Hollywood discovered Charles Korvin was red hot-and turned the dampers down! And Hollywood acted real smart! A tidal wave of fan mail avalanched the Universal lot after the handsome he-man Korvin made his initial bow as the suave jewel thief in "Enter Ar ene Lupin'" last year.

He is a prodigious reader and a linguist, peaking in addition to his native tongues, French, German, Spanish and English. The "love that man" response to Mr. Korvin from thousands of female fans all over this country is indeed understandable. He's quite a fella! He's big- and strikingly handsome.

This article is going to study the adaptation of Thousand and One Nights in the movie Ali Baba and Forty Thieves directed by Arthur Lubin in 1944 through the lens of adaptation theory. The movie departs heavily from the text of Thousand and one Nights to the point that it is a whole different story and owes a great deal to the imagination of Universal Pictures.

  • 7 the Making of Our America: Hollywood in a Turkish Context
    7 The Making of Our America: Hollywood in a Turkish Context Nezih Erdogan This chapter examines the ways in which American cinema was represented in Turkey in the 1940s and the evidence for the existence of a growing connection between American cinema and the popular Turkish imagination during this period. It is based on an analysis of the popular film magazines of the time, as well as the memoirs and observations of writers interested in cinema. Issues of audience demand, of course, pose questions about the cultural identities involved in the experiences of identification and fantasy enjoyed by the film viewer. After describing the historical context in which American cinematic hegemony was established, the chapter will consider some of the ways in which Hollywood itself functioned as a kind of fantasy screen for the Turkish viewer. It will also touch upon European cinema since – as becomes particularly clear in the memoirs of film historian Giovanni Scognamillo – the tension between America and Europe, and thus between Hollywood and European cinema, is crucial to the men- tal machinery at work in the viewers’ cinematic experience in its broadest sense. These changes paralleled a number of political and sociocultural changes in Turkish society. In the two centuries leading up to World War II, the ongoing attempts at west- ernising Turkey were modelled on European patterns and precedents. By the mid- 1940s, however, Europe was in ruins. At least for the time being, it could not any longer act as the object of fascinated desire it had previously been. The United States inherited this mantle.

    Vom Glück verfolgt. Wien - Hollywood – Retour Portrait des Hollywoodschauspielers Turhan Bey Buch und Regie: Andrea Eckert, A, 2002, 41 Minuten Produktion: MMKmedia Premiere: 23.10.2002 - Viennale 02 (Stadtkino Wien) Erstausstrahlung: 03.11.2002 – ORF In einer Villa in der Paradiesgasse, im 19. Wiener Gemeindebezirk, wohnt der ehemalige Hollywoodschauspieler und Gefährte einiger der schönsten Frauen des amerikanischen Films der 40er Jahre, Turhan Bey. Turhan Bey wurde am 30.3.1922 in Wien geboren. Sein Vater war türkischer Diplomat, die Mutter Jüdin aus der damaligen Tschechoslowakei. Er wuchs in einem begüterten Milieu auf, was sich auch nach der Scheidung der Eltern nicht änderte. Das sorgenfreie Leben in dem großen Hietzinger Haus in der Kuppelwiesergasse fand mit dem Einmarsch der Nazis ein jähes Ende. Turhan Beys Mutter sah die jubelnden Menschen am Heldenplatz und wusste, dass sie dieses Land verlassen mussten. Sie emigrierten über die Schweiz und Paris in die USA. Ein Onkel arbeitet als Mathematiker für Albert Einstein und bei ihm in Princeton läßt sich die Familie vorübergehend nieder. Man ist bei Einstein öfter zum Tee geladen- der Onkel plant für seinen Neffen eine mathematische Karriere. Der wiederum verspürt dazu nicht die geringste Lust; er lockt seine Mutter mit der Aussicht auf ein mildes Klima ins sonnige Kalifornien. In Beverly Hills wird ein Haus gemietet und Turhan Bey besucht die Drama-School von Ben Bard, um sein Englisch zu vervollkommnen. Bei einer Schüleraufführung wird er von Talentsuchern der Warner Brothers entdeckt und sofort engagiert. Der Film heißt "Footsteps in the dark", sein Partner Errol Flynn: Turhan Beys Filmkarriere hat begonnen. So leicht ihm der Einstieg in dieses schwierige Geschäft gemacht wurde, so selbstverständlich ging seine Karriere weiter.

  • Adapting Shahrazad's Odyssey: the Female Wanderer and Storyteller In
    Adapting Shahrazad’s Odyssey: The Female Wanderer and Storyteller in Victorian and Contemporary Middle Eastern Literature Eda Dedebas Dundar, PhD University of Connecticut, 2013 This project traces connections between the concepts of travel and rewriting in women’s fiction in nineteenth-century Victorian literature and in Anglophone Middle Eastern writing. This study is the first to discover a strong link between travelling texts and the travelling women in fiction and to analyze the ways in which the travelling woman is molded by her previous exposure to stories. In this comparative project, I argue that travel can be understood as a metaphor for rewriting and the female wanderer as the reworked adaptation of Odysseus and Shahrazad figures and that the concept of adaptation can be read as a metatextual travel between past and present, Victorian and contemporary, nostalgia and progress. Moreover, I explore the ways in which rewriting empowers women writers who are traditionally considered outside of both the male canon and the travel experience in general. The first part focuses on two Victorian women writers, Olive Schreiner and Christina G. Rossetti, and their feminist responses to the Victorian admiration for ancient Greek culture. The figure of the fictional voyager within the Victorian tradition of masculine, colonial adventure stories merges with the protagonist of the female novel of development in The Story of an African Farm (1883) and Speaking Likenesses (1874). As Schreiner’s novel re-visions the Victorian female Bildungsroman, Rossetti’s narrative stands out as a multi-faceted text by poking fun at traveling women, female development, and the Homeric tradition imitated in the nineteenth century.

    Jahrbuch für Internationale Germanistik pen Jahrgang LII – Heft 2 | Peter Lang, Bern | S. 211–236 „Seit Pearl Harbor bin ich nirgends mehr zu Hause“ Die europäischen Filmexilanten und der Krieg im Pazifik (1941–1945) Von Helmut G. Asper, Bielefeld Der Überfall der Japaner auf Pearl Harbor und die darauf folgende Kriegs- erklärung der USA an Japan, Deutschland und Italien waren für die deutsch- sprachigen Exilanten besonders an der Westküste der USA ein tiefer Einschnitt und haben ihr Leben nachhaltig verändert. Wie sehr der emotionale Schock dieses Ereignisses die Emigranten damals getroffen hat, zeigt der Ausruf Vicki © 2020 Baums „Seit Pearl Harbor bin ich nirgends mehr zu Hause.“ in ihren Erinne- rungen,1 die sie erst viel später, kurz vor ihrem Tod 1960 niedergeschrieben hat. Mit dem Kriegseintritt der USA veränderten sich in Hollywood auch fast über Nacht die beruflichen Chancen der exilierten Filmschaffenden, denn jetzt hatten die europäischen Filmemigranten Konjunktur als Autoren, Regisseure und Berater vor allem in den zahlreichen Anti-Nazi-Filmen, in denen die Schau- spieler und Schauspielerinnen meist Nazis spielen mussten, und manchmal auch Widerstandskämpfer darstellen durften. Aber nicht nur das europäische Kriegstheater, auch der Überfall auf Pearl Harbor und der pazifische Kriegs- schauplatz haben Spuren in ihrem Leben und in ihrer Filmarbeit hinterlassen, sogar noch bis in die 1950er Jahre. 1.
