James Henry "Jimmy" Kinmel Sangster (born December 2, 1927 in Kinmel Bay, Wales , † August 19, 2011 in London ) was a British director , screenwriter and writer , who was mainly through his manuscripts for the central horror film productions of Hammer Film Productions got known. contents. Sangster came to film in 1941 as a second camera assistant. From 1946 to 1954 he worked on numerous films (including for Ealing Studios ) as an assistant director, including no fewer than 29 B-productions for Hammer, before he was promoted to production manager . After the enormous success of the SF thriller Schock , in which he had worked with the second unit for a few nights , he sat with the hammer producers Anthony Hinds and Michael Carreras and discussed possible further science fiction plots. Thirty minutes later he was hired by Hinds as a screenwriter for XX unknown : "If we like it, we'll pay you. If we don't, tough shit. You're still on the payroll as a production manager so what have you got to lose. " With his manuscripts for the remakes of famous horror film classics such as Frankenstein's Curse , Dracula and The Revenge of the Pharaohs , which were staged by Terence Fisher , he was instrumental in the success story of the small British production company towards the end of the 1950s. Fisher paid him respect in the early 1970s. Regarding the great success of the Gothic horror film Frankenstein's Curse , he said: "The greatest credit ought to go to Jimmy Sangster, who wrote the scripts and managed to make the original story so cinematic". Early on, Sangster, who occasionally wrote scripts for other production companies, switched to writing psychological thrillers for Hammer that gave him more pleasure than the Gothic horror films. His first script in this direction was The Snorkel in 1958 . Films such as A Dead Plays the Piano or House of Horror followed , often directed by Sangster's close friend Freddie Francis . His sixth and final "Mini-Hitchcock" for Hammer was The Fear , which Sangster himself directed. The film was also Sangster's third and last directorial work after the parodistic Frankenstein's horror , the script revision of which he had only taken on under the premise of being allowed to produce and direct, and Only Vampire Kiss Bloody , where he stood in for the accident Terence Fisher at extremely short notice and had no influence on the script or cast. All three directorial works by Sangster are considered to be of little significance. In the early 1970s, Sangster moved to Los Angeles, where he worked primarily as a script consultant and occasionally as a screenwriter on television series such as Cannon , The Boss , Columbo , The Night Hunter and The Six Million Dollar Man . From time to time he also wrote television and feature films before more or less retired in the 80s. He had already started writing detective novels in the 1960s, two of which were filmed for American television. By 1987 a total of eight novels from his pen appeared. Touchfeather (1968) and Touchfeather, Too (1970) have also appeared in German under the titles Die Lady flieg zum Hölle and Die Lady im Goldsarg . In 1977 Sangster was awarded the Golden Scroll, the predecessor of the Saturn Awards , by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films for his career as a screenwriter . In the 1990s, a German production company acquired an old, unfilmed script from Sangster, which he slightly revised. After another extensive revision by Natalie Scharf , with which Sangster was only partially satisfied, the German thriller Flashback - Murderous Holidays 2000 came into the cinemas with modest success. Jimmy Sangster, whose first marriage to Hammer hairdresser Monica Hustler and third marriage to actress Mary Peach , wrote an autobiography that appeared in 1997 and a book published in 2001 of his memories of working for Hammer Film Productions.

  • 1. Long Time Dead
    1. LONG TIME DEAD In 2002, the filmmaker Richard Stanley sounded the death knell of ‘the great British horror movie’. His ‘obituary’, which appeared in Steve Chibnall and Julian Petley’s edited volume British Horror Cinema, lamented the general absence of any real directorial talent at the turn of the millennium, noting that the horror film directors ‘who really knew what they were doing escaped to Hollywood a long time ago’ (Stanley 2002: 194). Stanley cited the direct-to- video occult horror The 13th Sign (Jonty Acton and Adam Mason, 2000) as offering a glimmer of hope, but concluded that it was ‘still a long way below the minimum standard of even the most vilified 1980s product’ (2002: 193). Stanley’s pessimism was not unfounded (even if his assessment of The 13th Sign was perhaps a bit unfair). Hammer Films – the once-prolific film studio responsible for the first full-colour horror film, The Curse of Frankenstein (Terence Fisher), in 1957, and a host of other classic British horrors over the next two decades – buckled under market pressure and ceased making feature films in 1979. The 1980s, therefore, saw the production of only a handful of British horror films, which, at any rate, were mostly thought of as American productions that had peripheral British involvement, such as Stanley Kubrick’s blockbuster The Shining (1980) and Clive Barker’s franchise- initiating Hellraiser (1987). Others from the decade were artsy one-offs, such as the Gothic fairy tale The Company of Wolves (Neil Jordan, 1984), or (as was most often the case) amateurish flops, such as the cheap and clumsy monster movie Rawhead Rex (George Pavlou, 1986).

