    6. CAMINO HACIA LA APATÍA En octubre de 1947, cuando la Guerra Fría se estaba haciendo más glacial por momentos, un puñado de con- gresistas norteamericanos constituyeron el Comité de Acti- vidades Anti-Americanas, un grupo más conocido por su acrónimo peyorativo «HUAC» (House Committee on Un- American Activities), abrió formalmente una investigación en la industria de Hollywood. Liderado por el republicano de New Yersey J. Parnell Thomas, el Comité decidió identi- ficar a los trabajadores del cine que podían haber estado asociados en algún momento al Partido Comunista y, en su opinión, habían tratado de subvertir el cine. Para conse- guirlo, el Comité siguió básicamente una estrategia de do- ble filo: «coquetearon» con un número de «testigos amis- tosos» de Hollywood, bastante deseosos de dar nombres por cualquier razón (para expresar sus propias creencias conservadoras, para preservar su sentido de la industria del cine, para saldar viejas cuentas o simplemente para salvar sus propios pellejos), y discutieron con aquellos que habían sido llamados los «testigos no amistosos». Como el presidente Thomas les ordenaba silencio con el martillo de juez a estos últimos, siempre y cuando ellos comenza- ran respondiendo creativamente a la pregunta «¿Eres o has sido alguna vez miembro del Partido Comunista?», es- taba claro que su destino había sido determinado antes de que comenzaran las audiencias. Nació entonces la era de las listas negras de Hollywood, un período colmado de ac- ciones políticas que tendría serias repercusiones en el Cine del Aislamiento. Como se señaló en el capítulo anterior, los ejecutivos de producción se habían dado cuenta hacia el final de la gue- rra de que existía un mercado real para las películas que trataban con las víctimas de las enfermedades de la socie- dad, pero habían llevado a los tribunales a guionistas y di- rectores conocidos por sus puntos de vista liberales.

    26 NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2010 MEL BROOKS KING OF THE (POLITICALLY DNC©IRIRECT Mel Brooks, the unchallenGed king of Jewish satire, was born Melvin Kaminsky in WilliamsburG, Brooklyn. The 84-year-old funnyman, film director, sonGwriter and Broadway record- setter believes comedy has the power to transform ugly facts of life such as Jewish persecution into somethinG understandable—and even beautiful. Coming from the man who brouGht the world a musical number about the Spanish Inquisition, the handy miniature Guillotine for on- the-Go circumcisions and the absurdist sonG, Springtime for Hitter, this view is no surprise. Brooks opens up to Moment about his shock upon discovering that most Americans were not Jewish, his experiences as a soldier in World War II (he serenaded German soldiers over a meGaphone on the battlefield), and why he thinks Jewish humor is dead.

  • Indian Nuts! the American Indian Musical Genre, 1934-1950
    1 Indian Nuts! The American Indian Musical Genre, 1934-1950 Kelsey Brannan B.A. Film and Media Studies UC Santa Barbara M.A. Candidate, Communication, Culture & Technology Georgetown University 2 Abstract This paper traces the popular development of the American Indian Musical Genre between 1934 -1950. The first part of this paper discusses the development of American Indian musical genre and is followed by a contextualized formal analysis of three American Indian musical numbers in two films: (i) Life Begins in College (Seiter 1937) and (ii) Annie Get Your Gun (Sidney 1950). Drawing from film theory, I argue that the presentational values of these American Indian musical numbers, such as the elaborate staging, Indian costume design, and musical qualities, underscore Hollywood’s promotion of an imagined national harmony between American Indians and the wider American population, despite the corrupt government policies and motion picture censorship. I also discuss how the influence of California slapstick, a style of comedy involving exaggerated movements and violence, externalizes and displaces the perpetual exoticism of the Indian. Lastly, drawing from John Howard Lawson’s book Hidden Heritage, I examine the way in which the replacement of American Indian performers with non-native Broadway stars, such as Betty Hutton, Joan Davis, and The Ritz Brothers, not only underscores the “white” man’s desire to be native, but also shows Hollywood’s dependency on packaging and selling “Indianness” for a profit. Keywords: ethnic representation, musical numbers, slapstick comedy, autochthony, identity politics, 3 “The sound of Indian was so familiar it was like sonic wallpaper, only dimly heard as anything other than completely natural” - John Troutman (Indian Blues, 2009, 156) While conducting archival research at the Margaret Herrick Library, I stumbled upon the staging notes for Rose-Marie (W.S.
