Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption there's a guy like me in every state and federal prison in America, I think -- I'm the guy who can get it for you. Tailor made a cigarette, a sack of riffer, if you aside from this, a bottle of cognac to celebrate your son or daughter in high school graduation, or anything else within reason, that is. It wasn't always like that. I came to Shawshank when I was only twenty and I am one of the few people in our happy little family willing to own up to what he did. I committed a murder. I installed a large insurance policy on my wife - who was three years older than me - and then I set the brakes on the Chevrolet coupe her father gave us as awedding present. It worked out exactly as I had planned - except that I didn't plan for her to stop to pick up a neighbor's woman and the son of a neighbor woman on the way down Castle Hill and into town. The brakes were released and carcrashed through the bushes on the outskirts of the city overall, the speed of the collection. Passers-by said he must have been making fifty or better when he hit the base of the Civil War statue and caught fire. I also didn't plan on getting caught, but caught me. I have a seasonal pass to this place. Maine has no death penalty, but the district attorney saw to him that I was tried for all three deaths and received three life sentences to run one after the other. This has documented any on parole, which I could have had for a long, long time. The judge called what I am made a disgusting, heinous crime and it was; but it's also in the past now. You can watch it in the yellowing files of Castle Rock Call, where the big headlines announcing my belief looksort funny and antique next to the news of Hitler and Mussolini and FDR'salphabet soup agencies. I've rehabilitated myself, you ask? I don't even know what that word means as far as prisons and corrections are concerned. I think that's the word politics. It may have some other meaning, and it's possible that I'll have a chance to find out, but it's the future - something of a disadvantage to teach myself not to think. I was young, looking good, and from a poor part of town. I knocked down, grinning, stubborn girl who lived in one of the beautiful old houses on Carbin Street. Her father was willing to marry if I wanted to take a jobin optical company he owned and work my way up. I learned that what here meant, kept me in his house and under my thumb like an adisagreeable pet that is not quite a household and which can bite. Enoughhate eventually piled up to get me to do what I did. Given the second chance, I wouldn't do it again, but I'm not sure that means I'm rehabilitated. Anyway, it's not me, I want to tell you about; I want to tell you about a guy named Andy Dufresne. But before I can tell you about Andy, I have to explain afew other things about myself. It won't take long. Like I said, I've been the guy who can get it for you here in Shawshank for a heck of forty years. And that doesn't just mean contraband items such as extra 1cigarettes or booze, although these items are always top of the list. But I've got other items for men doing time here, some of them are perfectly legalyet hard to find in a place where you were supposedly brought to bepunished. There was one guy who was raping a little girl and exposing himself to dozens of others; I got him three pieces of pink Vermont marble and he made three lovely sculptures of them - a kid, a boy about twelve years old, and an abearded young man. He called them Three Centuries of Jesus, and these parts of the cult are now in the living room of a man who was once the governor of that state. Or here's a name you remember if you grew up north of Massachusetts-RobertAlan Cat. In 1951, he tried to rob the First Commodity Bank of Mechanical Falls, and the seizure turned into a bloodbath - six dead in the end, two of them gang members, three of them hostages, one of them a young state policeman who put his head in the wrong time and was shot in the eye. Cat had a penny collection. Naturally, they weren't going to let him have him here, but with the help of his mother and the middleman who used to drive the laundry I was able to get it for him. I told him, Bobby, you must be crazy, wanting to have a collection of coins in a stone hotel full of thieves. He looked at me with me. and said, I know where to keep them. They'll be safe. Don't be inspired. And he was right. Bobby the Cat died of a brain tumor in 1967, but this coin never appeared. I got men's candy for Valentine's Day; I got three of these greenmilkshakes they serve at McDonald's around St. Paddy's Day for the crazy Irishmannamed O'Malley; I even organized a midnight screening of Deep Throat and TheDevil's Miss Jones to a party of twenty people who pooled their resources torent movies . although I ended up doing a week in solitary for this antics. It's a risk that you risk when you're the guy who can get it. I've got handbooks and fuck-books, jokes novelties like hand buzzers and itchy powder, and on more than one occasion I've seen that longtime hasgotten pair of panties from his wife or his girlfriend . and I think you'll know what the guys here do with such elements for long nights when time pulls out like a blade. I don't get all these things for free, and for someitems the price comes high. But I don't just do it for money; what good is that money for me? I will never own a Cadillac car or fly to Jamaica for two weeks in February. I do it for the same reason that a good butcher will only give you fresh meat: I've gained a reputation and I want to keep it. The only two I refuse to handle are guns and heavy drugs. I'm not going to help anyone kill myself or anyone else. I've had enough murders to work on all my life. Yes, I'm just Neiman-Marcus. And when Andy Dufresne came to me in 1949 and asked if I could bring Rita Hayworth to prison for him, I said it wouldn't be a problem. And it wasn't. 2II When Andy came to Shawshank in 1948, he was thirty years old. He was a short, neat little man with sandy hair and small, smart hands. He wore gold frames. His nails were always cut and they were always clean. It's a funny thing to remember about a man, I suppose, but it seems to be sumAndy for me. He always looked like he was supposed to wear a tie. On the side, he was vice president of the trust management of a major Portland bank. Good job for a man as young as he was, especially when you consider how conservative most banks are . and you have to multiply that conservatism byten when you get to New England where people don't like to trust a man with that money if he's bald, limping, and constantly plucking on his pants to get his farm around right. Andy was behind the murder of his wife and her lover. Like I said, everyone in prison is an innocent man. Oh, they read this scripture the way these holy videos on TV read the Book of Revelation.They were victims of judges with stone hearts and balls to match, orincompetent lawyers, or frames, or bad luck. They read the scriptures, but you can see another scripture in the Face. Most of the cons are low sort, not good for themselves or anyone else, and their worst luck is that their matists carried them to term. In all my years, there were fewer than ten people in Shawshank, whom I believed when I was told they were innocent.

