Film Series Features Trouble in Paradise by David Nilsen rouble in Paradise (1932) is a witty and racy pre-Code comedy that tells the story of T two master con-artists (Herbert Marshall and the inimitable Miriam Hopkins) who fall in love after trying to pull cons on each other. When their money runs out, they must find a rich and gullible victim to unwittingly fund their expensive lifestyle. They target the owner of a world famous perfume line (Kay Francis), but things get complicated when Marshall’s character develops complicated feelings for his charming mark. rnst Lubitsch made a series of excellent romantic Ecomedies in the early 1930s. These films were marked by fast and clever dialogue, perfect comedic timing, and suggestive themes that were quite daring for their time. When Joseph Breen took over the Hays office in 1934 and began strictly enforcing the production code that governed morality in Hollywood films, Lubitsch's edgy style had to be curbed. These early talkie comedies show the direction Hollywood humor might have gone were it not for the Hays Code. oin us on Thursday, January 26, at 7 p.m., for this Jhilarious and stylish movie. I will be leading a brief discussion after the movie, and, as always, there will be free theater popcorn, candy, coffee, and Jones Soda. We hope to see you there.

  • Selling Masculinity at Warner Bros.: William Powell, a Case Study
    Katie Walsh Selling Masculinity at Warner Bros.: William Powell, A Case Study Abstract William Powell became a star in the 1930s due to his unique brand of suave charm and witty humor—a quality that could only be expressed with the advent of sound film, and one that took him from mid-level player typecast as a villain, to one of the most popular romantic comedy leads of the era. His charm lay in the nonchalant sophistication that came naturally to Powell and that he displayed with ease both on screen and off. He was exemplary of the success of the new kind of star that came into their own during the transition to sound: sharp- or silver-tongued actors who were charming because of their way with words and not because of their silver screen faces. Powell also exercised a great deal of control over his publicity and star image, which is best examined during his short and failed tenure as a Warner Bros. during the advent of his rise to stardom. Despite holding a great amount of power in his billing and creative control, Powell was given a parade of cookie-cutter dangerous playboy roles, and the terms of his contract and salary were constantly in flux over the three years he spent there. With the help of his agent Myron Selznick, Powell was able to navigate between three studios in only a matter of a few years, in search of the perfect fit for his natural abilities as an actor. This experimentation with star image and publicity marked the period of the early 1930s in Hollywood, as studios dealt with the quickly evolving art and technological form, industrial and business practices, and a shifting cultural and moral landscape.

  • MICHAEL CURTIZ: from HUNGARY to HOLLYWOOD Release
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release November 1992 MICHAEL CURTIZ: FROM HUNGARY TO HOLLYWOOD November 27, 1992 - January 23, 1993 A survey of more than fifty films by Michael Curtiz (1888-1962), one of cinema's most prolific directors from the studio era, opens on November 27, 1992, at The Museum of Modern Art. As Warner Bros, house director in the 1930s and 1940s, Curtiz symbolizes the crispness and energy that distinguished the Warners' style. On view through January 23, 1993, MICHAEL CURTIZ: FROM HUNGARY TO HOLLYWOOD explores the consistent quality and versatility of the filmmaker's work. The Hungarian-born Curtiz mastered virtually all genres and, during his twenty-seven-year career at Warner Bros., made every type of film from westerns and musicals to social dramas and comedies. A strong director of actors, he made stars of such disparate types as Errol Flynn, John Garfield, and Doris Day, and earned an Academy Award and a renewed career for Joan Crawford in Mildred Pierce (1945). Many of his films were popular critical and financial successes. Curtiz possessed an acute narrative sense, displayed in such remarkable films included in the exhibition as The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), with Flynn and Olivia de Havilland; Casablanca (1942), for which Curtiz received an Academy Award for Best Director; Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), the musical which won James Cagney an Academy Award; Mildred Pierce, the film noir portrait of an imperfect American family; Young Man with a Horn (1950), starring Kirk - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 Douglas as an obsessed jazz trumpeter and inspired by Bix Beiderbecke's life; and The Breaking Point (1950), based on Ernest Hemingway's To Have and Have Not, His early successes -- Cabin in the Cotton (1932), a melodrama about sharecroppers, and The Mystery of the Max Museum (1933), an early all-color horror film -- are also included in the exhibition.
