Privacy Details. Edge of Doom. Edge of Doom is a 1950 film noir shot in black and white. The film was directed by Mark Robson. The screenplay was written by Philip Yordan (with uncredited writing from screenwriters Ben Hecht and Charles Brackett). The film is based on a novel by Leo Brady. Cinematography by Academy Award winner Harry Stradling Sr. The story concerns a young mentally disturbed man, Martin Lynn (Farley Granger), who goes on a rampage after his sick mother dies. One of the man's biggest beefs is with the Catholic Church who, in addition to slighting him when his mother needed a priest, once refused to bury his father years earlier because he committed suicide. The man, blaming the environment he lives in, goes on a rampage taking revenge on his cheap boss, a mortician and a priest, Father Kirkman (Harold Vermilyea), who refuses to give his poor mother a big funeral. He begins his rampage by killing the hard-line Catholic priest, who slighted him, by beating him with a heavy crucifix. Later, another young priest, Father Roth (Dana Andrews), suspects the young man, now arrested for another crime, for the killing. as Father Thomas Roth as Martin Lynn as Rita Conroy, Martin's girlfriend as Lieutenant Mandel as Craig as Julie as Irene, Craig's girlfriend as 1st Detective as 2nd Detective as Father Kirkman as Mrs. Pearson as Mrs. Jeanette Moore as George, a Priest narrated to.

A dark toned story of an act of violence which pursues- on the surface- the aftermath of a crime, but is more fundamentally concerned with the Catholic Church's redemption of a soul. Martin Lynn, whose father had been a jailbird, whose mother had been worn down by poverty, and who is himself resentful of the Catholic faith in which he had been reared, kills impulsively the priest to whom he had turned in regard to his mother's funeral. As Martin is victimized by fear, by self-pity, by hate, and by the desire to see his mother have a fine funeral which he cannot afford, the police continue their prosecution of the case and Father Roth, a younger priest, who suspects Martin, hopes to secure his confession before the police reach him. And at the close, it is a victory for the Church as Martin leaves his mother's bier to turn himself in. An unpleasant story, though a holding one, which will have strong publisher pressure and the endorsement of the Thomas More Book Club. Edge of Doom.

Bleak, often suffocating Christian noir nevertheless earns points for the relentless nihilism of its approach: Human institutions -- cops, employers, the funeral industrial complex, even the church -- will inevitably fail you, so you might as well turn to God. I couldn't even be bothered to come up with a good pun to start this review with. I suppose Edge Of Poo-m would have been nearest. But what a massive disappointment Mark Robson's noir turned out to be. A piss-poor morality tale loosely based on Crime And Punishment, it is almost an hour and a half of Farley Granger walking around telling everyone that he's going to give his mum a big funeral. Granger is given such a strange central character for the central role of a noir. Sure, there have been many unsympathetic villains in these types of films over the decades. but he's such an irredeemably snivelling, charmless, stupid and selfish pillock that you cannot possibly root for… Earliest(?) example of the miniscule subgenre of Catholic noir. Hitchcock's I Confess appeared a few years later, and maybe some Bresson films would qualify. Suppose First Reformed is the genre's modern incarnation? Though he's second-billed, Granger is the star, and he's fantastic, like a more cynical, broken version of the guy he played in They Live by Night . Andrews is asked to do far less, but he's also quite good. Evidently, the film got a bad response when it premiered, and Ben Hecht was brought in to write the opening and closing scenes and beef up Andrews' part. It's hard to imagine how bleak the film would be if it focused even more on Granger. Robson directed many of Val Lewton's stylized horror films, so it's a little surprising how well he manages to create the feel of dead-end urban life..

    “NEWS THAT STAYS NEWS”: TRANSFORMATIONS OF LITERATURE, GOSSIP, AND COMMUNITY IN MODERNITY Lindsay Rebecca Starck A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Gregory Flaxman Erin Carlston Eric Downing Andrew Perrin Pamela Cooper © 2016 Lindsay Rebecca Starck ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Lindsay Rebecca Starck: “News that stays news”: Transformations of Literature, Gossip, and Community in Modernity (Under the direction of Gregory Flaxman and Erin Carlston) Recent decades have demonstrated a renewed interest in gossip research from scholars in psychology, sociology, and anthropology who argue that gossip—despite its popular reputation as trivial, superficial “women’s talk”—actually serves crucial social and political functions such as establishing codes of conduct and managing reputations. My dissertation draws from and builds upon this contemporary interdisciplinary scholarship by demonstrating how the modernists incorporated and transformed the popular gossip of mass culture into literature, imbuing it with a new power and purpose. The foundational assumption of my dissertation is that as the nature of community changed at the turn of the twentieth century, so too did gossip. Although usually considered to be a socially conservative force that serves to keep social outliers in line, I argue that modernist writers transformed gossip into a potent, revolutionary tool with which modern individuals could advance and promote the progressive ideologies of social, political, and artistic movements. Ultimately, the gossip of key American expatriates (Henry James, Djuna Barnes, Janet Flanner, and Ezra Pound) became a mode of exchanging and redefining creative and critical values for the artists and critics who would follow them.