Gilda's Gowns Fashioning the Femme Fatale in Film Noir Rachel Anne Wise The 1940s brought the rise of a cynical, nihilistic film form in America, stereo­ typically characterized by its hardboiled detective crime plot starring a dominat­ ing female adorned in a black slinky dress with a pistol in her purse, seducing men and masterminding plots of cruelty and greed. This genre, film noir, grew out of the ashes of post-WWII America, lasting through the 19 50s and satisfying the growing market for pessimistic and violent thrillers. 1 Film noir has generated much scholarship since its mid-century inception, particularly for feminists, with the landmark publication of Laura Mulvey's 197 5 "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema," an article that analyzed the male gaze, explicit voyeuristic elements, and inherent misogyny within the genre. Using a Freudian and Lacanian lens, she claimed that the femme fatale character, or "fatal woman," symbolized the ominous threat of castration.

  • THE LADY from SHANGHAI, the Naïve Protagonist Michael O’Hara (Orson Welles) and the Oily Schemer George Grisby (Glenn Anders) Climb a Hill Overlooking the Ocean
    TREASURES FROM THE YALE FILM ARCHIVE THURSDAY AN ONGOING SERIES OF CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY FILMS PRESENTED IN 35MM BY THE YALE FILM STUDY CENTER APRIL 30, 2015 7:00PM • WHITNEY HUMANITIES CENTER PRESENTED WITH SUPPORT FROM THE LADYThe Lady fromFROM Shanghai SHANGHAIPAUL L. JOSKOW ’70 M.PHIL., ’72 PH.D. About midpoint in THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI, the naïve protagonist Michael O’Hara (Orson Welles) and the oily schemer George Grisby (Glenn Anders) climb a hill overlooking the ocean. After Grisby gives an unsettling hint of his bizarre plan, he seems to enter a trance and then abruptly vanishes beneath the frame. As James Naremore describes the moment: “O’Hara seems to be hanging vertiginously in midair, his image twisted out of shape by the camera to a degree few Hollywood films of the period had attempted.” It’s a hallucinatory scene in a film filled with them, including one in an aquarium where monstrous sea creatures background a lovers’ furtive rendezvous, and the crazy house/mirror-maze denouement, justly celebrated as one of cinema’s greatest tours de force. Grisby’s disappearance resembles the magician’s trick of having someone vanish through a trap door, and reminds us of o. the director’s lifelong interest in magic. In addition to performing extensively as a stage magician, he was the illusionist who N convinced millions that Martians had landed in New Jersey, who orchestrated numerous optical tricks in his debut feature, 11 CITIZEN KANE, and whose final major film, F FOR FAKE, is simultaneously a study of fakery and a dazzling piece of -de ception itself.

