  • The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960S Promotional Featurettes
    The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960s Promotional Featurettes by DANIEL STEINHART Abstract: Before making-of documentaries became a regular part of home-video special features, 1960s promotional featurettes brought the public a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s production process. Based on historical evidence, this article explores the changes in Hollywood promotions when studios broadcasted these featurettes on television to market theatrical films and contracted out promotional campaigns to boutique advertising agencies. The making-of form matured in the 1960s as featurettes helped solidify some enduring conventions about the portrayal of filmmaking. Ultimately, featurettes serve as important paratexts for understanding how Hollywood’s global production work was promoted during a time of industry transition. aking-of documentaries have long made Hollywood’s flm production pro- cess visible to the public. Before becoming a staple of DVD and Blu-ray spe- M cial features, early forms of making-ofs gave audiences a view of the inner workings of Hollywood flmmaking and movie companies. Shortly after its formation, 20th Century-Fox produced in 1936 a flmed studio tour that exhibited the company’s diferent departments on the studio lot, a key feature of Hollywood’s detailed division of labor. Even as studio-tour short subjects became less common because of the restructuring of studio operations after the 1948 antitrust Paramount Case, long-form trailers still conveyed behind-the-scenes information. In a trailer for The Ten Commandments (1956), director Cecil B. DeMille speaks from a library set and discusses the importance of foreign location shooting, recounting how he shot the flm in the actual Egyptian locales where Moses once walked (see Figure 1).

    Audience Guide Written and compiled by Jack Marshall Theater you can afford to see— plays you can’t afford to miss! About The American Century Theater The American Century Theater was founded in 1994. We are a professional company dedicated to presenting great, important, but overlooked American plays of the twentieth century . what Henry Luce called “the American Century.” The company’s mission is one of rediscovery, enlightenment, and perspective, not nostalgia or preservation. Americans must not lose the extraordinary vision and wisdom of past playwrights, nor can we afford to surrender our moorings to our shared cultural heritage. Our mission is also driven by a conviction that communities need theater, and theater needs audiences. To those ends, this company is committed to producing plays that challenge and move all Americans, of all ages, origins and points of view. In particular, we strive to create theatrical experiences that entire families can watch, enjoy, and discuss long afterward. These audience guides are part of our effort to enhance the appreciation of these works, so rich in history, content, and grist for debate. The American Century Theater is a 501(c)(3) professional nonprofit theater company dedicated to producing significant 20th Century American plays and musicals at risk of being forgotten. This program is supported in part by Arlington County through the Arlington Commission for the Arts and Arlington Cultural Affairs, a division of Arlington Economic Development; the Virginia Commission for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Arts; the Arlington Community Foundation; and many generous donors.

Fox. The shows they wrote for included “The Honeymooners,” ‘The Phil Silvers Show,” “The Red Skelton Hour,” Bob Hope specials, “Here’s Lucy,” “All in the Family,” and “Maude.” These five writers were working in the earliest days of the medium and spent years writing for the personalities—from performers to producers—who pioneered and defined it. Most of them also wrote scripts during one of broadcast television’s greatest periods of transformation, when comedy took a decidedly topical turn that continued to have a significant impact on television comedy in the decades that followed. iii Table of Contents Introduction ……………………………..….……………….……..……1 Chapter One: Sydney Zelinka ……………………………....…..….…..15 Chapter Two: Larry Rhine ……………………………………......……32 Chapter Three: Milt Josefsberg ……………………...…….…...…....…58 Chapter Four: Seaman Jacobs and Fred S.

Thru The Stage Door has been created by seasoned educators and combined with technology to bring lessons alive in the classroom and engage students. Whether you are teaching the Arts, Social Studies or even Science, you will find rich Broadway content and curriculum compliant lessons. When I was seven years old, my parents took me to see the original Broadway cast of Mame on Broadway. Now, more than four decades later I can still remember every moment of that visceral experience. I knew at that moment that this was the world in which I wanted to work and for 2 decades now, I wake up every morning thrilled that I’ve been fortunate to work in this truly magical world. I was also incredibly lucky to grow up in a school with a dynamic arts program that fueled my desire daily. Sadly, arts programs have been cut in most schools now and an entire generation is growing up without the many skills arts can teach. Broadway Theatrical, LLC is committed to keeping the arts in the classroom with Thru The Stage Door. As a companion piece to seeing a Broadway show or as stand-alone lessons, Thru The Stage Door is designed to stimulate creativity, inspire collaboration and engage a new generation of theatre-goers.
