  • Legends of Screenwriting “Richard Maibaum” by Ray Morton
    Legends of Screenwriting “Richard Maibaum” By Ray Morton Screenwriters are generally a cerebral lot and not usually thought of as men (or women) of action, but Richard Maibaum certainly was, especially when it comes to writing about the adventures of a certain British secret agent with a triple digit code name and a license to kill. Maibaum was born on May 26, 1909 in New York City. He attended New York University and the University of Iowa and then became an actor on Broadway. In 1930 he began writing plays, including 1932’s The Tree, 1933’s Birthright, 1935’s Sweet Mystery of Life (with Michael Wallach and George Haight) and 1939’s See My Lawyer (with Harry Clark). When MGM bought the rights to Sweet Mystery of Life to use as the basis for its 1936 film Gold Diggers of 1937 (screenplay by Warren Duff), the studio also signed Maibaum, who moved to Hollywood and began writing for the movies. Between 1936 and 1942 he wrote or co-wrote scripts for MGM, Columbia, Twentieth Century- Fox, and Paramount, including We Went to College (1936), The Bad Man of Brimstone (1937), The Lady and the Mob (1939), 20 Mule Team (1940), I Wanted Wings (1941), and Ten Gentlemen from West Point (1942). After the United States entered World War II, Richard spent several years in the Army’s Combat Film Division. Following the war, Maibaum became a writer/producer at Paramount, where he wrote his first spy movie— O.S.S. (1946), which was based on files and research provided by the actual Office of Strategic Services.

At the newspaper's height, circulation was approximatly 18,000 copies. The original editorial collective included Denis Lemon (editor), Martin Corbett - who later was an active member of ACT UP, David Seligman, a founder member of the London Gay Switchboard collective, Ian Dunn of the Scottish Minorities Group, Glenys Parry (national chair of CHE), Suki J. Pitcher, and Doug Pollard, who later went on to launch the weekly gay newspaper, Gay Week (affectionately known as Gweek). Amongst Gay News' early "Special Friends" were Graham Chapman of Monty Python's Flying Circus, his partner David Sherlock, and Antony Grey, secretary of the UK Homosexual Law Reform Society from 1962 to 1970. Gay News was the response to a nationwide demand by lesbians and gay men for news of the burgeoning liberation movement. The paper played a pivotal role in the struggle for gay rights in the 1970s in the UK. It was described by Alison Hennegan (who joined the newspaper as Assistant Features Editor and Literary Editor in June 1977) as the movement's "debating chamber".

    Notes and References CHAPTER 1 To provide an intellectual and cultural framework for examining Carol Reed's films, a history of the British cinema from its origins through to the Second World War is offered in this chapter. Although Reed began directing in 1935, 1939 seemed a tidier, more logical cut-off point for the survey. All the information in the chapter is synthesized from several excellent works on the subject: Roy Armes's A Critical History of the British Cinema, Ernest Betts' The Film Business, Ivan Butler's Cinema in Britain, Denis Gifford's British Film Catalogue, Rachel Low's History of the British Film, and George Perry's The Great British Picture Show.

  • War Cinema– Or How British Films Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Affluent Society
    1 THE PROFESSIONAL OFFICER CLASS IN POST- WAR CINEMA– OR HOW BRITISH FILMS LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Andrew Roberts College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences of Brunel University 22nd September2014 2 ABSTRACT My central argument is that mainstream British cinema of the 1951 – 1965 period marked the end of the paternalism, as exemplified by a professional ‘officer class’, as consumerism gradually came to be perceived as the norm as opposed to a post-war enemy. The starting point is 1951, the year of the Conservative victory in the General Election and a time which most films were still locally funded. The closing point is 1965, by which point the vast majority of British films were funded by the USA and often featured a youthful and proudly affluent hero. Thus, this fourteen year describes how British cinema moved away from the People as Hero guided by middle class professionals in the face of consumerism. Over the course of this work, I will analyse the creation of the archetypes of post-war films and detail how the impact of consumerism and increased Hollywood involvement in the UK film industry affected their personae. However, parallel with this apparently linear process were those films that questioned or attacked the wartime consensus model. As memories of the war receded, and the Rank/ABPC studio model collapsed, there was an increasing sense of deracination across a variety of popular British cinematic genres. From the beginning of our period there is a number films that infer that the “Myth of the Blitz”, as developed in a cinematic sense, was just that and our period ends with films that convey a sense of a fragmenting society.

    JL llv Shakespeare Promptbooks LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN x792.9 cop. 3 REFERENCE The Shakespeare Promptbooks University of Illinois Press, Urbana and London, 1965 The Shakespeare Promptbooks A Descriptive Catalogue CHARLES H. SHATTUCK .U!UC © 1965 by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. Manu- factured in the United States of America. Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 65-11737. C*V3 Preface and Acknowledgments The terminal date of this catalogue of Shakespeare promptbooks is the year 1961. But this is not the real end of it. The Festival Thea- tres of the three Stratfords, whose books I have accounted for, have already added four seasons, and presumably they will march on to the millennium, accumulating more (and ever more illuminating) rec- ords of their productions. A fourth Stratford in New Zealand has been rumored. The newly established National Theatre in England, New York's Shakespeare in the Park, and many another festival theatre yet to be created or to be professionalized, besides independent produc- tions in usual frequency, will swell the records of the future. Nor is the catalogue final for the theatre of the more remote past. Although I have combed the well-known depositories of theatrical ana and canvassed by mail several hundred libraries, museums, and histor- ical societies where older promptbooks might be stored, undoubtedly I have missed a good many. Some now in private hands will eventually drift into public collections. Some now buried unrecognized in the general shelves of library stacks, or even taken for junk and scheduled for the dustbin, may become known for what they are and be moved to prouder places.
