  • The British War Film, 1939-1980: Culture, History, and Genre
    The British War Film, 1939-1980: Culture, History, and Genre by Kevin M. Flanagan B.A., College of William and Mary, 2006 M.A., North Carolina State University, 2009 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2015 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH KENNETH P. DIETRICH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Kevin M. Flanagan It was defended on April 15, 2015 and approved by Colin MacCabe, Distinguished Professor, Department of English Adam Lowenstein, Associate Professor, Department of English David Pettersen, Assistant Professor, Department of French and Italian Dissertation Advisor: Lucy Fischer, Distinguished Professor, Department of English ii Copyright © by Kevin M. Flanagan 2015 iii THE BRITISH WAR FILM, 1939-1980: CULTURE, HISTORY, AND GENRE Kevin M. Flanagan, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2015 This dissertation argues that discussions of war representation that privilege the nationalistic, heroic, and redemptively sacrificial strand of storytelling that dominate popular memory in Britain ignore a whole counter-history of movies that view war as an occasion to critique through devices like humor, irony, and existential alienation. Instead of selling audiences on what Graham Dawson has called “the pleasure culture of war” (a nationally self-serving mode of talking about and profiting from war memory), many texts about war are motivated by other intellectual and ideological factors. Each chapter includes historical context and periodizing arguments about different moments in British cultural history, explores genre trends, and ends with a comparative analysis of representative examples.

  • British Films 1971-1981
    Preface This is a reproduction of the original 1983 publication, issued now in the interests of historical research. We have resisted the temptations of hindsight to change, or comment on, the text other than to correct spelling errors. The document therefore represents the period in which it was created, as well as the hard work of former colleagues of the BFI. Researchers will notice that the continuing debate about the definitions as to what constitutes a “British” production was topical, even then, and that criteria being considered in 1983 are still valid. Also note that the Dept of Trade registration scheme ceased in May 1985 and that the Eady Levy was abolished in the same year. Finally, please note that we have included reminders in one or two places to indicate where information could be misleading if taken for current. David Sharp Deputy Head (User Services) BFI National Library August 2005 ISBN: 0 85170 149 3 © BFI Information Services 2005 British Films 1971 – 1981: - back cover text to original 1983 publication. What makes a film British? Is it the source of its finance or the nationality of the production company and/or a certain percentage of its cast and crew? Is it possible to define a British content? These were the questions which had to be addressed in compiling British Films 1971 – 1981. The publication includes commercial features either made and/or released in Britain between 1971 and 1981 and lists them alphabetically and by year of registration (where appropriate). Information given for each film includes production company, studio and/or major location, running time, director and references to trade paper production charts and Monthly Film Bulletin reviews as source of more detailed information.

  • HANCOCK's HALF HOUR COLLECTIBLES Notes To
    HANCOCK’S HALF HOUR COLLECTIBLES Notes to Accompany Volume 1 All photographs copyright (C) BBC The Tony Hancock Appreciation Society is delighted to have given its support to the production of this new and unique series concerning the lost work of Tony Hancock. Tony Hancock,1956. Official BBC publicity picture The Tony Hancock Appreciation Society (THAS) The THAS was first formed in 1976. Since that time, its primary purpose has been always to celebrate and promote the career of one of Britain’s best-loved comedians. However, the ways in which these aims have been applied in 1 practice have changed over the decades. In its early years, when very few episodes from either radio or television had been seen or heard since original broadcast, society newsletters were typically full of pleas to the BBC to schedule repeats of the shows. Similarly, the THAS was keen for the BBC to increase the pace of commercial releases of the series; many fans from the early 1980s can recall living on a diet of one new LP or cassette each year, containing just a couple of shows. Fans were to be frustrated on both fronts for some years despite their persistent efforts. An early newsletter from 1980, for example, details futile exchanges with Equity to find out what the members of the Musicians’ Union wanted to be paid for repeat fees, since these were often cited as a barrier in this matter. In another magazine, it was reported that a THAS letter to David Hatch, then Head of Light Entertainment for BBC Radio, had been met with a dispiriting reply, which was reproduced as follows: ‘Hancock’ has been on the air reasonably recently and I am afraid is not scheduled in the current run of ‘Smash of the Day’.

  • R Icsa S" Cs Ui
    s6s r i w°/Ia ym ICsa ui S" cs . .. ....................... ....... Dear Colleagues, Writers and directors, working in the kind of collaboration that dignifies both of our profes- sions, stand together once again in our official identities as the Writers Guild of America, west and the Directors Guild of America, to present the Preston Sturges Award in recognition of a career achievement in filmmaking. Our honoree is Blake Edwards, the third artist to be so selected, preceded by Richard Brooks and Billy Wilder. How proud we are to have been in their presence and to be working at the same crafts! Somewhere, Preston Sturges is smiling; surely Blake Edwards is a talent after his own heart. Consider Blake's body of work, outlined in detail elsewhere in this publication. It is the journey of an instinctive artist learning his craft. A journey through the latter days of the legendary Hollywood studio system, writing low-budget westerns and romantic comedies, then directing his own scripts. Then the gradual development of a personal style, a "touch." Then, in 1963, his script (with Maurice Richlin) and his direction of The Pink Panther,and film buffs throughout the world knew that they had another stylist to enjoy. (Remember the spinning globe of the earth, and Inspector Clouseau inadvertently touching it, and spinning himself right to the floor?) After that, Blake's work, unaffected by the storytelling fads of the moment, showed the maturing of a master. He developed into one of those rare creative minds who holds true to his unique talent and to the cinematic tradition of the great era of visual comedy of Chaplin, Keaton and Harold Lloyd, and later, Preston Sturges himself.

Orchestra conducted by Wally Stott. Transcribed by Kurt Adkins, corrections by Peter Olausson. Greenslade: This is the BBC. We commence with a flourishing chorus of "The Gallant Hussar" by Fotheringay's Singing Midgets. Grams: [Speeded up banjo and vocal followed by an explosion] Greenslade: And here is the midget composer, Harry "Nuts" Secombe. Secombe: Hallo folks! Hallo folks. Now let me inform you Wallace, that no midget composer am I. Haaallo folks! My vocation is engineering, I graduated in tunnel building. Greenslade: How terribly, terribly. Secombe: Yes, yes, yes, yous, yes, yus, my first big tunnel I built in 1931. Greenslade: Oh yes, I remember now, six other convicts escaped with you. Secombe: What, what what, what, what, what, what, all lies I tell you, we were just dressed as convicts, it was carnival night. That's how we slipped away unnoticed, all lies I tell you, all lies! [Mutters off into the distance...] Sellers: Yes, this is a story of how an escaped convict became a great engineer and vice-a-versa. Secombe: What, it's true. Sellers: I will, if you just stand naked on the piano with your back to the audience, you will hear the story of The Great Trans Africa Canal! Milligan: Oww... Orchestra: [Fanfare type link] Greenslade: Scene one, that well known variety theatre, the House of Commons. Milligan: [Unintelligible echoey Houses of Parliament type background speechmaking] 1 Secombe: Hallo folks, on that fateful day in Parliament, two sinister figures were present.
