  • A Transcultural Perspective on the Casting of the Rose Tattoo
    RSA JOU R N A L 25/2014 GIULIANA MUS C IO A Transcultural Perspective on the Casting of The Rose Tattoo A transcultural perspective on the film The Rose Tattoo (Daniel Mann, 1955), written by Tennessee Williams, is motivated by its setting in an Italian-American community (specifically Sicilian) in Louisiana, and by its cast, which includes relevant Italian participation. A re-examination of its production and textuality illuminates not only Williams’ work but also the cultural interactions between Italy and the U.S. On the background, the popularity and critical appreciation of neorealist cinema.1 The production of the film The Rose Tattoo has a complicated history, which is worth recalling, in order to capture its peculiar transcultural implications in Williams’ own work, moving from some biographical elements. In the late 1940s Tennessee Williams was often traveling in Italy, and visited Sicily, invited by Luchino Visconti (who had directed The Glass Managerie in Rome, in 1946) for the shooting of La terra trema (1948), where he went with his partner Frank Merlo, an occasional actor of Sicilian origins (Williams, Notebooks 472). Thus his Italian experiences involved both his professional life, putting him in touch with the lively world of Italian postwar theater and film, and his affections, with new encounters and new friends. In the early 1950s Williams wrote The Rose Tattoo as a play for Anna Magnani, protagonist of the neorealist masterpiece Rome Open City (Roberto Rossellini, 1945). However, the Italian actress was not yet comfortable with acting in English and therefore the American stage version (1951) starred Maureen Stapleton instead and Method actor Eli Wallach.

  • Elia Kazan's East of Eden Scott Dill
    An Image of Social Character: Elia Kazan’s East of Eden Scott Dill In a letter written just before the release of Elia Kazan’s East of Eden (1955), John Steinbeck warmly praises the adaptation of his 1952 best-selling novel, claiming “it’s a real good picture . It might be one of the best films I ever saw” (Benson 773). The commendation has its own humility. Steinbeck includes the speculation that his own absence from the film contributed to its success. He writes, “I didn’t have anything to do with it. Maybe that’s why.” Kazan’s East of Eden significantly departs from the structure and symbolism of Steinbeck’s generation-spanning novel. The change is in part due to Kazan’s use of Paul Osborne to write the screenplay instead of Steinbeck. Kazan and Steinbeck had previously worked together on Viva Zapata! (1952), were still good friends, and Kazan had to “ask him as gently and tactfully as I could if I could fool around” with the novel (Young 197). Kazan, who thought Viva Zapata! too “diffuse,” agreed with Osborne’s suggestion to limit the script to the last third of the novel. This decision became the focal point of the adaptation, resulting in a film ironically immersed in some of the changing social mores disdainfully spurned by the novel. Where Steinbeck’s novel champions individual responsibility, Kazan’s film attacks the hypocrisy of narrowly individualistic morality. While both the film and the book celebrate the individual’s freedom to choose good over evil—leaving little to subtle suggestion—Kazan’s film more thoroughly expresses the moral temper of midcentury America.

He was joined by “The Merry Band of Pranksters,” a renegade group of counterculture truth-seekers, including Neal Cassady, the American icon immortalized in Kerouac’s “On the Road,” and the driver and painter of the psychedelic Magic Bus. Kesey and the Pranksters intended to make a documentary about their trip, shooting footage on 16MM, but the film was never finished and the footage has remained virtually unseen. With MAGIC TRIP, Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney and Alison Ellwood were given unprecedented access to this raw footage by the Kesey family. They worked with the Film Foundation, HISTORY and the UCLA Film Archives to restore over 100 hours of film and audiotape, and have shaped an invaluable document of this extraordinary piece of American history.
