The intervening years saw the plaudits and honors-and the moneygo to younger and rela- tively lesser~known young men who sing popular songs for radio, TV and the giant recording indus- try. And hereby hangs a tale. " Until quite recently, it was getting. to be a habit- to refer to some of the oldtimers in the warbling business asYou know, people like Vallee, Cros- by and Sinatra." Of course, Bing is still around, still making with the. pipes in a variety of odd chores in the entertainment world. But his work is accepted and enjoyed, frankly, with a touch of nos- talgia. He is the old master, admittedly great, but no longer the object of mass adulation and the toter-home of honorary gold recordsthose sym- bols of fabulous discs which sell over a million cop- ies. And of course, the Connecticut Yankee, al- though an energetic and competent dabbler in other branches of the arts, no longer keeps ecstatic wo- men glued to the loudspeakers as he did a quarter of a century ago. The days of the neatly-parted curly locks and the megaphone are gone forever. The thing that puts Frank Sinatra in a class by himself these days is that almost unheard-of accom- plishmenta true comeback.

It was on a double bill with Jacques Tourneur’s acknowledged film noir classic Out of the Past, which I liked a lot more than Hunter. The latter seemed over acted and strange to me, and I found it much easier to enjoy a film about a private detective who was lured into violence and crime by a beautiful femme fatale. Out of the Past seemed more realistic and cooler, because it had people smoking cigarettes in dimly lit rooms and because it was full of banter with sexual innuendo.

  • Stanley Kubrick: Producers and Production Companies
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by De Montfort University Open Research Archive Stanley Kubrick: Producers and Production Companies Thesis submitted by James Fenwick In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, September 2017 1 Abstract This doctoral thesis examines filmmaker Stanley Kubrick’s role as a producer and the impact of the industrial contexts upon the role and his independent production companies. The thesis represents a significant intervention into the understanding of the much-misunderstood role of the producer by exploring how business, management, working relationships and financial contexts influenced Kubrick’s methods as a producer. The thesis also shows how Kubrick contributed to the transformation of industrial practices and the role of the producer in Hollywood, particularly in areas of legal authority, promotion and publicity, and distribution. The thesis also assesses the influence and impact of Kubrick’s methods of producing and the structure of his production companies in the shaping of his own reputation and brand of cinema. The thesis takes a case study approach across four distinct phases of Kubrick’s career. The first is Kubrick’s early years as an independent filmmaker, in which he made two privately funded feature films (1951-1955). The second will be an exploration of the Harris-Kubrick Pictures Corporation and its affiliation with Kirk Douglas’ Bryna Productions (1956-1962). Thirdly, the research will examine Kubrick’s formation of Hawk Films and Polaris Productions in the 1960s (1962-1968), with a deep focus on the latter and the vital role of vice-president of the company.

  • Inherit the Wind; and the Foolish Shall Be Servant to the Wise of Heart." Proverbs 11:29
    "He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; And the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart." Proverbs 11:29 STANLEY KRAMER (29 September 1913, Brooklyn—19 February 2001, Woodland Hills, CA, penumonia) from Leonard Maltin's Film Encyclopedia:Although unfashionable with latter-day film critics who find some of his "message movies" to be simplistic, Stanley Kramer can take credit for producing (and later directing) some of Hollywood's boldest, most socially conscious movies-at a time when much of the industry was reverting to formula and cowering in the wake of the Communist witch-hunts. Moreover, his projects consistently attracted the 14 FEBRUARY 2006, XII:5 top talent working on both sides of the cameras in Hollywood.

  • Bending Rules to Help
    Using Boundary Crossings As Creative Therapy Instead of Slippery Slopes Course Director Gail E. Robinson, MD Annual Convention of the American Psychiatric Association – May 2008 CREATIVE MOMENTS & CHALLENGING EVENTS IN THERAPY -- BENDING RULES TO HELP Gary R. Schoener * INTRODUCTION From the New York Times, Metropolitan Dairy section, 22 December 2005 Being asked to perform a psychiatric consultation on a hospitalized adolescent is rarely pleasant. Fortunately, this teenager seemed placid as I approached his bed. His mother was seated nearby, immersed in her knitting. I walked over and introduced myself to him. He looked right through me and started screaming at the top of his lungs: “I can’t see! I can’t see!” I had never before seen such a dramatic example of hysterical blindness. I tried not to betray my concern as I casually asked his mother, “How long has this been going on?” She never even looked up as she replied, “Ever since you stepped in front of his television.” Isaac Steven Herschkopf, M.D. Yes, there are all sorts of boundaries challenges in professional work. On occasion I tell my students and professional audiences that I once spent an entire psychotherapy session holding hands with a 26 year old woman together in a quiet darkened room. That disclosure usually elicits more than a few gasps and grimaces. When I add that I could not bring myself to end the session after 50 minutes and stayed with the young woman holding hands for another half hour, and when I add the fact that I never billed for the extra time, eyes roll.
