Included in the study is a comprehensive review of literature that both names and evaluates sources published on the subject matter. The thesis describes the social and economic factors that governed the evolu­ tion of the film form and provides a separate chronology of film titles, dates, and associated information. The summarized data presents the trends that emerged during the 25-year period. Charts are utilized to illustrate the trends. The study acknowledges the influence of non­ filmic factors upon the art form. A filmography is included in an appendix. viii Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION The primary purpose of this thesis is to offer a com- prehensive listing of musical films from 1955 through 1979 as well as to provide information on the growth and development of the genre during that period. To date there is no published source on the genre that is inclu- sive of all film musicals produced during that period. (This point is evidenced in Chapter 2, "Review of the Literature.") The primary factors that have contributed to the lack of such a source are the end of the Golden 1 Age of Musicals in 1955, the introduction of rock music to film in 1955, 2 and the absence of an objective method- ology and standard criteria for films selected for inclu- 3 sion into the genre. The years 1927-1955 constituted the Golden Age of Musicals in America. During this 28-year period the film musical was born and, according to most historians of the 4 genre, reached its peak. Because of the importance attributed to this period, film musicals produced prior to . 5 1956 are adequately chronicled. The introduction of rock music to film in 1955 in Blackboard Jungle spawned a new genre of film most 1 2 commonly known as the "teen" or "cult" film.6 The follow- ing year musical films began to utilize rock music scores 7 in addition to scores by traditional film composers. However, nearly all of the film musicals that utilized rock music were excluded from the genre (by both critics 8 and historians) for nearly 20 years. By the mid-Seventies rock musical films were more prevalent than musical films utilizing traditional composers and by this time they were 9 accepted as legitimate contributions to the genre. Nevertheless, the rock musicals produced in the 20 preced- ing years were still termed teen or cult films and have 10 yet to be included into the genre. The absence of an objective method of selection or standard criteria for musical films is one reason for the lack of a comprehensive source on the subject. Examples of criteria for selection for inclusion in sources on film 11 12 musicals include merit, designation as a classic, and 13 widely held judgment. This thesis establishes more objective criteria for inclusion. In fulfilling its objective to provide a comprehen- sive listing of the musical film from 1955 through 1979 this thesis will (1) provide a complete record of the genre past its Golden Age, (2) include the previously ostracized rock musical film (and by its inclusion legitimize it), and (3) provide a methodology and standard criteria for locating all films within the genre of the 3 musical film. SIGNIFICANCE The film musical is now experiencing a resurgence, although barely five years ago it was eulogized as a dying 14 art form. Its resurrected popularity is attributed to the genre's increased accessibility through the utiliza­ 15 tion of rock music. And, while the use of rock music in film is not a new concept, few "rock music musicals" have been classified as true representations of the film musi­ cal form. Therefore the current style of the majority of film musicals recently produced or in production, appear to be a new phenomenon rather than a style grounded in the history of the genre. The significance of this work is twofold. First, in its objective and comprehensive form it will offer a standard criteria and methodology for the study of the genre. Second, by providing a comprehensive analysis of the film musical genre, it will clarify the role of the previously ignored rock music musical in the development of the genre. Because of the number of films that were excluded from the genre as a result of their utilization of rock music, this thesis will generate implications into the fields or variables that were responsible for the exclu­ sion of that specific style into the genre over the past 25 years. It will also shed light on those variables that later led _to the acceptance of the rock music musical as a true representative of the musical genre. This means that, in addition to the significance pro- \ vided to the art form itself, relevant implications will be drawn in the fields of film and record industry finance and promotion as well as the two industries' increasing interdependence. Peripheral implications into socio- cultural values as they are reflected in the selection of popular art forms will also be discussed. k~d, ultimately, new light will be shed upon film history and popular cul- ture in general. KEY POINTS Given the information provided through the review of the literature, this study considers the following to be causal factors in the development of the musical genre: 1. The end of the Golden Age of Musicals in 1955. 2. Socio-cultural biases against the rock music musical throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. 3. The absence of objective criteria and method­ ology in the chronicling of the musical film genre. 4. The broadening demographics of the rock music listening audience to coincide with the film viewing audience in the early 1970s. 5. The extended role of the record companies into film production in the early 1970s. 5 6. The extended role of the film studios into music publishing in the early 1970s. 7. The technique of cross-promotion utilized by both the film and music industries on mutual products in the mid-1970s. These key aspects result in the following hypothesis that stands as the focus of this thesis: Given an objective method of selection and stan­ dardized criteria, a comprehensive chronicle of the musical film genre can be written to include the rock musical as a legitimate element of the genre. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The study of film history tends to be a subjective endeavor as evidenced by the major filmographies citing significance--a relative concept--as their primary cri- teria for selection for inclusion of films in historical 16 works.

