Tras una serie de pequeñas apariciones, el estudio decidió lanzarla en 1928 como la quin- taesencia de la modernidad, interpretando a la flapper propia de los años 20. El hundimiento de la bolsa de Wall Street en 1929 sumió al país en el desempleo, la pobreza y el hambre, y tanto MGM como la estrella comprendieron que se había acabado la etapa de la «virgen moderna». Debía crearse para ella otro tipo de personalidad, acorde con los nuevos tiempos de la Depresión: la working girl (chica trabajadora), personaje inspirado en su biografía personal y orígenes sociales humildes.

  • 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.

RESTITUTION'S OUTLAWS ANDREW KULL* INTRODUCTION Restitution, meaning the law of unjust enrichment, is not sup- posed to be punitive in purpose or effect., The first Restatement of Restitution treats this proposition as axiomatic: Actions for restitution have for their primary purpose taking from the defendant and restoring to the plaintiff something to which the plaintiff is entitled, or if this is not done, causing the de- fendant to pay the plaintiff an amount which will restore the plain- tiff to the position in which he was before the defendant received the benefit. If the value of what was received and what was lost were always equal, there would be no substantial problem as to the amount of recovery, since actions of restitution are not punitive.2 As an observation this is much more true than false, and in the contexts where it is typically repeated it conveys a useful reminder.
