  • FLM 34 — Film Noir: the Femme Fatale in 1940S and 1950S Film Instructor: Mick Lasalle
    Preliminary Syllabus Spring 2017 FLM 34 — Film Noir: The Femme Fatale in 1940s and 1950s Film Instructor: Mick LaSalle Course Summary: One of the major messages of film noir is that sex can kill you . but it might be worth it anyway. This notion, cynical and yet naïvely romantic, recedes and returns in American life. By the end of this class, students will not only have seen the signature noir films centering on evil or destructive women, but they will understand how these films fit into the history of women on screen and the social history of the United States in the 20th century. The point is that these films are fun, but they didn’t come out of nowhere, and there weren’t symptoms of nothing. They are fun, but they represented a combination of conflicting impulses and aspirations -- as expressions of power and fantasy for both women and men, but also of a social pathology. Having taken this course, students will be familiar with the key players and films of the era, but will also be able to take their knowledge and find greater satisfaction and substance in the noir and women’s films they see thereafter. Syllabus (Subject to Change): Week One: Femme fatale origins. Bara, Naldi, Garbo, Dietrich. Week Two: Jane Greer Week Three: Joan Bennett Week Four: Lizabeth Scott Week Five: Claire Trevor Week Six: Jean Gillie and Ann Savage Week Seven: French Noir (noir without censorship): Mylene Demongeot Preliminary Syllabus Spring 2017 Week Eight: Rita Hayworth Week Nine: Late film noir Week Ten: Noir revival of the 1980s and 1990s and the AIDS connection .

  • Monday 25 July 2016, London. Ahead of Kirk Douglas' 100Th Birthday This
    Monday 25 July 2016, London. Ahead of Kirk Douglas’ 100th birthday this December, BFI Southbank pay tribute to this major Hollywood star with a season of 20 of his greatest films, running from 1 September – 4 October 2016. Over the course of his sixty year career, Douglas became known for playing iconic action heroes, and worked with the some of the greatest Hollywood directors of the 1940s and 1950s including Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks, Vincente Minnelli and Stanley Kubrick. Films being screened during the season will include musical drama Young Man with a Horn (Michael Curtiz, 1949) alongside Lauren Bacall and Doris Day, Stanley Kubrick’s epic Spartacus (1960), Champion (Mark Robson, 1949) for which he received the first of three Oscar® nominations for Best Actor, and the sci- fi family favourite 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Richard Fleischer, 1954). The season will kick off with a special discussion event Kirk Douglas: The Movies, The Muscles, The Dimple; this event will see a panel of film scholars examine Douglas’ performances and star persona, and explore his particular brand of Hollywood masculinity. Also included in the season will be a screening of Seven Days in May (John Frankenheimer, 1964) which Douglas starred in opposite Ava Gardner; the screening will be introduced by English Heritage who will unveil a new blue plaque in honour of Ava Gardner at her former Knightsbridge home later this year. Born Issur Danielovich into a poor immigrant family in New York State, Kirk Douglas began his path to acting success on a special scholarship at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, where he met Betty Joan Perske (later to become better known as Lauren Bacall), who would play an important role in helping to launch his film career.

"On screen he was the Pied Piper; Elizabeth Taylor's lover, he was a war pilot with Spencer Tracy," writes his friend and decorator Carleton Varney in the introduction for Van Johnson's Hollywood: A Family Album. Along the way, his wife, Evie Wynn Johnson, an amateur shutterbug captured behind- the-scenes images of their friends, some of Hollywood's most famous stars, such as Gary Cooper, Judy Garland, and Humphrey Bogart on the road, on the set, around the pool, and at their Hollywood home. She put together these casual and candid images in a family album that has never been published before. Their daughter, Schuyler adds her memories to this unique document of Hollywood's Golden Age.

  • Historical Backgrounder
    HISTORICAL BACKGROUNDER Nestled in the canyons of Los Angeles, Hotel Bel-Air has been a hideaway for world travelers for well over half a century. A visionary significant in the development of the area, Alphonso E. Bell created Bel-Air Estates in 1922. Bell acquired over 600 acres west of the city of Los Angeles, naming his new purchase “Bel-Air.” Determined that the estates would become an exclusive and upscale neighborhood, he enhanced the surrounding area with new roads, utilities, a country club and lush, exotic vegetation. What is now Hotel Bel-Air’s main mission-style building was originally built as Bell’s estate planning and sales offices. These offices were located next to the Bel-Air Stables where residents could board their horses and enjoy the miles of equestrian trails winding throughout the canyons. For the next few decades Bell’s dream flourished. In 1946 Joseph Drown, a hotel entrepreneur from Texas, purchased 18 acres, and the land offices, and began plans to create an elegant pastoral hotel hideaway encompassing most of the land. Drown immediately hired architect Burton Schutt to convert the buildings and construct the 62 rooms of what was to become Hotel Bel-Air. Drown transformed the grounds into lush, beautiful gardens, adding Swan Lake to the picturesque front lawn. He had a vision of creating a natural California oasis, planting palms, ficus trees and perennial blooms. Drown also closed the Stone Canyon stables and built the sparkling oval-shaped pool at the site of the original riding ring. The hotel opened on August 24, 1946.

    THE WILSON QUARTERLY Rerunning Film Noir As Americans embraced the future after World War II, they enter- tained themselves with cinematic visions of mean streets and sordid pasts.
