    A Volatile Ventriloquy With a Vicious Dummy: Sid and Nancy and the War Between Image and Soundtrack MONICA FOSTER Monica Foster is passionate about Classical Hollywood and exploitation cinema, psychoanalysis, the 20th century, and David Lynch’s voice. During her time with the Cinema Studies program, she has written about Daisies, Gothic paperbacks and Mario Bava, as well as the history of the Rialto Theatre in Times Square. 51 5 When Judy Vermorel interviewed notorious Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious in 1977, she asked him what types of films he enjoyed. His response was one of snobbery and complete negation, a stab at the cultural status and esteem that film holds as a medium. Vicious called film a fantasy, a pretense, a pack of lies, and criticized its tendency to glamorize circumstance (Slycheetah). What remains uncertain, however, is if these are Vicious’ own opinions or one of the collective punk milieu that he was a part of. The incorporation of fantasy and the glamorization of life is integral to the spectacular and dazzling musicals of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Those musicals were devoured by audiences because the story worlds provided an escapist fantasy from the economically depressed one they inhabited. The Golden Age musicals of the 1930s revelled in excess and spectacle, as did catalogue musicals including Mark Sandrich’s Shall We Dance (1937) and George Stevens’ A Damsel in Distress (1937), which celebrated songwriters, in this case, George and Ira Gershwin (Cohan 12). These films were colourful, pleasant, and happy-go-lucky, striving to make their audiences leave the theatre with optimism and hope for the future (12).

  • “White Christmas”—Bing Crosby (1942) Added to the National Registry: 2002 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “White Christmas”—Bing Crosby (1942) Added to the National Registry: 2002 Essay by Cary O’Dell Crosby’s 1945 holiday album Original release label “Holiday Inn” movie poster With the possible exception of “Silent Night,” no other song is more identified with the holiday season than “White Christmas.” And no singer is more identified with it than its originator, Bing Crosby. And, perhaps, rightfully so. Surely no other Christmas tune has ever had the commercial or cultural impact as this song or sold as many copies--50 million by most estimates, making it the best-selling record in history. Irving Berlin wrote “White Christmas” in 1940. Legends differ as to where and how though. Some say he wrote it poolside at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona, a reasonable theory considering the song’s wishing for wintery weather. Some though say that’s just a good story. Furthermore, some histories say Berlin knew from the beginning that the song was going to be a massive hit but another account says when he brought it to producer-director Mark Sandrich, Berlin unassumingly described it as only “an amusing little number.” Likewise, Bing Crosby himself is said to have found the song only merely adequate at first. Regardless, everyone agrees that it was in 1942, when Sandrich was readying a Christmas- themed motion picture “Holiday Inn,” that the song made its debut. The film starred Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby and it needed a holiday song to be sung by Crosby and his leading lady, Marjorie Reynolds (whose vocals were dubbed). Enter “White Christmas.” Though the film would not be seen for many months, millions of Americans got to hear it on Christmas night, 1941, when Crosby sang it alone on his top-rated radio show “The Kraft Music Hall.” On May 29, 1942, he recorded it during the sessions for the “Holiday Inn” album issued that year.

  • Hollywood Modern: Film Design of the 1930S February-March 2011 AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center
    Hollywood Modern: Film Design of the 1930s February-March 2011 AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center In conjunction with the National Building Museum's exhibit, "Designing Tomorrow: America's World's Fairs of the 1930s," AFI Silver presents this series of films featuring an eclectic, and occasionally over-the-top, array of modernist set designs, reflecting the forward-looking design sensibilities of the 1930s. At a time of incredible economic difficulty, Hollywood provided moviegoers in the 1930s with sparkling fantasies of fashion, urban decadence and nights on the town, set within environments offering the most deluxe, most glamorous, most modern styles available. Many of the same design trends seen onscreen were displayed in demonstration homes at the World's Fairs of the 1930s, from chrome accents, modular furnishings and plate glass, to synthetic fabrics and surfaces. Whether it is the appearance of Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House in FEMALE, the spiraling lobby of GRAND HOTEL, William Powell's penthouse in STAR OF MIDNIGHT or the glittering Silver Sandal Club in SWING TIME, examples of modern architecture and design can be seen within a long list of films considered classics of Hollywood's golden age. Washington Post film critic Ann Hornaday and National Building Museum curator Deborah Sorensen will introduce the Hollywood Modern series before the screening of Grand Hotel on February 5. This kick-off discussion will focus on how, at a time of great economic difficulty, Hollywood provided moviegoers with glamorous fantasies of modern living filled with fashion, urban decadence, and nights on the town.

  • 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.

  • The Rhythm of Learning: Why the Shortest Distance Between Cultures Is
    The Rhythm of Learning: Why the Shortest Distance Between Cultures is Tin Pan Alley By Holly Van Leuven I In the fall of 2010, I began teaching my first English as a Second Language (ESL) class. For eight weeks, nine immigrants from Spain and Russia between the ages of forty and eighty joined me in the tiny office of Operation P.E.A.C.E. in Boston. Our textbook was Steps in Time, the autobiography of American singing and dancing legend Fred Astaire. For homework, my students read through Astaire’s song lyrics. In class, we watched his films. The more my students saw of this cultural genius, the more fluent and eloquent their use of the English talent became to discuss their amazement. How could a man perform like that? they asked, and where did I ever get the idea for this class? The second question proved easier to answer: The idea for this class came from my own love of Fred Astaire’s musicals. His effortless cadence in such routines as “Cheek to Cheek,” the incredible lyrical abilities of Irving Berlin, and the beautiful Art Deco sets of Astaire’s 1930s musicals at RKO Studios never fail to stimulate my imagination. Watching Astaire’s mastery of dance has always inspired me to pursue excellence in my chosen art: creative writing. Who couldn’t benefit from watching these timeless films and listening to these masterful songs? I wanted to find out, and so I brought Fred Astaire to students hoping to improve their English. In the first week of class, my students took turns reading aloud the lyrics of the song, “Cheek to Cheek.” While Irving Berlin’s lyrics are simple and melodious, my intermediate students sought my help in deciphering some of the outdated phrases.
