  • Notes for Where the Sidewalk Ends
    IAP Film Series, January 2012: Five Émigré Directors and the Rise of Film Noir SCREENING #6: Where the Sidewalk Ends (96 minutes) Production Company Twentieth Century Fox / Produced by Otto Preminger US Release 7 July 1950 (New York) Director Otto Preminger: He was born in 1905, probably in a Ukrainian region of the Austro- Hungarian Empire, but possibly in Vienna; his family were middle-class Jews. His father became a leading prosecutor for the government, and the family relocated to Vienna in 1915. Otto studied law at the University of Vienna and got his degree in 1928; but by then he had begun a career in the theater, at first under the tutelage of Max Reinhardt. Starting as an actor (of moderate success), he moved into directing and also directed a few German-language films in the early 1930s. In 1935 he was invited by producer Joseph Schenck to come work at Fox in the USA, to which he agreed. Arriving in New York in 1936, he stopped off to direct a play, then went on to Hollywood. His work at Fox came to an abrupt halt in 1938, when he was fired by Zanuck while directing the “A-List” film Kidnapped. So he studied English and resumed a career directing plays in New York and elsewhere. He was called back to Fox in 1942, originally to act in various films. In 1944 he was hired by Zanuck to produce the controversial film version of Laura, eventually becoming its director. The success of this “scandalous” film noir led to his being hired to direct (and often to produce) 13 more films at Fox—the fine film Where the Sidewalk Ends being the next to last.

  • October 4, 2016 (XXXIII:6) Joseph L. Mankiewicz: ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), 138 Min
    October 4, 2016 (XXXIII:6) Joseph L. Mankiewicz: ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), 138 min All About Eve received 14 Academy Award nominations and won 6 of them: picture, director, supporting actor, sound, screenplay, costume design. It probably would have won two more if four members of the cast hasn’t been in direct competition with one another: Davis and Baxter for Best Actress and Celeste Holm and Thelma Ritter for Best Supporting Actress. The story is that the studio tried to get Baxter to go for Supporting but she refused because she already had one of those and wanted to move up. Years later, the same story goes, she allowed as maybe she made a bad career move there and Bette David allowed as she was finally right about something. Directed by Joseph L.

  • Pioneer Film Director Honored / HENRY KING
    The Museum of Modern Art 'iWest 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modemart NO. 57 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PIONEER FILM DIRECTOR HONORED SEVEN WEEK RETROSPECTIVE FOR HENRY KING CO-SPONSORED BY MUSEUM AND DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA "...the most underpublicized filmmaker in Hollywood. This tall, lean, handsome, urbane, but unflamboyant model of a corporation president makes film hits so easily, so efficiently, and so calmly that he is not news in a community of blaring trumpets, crashing cymbals and screaming egos." -Frank Capra Henry King, one of the founding fathers of American film, who began his career early in the century, remains today one of the legendary figures in Hollywood, and though he preserves his privacy, his films such as "The Song of Bernadette," "Twelve O'clock High" and "The Gunfighter" speak for themselves, and these and other major works will be part of a seven week retrospective given in King's honor by New York's Museum of Modern Art in association with the Directors Guild of America. The Virginia-born director, who has specialized, like D.W. Griffith and John Ford, in Americana themes since his first classic, "Tol'able David," and later with "State Fair", "In Old Chicago," "Jesse James" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band," will make a trip from the West Coast to New York to participate in the opening of this program. On June 29 and 30, he will address the Museum audiences, although he seldom makes public appearances. While he contributed to Hollywood's worldwide reputation, King, who recognized such early superstars as Richard Barthelmess, Ronald Colman and Gary Cooper and gave them their first leading roles on the screen, has managed to retain his relative anonymity in an ostentatious environment.

  • Leave Her to Heaven
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE 目白大学 人文学研究 第10号 2014年 151─161 151 Leave Her to Heaven マーヴィン・スミス Marvin SMITH Keywords： cinema, film noir, film adaptation キーワード： 映画、フィルム・ノワール、映画化 Introduction Based on Ben Ames William’s 1944 best-selling novel and released on December 20, 1945, Leave Her to Heaven received the 1946 Academy Award for Best Color Cinematography for Leon Shamroy’s brilliant Technicolor photography.i ） Shot at eight different locations, principally in the American Southwest, it offered up breath-taking desert vistas and scenes of lakes and rustic living. There were no dark cities, no rain-drenched detectives, no gangster argot, and no knives or guns. In other words, on the surface, Leave Her to Heaven seems to be the antithesis of what one would expect from film noir. However, it cannot be denied that this film is thematically one of the quintessential film noirs of the 1940s, offering one of the most extreme examples of a femme fatale within the film noir canon. Over the years, the film’s reputation has grown. Currently（as of September 2013）, it is rated 7.6/10 by The Internet Movie Database. Since its release, it has been praised on multiple levels over the years. For example, Pauline Kael, the influential critic of The New Yorker magazine, found its over-the-top story to be, “Gothic psychologizing melodrama, so preposterously full-blown and straight-faced that it’s juicy entertainment.”（Kael 415） Others have praised it for those aspects mentioned above ─its seemingly incongruous setting and the use of Technicolor in a film noir: The country settings of Leave Her to Heaven do not suit the urbane locale usually associated with film noir.

  • Filmmakers from Berlin and Vienna Exiled in Hollywood
    Migration and artistic identities Filmmakers from Berlin and Vienna exiled in Hollywood Laure SCHNAPPER ABSTRACT The symbiosis of European and American cultures enabled Hollywood to produce the greatest masterpieces of cinema, as filmmakers from Berlin and Vienna, during the 1930s in particular, brought their know-how and culture, which they adapted to their new environment. German expressionism, psychoanalysis and Viennese humour contributed to film noir, light and serious comedy, melodrama and the Western. Poster for the film Casablanca, directed by Michael Curtiz, starring Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Conrad Veidt and Peter Lorre, 1942. During the 1920s, German cinema showed the way for modernity, as the UFA (Universum Film AG) studio in Berlin- Tempelhof, the largest and most advanced in Europe, brought together the greatest talents, including the producer Erich Pommer, and the directors Fritz Lang and Ernst Lubitsch. The great Hollywood studios, which had offices in Berlin, sought to attract the most talented directors; for instance in 1922, Paramount brought Ernst Lubitsch (1892-1947), who became the uncontested master of the elegant American comedy, and the famous “Lubitsch touch,” but who also released a biting satire of Nazi Germany in To Be or Not to Be. Universal brought in William Wyler (Wilhelm Weiller) (1902-1981) that same year, Warner called on the Hungarian Michael Curtiz (1886-1962) in 1926, and Fox gave a contract to Wilhelm Murnau (1888-1931) in 1927. Passed over by both Vienna and Berlin, Curtiz directed a series of masterpieces in America that have subsequently become classics, notably with the actor Errol Flynn, who starred in Captain Blood in 1935 and especially in The Adventures of Robin Hood in 1938.
