  • Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, Remember “Thanks for the Memory” Oscar-Winning
    Back to Newsroom (/newsroom) Leo Robin Music Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, Remember "Thanks for the Memory" Oscar-Winning Lyricist Leo Robin Who Served on The Hollywood Office of Music War Council During WWII - The Hollywood Walk of Fame Should Install #LeosLostStar" Awarded to Him 30 Years Ago Tuesday, April 28, 2020 3:18 PM SHERMAN OAKS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 28, 2020 / Turning on the radio back in 1944 you would have heard the most celebrated jazz musicians such as Louis Armstrong and Lionel Hampton and vocalists such as Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Dinah Washington and actress Marlene Dietrich singing the wartime song "No Love, No Nothin'." Lyricist Leo Robin wrote the heartfelt lyrics to this song during World War II when romantic and sentimental songs about the girls left behind captured the mood of the country. In The Great Jazz and Pop Vocal Albums, Will Friedwald gives his interpretation, "this no-frills love song is refreshingly straightforward. No frills, no love, no nothin', in fact -- it's all about the deprivation of the 'love-sick girl' on the home front is suffering; [...] there's an obvious parallel with wartime rationing and shortages. It was near impossible to get sugar, rubber, tires, or gasoline, among other goods and the same thing applied to love, she's not getting any of that either." Today's songwriters and musicians amid the Coronavirus pandemic follow in the footsteps of those during World War II in writing and performing songs that capture the mood of the country during this new war against what President Trump calls the "invisible enemy." For example, Alicia Keys, a 15-time Grammy winner, debuted her new powerful anthem "Good Job" to honor the unsung heroes in her own life during a CNN global town hall addressing the latest developments in the Covid-19 pandemic.

  • Frankenheimer on Location in Canada
    Frankenheimer on Location in Canada By Gerald Pratley Fall 1999 Issue of KINEMA THE DISTINGUISHED American filmmaker, John Frankenheimer, has returned to Canada and is making his fourth motion picture there called Reindeer Games presently filming in Vancouver, British Columbia, for Miramax. The main players are Gary Sinese, Charlize Theron, Ben Affleck and Clarence Williams III. Frankenheimer is working from a script by Ehren Kruger, the writer’s second screenplay following Arlington Way, released this summer. Frankenheimer first came to British Columbia twenty years ago tofilm Prophecy, a horror story rooted in the pollution of the environment by the logging industries. He returned ten years later to Calgary, Drumheller and High River, to film Dead Bang, a brilliant piece of work based on the true story of a vicious white supremacy movement. He was back a year later, to Bragg Creek, Canmore and Calgary, to make The Fourth War, set on the snowbound Czech-West German frontier during the Cold War and relating a thoughtful moral tale of two generals, one American the other Russian, and their conflicting ideological beliefs. Now he is snowbound once again high in the Cypress Bowl mountains of West Vancouver shooting all-night scenes in freezing-cold weather with the unit bathed in the eerie light of Musko location lamps raised high in the dark sky. Affleck plays a newly released prisoner who assumes another man’s identity and findshimself involved in a casino robbery at Christmas time. The script appealed to Frankenheimer as a thoughtfully written story concerning men who were born evil and have become a violent sore to plague a complaisant society.

  • Painting En Abyme: Tracing the Uses of Painting in New Hollywood Cinema
    PAINTING EN ABYME: TRACING THE USES OF PAINTING IN NEW HOLLYWOOD CINEMA By MICHELLE LYNN RINARD Bachelor of Arts in Art History Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Illinois 2010 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 2015 PAINTING EN ABYME: TRACING THE USES OF PAINTING IN NEW HOLLYWOOD CINEMA Thesis Approved: Dr. Louise Siddons Thesis Adviser Dr. Jeff Menne Dr. Rebecca Brienen ii Name: MICHELLE L. RINARD Date of Degree: MAY 2015 Title of Study: PAINTING EN ABYME: TRACING THE USES OF PAINTING IN NEW HOLLYWOOD CINEMA Major Field: ART HISTORY Abstract: In the period of the New Hollywood in cinema, four directors created films that incorporated paintings and artworks within their scenes: Mike Nichols’ The Graduate (1967); John Frankenheimer’s Seconds (1966); Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange (1971); and Paul Mazursky’s An Unmarried Woman (1978). In four close readings, I demonstrate that these filmmakers incorporated painting to contribute to the emotions and narrative, to reflect the institutional power or ideological positions of characters and organizations, and as cultural or anti-cultural capital. The incorporation of painting in film creates a mise en abyme, doubling the forms and meanings of art within the film medium. The use of painting in cinema in the period between 1966 and 1978 is characteristic of an artistic trend in New Hollywood filmmaking. Earlier uses of art in film were overwhelmingly narrative and diegetic, while in New Hollywood film it becomes a mode of editorializing and extra diegetic commentary.

  • Michael Gold & Dalton Trumbo on Spartacus, Blacklist Hollywood
    LH 19_1 FInal.qxp_Left History 19.1.qxd 2015-08-28 4:01 PM Page 57 Michael Gold & Dalton Trumbo on Spartacus, Blacklist Hollywood, Howard Fast, and the Demise of American Communism 1 Henry I. MacAdam, DeVry University Howard Fast is in town, helping them carpenter a six-million dollar production of his Spartacus . It is to be one of those super-duper Cecil deMille epics, all swollen up with cos - tumes and the genuine furniture, with the slave revolution far in the background and a love tri - angle bigger than the Empire State Building huge in the foreground . Michael Gold, 30 May 1959 —— Mike Gold has made savage comments about a book he clearly knows nothing about. Then he has announced, in advance of seeing it, precisely what sort of film will be made from the book. He knows nothing about the book, nothing about the film, nothing about the screenplay or who wrote it, nothing about [how] the book was purchased . Dalton Trumbo, 2 June 1959 Introduction Of the three tumultuous years (1958-1960) needed to transform Howard Fast’s novel Spartacus into the film of the same name, 1959 was the most problematic. From the start of production in late January until the end of all but re-shoots by late December, the project itself, the careers of its creators and financiers, and the studio that sponsored it were in jeopardy a half-dozen times. Blacklist Hollywood was a scary place to make a film based on a self-published novel by a “Commie author” (Fast), and a script by a “Commie screenwriter” (Trumbo).