  • Unseen Horrors: the Unmade Films of Hammer
    Unseen Horrors: The Unmade Films of Hammer Thesis submitted by Kieran Foster In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, March 2019 Abstract This doctoral thesis is an industrial study of Hammer Film Productions, focusing specifically on the period of 1955-2000, and foregrounding the company’s unmade projects as primary case studies throughout. It represents a significant academic intervention by being the first sustained industry study to primarily utilise unmade projects. The study uses these projects to examine the evolving production strategies of Hammer throughout this period, and to demonstrate the methodological benefits of utilising unmade case studies in production histories. Chapter 1 introduces the study, and sets out the scope, context and structure of the work. Chapter 2 reviews the relevant literature, considering unmade films relation to studies in adaptation, screenwriting, directing and producing, as well as existing works on Hammer Films. Chapter 3 begins the chronological study of Hammer, with the company attempting to capitalise on recent successes in the mid-1950s with three ambitious projects that ultimately failed to make it into production – Milton Subotsky’s Frankenstein, the would-be television series Tales of Frankenstein and Richard Matheson’s The Night Creatures. Chapter 4 examines Hammer’s attempt to revitalise one of its most reliable franchises – Dracula, in response to declining American interest in the company. Notably, with a project entitled Kali Devil Bride of Dracula. Chapter 5 examines the unmade project Nessie, and how it demonstrates Hammer’s shift in production strategy in the late 1970s, as it moved away from a reliance on American finance and towards a more internationalised, piece-meal approach to funding.

  • Derek Johnston "... and the BBC Created Hammer"
    Derek Johnston "... And the BBC Created Hammer": Examining the Interdependence of Public Service Broadcaster and Exploitation Film-maker Paper Given at the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ Study Day, University of East Anglia, 17 February 2010 The connection between the BBC and the Hammer film company is not often commented on beyond the passing association with each of the films which Hammer adapted individually from BBC properties. Yet the number of such properties as a whole and the importance of their position within the development of Hammer as a company has received less attention. This paper will investigate the way that Hammer's films based on BBC radio properties helped the company to establish itself as a successful British exploitation film-maker, while the adaptations of the Quatermass television serials led to the establishment of the Hammer identity as a British horror film producer. The paper will also examine the BBC attitude towards Hammer, as revealed through files at the BBC Written Archives Centre, which expose some of the tensions of the differing corporate identities. However, I will argue that it was these very tensions which were at the heart of the success of these properties in both media, and that the differing approaches to the material taken by the BBC and Hammer are suggestive of differing aspects of British post-War cultural identity. The monopoly BBC Television Service has acquired something of an image of being a high-minded, socially-concerned body, governed by Reith's principle that the BBC should 'inform, educate and entertain', presumably in that order.

  • Giorgio Monicelli
    Prefazione Trovo sempre difficile parlare del passato. I trent’anni spesi nell’industria cinematografica mi hanno insegnato a pianificare, creare e realizzare per il futuro. Per un produttore, sceneggiatore e regista, un film finito è qualcosa che deve essere giudicato dagli altri, lui lo ha esaminato infinite volte. Ogni film diventa il meglio che il materiale che lo ha prodotto era capace di dare. Quando è finito è solo una cosa del passato e quello che conta è solo il successivo... La selezione del materiale, lo sviluppo della sceneggiatura, la programmazione ed il budget. Il reperimento delle finanze, la scelta degli attori, dei tecnici, dell’equipaggiamento e quindi, quando tutto è pronto, bisogna superare il frenetico periodo delle riprese quando tutto deve fruttare al meglio ed ogni penny speso influenza il costo finale. E un lavoro creativo, frustrante, esilarante, ma sopra di tutto è un lavoro appagante. Alla fine viene il periodo più tranquillo di assestamento ed organizzazione di quanto fatto fino a quel momento, il mio periodo preferito. Il montaggio del materiale girato, i vari “proviamo a farlo così” per poi arrivare a quello che sembra essere il taglio migliore. Gli effetti sonori, la musica, il doppiaggio e finalmente la copia con il colore giusto, Il film è finito. Adesso mi si chiede specificatamente di guardare indietro per giudicare la vita della Hammer, dei 121 film che in qualche modo mi hanno visto protagonista, per affermare la loro importanza nella storia del cinema. Una cosa impossibile, almeno per me. Quando ripenso ad un certo film, rivedo immediatamente la gente che lo ha fatto, i posti dove è stato girato, i drammi ed i piaceri delle fasi di lavorazione.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ASU Digital Repository The Emerging Scientist: Collectives of Influence in the Science Network of Nineteenth-Century Britain by Kaitlin Southerly A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved March 2016 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Mark Lussier, Chair Ronald Broglio Daniel Bivona ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2016 ABSTRACT: At the beginning of the nineteenth century, there was no universal term to describe a person who practiced science. In 1833, the term “scientist” was proposed to recognize these individuals, but exactly who was represented by this term was still ambiguous. Supported by Bruno Latour’s theory of networks and hybridity, The Emerging Scientist takes a historical approach to analyze the different collectives of individuals who influenced the cultural perception of science and therefore aided in defining the role of the emerging scientist during the nineteenth century. Each chapter focuses on a collective in the science network that influenced the development of the scientist across the changing scientific landscape of the nineteenth century. Through a study of William Small and Herbert Spencer, the first chapter investigates the informal clubs that prove to be highly influential due, in part, to the freedom individuals gain by being outside of formal institutions. Through an investigation of the lives and works of professional astronomer, Caroline Herschel, and physicist and mathematician, James Clerk Maxwell, chapter two analyzes the collective of professional practitioners of science to unveil the way in which scientific advancement actually occurred.
