  • Leisen, Mitchell (1898-1972) by Craig Kaczorowski
    Leisen, Mitchell (1898-1972) by Craig Kaczorowski Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2010 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Mitchell Leisen was a noted director during Hollywood's Golden Age. He is credited with more than 40 feature films, which are celebrated for their stylishness and visual elegance. He excelled at witty, romantic comedies that are often tinged with a touch of melancholy, such as the classic "screwball" comedy Easy Living (1937) and the clever, cosmopolitan farce Midnight (1939). Leisen has also been hailed for his "gender role-reversal" films, where the male lead is cast as the sex object and the female lead as the aggressor. Not surprising for a bisexual director working in Hollywood, Leisen's other thematic obsessions included mistaken identity, role-playing, and deception. Leisen returned to the same performers film after film, developing strong working partnerships. Although he was instrumental in shaping the careers of such actors as Fred MacMurray and Ray Milland, Leisen became typed as a "woman's director" for the fastidious, detailed attention he paid to the costuming and art direction of his productions, as well as for the nuanced, spontaneous performances he coaxed from such actresses as Carole Lombard, Claudette Colbert, and Olivia de Havilland. Among many film historians, Leisen's artistic reputation has been tarnished somewhat by the stormy relationships he became embroiled in with some of his screenwriters, most notably Preston Sturges and Billy Wilder. After working on several films with Leisen, both writers demanded to be allowed to direct their own scripts, in part because they objected to the sophisticated veneer of Leisen's directorial style and to the changes he frequently made to their screenplays.

Benson Fong, Beulah Quo, and George Takei on the set of My Three Sons. 2016 Amerasia Journal Amerasia 96 Amerasia Journal 42:2 (2016): 96-117 10.17953/aj.42.1.96 The Asian American Next Door Enfiguring the Model Minority on the Domestic Melodrama Melissa Phruksachart In the years between the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans (1942-1946) and the 1965 Immigration Act, what prepared the Ameri- can public to recognize and validate the term “model minority?” This essay proposes a televisual genealogy of the model minority as dis- tinct from the 1966 formulation published by The New York Times in William Petersen’s feature “Success Story, Japanese-American Style.”1 Building upon prior scholarship, I inquire into the early Cold War log- ics that precipitated the popular rise of the model minority figure in 1966. In particular, I point to network television as an archive that circulated the structures of feeling necessary for the model minority to take hold. By doing so, I place recent histories of Asian American do- mesticity during the Cold War era into closer conversation with U.S. popular culture, particularly television. While popular media histories lament the rarity of Asian Ameri- cans on television, I identify the trope of the Asian American neigh- bor as increasingly common on television in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Both the television industry and Asian American communities found themselves rapidly growing in size in mid-1950s California. At stake for both the television industry and Asian American commu- nities was the chance to be “domesticated” into the American home.

  • Films from the THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39
    t% The Museum of Modern Art 1] West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart No. 83 FOR RELEASE: Friday, August 25, I968 Films from THE THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39 The Museum of Modern Art, will present a retrospective of films from the thirties beginning August 23, and running through October 6. The Thirties, according to Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Department of Film, will consist of 39 pictures, representing some of the richest creative talent in American cinema at a time that has been called "the dear, dead days not beyond recall." Two years ago the Museum presented The Thirties, U.S.A., Part I, covering the first half of the decade. The films being shown now as Part II were made from 1935 ^^ 193 '• Among the pictures to be shown are: Frank Capra's "Lost Horizon"; Paul Muni in "The Life of Emile Zola," the Story of a Northern Jew's lynching in the South; the great thriller "Night Must Fall," an adaptation of the Emlyn Williams play starring Robert Montgomery; and "The Good Earth," a spectacle film in black and white, from Pearl Buck's popular novel, for which Luise Rainer won her second Academy Award, with Paul Muni in the starring role. The latter part of the thirties was characterized by further achievements in the musical film, largely due to the talents of Fred Astaire, who with Ginger Rogers starred in "Top Hat," and "Shall We Dance," both of which are in the retrospective. The most important contributions to the annals of films made in the thirties was the series of "snowball" comedies Hollywood turned out at a time of grim, economic hardships.

