  • Films from the THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39
    t% The Museum of Modern Art 1] West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart No. 83 FOR RELEASE: Friday, August 25, I968 Films from THE THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39 The Museum of Modern Art, will present a retrospective of films from the thirties beginning August 23, and running through October 6. The Thirties, according to Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Department of Film, will consist of 39 pictures, representing some of the richest creative talent in American cinema at a time that has been called "the dear, dead days not beyond recall." Two years ago the Museum presented The Thirties, U.S.A., Part I, covering the first half of the decade. The films being shown now as Part II were made from 1935 ^^ 193 '• Among the pictures to be shown are: Frank Capra's "Lost Horizon"; Paul Muni in "The Life of Emile Zola," the Story of a Northern Jew's lynching in the South; the great thriller "Night Must Fall," an adaptation of the Emlyn Williams play starring Robert Montgomery; and "The Good Earth," a spectacle film in black and white, from Pearl Buck's popular novel, for which Luise Rainer won her second Academy Award, with Paul Muni in the starring role. The latter part of the thirties was characterized by further achievements in the musical film, largely due to the talents of Fred Astaire, who with Ginger Rogers starred in "Top Hat," and "Shall We Dance," both of which are in the retrospective. The most important contributions to the annals of films made in the thirties was the series of "snowball" comedies Hollywood turned out at a time of grim, economic hardships.

  • Rory Tell Undergraduate Seminar Shifting Attitudes On
    Rory Tell Undergraduate Seminar Shifting Attitudes on Masculinity in 1930s American Film Introduction: The interaction between politics and film in the 1930s is at the core of this work. In the thirties, the cultural significance of movies was strengthened by its connection to the political circumstances of the era. The year 1933 acts as a watershed moment: there was a Depression and a New Deal, there was a pre-code cinema (films made after the advent of sound in 1929, but before the enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code censorship guidelines) and a self- censored cinema (films made during Motion Picture Production Code censorship guidelines), and therein lies the symbolic connection of political history and film. The connection of these events requires further investigation, as film studios were not passive participants of New Deal culture; instead, there was a similar ideological function, and an interchange, between politics and films. In the 1930s, Warner Brothers received worldwide recognition for the movies they had been producing. Harry Warner used his film’s success to expand the company so that by the end of the decade, Warner Bros. owned 51 subsidiary companies, including 93 film exchanges and 525 theaters in 188 American cities. Warner Bros. executives, and in specific, co-head of production and one of the founding members, Jack Warner, supported Franklin Roosevelt and the socially progressive platforms of the New Deal. The Warner brothers worked to help elect Roosevelt in 1932 by staging rallies for him in Los Angeles that they broadcasted over radio stations. They contributed to his campaign with financial and promotional support, and Roosevelt, in turn, promised to make Jack Warner the Los Angeles Chairman of the National Recovery Administration, which turned out to be a key component of Roosevelt’s New Deal.