    DOC NYC ANNOUNCES FINAL TITLES INCLUDING WORLD PREMIERE OF BRUCE SPRINGSTREEN & THE E STREET BAND’S “DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN” CONCERT FILM AT ZIEGFELD THEATER ON NOVEMBER 4TH AND “MOMENTS OF TRUTH” FEATURING ALEC BALDWIN AND OTHER FAMOUS FIGURES DISCUSSING THEIR FAVORITE DOC MOMENTS New York, NY, October 19th 2010 - DOC NYC, New York’s Documentary Festival, announced its final slate of titles including the world premiere of “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” a new concert film with Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band performing their classic album. The film will screen at the Ziegfeld Theatre on November 4. Directed by the Grammy and Emmy award winner Thom Zimny, the film was shot last year at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, NJ in an unconventional manner without any audience in attendance. Springsteen’s manager Jon Landau has said this presentation “best captures the starkness of the original album.” The film will be released on DVD as part of the box set “The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story” later in November. “We wanted to give fans a one night only opportunity to see this spectacular performance on the Ziegfeld’s big screen,” said DOC NYC Artistic Director Thom Powers. A portion of the proceeds from this screening will be donated to the Danny Fund/Melanoma Research Alliance – a non-profit foundation devoted to advancing melanoma research and awareness set up after the 2008 passing of Danny Federici, longtime Springsteen friend and E-Street Band member. DOC NYC will help launch a new promo campaign of shorts called “Moments of Truth,” in which noteworthy figures (actors, politicians, musicians, etc) describe particular documentary moments that moved them.

  • Die Beach-Party-Filme (1963-1968) Zusammengestellt Von Katja Bruns Und James Zu Hüningen
    Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung, 5.4, 2011 // 623 Die Beach-Party-Filme (1963-1968) Zusammengestellt von Katja Bruns und James zu Hüningen Inhalt: Alphabetisches Verzeichnis der Filme Chronologisches Verzeichnis der Filme Literatur Als Beach Party Movies bezeichnet man ein kleines Genre von Filmen, das sich um die Produktionen der American International Pictures (AIP) versammelt. Zwar gab es eine Reihe von Vorläufern – zuallererst ist die Columbia-Produktion GIDGET aus dem Jahre 1959 zu nennen (nach einem Erfolgsroman von Frederick Kohner), in dem Sandra Dee als Surferin aufgetreten war –, doch beginnt die kurze Erfolgsgeschichte des Genres erst mit BEACH PARTY (1963), einer AIP-Produktion, die einen ebenso unerwarteten wie großen Kassenerfolg hatte. AIP hatte das Grundmuster der Gidget-Filme kopiert, die Geschichte um diverse Musiknummern angereichert, die oft auch als performances seinerzeit populärer Bands im Film selbst szenisch ausgeführt wurden, und die Darstellerinnen in zahlreichen Bikini-Szenen ausgestellt (exponierte männliche Körper traten erst in den Surfer-Szenen etwas später hinzu). Das AIP-Konzept spekulierte auf einen primär jugendlichen Kreis von Zuschauern, weshalb – anders, als noch in der GIDGET-Geschichte – die Rollen der Eltern und anderer Erziehungsberechtigter deutlich zurückgenommen wurden. Allerdings spielen die Auseinandersetzungen mit Eltern, vor allem das Erlernen eines selbstbestimmten Umgangs mit der eigenen Sexualität in allen Filmen eine zentrale dramatische Rolle. Dass die Jugendlichen meist in peer groups auftreten und dass es dabei zu Rang- oder Machtkämpfen kommt, tritt dagegen ganz zurück. Es handelte sich ausschließlich um minimal budgetierte Filme, die on location vor allem an den Stränden Kaliforniens (meist am Paradise Cove) aufgenommen wurden; später kamen auch Aufnahmen auf Hawaii und an anderen berühmten Surfer-Stränden zustande.

  • Big Sur for Other Uses, See Big Sur (Disambiguation)
    www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Big Sur For other uses, see Big Sur (disambiguation). Big Sur is a lightly populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. Although it has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (140 km) of coastline from the Carmel River in Monterey County south to the San Carpoforo Creek in San Luis Obispo County,[1][2] and extend about 20 miles (30 km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias. Other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland. Another practical definition of the region is the segment of California State Route 1 from Carmel south to San Simeon. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". This name refers to its location south of the city of Monterey.[3] The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only 3 miles (5 km) from the ocean.[4] The name Big Sur can also specifically refer to any of the small settlements in the region, including Posts, Lucia and Gorda; mail sent to most areas within the region must be addressed "Big Sur".[5] It also holds thousands of marathons each year.
