    ASC Archival Photos – All Captions Draft 8/31/2018 Affair in Trinidad - R. Hayworth (1952).jpg The film noir crime drama Affair in Trinidad (1952) — directed by Vincent Sherman and photographed by Joseph B. Walker, ASC — stars Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford and was promoted as a re-teaming of the stars of the prior hit Gilda (1946). Considered a “comeback” effort following Hayworth’s difficult marriage to Prince Aly Khan, Trinidad was the star's first picture in four years and Columbia Pictures wanted one of their finest cinematographers to shoot it. Here, Walker (on right, wearing fedora) and his crew set a shot on Hayworth over Ford’s shoulder. Dick Tracy – W. Beatty (1990).jpg Directed by and starring Warren Beatty, Dick Tracy (1990) was a faithful ode to the timeless detective comic strip. To that end, Beatty and cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, ASC, AIC — seen here setting a shot during production — rendered the film almost entirely in reds, yellows and blues to replicate the look of the comic. Storaro earned an Oscar nomination for his efforts. The two filmmakers had previously collaborated on the period drama Reds and later on the political comedy Bullworth. Cries and Whispers - L. Ullman (1974).jpg Swedish cinematographer Sven Nykvist, ASC operates the camera while executing a dolly shot on actress Liv Ullman, capturing an iconic moment in Cries and Whispers (1974), directed by friend and frequent collaborator Ingmar Bergman. “Motion picture photography doesn't have to look absolutely realistic,” Nykvist told American Cinematographer. “It can be beautiful and realistic at the same time.

  • 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.

    the director’s cut THE DIRECTOR’S CUT Freud’s Doppelgaenger, The Cut, and Deleted Scenes Geoffrey Garrison Contents Introduction 9 Freud’s Doppelgaenger 13 The Cut 157 Deleted Scenes 189 Bibliographical Essay 239 Introduction When the John Huston fi lm Freud the Secret Passion was dubbed into German, nineteen minutes of the English version were left out of the fi lm. This omission occupied the place of desire that led the short video The Cut, realized in 2005 with the support of the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, the Netherlands. I had originally proposed to fi nd the material left out of the German version of the fi lm as the basis for a piece—what exactly that art work would be, I did not know at the time. Three years later, I am putting the fi nishing touches on this book as a way of driving the last nail into the coffi n of what has been a long and obsessive production, with many detours. Taking its title from the practice of releasing expanded versions of fi lms on DVD, The Director’s Cut supplements the nineteen minute fi lm The Cut—nineteen minutes to fi ll, in a roundabout way, the space left by the deleted footage—by supplying some needed background and following some abandoned routes. The fi rst and longest screenplay, Freud’s Doppelgaenger, tells of the fi lming of Freud the Secret Passion through the life of Montgomery Clift, 10 i n t r o d u c t i o n Introduction 11 the actor who portrayed Freud in Huston’s fi lm.

  • Everything Began with the Movie Moulin Rouge (2001)
    Introduction Everything began with the movie Moulin Rouge (2001). Since I was so obsessed with this hit film, I couldn’t but want to know more about this particular genre - musical films. Then I started to trace the history of this genre back to Hollywood’s classical musical films. It’s interesting that musical films have undergone several revivals and are usually regarded as the products of escapism. Watching those protagonists singing and dancing happily, the audience can daydream freely and forget about the cruel reality. What are the aesthetic artifices of this genre so enchanting that it always catches the eye of audience generation after generation? What kinds of ideal life do these musical films try to depict? Do they (musical films) merely escape from reality or, as a matter of fact, implicitly criticize the society? In regard to the musical films produced by Hollywood, what do they reflect the contemporary social, political or economic situations? To investigate these aspects, I start my research project on the Hollywood musical film genre from the 1950s (its Classical Period) to 2002. However, some people might wonder that among all those Hollywood movies, what is so special about the musical films that makes them distinguish from the other types of movies? On the one hand, the musical film genre indeed has several important contributions to the Hollywood industry, and its influence never wanes even until today. In need of specialty for musical film production, many talented professional dancers and singers thus get the chances to join in Hollywood and prove themselves as great actors (actresses), too.

Remembered as much for his scandals as his acting, there was another side to Errol: writer, war reporter and even devoted family man. THREE PARAGRAPH SYNOPSIS Tasmanian Devil: The Fast and Furious Life of Errol Flynn Fifty years after his death, people are still fascinated by Errol Flynn. The romantic star of dozens of Hollywood movies, Flynn’s real life was in fact far more adventurous than any of his films. In a life dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure, Flynn became notorious for his love affairs, scandals and rebellious nature. But there was another, much less well known side to his character. He was a fine writer, both of novels and journalism, wrote well reviewed novels and reported from wars and revolutions. Among his scoops was the first interview with the newly victorious Fidel Castro who Flynn tracked down in his mountain hideaway in Cuba. In Tasmanian Devil we discover the unknown Flynn, from his troubled childhood in Tasmania to his death, just fifty years later, in the arms of his teenage lover. We hear from his surviving children, friends and colleagues and discover an amazing life of almost unbelievable events.

  • Cervantes' Fictional Biographies1
    Aleksandra MANČIĆ [email protected] LIVES OF A POET AS A POPULAR HERO: The Institute for Literature CERVANTES’ FICTIONAL BIOGRAPHIES1 and Art, Belgrade Keywords: Miguel de Cervantes; Bruno Frank; Vincent Sherman; litera- ture and cinema; fictional representation; transmedial and intermedial re- presentation Abstract: This essay explores a fictionalisation of the life of Miguel de Cervantes, which underwent translations from historiography to literature to film. Its focus is on the figure of the author rather than on the adaptations of his literary opus, and it offers re-enactments of two closely intertwined processes: that of literary creation and that of the cultural construction of the image of the artist, in retrospect, as a historic figure and a cultural icon. This seems a particularly appropriate perspective in the case of Cervantes, who has been vindicated, reinvented, and re-introduced as a creator of an emblematic figure and a foundational myth of free thought: Don Quixote. The examples of Bruno Frank’s novelCervantes (1934) and its filmic adapta- tion in Vincent Sherman’s film Cervantes/Young Rebel (1967) are situated in particular political and social circumstances in which each one was made: the question of mediamorphosis from literary to cinematic expression is explored as a socially contextualised translation between arts. There was no interest shown in the life of Miguel de Cervantes for a whole century after his death, in spite of the fact that his Don Quix- ote had already enjoyed extraordinary success in Spain and abroad. It was 121 years after his death, in 1737, when Gregorio Mayáns y Siscar (1699–1781) published his Vida de Cervantes.
