    Copyright is vested in the BECTU History Project. The subject is Wendy Toye, interviewed by Linda Wood, 20 May 1991, recordist Dave Robson. File 197 SIDE 1, TAPE 1 LW: Can you say when and where you were born? WT: I was born in 1917, in London, May 1st. LW: Where about in London? WT: Upper Clapton. North London, it was very pretty in those days, it had a village pond which I fell into a lot, and all those sort of things, it's very different now but it was awfully nice then. LW: Did you come from a show business background? WT: No, there was nobody in it at all as far as I knew that was anything to do with show business at all. LW: What first attracted you to that? WT: It was really my mother so wanted to do it herself, she so wanted to be a dancer, being a very very brilliant lady, she somehow or another got in touch with all the right people and did all the right things, so that by the age of 5 I was being allowed to watch the rehearsals of the Diagliev Ballet Company in London which was an unknown thing for anybody to do. It was never allowed, but she somehow or another found, because she sent me to a very good dancing school to begin with. LW: How old were you when you started? WT: Three. And the rehearsal pianist, accompanist there, was Glynis Johns mother, and I think it was she who suggested that I should go in to do some special kind of performance at the Albert Hall, and I was 3 and a half when I did that, which was my first performance, it was a charity performance of course.

  • Title: Get the London Look: Anna Neagle As the Emblem of British Fashion and Femininity in Maytime in Mayfair (1949). Between 19
    Title: Get the London Look: Anna Neagle as the Emblem of British Fashion and Femininity in Maytime in Mayfair (1949). Between 1947 and 1952, the top British female star at the domestic box office was Anna Neagle. She had displaced Margaret Lockwood, who had achieved the top position during the war years with her turns as dangerous and subversive women in Gainsborough pictures such as The Man in Grey (Arliss, 1943) and, most famously, The Wicked Lady (Arliss, 1945). In both films Lockwood co-starred with James Mason, the brooding, somewhat sadistic idol to a legion of female fans. Mason, mirroring Lockwood’s popularity, was the top male star of 1945 and his appeal was a ‘combination of romantic allure and Sadean fascination’ (Evans 2001: 108) – an appeal that meshed with Lockwood’s ‘unity of transgression and sexual appetite’ (Babington 2001: 94). Aimed at a largely female audience, the Gainsborough melodramas provided escapism and the danger and sexual allure of the characters and stars resulted in a skewing of ‘moral logic’ (Leach 2004: 67), which Jeffrey Richards reads as revelatory of the wartime dislocation of moral values (Richards 1985: 292). With the end of the war, however, there came a reclamation of traditional values, not least in British cinema. In the years immediately following the war, there was a distinct pattern in British films that foregrounded ‘the British people’ as hero, a pattern following the wartime work of Humphrey Jennings in providing images of a united Britain; and the idea image of a Briton was a figure of restraint, good-humour and self-deprecation.

A COUPLE THAT FIGHTS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER: ROMANCE, MARRIAGE, AND DIVORCE IN BRITISH HOME FRONT FILMS OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR by IDIT KOLAN Under the Direction of Ian C. Fletcher ABSTRACT The impact of total war on the British home front from 1939 to 1945 was profound. In particular, military and economic mobilization disrupted gender relations. Men and women of different class and national backgrounds encountered each other, sometimes forming romantic relationships that strained the institutions of marriage and family. This disruption was heavily depicted in wartime British cinema, especially in feature films devoted to the home front experience. Differences of class, gender, and nationality were downplayed in order to construct a solidaristic meaning for wartime social experience, fitting for “the People’s War.” My thesis examines romantic relationships and marriages depicted in numerous British home front films.