    Welcome to… • FILM NOIR Thi Today’s Movie… From 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die •Orson Welles…picking up almost at random a pulp novel and delivering something so rich and strange it was guaranteed to irk Columbia head Harry Cohn. From The New York Times review: • …the Wellesian ability to direct a good cast against fascinating backgrounds has never been better displayed. And for its sheer visual modeling of burning passions in faces, forms and attitudes, galvanized within picturesque surroundings, it might almost match Citizen Kane. •Note: Notwithstanding the above rave, The NYT did not like the movie. Rita Hayworth on Orson Welles • “Orson was the best director I ever worked with and I’m not saying that just because I was married to him. Actually, he is a better director than he is an actor, though he’d kill me if he heard me say it.” (Chicago Tribune, August 21, 1969) Rita Hayworth on Harry Cohn (Pres. of Columbia Pictures) •“Orson was trying something new with me, but Harry Cohn wanted ‘The Image,’ that image he was going to make me use until I was ninety. The Lady from Shanghai was a very good picture. So what does Harry Cohn say when he sees it: ‘He’s cut your hair off! He’s ruined you!’” (The NYT, Oct. 25, 1970) Harry Cohn on seeing the final cut of The Lady from Shanghai: •“I’ll give one thousand dollars to anyone who can explain this thing to me!” From Dark City by Eddie Muller: • Welles may have had the attention span of a six-year-old, but he never crafted mere diversions.

  • Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release June 1990 Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965 July 1 - September 11, 1990 This summer, The Museum of Modern Art pays tribute to Twentieth Century Fox with a retrospective of over ninety films made between 1935 and 1965. Opening on July 1, 1990, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX: 1935-1965 traces three key decades in the history of the studio, celebrating the talents of the artists on both sides of the cameras who shaped this period. The exhibition continues through September 11. Formed in 1915, the Fox Film Corporation merged in 1935 with the much younger Twentieth Century to launch a major new studio. Under the supervision of Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century Fox developed a new house style, emphasizing epic biographies such as John Ford's The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936) and Allan Dwan's Suez (1938) and snappy urban pictures such as Sidney Lanfield's Hake Up and Live (1937) and Roy Del Ruth's Thanks a Million (1935). The studio also featured such fresh screen personalities as Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, and Shirley Temple. From this time on, the studio masterfully anticipated and shaped the tastes of the movie-going public. During World War II, Twentieth Century Fox made its mark with a series of exuberant Technicolor musicals featuring such actresses as Betty Grable and Carmen Miranda. After the war, the studio shifted focus and began to highlight other genres including films noirs such as Edmund Goulding's Nightmare Alley (1947) and Otto Preminger's Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950), wry satirical films such as Joseph L.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FRANK SINATRA SERIES HIGHLIGHTS PERFORMER’S ACCOMPLISHED FILM CAREER August 12–September 4, 2011 Frank Sinatra was one of the most popular and influential entertainers of the 20th century. His phenomenal success and influence was not limited to his career as a recording artist; he was also an accomplished movie star with surprising range as an actor. From August 12 through September 4, 2011, Museum of the Moving Image will present the four-weekend series The Films of Frank Sinatra celebrating Sinatra’s legacy as a performer on the big screen. The Museum will show a dozen of his finest films, ranging from musicals (On the Town, Pal Joey, Guys and Dolls) to dark melodramas (Suddenly!, The Manchurian Candidate, The Man with the Golden Arm) to war and action movies (From Here to Eternity, Von Ryan’s Express). Among the series highlights is a rare theatrical screening of Suddenly!, a 1954 thriller that eerily foreshadowed the JFK assassination, with Sinatra as a cold-blooded assassin who plots to kill the President (August 13); Vincente Minnelli’s powerful widescreen melodrama Some Came Running (August 27 and 28), starring Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Shirley MacLaine; and the Rat Pack movies Ocean’s Eleven (September 3 and 4) and Robin and the 7 Hoods (September 2 and 3). Frank Sinatra turned to working in film in the 1940s, just a few years after achieving success as a singer. His early musical comedies, costarring Gene Kelly—including the classic On the Town (1949), filmed largely on location in New York City—were box office smashes.

Puttin’ on the Glitz: Hollywood’s Influence on Fashion examines the major impact that Hollywood had and continues to have over fashion. This exciting exhibit highlights films and designers from Hollywood’s golden years through the 20th century, all presented within a historical context. Items on display include significant books, journals, images, videos, and movie posters from the Libraries’ collections, and stunning costumes from UCI’s drama department. The curator is Becky Imamoto, Research Librarian for History. I hope you enjoy the exhibit and return to view others in the future. Gerald L. Lowell Interim University Librarian - 3 - this exhibit examines the history of Hollywood costume design from its inception to the end of the 20th century. In the early 1910s, costume design was little more than an afterthought, with silent screen actresses providing costumes from their personal wardrobes. However, during the Golden Age (1930- 1959), Hollywood realized how much publicity and money could be generated through its promotion of new fashion designs, and so set to work building an image of splendor, luxury, and endless consumption. Hollywood was, and is, a powerful social force that determines what is considered by the rest of the world to be beautiful and glamorous.
