  • 1 Exploring Detective Films in the 1930S and 1940S: Genre, Society and Hollywood
    Notes 1 Exploring Detective Films in the 1930s and 1940s: Genre, Society and Hollywood 1. For a discussion of Hollywood’s predilection for action in narratives, see Elsaesser (1981) and the analysis of this essay in Maltby (1995: 352−4). 2. An important strand of recent criticism of literary detective fiction has emphasised the widening of the genre to incorporate female and non-white protagonists (Munt, 1994; Pepper, 2000; Bertens and D’Haen, 2001; Knight, 2004: 162−94) but, despite Hollywood’s use of Asian detectives in the 1930s and 1940s, these accounts are more relevant to contemporary Hollywood crime films. 3. This was not only the case in B- Movies, however, as Warner’s films, includ- ing headliners, in the early 1930s generally came in at only about an hour and one- quarter due to budgetary restraints and pace was a similar neces- sity. See Miller (1973: 4−5). 4. See Palmer (1991: 124) for an alternative view which argues that ‘the crimi- nal mystery dominates each text to the extent that all the events in the narrative contribute to the enigma and its solution by the hero’. 5. Field (2009: 27−8), for example, takes the second position in order to create a binary opposition between the cerebral British whodunnit and the visceral American suspense thriller. 6. The Republic serials were: Dick Tracyy (1937), Dick Tracy Returns (1938), Dick Tracy’s G- Men (1939) and Dick Tracy vs Crime, Inc. (1941) (Langman and Finn, 1995b: 80). 7. The use of the series’ detectives in spy-hunter films after 1941, however, modifies this relationship by giving them at least an ideological affiliation with the discourses of freedom and democracy that Hollywood deploys in its propagandistic representation of the Allies in general and the United States in particular.

  • PROLOGUE Le Premier Roman D'espionnage a Être Publié Au
    PROLOGUE Le premier roman d’espionnage a être publié au début des années 50 dans Playboy est Casino Royal d’un inconnu complet Ian Fleming. L’ouvrage marquera peu les esprits autant tout le monde se souviendra de Marilyn Monroe autant tout le monde ne se souviendra que très peu de ce premier roman. Et puis un producteur Harry Saltzman s’intéressera au roman quelques années plus tard il s’associera à Albert R Broccoli et … mais vous connaissez la suite. Pendant 1 ce temps en France ou en Angleterre il y a deux séries qui marchent fort mais que James Bond finira par faire tomber dans l’oubli. OSS 117 et Le Saint sont deux excellents romans, Leslie Charteris pour le deuxième, Jean Bruce mais aussi sa femme Josette et ses enfants François et Martine écriront pendant des années les histoires du premier. 2 OSS 117 avant d’être parodié de façon un peu pitoyable par Jean Dujardin fut un excellent héros tant dans les romans que dans d’excellents films avec entre autre Frederik Stafford ou John Gavin (ce dernier fut envisagé un temps pour succéder à Sean Connery dans Au service secret de sa majesté), les romans étaient excellents surtout ceux de Jean Bruce même s’ils donnaient moins dans les descriptions à n’en plus finir de Ian Fleming et finalement c’était tant mieux. Le style des OSS 117 était plus simple 3 mais aussi je crois plus rapide, plus percutant, il faut quand même se souvenir qu’il faut attendre la page 160 dans Motel 007 (the spy who loved me) avant qu’il y ait un début d’histoire.
