  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone. PAUL VARNER is professor of English at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas.

Down In the "line", there were scores of cribs and brothels to risit and the prostitutes that worked there were eager to melieve a customer of his money.

  • The Western, Media, and Masculinity by Norman M. Gendelman A
    Coming Home: The Western, Media, and Masculinity By Norman M. Gendelman A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film & Media in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kristen Whissel, Chair Professor Mary Ann Doane Associate Professor Abigail De Kosnik Professor Emeritus Scott Simmon Fall 2020 Copyright 2020 by Norman Matthew Gendelman 1 Abstract Coming Home: The Western, Media, and Masculinity by Norman Matthew Gendelman Doctor of Philosophy in Film & Media University of California, Berkeley Professor Kristin Whissel, Chair In its analysis of four postwar Westerns (the films The Last Sunset and Gunman’s Walk, and the television Westerns Have Gun—Will Travel and The Rifleman), this dissertation finds a contradictory ideological strain intrinsic to the genre’s frontier legacy, as well as a critical semiosis specific to its production era. By centralizing the postwar era’s domestic concerns over and against the genre’s typical emphasis on the frontier mythos associated with Theodore Roosevelt, these Westerns subvert the stereotypical frontier/civilization dyad. By reconceiving the genre in a way that privileges “civilization” over “frontier,” this dissertation shows that the crucible of “savage” Nature, which formerly determined the exceptionality of the Westerner’s masculine character (as a synecdoche for an exceptional national one), is a cultural production that turns against civilization itself. Denuded of their naturalizing origin, and depicted as social productions within the dramatic action, the gunmen protagonists of each of these four Westerns additionally appear as complex gender constructions. By juxtaposing allusions from each Western to the ideological and aesthetic history of the genre and the socio-political context of the postwar era, the dissertation approaches the Cold War era as similarly mythological, constructed, and contradictory.