    Probablemente El Diablo: El Terror Elíptico De La Séptima Víctima

    PROBABLEMENTE EL DIABLO: EL TERROR ELÍPTICO DE LA SÉPTIMA VÍCTIMA Francisco García Gómez Universidad de Málaga RESUMEN La séptima víctima, la primera película dirigida por Mark Robson, constituye un magnífico ejemplo de la concepción del terror que tenía el productor Val Lewton. Su cuarto filme para la RKO, el primero no dirigido por Jacques Tourneur, pone de manifiesto que Lewton era el auténtico responsable de su ciclo fantástico. PALABRAS CLAVE: RKO, Val Lewton, Mark Robson, serie B, terror, satanismo, paladismo. ABSTRACT «Probably the Devil: The Elliptical Terror in The Seventh Victim». The Seventh Victim, first film directed by Mark Robson, is a magnificent example of the producer Val Lewton’s terror concept. His fourth RKO film, the first without Jacques Tourneur, reveals that Lewton was the genuine responsible of his fantastic cycle. KEY WORDS : RKO, Val Lewton, Mark Robson, B Film, terror, satanism, paladism. 163 Una película a redescubrir y reivindicar, ése es el caso de La séptima víctima (The Seventh Victim, 1943), la cuarta del ciclo de nueve cintas de terror de serie B producidas por Val Lewton en la RKO entre 1942 y 19461. Dirigida por Mark Robson en su debut como realizador, fue además la primera cuya dirección no corrió a cargo de Jacques Tourneur, tras La mujer pantera (Cat People, 1942), Yo anduve con un zombi (I Walked with a Zombie, 1943) y El hombre leopardo (The Leopard Man, 1943). Precisamente a consecuencia de los grandes éxitos de público obtenidos con estas tres, el estudio decidió separar al tándem Lewton-Tourneur, convencido de que rendirían el doble por separado, poniendo en seguida al francés al frente de mayores presupuestos.

American Studies, University of Massachusetts Boston A Jewish-created urban and cosmopolitan working girl feminism persisted in the 1950s as a cultural alternative to the suburban, domestic consumerism critiqued so eloquently by Betty Friedan in The Feminine Mystique . The film persona of Jewish, Academy Award-winning actress Judy Holliday embodied this working girl feminism. Audiences viewed her portrayals of popular front working girl heroines in three films written by the Jewish writer and director Garson Kanin, sometimes in association with his wife, the actress Ruth Gordon, and directed by the Jewish director George Cukor in the early 1950s: Born Yesterday (1950), The Marrying Kind (1952), and It Should Happen to You (1954).

    O Elo Perdido Da Fotografia

    “CONSCIÊNCIA DAS CORES”: NATALIE KALMUS E O TECHNICOLOR NA GRÃ-BRETANHA Sarah Street Quando o Technicolor foi visto pela primeira vez nos cinemas da Grã-Bretanha, ele foi recebido por uma onda de opiniões contraditórias, desde a queixa perplexa de que “com a tela em um ardente motim de cores é impossível se concentrar totalmente em qualquer indivíduo em particular” até a alegação de que “filmes em preto e branco em breve serão uma coisa do passado.”1 Os modos do discurso contemporâneo a respeito da cor frequentemente abordavam o impacto das cores no público que, temia-se, poderia ser distraído por sua aparência espetacular no contexto do cinema narrativo. Para muitos diretores, diretores de fotografia e diretores de arte, contudo, a escolha da cor demonstrava o seu fascínio como registro simbólico, como uma ferramenta para apoiar a narrativa e como técnica expressiva. Este ensaio discute a chegada do Technicolor na Grã-Bretanha e o impacto que teve sobre as práticas vigentes, bem como sobre os regimes estéticos. Filmes que demonstram notáveis, variados e por vezes extraordinários usos do Technicolor – Idílio cigano (Wings of the Morning, Harold D. Schuster, 1937), O ladrão de Bagdá (The Thief of Bagdad, Ludwig Berger et al., 1940) e Narciso negro (Black Narcissus, Michael Powell e Emeric Pressburger, 1947) – servirão como estudos de caso para demonstrar como concentrar-se na cor convida a uma combinação de perspectivas analíticas e teóricas que revelam os complexos desafios colocados por ela para os estudos de cinema. Apesar de a cor ter recebido certa atenção nos comentários contemporâneos, nas histórias da tecnologia do cinema, na teoria do cinema e na crítica, isso de maneira alguma formou um corpus extenso; este ensaio tem a intenção de contribuir para o renovado interesse na cor ao 1 SIMPSON, Shirley R.
