  • Written to Be the Introduction to a Book in the Wisconsin/Warner Bros Screenplay Series, General Editor Tino Balio, Published by the University of Wisconsin Press
    1981 Written to be the Introduction to a book in the Wisconsin/Warner Bros Screenplay Series, General Editor Tino Balio, published by the University of Wisconsin Press. These volumes reproduced classic Warner Bros scripts from the Warner Bros Archive at the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research with scholarly apparatus. Between the commissioning of this volume and its completion the series was cancelled. The script itself and associated stills cannot be reproduced without copyright permission. Since the piece was written, Warner Bros post-production files have been acquired by the Cinema Studies Library of the University of Southern California. It is likely that they close some of the questions here raised about the final form of the film. INTRODUCTION The Politics of the War Film Ian Jarvie 1. The Evolution of the Screenplay 2. Summary of the Story as Filmed 3. Production and Exploitation 4. Reception and Appraisal 5. Political Aftermath Objective Burma has both intrinsic and extrinsic interest to students of the motion picture. Intrinsically, it is a fine example of sustained and unrelieved treatment of combat within the restrictions of the war film genre. There is much to be learned from studying how the final screenplay emerged from the work of three writers and their producer, and from the further changes made by the director, technical advisor, and film editor during production and post-production. Initial confusion of aims is resolved as the option of a clean and unencumbered line of action is chosen. This enables the writers to clear sub-plots out of the excessively long draft screenplay and encourages further honing down during shooting and editing.

  • Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair­ banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills.

  • UNCERTAIN GLORY (The Other Casablanca) for THOMAS Mcnulty- in Appreciation and Gratitude*
    UNCERTAIN GLORY (The other Casablanca) For THOMAS McNULTY- in appreciation and gratitude* Uncertain Glory is the 29th in the celluloid career of Errol Flynn. The only film of Flynn’s released for the year 1944 falling between Northern Pursuit and Objective Burma. The first of a series of seven films (ultimately amended to three) to be made by Flynn’s company, Thomson Productions, which was contracted to Warners both for use of facilities and release arrange-ments. It has the distinction of being the 5th of 8 films in which Flynn would die, along with Charge of the Light Brigade, Dawn Patrol, The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, They Died With Their Boots On, Rocky Mountain, Too Much Too Soon, and The Roots of Heaven). And also the 4th of 5 dealing with the subject of World War 2- the others being Desperate Journey, Edge of Darkness, Northern Pursuit, and Objective Burma. It’s Flynn’s first important film post-trial. He’s in mid-career, and about 33 years old. He is vulnerable and changed. And the performance shows it- someone in transition, from a boyish attitude toward life into a man’s more serious focus (remember we’re speaking about Flynn: he still had his extra-curricular activities- only less of them). At about this time he was paying alimony and support, married**, LIVING WITH Nora, a father, working on the novel Showdown (writing always having a calming effect), and a recently successful USO and bond tour (meaning public acceptance). He chose this film as his next project, and it DID NOT capitalize on (although there are the usual references to a young man in search of feminine company) the rape trial (the ordeal actually started on 10/11/42 with 2 policemen coming to the house and culminated in an acquittal on 2/6/43) by suggesting the new image he would ultimately be saddled with.

A NEW APPROACH TO AN OLD STORY: HOW GENERATION Y VIEWS AND DISSEMINATES ECHOES OF VIETNAM FILMS AS SEEN IN VIDEOS CREATED BY TROOPS IN IRAQ by LINDSEY ANN HAGAN Under the Direction of Kathryn Fuller-Seeley ABSTRACT This is an examination of how the fictional representation and re-creation of past wars is colliding with the personal video presentations of the Iraq War. It raises questions about how war and art are experienced in a new way and also how “instant history” is made available to the public. Personally recorded footage of the everyday experience of war has altered the way in which society views war and copes with its aftereffects because Generation Y has become a computer based generation.

Remembered as much for his scandals as his acting, there was another side to Errol: writer, war reporter and even devoted family man. THREE PARAGRAPH SYNOPSIS Tasmanian Devil: The Fast and Furious Life of Errol Flynn Fifty years after his death, people are still fascinated by Errol Flynn. The romantic star of dozens of Hollywood movies, Flynn’s real life was in fact far more adventurous than any of his films. In a life dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure, Flynn became notorious for his love affairs, scandals and rebellious nature. But there was another, much less well known side to his character. He was a fine writer, both of novels and journalism, wrote well reviewed novels and reported from wars and revolutions. Among his scoops was the first interview with the newly victorious Fidel Castro who Flynn tracked down in his mountain hideaway in Cuba. In Tasmanian Devil we discover the unknown Flynn, from his troubled childhood in Tasmania to his death, just fifty years later, in the arms of his teenage lover. We hear from his surviving children, friends and colleagues and discover an amazing life of almost unbelievable events.

    Film Score Blogs [Blog # 45] Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 5:48 pm Max Steiner’s Since You Went Away (1944) is now available thru SAE: http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm/ID/17580/SINCE-YOU-WENT-AWAY- 2CD/ This is a 2-cd set for $24.95. It is likely I will decide to also purchase this item once Tribute finally releases The Adventures of Don Juan/Arsenic & Old Lace. Quite frankly I am at the moment too aware of the nature of the music in SYWA. I know I was not too enthusiastic about that movie. And generally speaking I prefer the latter era of Max Steiner output from the late Forties to retirement in the Mid Sixties…..[7:15 pm]: Did a few chores and had dinner…. SYWA sounds (from the clips available online) a bit sweet syrupy, which is not uncommon for early and some mid-Max. Some is fine but too much is a bit much! So there is an element of “sweet nothings” here in this total score. So far it is not particularly distinctive and grabbing. It’s basically “light stuff.” In the first half of the Forties my favorite Steiner score is Desperate Journey perhaps (and a fine, entertaining war movie). They Died With Their Boots On had some very fine moments (I researched the written score but never had the chance yet to do Desperate Journey). Now, Voyager and of course Casablanca are excellent scores. If you include 1945 then San Antonio was really fun, and I also liked Saratoga Trunk.
