  • Probablemente El Diablo: El Terror Elíptico De La Séptima Víctima
    PROBABLEMENTE EL DIABLO: EL TERROR ELÍPTICO DE LA SÉPTIMA VÍCTIMA Francisco García Gómez Universidad de Málaga RESUMEN La séptima víctima, la primera película dirigida por Mark Robson, constituye un magnífico ejemplo de la concepción del terror que tenía el productor Val Lewton. Su cuarto filme para la RKO, el primero no dirigido por Jacques Tourneur, pone de manifiesto que Lewton era el auténtico responsable de su ciclo fantástico. PALABRAS CLAVE: RKO, Val Lewton, Mark Robson, serie B, terror, satanismo, paladismo. ABSTRACT «Probably the Devil: The Elliptical Terror in The Seventh Victim». The Seventh Victim, first film directed by Mark Robson, is a magnificent example of the producer Val Lewton’s terror concept. His fourth RKO film, the first without Jacques Tourneur, reveals that Lewton was the genuine responsible of his fantastic cycle. KEY WORDS : RKO, Val Lewton, Mark Robson, B Film, terror, satanism, paladism. 163 Una película a redescubrir y reivindicar, ése es el caso de La séptima víctima (The Seventh Victim, 1943), la cuarta del ciclo de nueve cintas de terror de serie B producidas por Val Lewton en la RKO entre 1942 y 19461. Dirigida por Mark Robson en su debut como realizador, fue además la primera cuya dirección no corrió a cargo de Jacques Tourneur, tras La mujer pantera (Cat People, 1942), Yo anduve con un zombi (I Walked with a Zombie, 1943) y El hombre leopardo (The Leopard Man, 1943). Precisamente a consecuencia de los grandes éxitos de público obtenidos con estas tres, el estudio decidió separar al tándem Lewton-Tourneur, convencido de que rendirían el doble por separado, poniendo en seguida al francés al frente de mayores presupuestos.

  • Realism, Fantasy, and the ‘H’ Certificate: Rethinking Horror Cinema in Britain During the 1940S by Paul William Frith
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of East Anglia digital repository Realism, Fantasy, and the ‘H’ Certificate: Rethinking Horror Cinema in Britain during the 1940s by Paul William Frith Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Film, Television and Media September 2014 ©This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Existing research on British cinema during the 1940s has often assumed an opposition between realism and fantasy or, as it is also known, 'realism and tinsel'. However, through an analysis of contemporary critical reception and censorship discourses, it becomes apparent how this division was nowhere near as clearly defined as is often argued. Discussions surrounding a supposed ‘ban’ on horror during 1942- 45, and the subsequent debates regarding realism in the post-war climate, demonstrate how realism was often associated with fantasy and vice versa. While the ‘quality’ realist film of the 1940s demonstrates a concern with verisimilitude and the reproduction of the surface appearances of reality, when confronting the obscene or the taboo hidden below this surface realism was deemed to be far more closely associated with ‘horrific’ fantasy. This thesis therefore looks beyond common perceptions of British cinema during this period through an analysis of contemporary discussions surrounding the relationship between ‘realism and tinsel’, with a particular emphasis upon the misapprehension that the horror ‘ban’ signified a falling interest in fantasy in favour of the ‘quality’ of realism.

  • VAL LEWTON L'orrore Suggerito
    VAL LEWTON l’orrore suggerito Val Lewton è nato a Yalta (in Crimea, allora Russia zarista) il 7 maggio 1904. Il suo vero nome era Vladimir Ivan Leventon. Sua madre Nina era la figlia di Jacob Leventon, una farmacista che, secondo quanto raccontano le storie di famiglia, fu al servizio dello Zar Alessandro III ed ebbe tra i suoi pazienti Anton Cechov. Jacob ebbe tre figlie, Volodya, Nina ed Adelaide. La prima divenne una giornalista-corrispondente. Adelaide studiò recitazione presso la Società Filarmonica di Mosca e, dopo sposata, adottò il nome d’arte di Alla Nazimova. Lasciato il marito in Russia, la Nazimova raggiunse gli Stati Uniti con una compagnia teatrale. Dall’inverno del 1906 ella si stabili a New York divenendo una prima attrice dei teatri di Broadway in produzioni come Hedda Gabler e Casa di bambola. Intanto Nina Leventon, dopo aver studiato piano e canto a Dresda, raggiunse di nuovo la Russia per stare vicina al padre malato. Qui, nonostante il parere contrario della famiglia, sposò Maximilian H. Nel 1900 nacque Lucy, quattro anni dopo Vladimir; nel 1906 Nina si decise a lasciare il marito, giocatore incallito e donnaiolo, riassunse il suo nome da ragazza e non fece mai più menzione del cognome di suo marito. Dopo alcuni anni di lavori saltuari, Nina emigrò in America nel 1909 e raggiunse Alla Nazimova di cui diventò la segretaria; contemporaneamente cominciò a pubblicare brevi racconti sull’Harper’s Magazine. Nei 1916 la Nazimova debuttò nel cinema per la M.G.M. e Nina trovò lavoro presso il reparto-soggetti della Casa.
