    Richard Burton For other people named Richard Burton, see Richard Burton (disambiguation). Richard Burton, CBE (/ˈbɜrtən/; 10 November 1925 – 5 August 1984) was a Welsh stage and cinema actor[1] noted for his mellifluous baritone voice and his great act- ing talent.[2][3] Establishing himself as a formidable Shakespearean ac- tor in the 1950s, with a memorable performance of Hamlet in 1964, Burton was called “the natural suc- cessor to Olivier" by critic and dramaturg Kenneth Ty- nan.

  • 2019 Seminar Abstracts: Shakespeare in Film History Greg Semenza, University of Connecticut
    1 2019 Seminar Abstracts: Shakespeare in Film History Greg Semenza, University of Connecticut SAA Seminar Description: Shakespeare in Film History (#42). Saturday, April 20th. 4:00-6:00 PM. In spite of increased sensitivity within Adaptation Studies to the importance of history for adaptation and appropriation, the literary text too often continues to dominate the conception and structure of most studies of literature on film. This seminar seeks to redress this imbalance by exploring how Shakespeare films have functioned and evolved in the context of the film industry. Papers are welcome on the cultural and political forces at work in various eras of film history from 1895-2018. Seminar Respondent: Courtney Lehmann, University of the Pacific Eric Brown, University of Maine at Farmington “The Lost Years: All Is True and the Branagh Lacuna” For the better part of a decade, no film director did more to build and popularize cinematic Shakespeare than Kenneth Branagh. Critical and box office successes, his films were the crown jewels of 1990s Shakespeare on screen. At the turn of the 21st century, Branagh was poised to deliver increasingly experimental adaptive works: a musical Love’s Labor’s Lost, a Mafioso Macbeth, and a version of As You Like It set in Japan. Love’s Labor’s Lost, however, was perhaps the greatest flop of 2000 and doomed the others—As You Like It was eventually completed but had minimal theatrical release and maximal poor reception. Macbeth was never made. Twelve years have passed since Branagh’s last Shakespeare film, during which time he morphed from the gritty upstart crow of Henry V to a polished deliverer of recent Hollywood blockbusters.

  • PROGRAMME NOTES VICTIM.Eps
    TCM BREAKFAST CLUB SCREENING Victim I 1961 Directed by Basil Dearden The words “daring” and “groundbreaking” are frequently over-blown epithets in the movie business, but in the case of Victim (1961) they are entirely appropriate. For this film helped not just change attitudes towards a taboo subject – homosexuality – but even prompted changes in the law. Its star, Dirk Bogarde, showed enormous courage and integrity in agreeing to play the part of Melville Farr, the barrister who decides to take on a ring of blackmailers extorting men from gay men. TCM writer David Humphrey looks at how the film came to be made in an era when homosexuality was still the love that dared not speak its mind. With typical purposefulness and strength of character, Dirk move by the matinee idol, who would have sensed that public Bogarde thrust his head far above the parapet by taking the opinion was shifting towards a liberalisation of the laws that starring role in Victim. It was after all the first mainstream film forbade same-sex relationships. In real life, Bogarde himself on either side of the Atlantic to so shamelessly feature a gay was homosexual, but never made that public and was hero. In Britain’s prevailing moral climate, appearing in such a notoriously evasive whenever the fact was even hinted at. In his production could have been the kiss of death to the career of an memoirs about the life and death of his partner Tony Forwood, actor until now celebrated chiefly for action hero roles and light for example, he displayed an endearingly old-fashioned romantic parts in forgettable productions like Doctor in the House scrupulousness by portraying their relationship as actor and and Doctor at Sea.

  • Ealing Studios and the Ealing Comedies: the Tip of the Iceberg
    Ealing Studios and the Ealing Comedies: the Tip of the Iceberg ROBERT WINTER* In lecture form this paper was illustrated with video clips from Ealing films. These are noted below in boxes in the text. My subject is the legendary Ealing Studios comedies. But the comedies were only the tip of the iceberg. To show this I will give a sketch of the film industry leading to Ealing' s success, and of the part played by Sir Michael Balcon over 25 years.! Today, by touching a button or flicking a switch, we can see our values, styles, misdemeanours, the romance of the past and present-and, with imagination, a vision of the" future. Now, there are new technologies, of morphing, foreground overlays, computerised sets, electronic models. These technologies affect enormously our ability to give currency to our creative impulses and credibility to what we do. They change the way films can be produced and, importantly, they change the level of costs for production. During the early 'talkie' period there many artistic and technical difficulties. For example, artists had to use deep pan make-up to' compensate for the high levels of carbon arc lighting required by lower film speeds. The camera had to be put into a soundproof booth when shooting back projection for car travelling sequences. * Robert Winter has been associated with the film and television industries since he appeared in three Gracie Fields films in the mid-1930s. He joined Ealing Studios as an associate editor in 1942 and worked there on more than twenty features. After working with other studios he became a founding member of Yorkshire Television in 1967.

  • Googie Withers and John Mccallum Brian Mcfarlane
    CLASS ACT: GOOGIE WITHERS AND JOHN MCCALLUM BRIAN MCFARLANE s I talked to the McCallums in May this year, I had to keep reminding myself that they are both in their nineties and that they’ve been in the business of entertaining us for over seventy years. Anyone who saw them in any of the films or plays in which they co-starred will know how well they Aplayed together professionally. As you watch them together now, complementing (and complimenting) each other, you can’t help wondering how much of their professional success was a spin-off from a stimulating partnership off-screen or off-stage. It seems timely to pay tribute to them for what they achieved in the performing arts in Australia and elsewhere. googie Googie Withers came to prominence in British films in the 1940s, when British cinema was enjoying its finest hours and when there was a flurry of memorable women stars. If they are not well known today, they certainly were then: Sally Gray with the eloquent voice and slightly melancholy mien; patrician Valerie Hobson; Ann Todd of the ambiguous, chiselled blonde features; Phyllis Calvert, so much smarter than the goody- goody image that was foisted on her; Margaret Lockwood, flaring her nostrils and baring her cleavage in a refined version of passion; sexy bad-girl Jean Kent getting into a lot of entertaining trouble; and Anna Neagle being so ladylike that you wanted her to slip 103 04_Essays.indd 103 29/7/09 3:36:53 PM on a banana skin. But Googie Withers was something else.
