  • Title: Get the London Look: Anna Neagle As the Emblem of British Fashion and Femininity in Maytime in Mayfair (1949). Between 19
    Title: Get the London Look: Anna Neagle as the Emblem of British Fashion and Femininity in Maytime in Mayfair (1949). Between 1947 and 1952, the top British female star at the domestic box office was Anna Neagle. She had displaced Margaret Lockwood, who had achieved the top position during the war years with her turns as dangerous and subversive women in Gainsborough pictures such as The Man in Grey (Arliss, 1943) and, most famously, The Wicked Lady (Arliss, 1945). In both films Lockwood co-starred with James Mason, the brooding, somewhat sadistic idol to a legion of female fans. Mason, mirroring Lockwood’s popularity, was the top male star of 1945 and his appeal was a ‘combination of romantic allure and Sadean fascination’ (Evans 2001: 108) – an appeal that meshed with Lockwood’s ‘unity of transgression and sexual appetite’ (Babington 2001: 94). Aimed at a largely female audience, the Gainsborough melodramas provided escapism and the danger and sexual allure of the characters and stars resulted in a skewing of ‘moral logic’ (Leach 2004: 67), which Jeffrey Richards reads as revelatory of the wartime dislocation of moral values (Richards 1985: 292). With the end of the war, however, there came a reclamation of traditional values, not least in British cinema. In the years immediately following the war, there was a distinct pattern in British films that foregrounded ‘the British people’ as hero, a pattern following the wartime work of Humphrey Jennings in providing images of a united Britain; and the idea image of a Briton was a figure of restraint, good-humour and self-deprecation.

  • DISAMBIGUATION by Ian Sales Ganymede Ganymede May Refer To
    DISAMBIGUATION by Ian Sales Ganymede Ganymede may refer to: • Ganymede: a Trojan prince in Greek mythology • Ganymede: Jupiter’s largest moon, named for the mythological character • Ganymede: the name used by Rosalind when she is disguised as a man in Shakespeare’s As You Like It • Ganymede: the eighth of the Short S.26 ‘G’ Class Empire flying boats flown by Imperial Airways, which disappeared in 1940 while en route to Australia § Ganymede (flying boat) Ganymede (G-AFCP) was the name given to the fifth Short S.26 ‘G’ Class Empire flying boat to enter service with Imperial Airways. It first flew in October 1939 on Imperial Airway’s route to Australia. During its fifth such trip, it disappeared somewhere between Koepang and Darwin over the Timor Sea. Among the thirty-eight passengers onboard was popular British actress Anna Irwin. Various attempts to discover the resting-place of the Ganymede, the most notable by Amelia Earhart in 1947, have all proven fruitless. § Short S.26 The Short S.26 ‘G’ Class was a large transport flying boat with non-stop transatlantic capability intended for commercial service. Ten aircraft were ordered by Imperial Airways. The S.26 was designed as an enlarged Short ‘C’ Class Empire flying boat. Powered by four 1,400 hp (1,044 kW) Bristol Hercules sleeve valve radial engines, the Short S.26s (or “Golden Boats”) were designed with the capability of crossing the Atlantic without refuelling, although initially they flew Imperial Airways’ South Africa and Australia routes alongside the ‘C’ Class flying boats. Each aircraft had a name beginning with ‘G’: Golden Hind, Golden Fleece, Golden Horn, Golden Eagle, Ganymede, Galatea, Galahad, Geronimo, Gideon, and Gloriana.
