  • Pandora-Eve-Ava: Albert Lewin's Making of a “Secret
    PANDORA-EVE-AVA: ALBERT LEWIN’S MAKING OF A “SECRET GODDESS” Almut-Barbara Renger Introduction The myth of the primordial woman, the artificially fabricated Pandora, first related in the early Greek poetry of Hesiod, has proven extremely influential in the European history of culture, ideas, literature, and art from antiquity to the present day. Not only did the mythical figure itself undergo numerous refunctionalizations, but, in a striking manner, partic- ular elements of the narrative in the Theogony (Theogonia) and in Works and Days (Opera et dies) – for example, the jar, which would later be con- ceived as a box – also took on a life of their own and found their place in ever new cultural contexts. Having been drawn out from the “plot” (in the Aristotelian sense of μῦθος), these elements formed separate strands of reception that at times interfered with each other and at other times diverged. In the twentieth century such myth-elements also developed a distinc- tive dynamic of their own in film. Albert Lewin’s Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1951) offers a particularly original conception of the Pandora myth by interweaving its elements with the legend of the Flying Dutch- man and plotting it into a story that takes place around 1930.1 It is the story of a young American woman, Pandora Reynolds, “bold and beautiful, desired by every man who met her” – so goes the original trailer of 1951, which opens with some introductory remarks about glamour by Hedda Hopper.2 Lewin’s intermingling of the Pandora myth and the Dutch legend in a love story of the 1950s is in many ways bold and original.

  • No Oscar for the Oscar? Behind Hollywood's Walk of Greed
    Networking Knowledge 7(4) All About Oscar No Oscar for the Oscar? Behind Hollywood’s Walk of Greed ELIZABETH CASTALDO LUNDEN, Stockholm University ABSTRACT In 1966 the popular interest in the Academy Awards propelled Paramount Pictures to produce The Oscar (Embassy Pictures-Paramount Pictures, 1966), a film based on the homonymous novel by Richard Sale. The Oscar tells the story of an unscrupulous actor willing to do anything in his power to obtain the golden statuette, regardless of whom he has to take down along the way. Building up on fantasies of social mobility, we see the protagonist (Frankie) display his vanity, arrogance and greed to create a less than likeable character whose only hope to put his career back on track lies in obtaining the precious statuette. The movie intends to be a sneak peek behind the scenes of the biggest award ceremony, but also behind the lifestyle of the Hollywood elites, their glory and their misery as part of the Hollywood disposal machinery. Despite not being financed or officially supported by the Academy, the film intertwines elements of fiction and reality by using real footage of the event, and featuring several contemporary representatives of the movie industry such as Edith Head, Hedda Hopper, Frank and Nancy Sinatra, playing cameo roles, adding up to the inter- textual capacities of the story. Head’s participation was particularly exploited for the promotion of the film, taking advantage of her position at Paramount, her status as a multiple winner, and her role as a fashion consultant for the Academy Awards. This paper is an analytical account of the film’s production process.

    Prologue September 1941 In hollywood it was a difficult time. Though film attendance was at an all-time high—that year eighty-five million tickets were sold each week—the major studios were under attack. The war in Europe and Asia had led to a decline in foreign markets, the House Un-American Activities Com- mittee was investigating the alleged involvement of several prominent actors with communism, and a Senate commission accused Hollywood of war- mongering by making films that promoted U.S. intervention in the overseas conflict. Moreover, the Federal Communications Commission had allowed regular commercial television broadcasting to begin on July 1, 1941, panick- ing those in Hollywood who saw the new medium as potentially formidable competition.1 Louella, too, had struggled that year. In the spring, Orson Welles’s Citizen Kane, a scathing attack on her employer, William Randolph Hearst, had been released in theaters across the nation. Americans watched Welles’s onscreen portrayal of a manipulative, megalomaniacal Hearst, and they read in na- tional publications about Louella’s conniving attempts to suppress the film. The New York Times and Newsweek described Louella as a vicious opponent of free speech who used her power to carry out her employer’s tyrannical wishes. Shortly afterward, the Screen Actors’ Guild launched an attack on her, publicly condemning her refusal to pay actors who appeared on her radio show and calling her an enemy of the film industry. Though Louella’s world- wide readership of nearly twenty million was more than triple that of her pri- mary rival, Hedda Hopper, pundits predicted that it would not be long until Hopper surpassed her and became the new first lady of Hollywood.

