    Home Search Every Field Editorial Search Authors' OLIVER! A DICKENSIAN MUSICAL Responses By Marc Napolitano (Oxford University Press), xiv + 288 pp. Guidelines Reviewed by Jeremy Tambling on 2015-08-24. For Click here for a PDF version. Reviewers Click here to buy the book on Amazon. About Us Masthead Lionel Bart's Oliver! opened at the New Theatre in London's West End, mid 1960; since then, with revivals, and the 1968 film directed by Carol Reed, and with innumerable school and other amateur productions, it may have been the most Feedback famous musical since the second World War. That in itself justifies a monograph, especially since Oliver! was English, not American, and the "musical" is considered an American form: a point central to this study by Professor Napolitano, an academic at West Point. We can agree that Guys and Dolls, West Side Story, Kiss Me Kate, and more complexly, Showboat, exemplify the form at its best, where linguistic skill in deftly handled words and rhymes are as central as the tune, and the tune must carry complex verbal rhythms that find their correlative in dance. In Oklahoma!, My Fair Lady, and A Little Night Music, which Napolitano calls "integrated musicals" (26), or "book musicals," the music comes from the words and the situation. The best English example prior to Oliver! was Salad Days (1954) by Julian Slade and Dorothy Reynolds, though here the tunefulness of the score is musically more developed than either lyrics or libretto. By contrast with the "integrated musical," the "mega-musical" has been defined as "a suspension of the book in favour of music" (Scott McMillin, The Musical as Drama [2006], qtd.

    screenwritersmonthly.com | Screenwriter’s Monthly Give ‘em some credit! Johnny Depp's performance as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is amazing. As film critic after film critic stumbled over Screenwriter’s Monthly can be found themselves to call his performance everything from "original" to at the following fine locations: "eccentric," they forgot one thing: the screenwriters, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, who did one heck of a job creating Sparrow on paper first. Sure, some critics mentioned the writers when they declared the film "cliché" and attacked it. Since the previous Walt Disney Los Angeles film based on one of its theme park attractions was the unbear- able The Country Bears, Pirates of the Caribbean is surprisingly Above The Fold 370 N. Fairfax Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90036 entertaining. But let’s face it. This wasn't intended to be serious (323) 935-8525 filmmaking. Not much is anymore in Hollywood. Recently the USA Today ran an article asking, basically, “What’s wrong with Hollywood?” Blockbusters are failing because Above The Fold 1257 3rd St. Promenade Santa Monica, CA attendance is down 3.3% from last year. It’s anyone’s guess why 90401 (310) 393-2690 this is happening, and frankly, it doesn’t matter, because next year the industry will be back in full force with the same schlep of Above The Fold 226 N.

But maybe if we turn our backs to Hollywood’s fast food service, they will serve us something different.

  • The Man Who Invented Christmas Film Adaptations of Dickens’ a Christmas Carol Dr Christine Corton
    10TH DECEMBER 2019 The Man Who Invented Christmas Film Adaptations of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol Dr Christine Corton A Christmas Carol is now over 175 years old. Written in 1843, it is certainly the most televised of Dickens’s works and equals if not beats, its closest rival, Oliver Twist (1837-39) for cinema releases. It’s had a huge influence on the way we understand the Christmas festival. It was written at a time when the festival was being revived after centuries of neglect. And its impact was almost immediate. A Christmas Carol quickly achieved iconic status, far more so than any of Dickens’s other Christmas stories. You have to have been living on some far-off planet not to have heard of the story – the word ‘Scrooge’ has come to represent miserliness and ‘Bah, Humbug’ is a phrase often resorted to when indicating someone is a curmudgeon. Even, Field Marshall Montgomery concluded his Christmas Eve message to the Eighth Army on the battlefield with Tiny Tim’s blessing. In 1836 Dickens described Christmas at Dingley Dell in The Pickwick Papers in which of course one of the most famous of the interpolated tales appears, The Story of the Goblins who Stole a Sexton and for those who know the tale, the miserable and mean Gabriel Grub is not a million miles away from Scrooge. Both Mr Pickwick’s Christmas at Wardle’s (1901) and Gabriel Grub: The Surly Sexton (1904) were used as the basis for silent films at around the same time as the first silent version of the 11 minute long: Scrooge: Or Marley’s Ghost which was released in 1901.
