    October 4, 2016 (XXXIII:6) Joseph L. Mankiewicz: ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), 138 min All About Eve received 14 Academy Award nominations and won 6 of them: picture, director, supporting actor, sound, screenplay, costume design. It probably would have won two more if four members of the cast hasn’t been in direct competition with one another: Davis and Baxter for Best Actress and Celeste Holm and Thelma Ritter for Best Supporting Actress. The story is that the studio tried to get Baxter to go for Supporting but she refused because she already had one of those and wanted to move up. Years later, the same story goes, she allowed as maybe she made a bad career move there and Bette David allowed as she was finally right about something. Directed by Joseph L.

  • Making Fun [Sic] of Hitler
    http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/8142-286-4.10 Victor Castellani University of Denver, U.S.A. MAKING FUN [SIC] OF HITLER denoid Hynkel, Kaiser Overall, and Adolf Elizabeth Hitler have two things in common. First, all three names humorously identify one of the most evil people in recent or any history—no laughing matter, a moral monster responsible, directly or indirectly, for deaths of tens of millions and for misery of countless people that lasts till this today. Secondly, they also show how an artistic and, more narrowly, a satiric imagination can deal with such monstrosity. Example 1: The Great Dictator(1940) Even before World War 2 broke out in Europe Charlie Chaplin’s film pro- ject commenced (September 1938).1 Since American producers hesitated to ridicule leadership of a country at which they were at peace, Chaplin largely self-funded the production, which was completed March 1940. Dictator was popular in the United Kingdom, inevitably, and before that across the Atlan- tic. It premiered in the United States October 1940, when the aerial Battle of Britain was well under way. However, despite invasions of France and the Low Countries, Denmark and Norway in spring of that year, America remained neu- tral politically, if not emotionally. The film reached British theaters two months later during some of the heaviest bombing of the “Blitz.” “Adenoid Hynkel” is the name under which Englishman Charlie Chaplin caustically mocked the German Führer Adolf Hitler. This evil and yet ludicrous figure is called here “The Phooey,” after recently coined bit of American slang that means something like “bad luck!” “rubbish!” or the like.

  • 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.
