  • The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960S Promotional Featurettes
    The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960s Promotional Featurettes by DANIEL STEINHART Abstract: Before making-of documentaries became a regular part of home-video special features, 1960s promotional featurettes brought the public a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s production process. Based on historical evidence, this article explores the changes in Hollywood promotions when studios broadcasted these featurettes on television to market theatrical films and contracted out promotional campaigns to boutique advertising agencies. The making-of form matured in the 1960s as featurettes helped solidify some enduring conventions about the portrayal of filmmaking. Ultimately, featurettes serve as important paratexts for understanding how Hollywood’s global production work was promoted during a time of industry transition. aking-of documentaries have long made Hollywood’s flm production pro- cess visible to the public. Before becoming a staple of DVD and Blu-ray spe- M cial features, early forms of making-ofs gave audiences a view of the inner workings of Hollywood flmmaking and movie companies. Shortly after its formation, 20th Century-Fox produced in 1936 a flmed studio tour that exhibited the company’s diferent departments on the studio lot, a key feature of Hollywood’s detailed division of labor. Even as studio-tour short subjects became less common because of the restructuring of studio operations after the 1948 antitrust Paramount Case, long-form trailers still conveyed behind-the-scenes information. In a trailer for The Ten Commandments (1956), director Cecil B. DeMille speaks from a library set and discusses the importance of foreign location shooting, recounting how he shot the flm in the actual Egyptian locales where Moses once walked (see Figure 1).

  • Steinhart Runaway Hollywood Chapter3
    Chapter 3 Lumière, Camera, Azione! the personnel and practices of hollywood’s mode of international production as hollywood filmmakers gained more experience abroad over the years, they devised various production strategies that could be shared with one another. A case in point: in May 1961, Vincente Minnelli was preparing the production of Two Weeks in Another Town (1962), part of which he planned to shoot in Rome. Hollywood flmmaker Jean Negulesco communicated with Minnelli, ofering some advice on work- ing in Italy, where Negulesco had directed portions of Tree Coins in the Fountain (1954) and Boy on a Dolphin (1957) and at the time was producing his next flm, Jessica (1962): I would say that the most difcult and the most important condition of mak- ing a picture in Italy is to adapt yourself to their spirit, to their way of life, to their way of working. A small example: Tis happened to me on location. As I arrive on the set and everything is ready to be done at 9 o’clock—the people are having cofee. Now, your assistant also is having cofee—and if you are foolish enough to start to shout and saying you want to work, right away you’ll have an unhappy crew and not the cooperation needed for the picture. But if you have cofee with them, they will work for you with no time limit or no extra expense.1 Negulesco’s letter underscores a key lesson that Hollywood moviemakers learned overseas when confronted with diferent working hours, production practices, and cultural customs.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

    FİI~M YÖNETMENLERİ İLE SÖYLEŞİLER Çeviren: Andrew SARRIS İng. Ok. A. Fikret IŞIKYAKAR GEORGE CUKOR George Cukor: Biliyorsunuz, özür dilemekten daha kötü bir şey yok. Örneğin, bir film iyi olmadığı, ya da kötü biçimde eleş­ tirildiğiniz zaman, bunun hatası, şunun hatası yüzünden oldu demek çok kötü bir şey. Benim yaptığım sadece açık konuşmak: şansımız yaver gitmedi, bunu unutalım demek­ tir. Ama, mademki konunun detayına iniyorsunuz, size bu konuda bir şey söyliyelim. Gariptir ki, bir şeyler ortaya koy­ mak istediğim en iyi sahnelerin bazıları başarılı olamamış filmler içinde yer almaktadır. Bu, çok gariptir. Ama, Öykü• nün ana hatları böyle sahneleri içeriyor ise, o zaman, fil­ min sahneleri gerçekten bir şey ifade etmez. Ben, öykünün çok önemli olduğu kanısındayım. Kısaca öykünün anlatımı. Belki de öykü olmaksızın en iyi yapımı gerçekleştirebilir, rolü en güzel biçimde oynayabilirsiniz... ama, hepsi başa­ rısız olur, çünkü, izleyicinin dikkatini çekemezsiniz. 136 Richard Overstreet: Bu açıdan, The Chapman Report'un (Şehvet­ li Kadınlar) başarılı olduğu kanısında mısınız? GC: Onun ile ilgili olarak size bazı şeyler söylemeliyim. O, üç kadın ve bu kadınların sorunları ile ilgili bir öykü idi. Jane Fonda'nın sorunu, soğukluk (frigidity) idi... Temel sorun, kitabın oldukça coşturucu olması idi. Kanımca kitabın ya­ zarı, bir süre sonra, yayın evinin ricası üzerine, kitabın ge­ nel havasını gözden geçirdi. Böylece tüm sonuç, hummalı bir hastalıktan sonra meydana çıkmış gibi oldu. Mamafih, kitap çok hoşuma gitti. RO Bu kitabı, sizden film yapmanız isterimeden önce, okumuş muydunuz? GC Kitabı daha önce okudum... ve bir şeyden etkilendiğimi söy• leyebilirim: Fox şirketi ile sözleşmem vardı. Beni mahke­ meye vermeyi, ya da buna benzer bir iş yapmayı planlıyor­ yorlardı.
