Freeview 81 Film Club Sky 328 newsletter Freesat 306 MAY/JUNE 2020 Virgin 445 Dear Supporters of Film and TV History, Hoping as usual that you are all safe and well in these troubled times. Our cinema doors are still well and truly open, I’m pleased to say, the channel has been transmitting 24 hours a day 7 days a week on air with a number of premières for you all and orders have been posted out to you all every day as normal. It’s looking like a difficult few months ahead with lack of advertising on the channel, as you all know it’s the adverts that help us pay for the channel to be transmitted to you all for free and without them it’s very difficult. But we are confident we can get over the next few months. All we ask is that you keep on spreading the word about the channel in any way you can. Our audiences are strong with 4 million viewers per week , but it’s spreading the word that’s going to help us get over this. Can you believe it Talking Pictures TV is FIVE Years Old later this month?! There’s some very interesting selections in this months newsletter. Firstly, a terrific deal on The Humphrey Jennings Collections – one of Britain’s greatest filmmakers. I know lots of you have enjoyed the shorts from the Imperial War Museum archive that we have brought to Talking Pictures and a selection of these can be found on these DVD collections. -
Complete Film Noir
COMPLETE FILM NOIR (1940 thru 1965) Page 1 of 18 CONSENSUS FILM NOIR (1940 thru 1959) (1960-1965) dThe idea for a COMPLETE FILM NOIR LIST came to me when I realized that I was “wearing out” a then recently purchased copy of the Film Noir Encyclopedia, 3rd edition. My initial plan was to make just a list of the titles listed in this reference so I could better plan my film noir viewing on AMC (American Movie Classics). Realizing that this plan was going to take some keyboard time, I thought of doing a search on the Internet Movie DataBase (here after referred to as the IMDB). By using the extended search with selected criteria, I could produce a list for importing to a text editor. Since that initial list was compiled almost twenty years ago, I have added additional reference sources, marked titles released on NTSC laserdisc and NTSC Region 1 DVD formats. When a close friend complained about the length of the list as it passed 600 titles, the idea of producing a subset list of CONSENSUS FILM NOIR was born. Several years ago, a DVD producer wrote me as follows: “I'd caution you not to put too much faith in the film noir guides, since it's not as if there's some Film Noir Licensing Board that reviews films and hands out Certificates of Authenticity. The authors of those books are just people, limited by their own knowledge of and access to films for review, so guidebooks on noir are naturally weighted towards the more readily available studio pictures, like Double Indemnity or Kiss Me Deadly or The Big Sleep, since the many low-budget B noirs from indie producers or overseas have mostly fallen into obscurity.” There is truth in what the producer says, but if writers of (film noir) guides haven’t seen the films, what chance does an ordinary enthusiast have. -

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. -

Une jeune femme, Christina, aura d’abord couru jusqu’à un pont d’où elle se sera jetée, s’emmêlant sans doute dans les conferves – ces algues d’eau douce capillaires – qu’on a pu voir, par la plongée de l’objectif de la caméra, étaler leur toison méandreuse juste sous la surface du courant. Du détail de sa noyade, nous ne saurons rien. L’homme qu’aime cette Christina vient d’être décapité sous ses yeux : handicapée par un corps difforme qui la fait pathétiquement claudiquer, elle n’a pu courir pour arrêter à temps une sentence injuste. -
“Frankenstein Created Woman” (1966) by Dr
Short Review: “Frankenstein Created Woman” (1966) by Dr. John L. Flynn Frankenstein Created Woman (1966). Hammer Films/Great Britain, 86 min. Director: Terence Fisher. Producer: Anthony Nelson Keyes. Screenwriter: John Elder (Anthony Hinds). Cast: Peter Cushing, Susan Denberg, Thorley Walters, Robert Morris, Duncan Lamont, Peter Blythe, Alan McNaughton, Peter Madden, and Derek Fowlds. Baron Frankenstein (Cushing) and his monster were resurrected by Hammer for a fourth time in this installment that finds the mad doctor determined to endow his new creation with a soul. When a young man (Morris) wrongly accused of murder is sent to the guillotine, and his crippled lover, Christina (Playboy centerfold Denberg), grief-stricken with his death, drowns herself in the river, Frankenstein fuses the young man's soul with the woman’s shapely, bikini-clad body. But before he can share his research with the world, the Creature sets off to avenge the two young people's deaths. With the body of a woman and the soul of a man, the monster first seduces, then gruesomely kills those responsible. In the end, faced with tremendous guilt, the Creature throws itself into the river, while Frankenstein watches helplessly, unable to save it from drowning. Sexy and very erotic, this was one of Hammer Films most successful later projects. Denberg is stunning as the Baron’s new creation, and well worth the price of admission. The film was followed three years later by “Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed!” Copyright 2014 by John L. Flynn, Ph.D. . -
A Groundbreaking International Survey of Forty Vampire Films Marks the Centenary of Bram Stoker's Dracula
The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release March 1997 Contact: Graham Leggat 212/708-9752 A GROUNDBREAKING INTERNATIONAL SURVEY OF FORTY VAMPIRE FILMS MARKS THE CENTENARY OF BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA International Series Features Classic, Rare, and Offbeat Variations on Vampire Mythologies CinemaDracula April 17-May 20, 1997 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1 The vampire is a seminal icon around the world, present in one form or another in nearly every culture's folklore, literature, and, during the last one hundred years, film. On the occasion of the centenary of Bram Stoker's influential novel Dracula, whose dark Count has dominated our century, The Museum of Modern Art will present CinemaDracula, an international survey of forty films that draw on the novel and other vampire stories. The series, which opens April 17, features films from 14 different countries and is the most comprehensive retrospective of vampire films ever assembled. It concludes May 20. At the heart of CinemaDracula are three classics of the horror genre that are also regarded as masterpieces of cinema: F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu: Eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922), Carl Th. Dreyer's Vampyr (1932), and Terence Fisher's Horror of Dracula (1958). The retrospective will present rare 35mm screenings of these films, including the New York premiere of the most complete extant version of Nosferatu, preserved with original color tints, on loan from the Munich Filmmuseum. 11 West 53 Street, New York, New York 10019 Tel: 212-708-9400 Fax: 212-708-9889 The series will also honor other unforgettable screen Draculas: Bela Lugosi, as the seductive continental in Tod Browning's 1931 Dracula; Klaus Kinski, in Werner Herzog's 1979 remake of Nosferatu; Frank Langella, in John Badham's 1979 adaptation of the Broadway play; and Gary Oldman, in Francis Ford Coppola's baroque 1992 interpretation. -
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.
