Molly Haskell has one of the most essential voices in the history of film criticism. Her work changed the way we look at film and how we write criticism. In addition to being about what it's about—the image and treatment of women throughout movie history—the book [From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in the Movies] is also about what's shown and what's withheld, what's said and what's unspoken, and what effect that all has on the viewer. MOLLY HASKELL , author and critic, grew up in Richmond, Va., went to Sweet Briar College, the University of London and the Sorbonne before settling in New York. She worked at the French Film Office in the Sixties, writing a newsletter about French films for the New York press and interpreting when directors came to America (this was the height of the Nouvelle Vague) for the opening of their films. She then went to The Village Voice, first as a theater critic, then as a movie reviewer; and from there to New York Magazine and Vogue. She has written for many publications, including The New York Times, The Guardian UK, Esquire, The Nation, Town and Country, The New York Observer and The New York Review of Books. She has served as Artistic Director of the Sarasota French Film Festival, on the selection committee of the New York Film Festival, as associate Professor of Film at Barnard and as Adjunct Professor of Film at Columbia University. She won a Guggenheim Fellowship for 2010 and was featured in the Library of America's 2006 "American Movie Critics" edited by Philip Lopate. She was married for 43 years to the film critic Andrew Sarris who died in 2012. Her books include From Reverence to Rape: the Treatment of Women in the Movies (1973; revised and reissued in 1989); a memoir, Love and Other Infectious Diseases; and, in 1997, a collection of essays and interviews, Holding My Own in No Man's Land: Women and Men and Films and Feminists ; and Frankly My Dear: Gone with the Wind Revisited , which was part of Yale University Press's American Icon series. BUY NOW from University of Chicago Press. Molly Haskell. Exuberant is the best word for Molly Haskell’s Frankly, My Dear. a slim, unfailingly intelligent, fact-filled book that sets out to explain why Gone With the Wind (both book and movie) exercises such a potent and enduring hold on our imagination. Ms. Haskell. argues convincingly that the power of the Gone With the Wind archetypes—their “extraordinary human resonance”—derives principally from the deeply divided natures of Margaret Mitchell, David Selznick and Vivien Leigh. The argument touches on a wide variety of complicated topics, from race and gender to mass culture and the history of the Civil War, but that doesn’t stop Ms. Haskell from paying minute attention to the details, say, of the saga of how Leigh got to play Scarlett. In short, Frankly, My Dear is both ambitious and entertaining, cultivated and gossipy. On the one hand, Ms. Haskell quotes William James on our eternal fascination with war; on the other, she quotes Howard Hughes on the difference between swaggering Victor Fleming and the kindly, sensitive George Cukor: “Victor has the same talent, it’s just strained through a coarser sieve.” To give you a taste of the sheer verve of Ms. Haskell’s writing, here’s her summary description of Leigh, Ingrid Bergman and Greta Garbo before they were transformed into bona fide stars: “These actresses hadn’t yet had their eyebrows plucked, their teeth whitened and straightened, their breasts raised, their hairlines changed—in other words, been submerged in the Hollywood developing emulsion that raises star power to its full electromagnetic force.” The San Francisco Chronicle, Mick LaSalle http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/03/01/RVO415I8UV.DTL. Armond White in the New York Times Book Review "What the Wind Blew In" February 26, 2009. “Frankly, My Dear” praises “Gone With the Wind” for illuminating still-conflicting romantic ideas. This comes at a time when film culture has fragmented into fan-boy/chick-flick dichotomies and populist-​versus-elitist criticism. Haskell’s endeavor, different from high-art appreciation yet not far from it, brings together audience taste and intellectual specification. Since adolescence, her admiration for the film has developed into “a more grown-up affection informed by a film lover’s appreciation of the small miracle by which a mere ‘woman’s film’ with a heroine who never quite outgrows adolescence was transfigured into something much larger, something profoundly American, a canvas that contains, if not Walt Whitman’s multitudes, at least multiple perspectives”. In Haskell’s thoughtful revisionism, Scarlett comes to embody personal and national contradictions. The chapter “E Pluribus Unum” shows how the “dualisms” of her creators were gathered into a credibly whole personality. Focusing on Scarlett’s turbulent, childlike ways, Haskell illustrates the traits of beauty, self-regard and “the uninhibited will to act” that have made “Gone With the Wind” one of the least dated classic Hollywood movies. These attributes will always be disputed, but Haskell’s critical sensitivity rescues Scarlett’s Americanism and femininity, indicating how her image redounds upon our eternal political struggles and deepest fantasies. Haskell clarifies the long shadow that Scarlett O’Hara casts over the American movie imagination. More than fiddle-de-dee. G one with the Wind, both the film and the book, has long been a key staging post in female adolescence. For generations its lush melodrama, dodgy sexual politics and great frock opportunities have sung out to any young girl yearning for something she couldn't quite place. It was, if you like, a fairytale for almost-adults, with Scarlett O'Hara as the wayward princess and Rhett Butler as the deliciously indifferent hero. Molly Haskell was one of those girls who grew up thrilling to GWTW's every silly, rotten riff. What makes her particular response worth reading, however, is that she went on to become a pioneering feminist film critic, principally for New York Magazine. Haskell is a southerner, with a great- great-grandfather who led a cavalry regiment during the civil war, so she also knows exactly the provincial yet patrician culture from which Margaret Mitchell and her book sprang. It is the movie, rather than the book, which is the true subject of this quirky, clever study. What intrigues Haskell is how a project so bungled - two directors, a string of scriptwriters, multiple nervous breakdowns - could have come together at the 11th hour. At the heart of her exploration are three inter-twined life stories: that of Margaret Mitchell, the genteel, one-book wonder from Atlanta, David O Selznick, the pushy immigrant producer who passed in Hollywood as an intellectual, and Vivien Leigh, at this point not mad and never lovelier. Mitchell's story will be the least known to British readers. Born into Atlanta high society in 1900, she spent her life trying to work out what it meant to be a southern belle, and whether she wanted to be one anyway. Unusually, she went out to work - as a journalist on the Atlanta Journal - but only because she had made the biggest belle mistake of all by marrying badly. Her husband, called "Red" (make of that what you will), was a shiftless loser. After 10 months she divorced him and married someone sensible called John. The couple cultivated his'n'hers illnesses with a kind of foetid passion, and it was while she was hobbled by a rheumatic ankle that Gone With the Wind poured out of her, written on little scraps of paper and secreted around the house. Neither art nor craft - there are far too many loose ends and longueurs - the novel nonetheless had a kind of de-historicised hyper-realism which made it perfect for America on the eve of the second world war. The fact that three of the leading actors in the film were British - Leigh, Leslie Howard and Olivia de Havilland - only underscored the sense that current conflicts, rather than old battles, were the real subjects under scrutiny. This double perspective of the 1860s and the 1930s allows Haskell to explore the way in which GWTW deals, and doesn't deal, with tricky topics. She is particularly good on the issue of slavery, which is virtually written out of the book and the film, so that you'd be forgiven for forgetting that the whole drama of saving Tara was actually about maintaining an economic and social status quo of a particularly wicked kind. However, with the casting of the film in 1939, this inconvenient truth bobbed to the surface once again. Hattie McDaniel, the African-American actress who played Mammy, was herself the daughter of former slaves and had cobbled together a career in vaudeville doing minstrel routines. At the premier of the film in Atlanta she was asked to stay away.

