Benji McGarvie : Just gave him what he wanted. While it's been pretty maligned in some circles - maybe this is why it never was released in the States and it arrived two years late in Peruvian theatres - it's not a bad movie; it's OK, I guess, but nothing spectacular. Death on the Vine When Phryne arrives at an idyllic vineyard in the countryside to investigate a suspicious death in the past, she lands in the middle of an annual Wine Festival and the recent murder of her own 'client'. She steps in to solve the crime and save the production - juggling the roles of principal investor and private investigator. The revelation comes as the two middle-aged couples spar, their tawdry ripostes reaching for, but never nailing, the self-aware bitchiness of Noel Coward.

Was this review helpful to you? The movie is not particularly ambitious, and that's maybe why I was left overwhelmed by it - there's so much to say about a figure as famous and recognizable as Houdini, and the film decides to focus on something decidedly dull.

  • Gillian Armstrong Gillian Armstong Came to Prominence in the 1970S
    Gillian Armstrong Gillian Armstong came to prominence in the 1970s as an outstanding young Australian film director, who has gone on to achieve sustained international success. Alongside filmmakers like Bruce Beresford, John Duigan, Phil Noyce, Fred Schepisi and Peter Weir, her early work was supported by a new national film industry, giving expression to an individual creative vision and an Australian content. Gillian Armstrong’s father was an amateur photographer, and as she grew up, she had her own camera and interest in photography. She studied a Diploma of Art (Film and Television) at Swinburne Technical College, graduating in 1971, Originally enrolled in costume design, she started attending the film course and became entranced with the medium and with the work the students were doing ... turning more and more to still photography and then to film’ (Stratton 1980, p.213). It was the first course in film and television in Australia, initially offered by Swinburne Art School within the Department of Graphic Design. Armstrong ‘experienced great stimulus from the art side of the course — for her the philosophy of film as a means of expression and vision came from the first two years of the course in art and graphic design’ (Paterson 1996, p.46). She graduated with the experimental film The Roof Needs Mowing , 1970. Brian Robinson, first head of the Swinburne Film School, was significant in the development and operation of this innovative course, and the creative learning experience of the small student intake. Regarding them as artists being trained in the technical skills of filmmaking, he thought they should all ‘aim at being producers and directors’ (Paterson 1996, p.

  • Staging the Actress
    STAGING THE ACTRESS: DRAMATIC CHARACTER AND THE PERFORMACE OF FEMALE IDENTITY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Melissa Lee Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Lesley Ferris, Advisor Beth Kattelman Jennifer Schlueter Copyright by Melissa Lee 2014 ABSTRACT Since women first took to the professional stage, actresses have been objects of admiration and condemnation as well as desire and suspicion. Historically marginalized figures, actresses challenged notions of acceptable female behavior by, among other (more scandalous) things, earning their own income, cultivating celebrity, and being sexually autonomous. Performance entailed an economic transaction of money for services provided, inviting the sexual double meanings of female “entertainer” and “working” woman. Branding the actress a whore not only signaled her (perceived) sexual availability, but also that she was an unruly woman who lived beyond the pale. The history of the actress in the West is also complicated by the tradition of the all-male stage, which long prevented women from participating in their own dramatic representations and devalued their claim to artistry once they did. Theatrical representations of actresses necessarily engage with cultural perceptions of actresses, which historically have been paradoxical at best. In this dissertation I identify a sub-genre of drama that I call actress-plays, and using this bibliography of over 100 titles I chronicle and analyze the actress as a character type in the English-speaking theatre, arguing that dramatizations of the professional actress not only reflect (and fuel) a cultural fascination with actresses but also enact a counter- narrative to conventional constructions of femininity.
