  • FLM 34 — Film Noir: the Femme Fatale in 1940S and 1950S Film Instructor: Mick Lasalle
    Preliminary Syllabus Spring 2017 FLM 34 — Film Noir: The Femme Fatale in 1940s and 1950s Film Instructor: Mick LaSalle Course Summary: One of the major messages of film noir is that sex can kill you . but it might be worth it anyway. This notion, cynical and yet naïvely romantic, recedes and returns in American life. By the end of this class, students will not only have seen the signature noir films centering on evil or destructive women, but they will understand how these films fit into the history of women on screen and the social history of the United States in the 20th century. The point is that these films are fun, but they didn’t come out of nowhere, and there weren’t symptoms of nothing. They are fun, but they represented a combination of conflicting impulses and aspirations -- as expressions of power and fantasy for both women and men, but also of a social pathology. Having taken this course, students will be familiar with the key players and films of the era, but will also be able to take their knowledge and find greater satisfaction and substance in the noir and women’s films they see thereafter. Syllabus (Subject to Change): Week One: Femme fatale origins. Bara, Naldi, Garbo, Dietrich. Week Two: Jane Greer Week Three: Joan Bennett Week Four: Lizabeth Scott Week Five: Claire Trevor Week Six: Jean Gillie and Ann Savage Week Seven: French Noir (noir without censorship): Mylene Demongeot Preliminary Syllabus Spring 2017 Week Eight: Rita Hayworth Week Nine: Late film noir Week Ten: Noir revival of the 1980s and 1990s and the AIDS connection .

Directed by Peter R. Hunt in 1974. Roger Moore plays Rodney “Rod” Slater, general manager of a South African gold mine, who is instructed by his boss to break through an underground dike into what he is told is a rich seam of gold. The mine-owner’s son-in-law and director plan to destroy the mine so that foreign syndicate members can profit from share-dealing and raise the price of gold on world markets.

  • How Inforenz Cracked the Code Leading to Diana Dors' Millions
    How Inforenz cracked the code leading to Diana Dors’ millions Submitted by: Palam Communications Monday, 15 September 2003 A 400-year-old code held the secret to star’s hidden fortune for 20 years Free Vigenere Code Cracker software download 15 September 2003 A medieval code that perplexed spies and code breakers for centuries and which was used by Diana Dors to keep secret the whereabouts of her hidden fortune has been cracked by Inforenz, the information forensics specialist. The Inforenz team’s feat was featured in Saturday night’s Channel 4 documentary, Who Got Diana Dors’ Millions?. Free software demonstrating how Inforenz helped unravel the mystery and giving details of the code can now be downloaded from the company’s web site at www.inforenz.com. This week, the Inforenz team will talk about its exploits and explain why concealed data is becoming an increasing issue for modern business at COSAC, the international forum for information security professionals and business managers. Before she died, Diana Dors gave her son, Mark Dawson, a coded message telling him that it held the whereabouts of a hidden £2 million fortune, and that her husband, actor Alan Lake, had the “key” that would unravel the code. But, tragically, just months after Diana Dors died of cancer, Alan Lake committed suicide, taking the secret of how to decipher Mark’s code to his grave. For 21 years Diana Dors’ son Mark had failed in his quest to break the code but, when he discovered Inforenz, the story began to be revealed. “Mark came to us with a tatty scrap of paper with a sequence of letters written in a traditional coded five-character column format,” said Andy Clark, Director of Inforenz.

  • Monday 25 July 2016, London. Ahead of Kirk Douglas' 100Th Birthday This
    Monday 25 July 2016, London. Ahead of Kirk Douglas’ 100th birthday this December, BFI Southbank pay tribute to this major Hollywood star with a season of 20 of his greatest films, running from 1 September – 4 October 2016. Over the course of his sixty year career, Douglas became known for playing iconic action heroes, and worked with the some of the greatest Hollywood directors of the 1940s and 1950s including Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks, Vincente Minnelli and Stanley Kubrick. Films being screened during the season will include musical drama Young Man with a Horn (Michael Curtiz, 1949) alongside Lauren Bacall and Doris Day, Stanley Kubrick’s epic Spartacus (1960), Champion (Mark Robson, 1949) for which he received the first of three Oscar® nominations for Best Actor, and the sci- fi family favourite 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Richard Fleischer, 1954). The season will kick off with a special discussion event Kirk Douglas: The Movies, The Muscles, The Dimple; this event will see a panel of film scholars examine Douglas’ performances and star persona, and explore his particular brand of Hollywood masculinity. Also included in the season will be a screening of Seven Days in May (John Frankenheimer, 1964) which Douglas starred in opposite Ava Gardner; the screening will be introduced by English Heritage who will unveil a new blue plaque in honour of Ava Gardner at her former Knightsbridge home later this year. Born Issur Danielovich into a poor immigrant family in New York State, Kirk Douglas began his path to acting success on a special scholarship at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, where he met Betty Joan Perske (later to become better known as Lauren Bacall), who would play an important role in helping to launch his film career.