Abstract This collection contains documents related to the life and career of Andrew Sarris, an influential American film critic and Professor in the Film Division of Columbia University’s School of the Arts. Professional and personal correspondence, rough drafts of articles, clippings of newspaper columns written by Sarris and his peers, and back issues of film periodicals represent the bulk of this collection. The documents span several decades, from his start as a film critic and theorist in the mid-1950s to the last years of his long tenure at The Village Voice in the late 1980s.

Born in Brooklyn on October 31, 1928, Sarris was the child of immigrant parents who fell on hard times with the onset of the Great Depression. In 1946, he enrolled at Columbia for his undergraduate studies, but around this time, he developed a love of cinema that interfered with his schoolwork, and consequently his grades were poor.

    THE MERYL STREEP MYSTIQUE: A STUDY OF GENDER, AGING, HOLLYWOOD AND A FEMALE STAR by Tracy Allerton A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida December 2010 Copyright by Tracy Allerton 2010 ii ABSTRACT Author: Tracy Allerton Title: The Meryl Streep Mystique: A Study of Gender, Aging, Hollywood and a Female Star Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Christine Scodari Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2010 This thesis employs a star study of Meryl Streep, incorporating pertinent feminist, reception and culture-studies theories, to investigate biases within the Hollywood film industry. The actress has enjoyed a resurgence as a leading lady at age 61. Streep’s star persona, acting prowess and career arc are examined across three theoretical platforms— production of culture, textual analysis, and audience analysis—for clues as to why she has been singled out among her peers. This thesis posits that Streep’s unique star image and surge in popularity have helped her break out of hegemonic articulations of gender and aging that privilege youthful beauty, putting female stars at a disadvantage within the capitalistic film industry. Also considered is the cultural significance of Streep’s late-life success: Does she represent new openings for older actresses (and concomitantly, an increase in film representations of aging women), or is she merely an anomaly within the entrenched patriarchal system? iv TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER ONE ................................................................................................................. 1 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION ........................................................................ 1 Introduction....................................................................................................................

  • When Movies Mattered
    Introduction This book brings together a number of movie reviews written a long time ago and in a cultural context very diff erent from the one we know today. If these pieces still have any interest, and I hope they do, it’s in large part because they belong to a precious but transient moment in fi lm criti- cism—before journalism and academia went their widely diff erent ways and it was briefl y possible to write about fi lms with serious intent for a wide, popular audience. The articles in this collection range from 1974 to 1986, a period that saw the emergence of both the so- called fi lm generation—bred out of campus fi lm societies and busy commercial art theaters—and the so-called alter- native press, an extension of the underground newspapers of the fl ower power era into for-profi t respectability. Publications like the SoHo Weekly News, the Los Angeles Weekly, the San Francisco Bay Guardian, and the paper where I was lucky enough to be hired as the fi rst staff fi lm critic, the Chicago Reader, discovered a formula that largely liberated them from the need to tailor editorial content to the narrow interests of a target audience. By hooking readers on service features such as extensive event listings and free classifi ed advertising, these publications could allow themselves a certain indulgence when it came to the topics (and lengths) of feature articles and reviews. The Reader could comfortably place a fi fty thousand– word story about beekeeping on the front page, secure in the knowledge that readers would pick up the paper in any case in order to look for an apartment or learn what band was playing at their favorite club.