  • Dan Duryea Page 1 Of6
    Dan Duryea Page 1 of6 Dan Duryea - Charming Villain By Frank Dolven Dan Duryea was typecast by his own skill. He was almost too good at creating disturbing portraits of pathological villains, especially in film noir roles. In real life, he was an old-fashioned family man, the opposite of his screen persona. He was born in White Plains, New York, on January 23, 1907, and was educated at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. In the 1930s he worked in advertising before finding his true calling. He made his acting debut on Broadway in Sidney Kingsley's Dead End . He won critical acclaim for his role as the weakling "Leo Hubbard" in Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes on Broadway in 1939. Hollywood scouts took notice of his remarkable performance. Soon he was playing "Leo" in William Wyler's film version of the play. With his slicked-back blonde hair and malicious smile, he became the premier louse of the movies. He developed a repertoire of understated body language with a shrug of the shoulders, a slight raising of the eyebrow, a twitch of the mouth, and a subtle "take-it-or- leave-it-or-go-to-hell" movement of the hand. Duryea became a master, playing to the camera, "as he wielded his reedy, high voice like an irritating, cutting scimitar," one critic wrote. He left many gems among performances in over 70 films spanning 47 years. Film buffs especially remember him for his odious treatment of women. In an interview with Hedda Hopper in the early '50s, Duryea gave a very interesting answer when Miss Hopper asked how he prepared for roles.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Research, Rhetoric, and the Cinematic Events of Cecil B. DeMille A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Satisfaction of the Requirement for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy In Film and Television by Philip Joseph Wagner 2016 ©Copyright by Philip Joseph Wagner 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Research, Rhetoric, and the Cinematic Events of Cecil B. DeMille By Philip Joseph Wagner Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Chon A. Noriega, Chair This dissertation looks to the career of epic cinema pioneer Cecil B. DeMille in order to grasp the role of the research department in the Hollywood studio system. Situated at the intersections of three areas of study—scholarship on the form and social function of popular historical representation; theorizing on the archive as a site of knowledge production; and studies on film authorship that attend to the historical underpinnings of aesthetic choices—the dissertation explores the following questions in particular: What were the industrial standards on which studio researchers based the success and authenticity of their work? And what can we know about the research process as it relates to the production and reception of DeMille’s brand of spectacular cinema? ii I offer this study as an intervention into previous scholarship on research practice in Hollywood, which too often stresses cinema’s divergence from the factual record and draws a rigid binary between academia’s histories and the “unprofessional” ones derived from research departments. This study takes a different approach by examining a wider range of archival materials, including studio library circulation records, scaled prop sketches based on photographs and artifacts, and researcher correspondence with historical consultants and museum curators.

In the 1950s, Confidential was the founder of tabloid, celebrity journalism in the United States. With screaming headlines and bold, scandalous accusations of illicit sex, crime, and other misdeeds, Confidential destroyed celebrities’ reputations, relation- ships, and careers. Not a single major star of the time was spared the “Confidential treatment”: Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Liberace, and Marlon Brando, among others, were exposed in the pages of the magazine. 1 Using hidden tape recorders, zoom lenses, and private investigators and prostitutes as “informants,” publisher Robert Harrison set out to destroy stars’ carefully constructed media images, and in so doing, built a media empire. Between 1955 and 1957, Confidential was the most popular, bestselling magazine in the nation.
