, S.J. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER is to analyze the symbolic function of abortion in two disparate works of art: Alfred Hitchcock’s film Lifeboat (1944) and Terrence McNally’s play Master Class (1994). At first glance, these two works might appear unlikely candidates for an exploration of the aesthetics of abortion. Neither work treats abortion as a primary theme. Neither elaborates a case for or against abortion. Indeed, neither even uses the word “abortion.” Nonetheless, in each work, abortion functions as a metaphor for a series of homicidal acts, both social and personal. LIFEBOAT Based upon a story by John Steinbeck,i Lifeboatii depicts the struggle for survival by nine people stranded on the Atlantic. Set in World War II, the film opens in the immediate aftermath of a U-boat attack upon an Allied freighter. In the cramped single set of a lifeboat, the survivors battle nature, their conflicting temperaments, and, finally, the brutal enigma of the Nazi creed. In the opening scene the journalist Constance Porter (Tallulah Bankhead) sits perfectly coiffed in the lifeboat as she films the wreckage of the attack. The lifeboat gradually fills with other survivors: John Kovac (John Hodiak), a Communist engineer; Stanley Garrett (Hume Cronyn), a radio operator; Alice MacKenzie (Mary Anderson), a nurse; Charles “Ritt” Rittenhouse (Henry Hull), a millionaire businessman; Gus Smith (William Bendix), a merchant marine; “Joe” Spencer (Canada Lee), an African-American steward; and Mrs. Higgins, a shock victim from the obliteration bombings of Bristol who brings her dead baby aboard.

  • Hollywood and American Politics: the Play's the Thing
    Review Essay Hollywood and American Politics: The Play's the Thing Sam B. Girgus RONALD REAGAN IN HOLLYWOOD: Movies and Politics. By Stephen Vaughn. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 1994. November 1948 marked the beginning of Ronald Reagan's winter of discontent. He was in London to make a movie with Patricia Neal and Richard Todd, but he could not anticipate this overseas assignment with enthusiasm and hope. He was, in fact, in the depths of personal and professional despair. Cast as the second male lead in this movie, The Hasty Heart, he faced a dubious future as an actor who could neither reach nor sustain the pinnacle of Hollywood stardom that he sought. Equally devastating to him was the condition of his marriage to Jane Wyman. The marriage, which had been publicized as so successful that it could serve as a model for moviegoers, in reality meant a great deal to Reagan, providing him with a sense of well-being and happiness. However, it was at this point doomed, a victim of the reverse directions of Reagan's and Wyman's careers as she moved toward ever greater financial and professional ascendancy. As Stephen Vaughn writes in this important and impressive study of the melding of politics and personality, Patricia Neal, the female star of The Hasty Heart, "remembered him in tears at a New Year's Eve party. 'It was sad,' she said, 'because he did not want a divorce.'" (229) He tried in London to come to terms with what he called his " 'lonely inner world. ' " (229) 0026-3079/93/3601-115$1.50/0 115 To later critics of Reagan' s politics and influence, it might come as a surprise that he had any "inner world" at all.

  • Pioneer Film Director Honored / HENRY KING
    The Museum of Modern Art 'iWest 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modemart NO. 57 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PIONEER FILM DIRECTOR HONORED SEVEN WEEK RETROSPECTIVE FOR HENRY KING CO-SPONSORED BY MUSEUM AND DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA "...the most underpublicized filmmaker in Hollywood. This tall, lean, handsome, urbane, but unflamboyant model of a corporation president makes film hits so easily, so efficiently, and so calmly that he is not news in a community of blaring trumpets, crashing cymbals and screaming egos." -Frank Capra Henry King, one of the founding fathers of American film, who began his career early in the century, remains today one of the legendary figures in Hollywood, and though he preserves his privacy, his films such as "The Song of Bernadette," "Twelve O'clock High" and "The Gunfighter" speak for themselves, and these and other major works will be part of a seven week retrospective given in King's honor by New York's Museum of Modern Art in association with the Directors Guild of America. The Virginia-born director, who has specialized, like D.W. Griffith and John Ford, in Americana themes since his first classic, "Tol'able David," and later with "State Fair", "In Old Chicago," "Jesse James" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band," will make a trip from the West Coast to New York to participate in the opening of this program. On June 29 and 30, he will address the Museum audiences, although he seldom makes public appearances. While he contributed to Hollywood's worldwide reputation, King, who recognized such early superstars as Richard Barthelmess, Ronald Colman and Gary Cooper and gave them their first leading roles on the screen, has managed to retain his relative anonymity in an ostentatious environment.

    Harbin_Text.qxd 12/3/2004 12:50 PM Page 252 Laurents’s ability to direct is more often lauded than his writing. He regularly unites all elements of the production—music, voice, setting, movement, and picturization—to create vibrant dramatic moments. The understanding of structure and character honed in his writing assists in drawing out fully human characterizations. His ability to ‹nd new or Laurents underutilized talent—Jane Fonda in Invitation to a March, Lansbury in 252 Anyone Can Whistle, George Hearn in La Cage aux Folles—signi‹es an astute eye and ensures his lasting in›uence. A very sexual man—his ‹rst gay experience was at thirteen and he was more interested in quantity of partners than quality for many years— Laurents struggled with his homosexuality in psychotherapy, keeping it out of his play Heartsong (1946) and claiming that he would have excluded it as a subtext from Home of the Brave (Laurents, 65, 53). At the same time, he accepted his homosexuality and is proud of how “truth- fully” it was treated in his ‹rst movie, Rope (131). There are biographical aspects of his work to explore (particularly in The Enclave), as well as the- matic obsessions, such as the ‹gure of the complicated, boyish blond (i.e., the major in Home of the Brave, the disillusioned artist in Time of the Cuckoo, the characters played by Hatcher, and Robert Redford’s Hubbell in The Way We Were). Laurents has identi‹ed his own recurrent themes as discovery, acceptance, prejudice, and betrayal (4)—themes with which any homosexual can empathize.