  • Discussion Questions for Women in Film Gathering, June 19, 2012
    1 Discussion Questions for Women in Film Gathering, June 19, 2012: Focal Film: The Apartment (1960; U.S.; Co‐written and Directed by Billy Wilder) Billy Wilder (1906‐2002) was one of the 20th century’s most respected writer/directors working in film. Born in Austria‐Hungary, he first wrote films for the German “national” studio, UFA. He was strongly influenced by a director who had earlier emigrated from Germany to the U.S.—Ernst Lubitsch. Both of these men were noted for their sophisticated comedies and elegantly constructed dramas, and in The Apartment, we may get both. Both men produced films of great distinction, handily earning the title of “auteur” of their works. And both frequently visited notions of gender roles, and relationships between the sexes. Some of Lubitsch’s films you might recognize are Ninotchka (with Greta Garbo and Melvin Douglas), Shop Around the Corner (with Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan; remade twice, lastly as You’ve Got Mail), and To Be or Not To Be (with Jack Benny and Carole Lombard). Important Billy Wilder films include Ninotchka (which he co‐wrote for Lubitsch), and the many films he both wrote or co‐wrote and directed, such as Double Indemnity (with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray), The Lost Weekend (with Ray Milland), Sunset Boulevard (with Gloria Swanson and William Holden), Stalag 17 (with William Holden), Sabrina (with Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden), The Seven Year Itch (with Marilyn Monroe), Some Like It Hot (with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon), Irma la Douce (with Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon), and The Fortune Cookie (the first pairing of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau; set and partially shot in Cleveland, BTW).

  • Barbara Stanwyck Centennial
    Film Programs Ball of Fire: Barbara Stanwyck Centennial July 6, 2007 - July 31, 2007 "Thank God I wasn't an ingenue. That would have killed me," Barbara Stanwyck said, reflecting late in life on her early career in Hollywood. Anything but ingenuous, Stanwyck (1907–1990) was the screen archetype of the independent woman with her wits about her, alert and often on the make. Born Ruby Stevens in Flatbush and orphaned early, she started working as a chorus girl at age fifteen; by 1930 she had embarked on a film career that ran from scandalous pre-Code sagas and "women's weepies" through noirs, smart-mouthed comedies, and whip-cracking Westerns (after retiring from the big screen, she was the memorable matriarch of TV's Big Valley). The movies made the most of her tough-broad- from-Brooklyn persona, but her performances also convey a certain reserve and a private tenderness, her vigor and slangy vivacity tempered by the ambivalence that comes with knowledge. Douglas Sirk, with whom she made a devastating pair of 1950s melodramas, called Ladies They Talk About, July 31 her "more expressive than any actress I ever worked with. She had depth as a person. There is this amazing tragic stillness about her, and there is nothing the least bit phony. She isn't capable of phony." Our centennial tribute showcases the very real qualities of this extraordinary actress: the knowing precision of glance and gesture, the husky voice that deepened with time and smoke—and then there were those legs. But why try to itemize her attributes? As Stanwyck said, "What the hell.

  • Museum Pays Tribute to Veteran Hollywood Director Henry Hathaway
    The Museum of Modern Art ^R ^MEDIATE RELEASE U West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart MUSEUM PAYS TRIBUTE TO VETERAN HOLLYWOOD DIRECTOR HENRY HATHAWAY Henry Hathaway, 75-year-old Hollywood director, whose first major success was "Lives of a Bengal Lancer," will be honored by The Museum of Modern Art when the Department of Film presents 13 of some 65 pictures made by this veteran filmmaker. The mini-retrospective, which begins at the Museum December 27, indicates the wide range of Hathaway's work. The films, selected by Associate Curator Adrienna Mancia and Assistant Curator Larry Kardish together with Hathaway himself, include "Trail of the Lonesome Pine" (1936), "House on 92nd Street" (1945), "Kiss of Death" (1947), "Call Northside 777" (1948) and "The Desert Fox" (1951). "True Grit" was the most recent success of Hathaway, who started his career at age eight, working for Allan Dwan as a child actor, performing in a picture a day, five days a week. At 14, he was a property boy on the Universal Pictures lot; later he became assistant director to such masters as Frank Lloyd, Victor Fleming, and Josef von Stern­ berg, before taking on full directorial duties. His first seven pictures were all adapta­ tions of Zane Grey Westerns and all were successes. The first Hathaway film to attract critical attention was "Lives of a Bengal Lancer," made in 1935. The film, starring Gary Cooper, with the background of India, utilizes some of Hathaway's knowledge of that country, where he had traveled for almost a year after serving in the army in World War I.
