Cycle proposé et conçu par Théo Esparon, historien et programmateur, doctorant à l’Université Paris-Nanterre. Loin d’être seulement l’immigré autrichien sévère que l’on a bien voulu décrire, Josef von Sternberg fit ses premiers pas dans les studios de Fort Lee où il travaille avec les réalisateurs Emile Chautard et Maurice Tourneur. Après quelques épisodiques voyages à Londres, Berlin et Vienne, il réalise son premier film « The Salvation Hunters » en 1925, Theun Ring film © British écrit Film comme Institute une fable qui plonge dans la boue du port de San Pedro. C’est Chaplin qui, le premier, applaudit son travail ; il l’invite à écrire un scénario pour Mary Pickford et produit son film suivant, le seul pour lequel il n’est ni acteur ni réalisateur, « A Woman of The Sea ». Le premier film est abandonné et le second sera finalement détruit. La carrière de Sternberg, émaillée de faux départs, éclaire une histoire méconnue du cinéma. Elle naît dans le berceau cosmopolite de New York, se poursuit vers l’Ouest, croise la création de la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer et le montage de la « Symphonie nuptiale » (« The Wedding March », 1928) d’Erich von Stroheim et s’assoit enfin à la Paramount avec l’immense succès des « Nuits de Chicago » (« Underworld », 1927).

  • 1 Hollywood Misfits. Marilyn Monroe E Ben Hecht Sarebbe Curioso Se
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Institutional Research Information System University of Turin 1 Hollywood Misfits. Marilyn Monroe e Ben Hecht Sarebbe curioso se risultasse che sono un’autrice. Anita Loos, Gli uomini preferiscono le bionde. Ben Hecht, uno degli sceneggiatori più importanti e prolifici della storia del cinema americano classico, tra le tante cose che ha fatto nella sua poliedrica carriera, è stato anche ghostwriter di Marilyn Monroe, per un progetto abortito di autobiografia, intitolata My Story, che avrebbe trovato un esito editoriale solo nel 1974, dopo che sia la diva sia lo scrittore erano ormai morti da tempo (Hecht scompare poco meno di due anni dopo Marilyn, nell’aprile del 1964). In questa sede, intendo, da un lato, ricostruire la complessa vicenda della redazione e della pubblicazione del libro, uno «highly problematic text», lo definisce giustamente Sarah Churchwell nel suo The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe1, basandomi sui documenti che ho esaminato alla Newberry Library di Chicago, dove sono conservati i “Ben Hecht Papers”2. Dall’altro lato, proverò a ragionare sul contenuto di My Story, inteso sia come opera di/su Marilyn Monroe, sia in quanto opera “di” Hecht. Per molti versi, My Story è il libro “onesto e feroce” su Hollywood che Hecht avrebbe potuto scrivere e che non scrisse mai, quanto meno non con il suo nome in copertina. Quando esce per la prima volta, su iniziativa di Milton Greene (fotografo e amico dell’attrice), My Story è a firma unicamente della Monroe. Solo con la riedizione del 2007, per i tipi di Taylor Trade, viene riconosciuto l’apporto dello sceneggiatore (questa volta, l’opera è attribuita a: «Marilyn Monroe with Ben Hecht»).

    Jazz im Film »Jazz ist für mich eine Geistes- oder Lebenshaltung und Schwarze Musiker erscheinen in den Spielfilmen nur nicht so sehr eine bestimmte Musikrichtung. Ebenso wie als Randfiguren, in Kurzfilmen, die hauptsächlich Songs eine Filmvorführung im Kinosaal kann der Jazz eine Form illustrieren, müssen sie in klischeehaften Spielszenen des Sich-Lösens und des Sich-Entfernens vom Alltäglichen agieren, die diese Songs miteinander verbinden.

  • Silent Film Music and the Theatre Organ Thomas J. Mathiesen
    Silent Film Music and the Theatre Organ Thomas J. Mathiesen Introduction Until the 1980s, the community of musical scholars in general regarded film music-and especially music for the silent films-as insignificant and uninteresting. Film music, it seemed, was utili­ tarian, commercial, trite, and manipulative. Moreover, because it was film music rather than film music, it could not claim the musical integrity required of artworks worthy of study. If film music in general was denigrated, the theatre organ was regarded in serious musical circles as a particular aberration, not only because of the type of music it was intended to play but also because it represented the exact opposite of the characteristics espoused by the Orgelbewegung of the twentieth century. To make matters worse, many of the grand old motion picture theatres were torn down in the fifties and sixties, their music libraries and theatre organs sold off piecemeal or destroyed. With a few obvious exceptions (such as the installation at Radio City Music Hall in New (c) 1991 Indiana Theory Review 82 Indiana Theory Review Vol. 11 York Cityl), it became increasingly difficult to hear a theatre organ in anything like its original acoustic setting. The theatre organ might have disappeared altogether under the depredations of time and changing taste had it not been for groups of amateurs that restored and maintained some of the instruments in theatres or purchased and installed them in other locations. The American Association of Theatre Organ Enthusiasts (now American Theatre Organ Society [ATOS]) was established on 8 February 1955,2 and by 1962, there were thirteen chapters spread across the country.
