  • The Black Tent
    The Black Tent (1956) and Bengazi (1955): The Image of Arabs in Two Post-Empire Journeys into the Deserts of Libya Richard Andrew Voeltz [email protected] Cameron University Volume 7.1 (2018) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2018.200 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract These two little known films are both part of the cycle of post-imperial films dealing with the decline of the British Empire. They are perhaps the only films set in or near the historical period of the British Military Administration of Libya after 1945. The Black Tent frequently gets lumped in with the genre of World War II British war films. Bengazi marks the cinematic journey of the actor Victor McLaglen from The Lost Patrol (1934) to Bengazi (1955), his career encapsulating the beginning and end of the Hollywood British Empire film genre. Both films contain redemptive dramatic journeys into the deserts of Libya involving the loss of British imperial male power. The case studies of The Black Tent and Bengazi show the beginnings of new post-empire film genres and new mentalities toward the Arab “Other” that partially promotes a decolonization of western cinema.

The Black Tent (1956) and Bengazi (1955): The Image of Arabs in Two Post-Empire Journeys into the Deserts of Libya Richard Andrew Voeltz The Black Tent (1956, British) and Bengazi (1955, American) are perhaps the only feature films set in the last days of the British Military Administration of Libya from 1945 to 1951.

  • 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.

    The Museum of Modern Art ^R ^MEDIATE RELEASE U West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart MUSEUM PAYS TRIBUTE TO VETERAN HOLLYWOOD DIRECTOR HENRY HATHAWAY Henry Hathaway, 75-year-old Hollywood director, whose first major success was "Lives of a Bengal Lancer," will be honored by The Museum of Modern Art when the Department of Film presents 13 of some 65 pictures made by this veteran filmmaker. The mini-retrospective, which begins at the Museum December 27, indicates the wide range of Hathaway's work. The films, selected by Associate Curator Adrienna Mancia and Assistant Curator Larry Kardish together with Hathaway himself, include "Trail of the Lonesome Pine" (1936), "House on 92nd Street" (1945), "Kiss of Death" (1947), "Call Northside 777" (1948) and "The Desert Fox" (1951). "True Grit" was the most recent success of Hathaway, who started his career at age eight, working for Allan Dwan as a child actor, performing in a picture a day, five days a week. At 14, he was a property boy on the Universal Pictures lot; later he became assistant director to such masters as Frank Lloyd, Victor Fleming, and Josef von Stern­ berg, before taking on full directorial duties. His first seven pictures were all adapta­ tions of Zane Grey Westerns and all were successes. The first Hathaway film to attract critical attention was "Lives of a Bengal Lancer," made in 1935. The film, starring Gary Cooper, with the background of India, utilizes some of Hathaway's knowledge of that country, where he had traveled for almost a year after serving in the army in World War I.
