  • Bank of America Cinema: January
    BANK OF AMERICA CINEMA CLASSIC FILM SERIES JANUARY - JUNE 2010 FROM THE BOOTH The building is for sale, and who knows what the future will hold. What we can guarantee is at least another six months of great films. We’ve made sure this season will be one to remember, starting with G.W. Pabst’s silent masterpiece Pandora’s Box with live accompaniment by Jay Warren, and ending with Jane Russell’s, ah, assets in Howard Hughes’s notorious The Outlaw. In between, we’ve stocked up on films we’ve wanted to show for the past five years but couldn’t find through normal distributors—rare prints of such gems as Douglas Sirk’s weepie The First Legion, Anthony Mann’s scandalous God’s Little Acre, and John Cromwell’s elusive The Enchanted Cottage. Between March 13th and June 26th, blood pressures will rise and edges of seats will be perched on—we’re running the 1940 Republic serial The Mysterious Dr. Satan! And in April we have two radio films to celebrate the career of Chuck Schaden, who started this film series back in 1972. Thanks, Chuck. We literally wouldn’t be here without you.

No. Not even Family Affair? This is CBS?? Next fall it is . The network went the rumor mill one better-it didn't just "de-ruralize" its prime-time line-up. It cleaned house as never before at a season's end . Out, besides all those "corn pone shows," as one CBS official dubbed them, went Ed Sullivan's 23-year-old vodvil hour, Jim Nabors, Men at Law, The Interns, Hogan's Heroes, To Rome with Love and Lassie . Altogether. 13 series, to be replaced by eight new ones (four hours a week having to be turned back to local outlets under the FCC's new three-hour rule) . The new entries : a 90-minute movie made for TV (giving CBS three movie nights weekly) ; Glenn Ford in Cade's County, hopefully a 1971 version of Gunsmoke ; William Conrad as Cannon, a 1971 private-eye modeled after Dick Boone's role in Have Gun-Will Travel: David Janssen as O'Hara, a Treasury agent ; Rod Taylor and Dennis Cole in an unnamed drama about two 1914-style crime chasers ; Dick Van Dyke in the role of a small-town Johnny Carson ; Sandy Duncan in Funny Face, based on a 1957 Audrey Hepburn-Fred Astaire movie ; and Dean Jones in The Chicago Teddy Bears, ribbing Chicago's 1920 gang days . Conspicuously missing from the line-up : Jackie Gleason.

  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.

  • A Historical/Critical Analysis of the Tv Series the Fugitive
    A HISTORICAL/CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE TV SERIES THE FUGITIVE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By David P. Pierson, B.S. Denton, Texas May, 1993 Pierson, David P., A Historical/Critical Analysis Of The TV Series The Fugitive. Master of Science (Radio/TV/Film), May 1993, 168 pp., bibliography, 70 titles. In many respects, the popular 1960's television series, The Fugitive perfectly captured the swelling disillusionment with authority, alienation, and discontent that soon encompassed American society. This historical/critical study provides a broad overview of the economic, social, and political climate that surrounded the creation of The Fugitive. The primary focus of this study is the analysis of five discursive topics (individualism, marriage, justice & authority, professionalism, science and technology) within selected episodes and to show how they relate to broader cultural debates which occurred at that time. Finally, this study argues that The Fui1gitive is a part of a television adventure subgenre which we may classify as the contemporary "wanderer-hero" narrative and traces its evolution through selected television series from the last three decades.

  • Documenting the Director: Delbert Mann, His Life, His Work, and His Papers
    http://spider.georgetowncollege.edu/htallant/border/bs10/fr-harw.htm Border States: Journal of the Kentucky-Tennessee American Studies Association, No. 10 (1995) DOCUMENTING THE DIRECTOR: DELBERT MANN, HIS LIFE, HIS WORK, AND HIS PAPERS Sarah Harwell Vanderbilt University Library The Papers of Delbert Mann at the Special Collections Library of Vanderbilt University provide not only a rich chronicle of the award-winning television and motion picture director's life and work, but also document the history of aspects of American popular culture and motion picture art in the latter half of the twentieth century. Delbert Mann was born in Lawrence, Kansas, in 1920. He moved to Nashville, which he considers his home town, as a young boy when his father came to teach at Scarritt College. He graduated from Hume-Fogg High School and Vanderbilt University, where Dinah Shore and Mann's future wife, Ann Caroline Gillespie, were among his classmates. Also in Nashville he developed a lifelong friendship with Fred Coe through their mutual involvement in the Nashville Community Playhouse. Coe would play a very important role in Mann's life. A few months after his graduation from Vanderbilt in 1941, Mann joined the Eighth Air Force, for which he completed thirty-five missions as a pilot of a B-24 bomber. After the end of the Second World War he attended the Yale Drama School, followed by two years as director of the Town Theatre of Columbia, South Carolina. In 1949, Fred Coe, already a producer at NBC television network, invited Delbert Mann to come to New York to direct live television drama on the "Philco Television Playhouse." Then in its infancy, television offered many fine original plays to its relatively small viewing audience.
