  • 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.

  • Scene II. Creative Contexts All Hollywood Feature Films Are The
    Scene II. Creative Contexts All Hollywood feature films are the product of creative teamwork. Production designers define the ‘where’ – the place and setting of the story. Cinematographers create the visual mood and tone of the narrative. Directors tell the story, making the final decision about everything that appears on-screen. Together with the costume designer, this creative team makes a world – and the people in it – come alive. Scene Two of Hollywood Costume examines creative collaborations between costume designers, directors and actors. In this gallery, you will also see how costume designers work within specific contexts of production: cinematic genres, new technologies and censorship. The first gallery of the exhibition explored the perspective of the costume designer. This gallery is about the situations in which costume designers do their work. Collaborating with Directors The creative relationship between director and costume designer is an essential part of film-making. The four partnerships featured here are among the greatest collaborations in the history of Hollywood. Edith Head is the most famous costume designer of all time. Her career spanned the entire history of the Hollywood studio system, from her first film Wings in 1929 through 11 films designed for Alfred Hitchcock between 1946 and 1976. London-based Sandy Powell began her career working with Derek Jarman before going on to design costumes for such Hollywood directors as Martin Scorsese. Ann Roth has forged a creative partnership with director Mike Nichols over four decades, on both stage and screen. Colleen Atwood has been instrumental in realising Tim Burton’s artistic vision, creating costumes for Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood and Sweeney Todd.

  • Mitchell Leisen Papers
    Finding Aid for the Mitchell Leisen Papers Collection Processed by: Samuel A. Henley, 5.8.2019 Finding Aid Written by: Samuel A. Henley, 5.8.2019 OVERVIEW OF THE COLLECTION: Origination/Creator: Leisen, Mitchell Title of Collection: Mitchell Leisen Papers Date of Collection: 1898 -- 1972 Physical Description: 12 boxes, 33 Bound scripts Identification: Special Collection #24 Repository: American Film Institute Louis B. Mayer Library, Los Angeles, CA RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS: Access Restrictions: Collection is open for research. Copyright: The copyright interests in this collection remain with the creator. For more information, contact the Louis B. Mayer Library. Acquisition Method: Donated by Eleanor Broder (personal assistant) for Mitchell Leisen, from September 28, 1970 up until his death in 1971. BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORY NOTE: Mitchell Leisen, (born October 6, 1898, Menominee, Michigan, U.S. — died October 28, 1972, Los Angeles, California), American costume designer, art director, and film and television director. He entered the film industry in the 1920s, beginning in the art and costume departments. He directed his first film in 1933 with CRADLE SONG and became known for his keen sense of aesthetics in the glossy Hollywood melodramas and screwball comedies he turned out. His motion pictures — almost all of them made at Paramount — were often dominated by strong female leads such as Barbara Stanwyck, Paulette Goddard, Olivia de Havilland, Claudette Colbert, and Carole Lombard, who rarely were paired with a male actor of equal stature or presence. His best-known films include the Alberto Casella adaptation DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY (1934) and MURDER AT THE VANITIES (1934), a musical mystery story with Duke Ellington’s Orchestra, as well as MIDNIGHT (1939) and HOLD BACK THE DAWN (1941), both scripted by Billy Wilder.
