Talking of calendars – we have just a few left, so please do get your orders in quick as ‘Every Home Should Have One’ and they really do help us, plus they make the perfect gift for film buffs! This month we bring you a very special limited edition DVD release of SCROOGE (1951), with the wonderful Alastair Sim CBE, (in our opinion the best Scrooge on film), with optional subtitles for the very first time! It’s a 2-DVD special edition for Dickens’ 150th anniversary. Included on the discs are the original 1951 theatrical trailer and Scrooge (1935) with Seymour Hicks. It’s limited stock with a special price of just £15 with free UK postage (more details over the page). Keeping the Scrooge theme in mind, I’ve made some delightful exclusive baubles, see page 8, perfect for those ‘Bah Humbugs’ (I’m sure we all know one!)… By popular request, I’ve also made some cufflinks this month, see pages 26-27 for the designs. We have a host of special offers to help you with gifting this year, so I do hope you find something of interest. Look out for the BFI 2-DVD box set Stop! Look! Listen! on page 14, featuring nostalgic films on road safety. One features current affairs presenter Frank Bough, who sadly died this October. We also have a piece on dear Margaret Nolan who also recently passed away, largely overlooked by the press. Sir Sean Connery, with whom she co-starred, will be mourned by generations of film fans. November and December on Talking Pictures TV are filled with premieres, some special mentions on pages 32-33 including: The Scarlet Pimpernel with Leslie Howard and Merle Oberon, Checkpoint starring Stanley Baker, A Window in London with Michael Redgrave, the wartime film This England; The Spider and the Fly with Eric Portman and Flame in the Streets with John Mills, Sylvia Syms, Earl Cameron and Johnny Sekka, plus three films from the ‘Doctor in…’ series. You will know that Christopher Beeny was a dear friend of ours and he would have been over the moon to see that Upstairs, Downstairs is coming to TPTV very soon. More details in the following pages. The Cinema Museum in London is desperately in need of funds to become COVID safe, please support them if you can, www.cinemamuseum.org.uk. We use the venue for many of our filmed interviews and it is very close to our hearts. Once a workhouse where Charlie Chaplin lived as a child, it now houses a unique collection of cinema artefacts and memorabilia. Hope you are all staying well in these troubled times, do keep spreading the word about Talking Pictures TV and Renown. It’s so important to keep these names alive, for future generations. Our young Archie loves Laurel & Hardy, Norman Wisdom and George Formby – it’s a joy to hear him laughing at them! We receive many letters from grandparents who enjoy watching films on TPTV with younger family members. I had a super chat on the phone with a viewer in their 20s who has become a fan of Peggy Mount and joins in the ‘Sam Kydd spotting game’. Equally, I had a charming conversation with a 94 year old gentleman who recently found Talking Pictures TV and stated we have ‘changed his life’. Makes it all so worthwhile. Until next month we shall keep those projectors going!

  • The Black Tent
    The Black Tent (1956) and Bengazi (1955): The Image of Arabs in Two Post-Empire Journeys into the Deserts of Libya Richard Andrew Voeltz [email protected] Cameron University Volume 7.1 (2018) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2018.200 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract These two little known films are both part of the cycle of post-imperial films dealing with the decline of the British Empire. They are perhaps the only films set in or near the historical period of the British Military Administration of Libya after 1945. The Black Tent frequently gets lumped in with the genre of World War II British war films. Bengazi marks the cinematic journey of the actor Victor McLaglen from The Lost Patrol (1934) to Bengazi (1955), his career encapsulating the beginning and end of the Hollywood British Empire film genre. Both films contain redemptive dramatic journeys into the deserts of Libya involving the loss of British imperial male power. The case studies of The Black Tent and Bengazi show the beginnings of new post-empire film genres and new mentalities toward the Arab “Other” that partially promotes a decolonization of western cinema.

The Black Tent (1956) and Bengazi (1955): The Image of Arabs in Two Post-Empire Journeys into the Deserts of Libya Richard Andrew Voeltz The Black Tent (1956, British) and Bengazi (1955, American) are perhaps the only feature films set in the last days of the British Military Administration of Libya from 1945 to 1951.

  • EARL CAMERON Sapphire
    EARL CAMERON Sapphire Reuniting Cameron with director Basil Dearden after Pool of London, and hastened into production following the Notting Hill riots of summer 1958, Sapphire continued Dearden and producer Michael Relph’s valuable run of ‘social problem’ pictures, this time using a murder-mystery plot as a vehicle to sharply probe contemporary attitudes to race. Cameron’s role here is relatively small, but, playing the brother of the biracial murder victim of the title, the actor makes his mark in a couple of memorable scenes. Like Dearden’s later Victim (1961), Sapphire was scripted by the undervalued Janet Green. Alex Ramon, bfi.org.uk Sapphire is a graphic portrayal of ethnic tensions in 1950s London, much more widespread and malign than was represented in Dearden’s Pool of London (1951), eight years earlier. The film presents a multifaceted and frequently surprising portrait that involves not just ‘the usual suspects’, but is able to reveal underlying insecurities and fears of ordinary people. Sapphire is also notable for showing a successful, middle-class black community – unusual even in today’s British films. Dearden deftly manipulates tension with the drip-drip of revelations about the murdered girl’s life. Sapphire is at first assumed to be white, so the appearance of her black brother Dr Robbins (Earl Cameron) is genuinely astonishing, provoking involuntary reactions from those he meets, and ultimately exposing the real killer. Small incidents of civility and kindness, such as that by a small child on a scooter to Dr Robbins, add light to a very dark film. Earl Cameron reprises a role for which he was famous, of the decent and dignified black man, well aware of the burden of his colour.

  • The Nation's Matron: Hattie Jacques and British Post-War Popular Culture
    The Nation’s Matron: Hattie Jacques and British post-war popular culture Estella Tincknell Abstract: Hattie Jacques was a key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, condensing a range of contradictions around power, desire, femininity and class through her performances as a comedienne, primarily in the Carry On series of films between 1958 and 1973. Her recurrent casting as ‘Matron’ in five of the hospital-set films in the series has fixed Jacques within the British popular imagination as an archetypal figure. The contested discourses around nursing and the centrality of the NHS to British post-war politics, culture and identity, are explored here in relation to Jacques’s complex star meanings as a ‘fat woman’, ‘spinster’ and authority figure within British popular comedy broadly and the Carry On films specifically. The article argues that Jacques’s star meanings have contributed to nostalgia for a supposedly more equitable society symbolised by socialised medicine and the feminine authority of the matron. Keywords: Hattie Jacques; Matron; Carry On films; ITMA; Hancock’s Half Hour; Sykes; star persona; post-war British cinema; British popular culture; transgression; carnivalesque; comedy; femininity; nursing; class; spinster. 1 Hattie Jacques (1922 – 1980) was a gifted comedienne and actor who is now largely remembered for her roles as an overweight, strict and often lovelorn ‘battle-axe’ in the British Carry On series of low- budget comedy films between 1958 and 1973. A key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, Hattie Jacques’s star meanings are condensed around the contradictions she articulated between power, desire, femininity and class.
