  • From Real Time to Reel Time: the Films of John Schlesinger
    From Real Time to Reel Time: The Films of John Schlesinger A study of the change from objective realism to subjective reality in British cinema in the 1960s By Desmond Michael Fleming Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Declaration This is to certify that: (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is fewer than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. Abstract The 1960s was a period of change for the British cinema, as it was for so much else. The six feature films directed by John Schlesinger in that decade stand as an exemplar of what those changes were. They also demonstrate a fundamental change in the narrative form used by mainstream cinema. Through a close analysis of these films, A Kind of Loving, Billy Liar, Darling, Far From the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy and Sunday Bloody Sunday, this thesis examines the changes as they took hold in mainstream cinema. In effect, the thesis establishes that the principal mode of narrative moved from one based on objective realism in the tradition of the documentary movement to one which took a subjective mode of narrative wherein the image on the screen, and the sounds attached, were not necessarily a record of the external world. The world of memory, the subjective world of the mind, became an integral part of the narrative.

To prepare for such a venture, we will address various issues at work in the field of film adaptation from writers such as André Bazin, Linda Hutcheon and Thomas Leitch, in addition to some practical dimensions from Linda Segar’s manual. We will also consider the cinema’s own natural predisposition towards adaptation, debate the value of remaining faithful to the original literary text versus betraying it, updating it, or exploiting its power to spur the imagination in unexpected ways, and ultimately as practitioners to experiment with the process by which “the spirit” of a literary work can be adapted and perhaps rendered complete by cinematic embodiment.

A long-time worker within the British Megs Jenkins Mrs Grose, the Housekeeper film industry, he had worked with the great director Michael Redgrave The Uncle Alexander Korda from a young age. He joined the RAF Martin Stephens Miles during World war 2 and returned to work with Korda as Pamela Franklin Flora associate producer on many of his films. An Oscar for Clytie Jessop Miss Jessel Best Short Film – ‘The Bespoke Suit’ – in 1956 gave Isla Cameron Anna the Maid him the opportunity to direct larger production such as Eric Woodburn The Coachman (uncredited) ‘Room At The Top’ and ‘The Innocents’. Intermittent work followed including the high-profile adaptation of F. Scott Crew Fitzgerald’s ‘The Great Gatsby’ (1974) which featured Director Jack Clayton Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. The disappointing Screenplay William Archibald and reception which ‘…Gatsby’ received meant that Clayton Truman Capote didn’t follow up with another film until another literary John Mortimer (additional adaptation, this time Ray Bradbury’s ‘Something Wicked scenes and dialogue) This Way Comes’ (1983). Again poorly received, the film adapted from Henry James was a sensitive look at father and son relations within a novel ‘The Turn of the Screw’ fantastical setting.
