    Saturday, April 9, 2011; 2 & 8 pm only E.Y Harburg tune “Over the Rainbow” (which was almost cut from the picture) became Garland’s theme and a song that has attained cult status. Casting was not the only problem. The script was labored over by 16 writers, 13 of whom went uncredited including cast members Jack Haley and Bert Lahr, poet Ogden Nash, and screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz, who authored Citizen Kane (1941). The picture went through five directors (Norman Taurog, Mervyn LeRoy, George Cukor, Richard Thorpe and Victor Fleming), a ton of extras and they almost fried Margaret Hamilton in the effects created for the The Rocky Road to OZ Wicked Witch’s fiery exit. the time The Wizard of Oz premiered at Sid Grauman’s Chinese Theater on a summer night Yet despite the difficulties, and the initial lackluster box By in 1939, it had been staged successfully as a office,The Wizard of Oz was Oscar®-nominated for Best Broadway musical and three silent film versions had already Picture, Color Cinematography, Interior Decoration, and been released.

  • MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES and CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1994 MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994 A retrospective celebrating the seventieth anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the legendary Hollywood studio that defined screen glamour and elegance for the world, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 24, 1994. MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS comprises 112 feature films produced by MGM from the 1920s to the present, including musicals, thrillers, comedies, and melodramas. On view through September 30, the exhibition highlights a number of classics, as well as lesser-known films by directors who deserve wider recognition. MGM's films are distinguished by a high artistic level, with a consistent polish and technical virtuosity unseen anywhere, and by a roster of the most famous stars in the world -- Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Greta Garbo, and Spencer Tracy. MGM also had under contract some of Hollywood's most talented directors, including Clarence Brown, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, and King Vidor, as well as outstanding cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, and editors. Exhibition highlights include Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), Victor Fleming's Gone Hith the Hind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939), Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise (1991). Less familiar titles are Monta Bell's Pretty Ladies and Lights of Old Broadway (both 1925), Rex Ingram's The Garden of Allah (1927) and The Prisoner - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 of Zenda (1929), Fred Zinnemann's Eyes in the Night (1942) and Act of Violence (1949), and Anthony Mann's Border Incident (1949) and The Naked Spur (1953).

  • Les Campagnes Électorales À Travers Le Cinéma Français Et Américain
    Couverture : Affiche du film The Phantom President, 1932 Exposition « Élections » – Du lundi 10 avril au mardi 9 mai 2017 à la BU Paris Nanterre Les campagnes électorales à travers le cinéma français et américain Filmographie sélective Bibliothèque Universitaire ADAV, Allociné, IMDB, Première.fr, sens-critique.com, Télérama Les synopsis sont extraits des sites – Paris Nanterre consultés le 20 janvier 2017. Le cinéma… Un miroir le long de la route ... « Le cinéma nous apparaît comme un reflet du temps présent. On pourrait dire de lui ce que Stendhal disait du roman : c'est un miroir qu'on promène le long de la route ; l'époque s'y révèle avec ses façons de penser et de vivre, ses grandeurs et ses faiblesses, ses tourments, ses espoirs et ses rêves, sa physionomie enfin. Certes il est difficile de connaître son propre temps : l'homme d'aujourd'hui ne sera connu que par l'homme de demain qui pourra, grâce au recul historique, dessiner les traits définitifs de son visage, le reconstruire tel qu'il aura été, tel qu'il se sera fait par l'histoire. Pourtant bien des films portent déjà témoignage et ou pourrait dire qu'ils parlent davantage à notre esprit qu'ils ne le feront pour une postérité qui ne verra peut-être plus les choses comme nous et qui devra tenter d'abord de se comprendre elle-même. Le cinéma est capable de nous donner immédiatement et plus que les autres arts une idée de ce que nous sommes, nous les hommes de ce temps. Bien des films témoignent en effet des inquiétudes actuelles, du malaise de la conscience contemporaine, des difficultés du monde qui se fait sous nos yeux, de la crise que traverse une humanité à la recherche de son équilibre.

  • Jackie Cooper
    Jackie Cooper Titles: 49+ Sources: 10 Stills: 52 aka: Leonard Cooper Born: John Bigelow; Los Angeles, California; September 15th 1921/22 Son of studio production manager C.J. Bigelow; nephew of director Norman Taurog Homely puppy hits the Big Time – Cooper‟s big break was in “SKIPPY” Source: indeterminate “One day I‟ll be editor of the Daily Planet!” – Studio publicity shot Source: indeterminate website The snub-nosed tyke with truculent pout look was evidently a real winner in the thirties. Jackie Cooper had none of Coogan’s soulful vulnerability, none of Bartholomew’s precious decorousness. He hadn’t the sheer energy and vaudevillean versatility of Rooney, or the offhand prettiness of Dickie Moore and others. Analyising Cooper’s appeal is a puzzle. It cannot even in fairness be said of him that he was a talented child actor. In titles like “THE BOWERY” or “TREASURE ISLAND”, for example, his performance is servicable at best. Jackie Cooper was, as James Cagney famously characterised himself, a “bread and butter” actor, his everyman face and voice struck a chord with Depression-era audiences. He had few pretensions, worked hard, and put the bacon on the table. Behind him, as ever, a mother determined to get her son on the screen, in this case by a judicious fiddling of the studio books. In many of his best-remembered titles the young Cooper was teamed with burly aw-shucks Wallace Beery, and the studios obviously regarded them as something of an item, but in a revealing aside during a recent interview, Cooper indicated that Beery was actually quite offhand towards him when the cameras weren't turning, so they didn't hit it off at all so well as the screen gave out.

  • Film and Politics Winter 2018
    Political Science 410 Film and Politics Winter 2018 Professor Richard Davis 754 SWKT x2-7503 [email protected] Office Hours: Tuesdays 9-10: 45 am or by appointment Course Description This course explores the use of a mass medium - film - as a vehicle for communicating messages about political institutions and processes and the elites (primarily politicians) who are associated with them. Film is a new medium in the history of the world. One hundred years ago, film was a newly created vehicle for communicating with the mass audience. Today, mass market films reach hundreds of millions of people worldwide. This class is designed to analyze how directors use film to affect or reinforce political views or how they intentionally or unconsciously reflect certain ideas about politics in their films. We will address film’s portrayal of politicians, political institutions, political organizations, and political processes. The films we will survey primarily are feature films designed for a mass market. All have been released for theatre viewing. The questions we will answer over the semester center on the political motives of the film's director and then the ways these motives are transmitted through plot line, dialogue, music, visual images, camera angles, and various other cinematic techniques. Some questions we will continually ask throughout the semester include: What are the unstated assumptions of the film? What is the purpose of the film? From whose perspective is the story told? What other perspectives are not shown? Who is the hero (heroes) of the film? What political points does the director make? What is the historical and political context shaping the film? To what extent did the film affect the larger political environment? Course Objectives Students will be able to discern the existence of political messages of film, both intentional and unintentional.
