  • Michael Gold & Dalton Trumbo on Spartacus, Blacklist Hollywood
    LH 19_1 FInal.qxp_Left History 19.1.qxd 2015-08-28 4:01 PM Page 57 Michael Gold & Dalton Trumbo on Spartacus, Blacklist Hollywood, Howard Fast, and the Demise of American Communism 1 Henry I. MacAdam, DeVry University Howard Fast is in town, helping them carpenter a six-million dollar production of his Spartacus . It is to be one of those super-duper Cecil deMille epics, all swollen up with cos - tumes and the genuine furniture, with the slave revolution far in the background and a love tri - angle bigger than the Empire State Building huge in the foreground . Michael Gold, 30 May 1959 —— Mike Gold has made savage comments about a book he clearly knows nothing about. Then he has announced, in advance of seeing it, precisely what sort of film will be made from the book. He knows nothing about the book, nothing about the film, nothing about the screenplay or who wrote it, nothing about [how] the book was purchased . Dalton Trumbo, 2 June 1959 Introduction Of the three tumultuous years (1958-1960) needed to transform Howard Fast’s novel Spartacus into the film of the same name, 1959 was the most problematic. From the start of production in late January until the end of all but re-shoots by late December, the project itself, the careers of its creators and financiers, and the studio that sponsored it were in jeopardy a half-dozen times. Blacklist Hollywood was a scary place to make a film based on a self-published novel by a “Commie author” (Fast), and a script by a “Commie screenwriter” (Trumbo).

  • The Queer History of Films and Filming by Justin Bengry
    The Queer History of Films and Filming By Justin Bengry It would be hard to exaggerate the sense of repression that many queer men felt in 1950s Britain. Assailed by the press, stalked by the police and dispar- aged by the state, homosexuals experienced almost universal hostility. In 1952, for example, the Sunday Pictorial’s infamous ‘Evil Men’ series ridiculed queer men as “freaks” and “degenerates”; they were, the Pictorial warned, a potent threat to British society.1 In 1953 alone, sensational coverage of charges against Labour M.P. William Field for importuning, author Rupert Croft-Cooke for gross indecency and Shakespearean actor Sir John Gielgud for importuning in a Chelsea lavatory all highlighted the plight of homosexuals. More than any other case, however, the Lord Montagu affair of 1953-4 exposed the dangers posed to homosexuals in Britain. At its conclusion, Lord Montagu, his cousin Michael Pitt-Rivers and Daily Mail diplomatic correspondent Peter Wildeblood were all imprisoned. By 1954, the scandals, trials and social disruption had reached such a frenzy, that amid calls for state intervention, the government relented and called the Departmental Committee on Homosexual Offences and Prostitution (The Wolfenden Committee) to evaluate the state of criminal law in Britain. That same year, Philip Dosse introduced Films and Filming. Long before homosexual activity between consenting men was decrimina- lised in Britain in 1967, Films and Filming subtly included articles and images, erotically charged commercial advertisements and same-sex contact ads that established its queer leanings. From its initial issues in 1954, the magazine sought Britain’s queer market segment by including articles on the censorship of homosexual themes in film and theatre, profiles and images of sexually ambigu- ous male actors like Dirk Bogarde and Rock Hudson and photo spreads selected specifically for their display of male flesh.

  • IN PLAIN SIGHT: DETAILED OBJECT INFORMATION Sadie Barnette For
    Henry IN PLAIN SIGHT: DETAILED OBJECT INFORMATION Sadie Barnette For Sadie Barnette, the personal is political. Through the Freedom of Information Act, Barnette and her family obtained a 500-page FBI file documenting the everyday activities of her father, Rodney Barnette. Rodney founded the Compton chapter of the Black Panther Party in the 60s, and opened the first black gay bar in San Francisco. Under the COINTELPRO program, the FBI targeted Rodney and other Black Panther Party members as extremists, and aggressively surveilled the community organizers. This invasion of privacy and policing of black lives moved the younger Barnette to re-appropriate the document as a source material to tell her dad’s story as well as the story of the government and its efforts to destroy civil rights movements. Anchoring this installation, Barnette’s diptych Untitled (Agitator Index) juxtaposes a document expressing the Bureau’s concerns about protecting its informants with a list of Black Panther Party members. Barnette redacts the names and birthdates of the Black Panthers with glitter and crosses out the CONFIDENTIAL stamps, restoring anonymity and security of their identities. Barnette obscures the already impenetrable legal language to uncover the brutality of the government’s efforts and to reclaim personal and political histories. Barnette further unpacks the ongoing histories of surveillance to envision possible futures. In her reimagining of the (black) home place, the domestic scene shimmers. Barnette works with glitter as an element of “transcendence or ecstasy, escape—it’s mesmerizing, it’s hypnotizing, we are all drawn to it and it can transport you somewhere.” Barnette decorates the pink glittered space with a holographic couch and black American cultural articles.

MARTIN Copyright, 1977, The Connecticut Dally Campos The International Center and the University's foreign student program are suffering from problems that have caused many students to boycott the center, and have prompted others to question how dedicated I'Conn is in its commitment to the International community. The Daily Campus has learned that the 11-year-old center is having problems defining the status of a foreign student advisor who by job title and description does not exist, as well as handling factional differences and low morale that some have blamed on unrespon- siveness of the center's director and a lack of support by the University. Very few people can pinpoint when exactly foreign students' problems started. However, most of the major problems began to surface three to four years ago. Four years ago, Vivian Putnam, who is now employed in the Registrar's Office, was the International Center's foreign student advisor, as well as the director of the Robert B. Knapp center. Putnam, who says she now tries to keep her distance International Center. from the situation because she doesn't want to interfer, Until about two years ago, the Graduate Center had a advised students with problems that were other than position titled Director of Foreign Students and academic, and was also familiar with visa and Minority Affairs.
