  • Imperial Desire and Masculine Crisis in Early Francoist Film Representations of the Loss of the Philippines and Cuba
    IMPERIAL DESIRE AND MASCULINE CRISIS IN EARLY FRANCOIST FILM REPRESENTATIONS OF THE LOSS OF THE PHILIPPINES AND CUBA Jo Labanyi New York University It is well known that one of the prime motives triggering the Nationalist uprising against the Second Republic in 1936 was military resentment at the loss of empire, perceived by the military as the fault of inept politicians to whose orders they were subordinate. As is also well known, the 1941 film scripted by General Franco, Raza , starts in 1898 with the return of its naval-captain patriarch, Churruca, from service in the Philippines, only to be despatched immediately to Cuba, dying in battle against the US fleet. Churruca complains that the Spanish government’s ‘neglect’ of the Philippines is aggravating insurrection. The Spanish naval commander in Cuba, as he sends his captains into battle against the US fleet, tells them they are going to certain defeat but have to obey government orders. In Raza , this discourse on empire is intimately bound up with a discourse on patriarchy; past military defeats are compensated, not just by the Nationalist victory parade of April 1939 which ends the film, but by the docility with which, throughout the movie, women accept their role of “service” to men. The obverse of this is that male heroism depends on women continuing to play this instrumental role: a dependence on women that is the source of male unease. The two films discussed in this article -Los últimos de Filipinas and Bambú , both made in 1945 and set against the independence struggle in the Philippines and Cuba respectively- oscillate between stress on male bonding, which excludes women, and the dramatization of women’s power over men.

  • 1 BBC Four Biopics
    BBC Four biopics: Lessons in Trashy Respectability The broadcast of Burton and Taylor in July 2013 marked the end of a decade- long cycle of feature-length biographical dramas transmitted on BBC Four, the niche arts and culture digital channel of the public service broadcaster. The subjects treated in these biopics were various: political figures, famous cooks, authors of popular literature, comedians and singers. The dramas focused largely on the unhappy or complex personal lives of well-loved figures of British popular culture. From the lens of the 21st century, these dramas offered an opportunity for audiences to reflect on the culture and society of the 20th century, changing television’s famous function of ‘witness’ to one of ‘having witnessed’ and/or ‘remembering’ (Ellis, 2000). The programmes function as nostalgia pieces, revisiting personalities familiar to the anticipated older audience of BBC Four, working in concert with much of the archive and factual content on the digital broadcaster’s schedules. However, by revealing apparent ‘truths’ that reconfigure the public images of the figures they narrate, these programmes also undermine nostalgic impulses, presenting conflicting interpretations of the recent past. They might equally be seen as impudent incursions onto the memory of the public figures, unnecessarily exposing the real-life subjects to censure, ridicule or ex post facto critical judgement. Made thriftily on small budgets, the films were modest and spare in visual style but were generally well received critically, usually thanks to writerly screenplays and strong central performances. The dramas became an irregular but important staple of the BBC Four schedule, furnishing the channel with some of their highest ratings in a history chequered by low audience numbers.

  • HATTIE JACQUES Born Josephine Edwina Jacques on February 7" 1922 She Went on to Become a Nationally Recognised Figure in the British Cinema of the 1950S and 60S
    Hattie Jacaues Born 127 High St 1922 Chapter Twelve HATTIE JACQUES Born Josephine Edwina Jacques on February 7" 1922 she went on to become a nationally recognised figure in the British cinema of the 1950s and 60s. Her father, Robin Jacques was in the army and stationed at Shorncliffe Camp at the time of her birth. The Register of Electors shows the Jacques family residing at a house called Channel View in Sunnyside Road. (The register shows the name spelled as JAQUES, without the C. Whether Hattie changed the spelling or whether it was an error on the part of those who printed the register I don’t know) Hattie, as she was known, made her entrance into the world in the pleasant seaside village of Sandgate, mid way between Folkestone to the east and Hythe to the west. Initially Hattie trained as a hairdresser but as with many people of her generation the war caused her life to take a different course. Mandatory work saw Hattie first undertaking nursing duties and then working in North London as a welder Even in her twenties she was of a generous size and maybe as defence she honed her sense of humour after finding she had a talent for making people laugh. She first became involved in show business through her brother who had a job as the lift operator at the premises of the Little Theatre located then on the top floor of 43 Kings Street in Covent Garden. At end of the war the Little Theatre found itself in new premises under the railway arches below Charing Cross Station.

  • HANCOCK's HALF HOUR COLLECTIBLES Notes To
    HANCOCK’S HALF HOUR COLLECTIBLES Notes to accompany Volume 2 All photographs copyright (C) BBC The Tony Hancock Appreciation Society is delighted to have given its support to the production of this new and unique series concerning the lost or rare work of, and related to, Tony Hancock, one of our greatest comedians. Tony Hancock,1951 The Tony Hancock Appreciation Society (THAS) Since its inception in 1976, the THAS and its many allies have been at the forefront of efforts to find, preserve and promote the works of Tony Hancock. As detailed in the previous volume of this series, this toil has, over the decades, yielded innumerable discoveries of work by Hancock that was previously believed to have been lost. The result is that the THAS now has the most extensive archive of Hancock’s stage, radio, television, and film work in the world. In addition, we have myriad recorded items related to his career, such as interviews and documentaries featuring Hancock, his colleagues and friends. Each offers valuable insights into his life and work. It is this extensive collection, combined principally with that of Ted Kendall, the noted sound engineer and media researcher, and the contents of the BBC Sound Archives, that have enabled the publication of Hancock’s Half Hour Collectibles. It is natural for modern audiences to question why broadcast material is missing from the period in which Hancock was ascendant from the late 40s until 1968. As many readers may know, this issue has, in fact, affected the legacy of numerous performers, programmes and broadcasts; and this phenomenon is by no means limited to the BBC, the United Kingdom, or indeed, the period during which Hancock was active.

  • The Nation's Matron: Hattie Jacques and British Post-War Popular Culture
    The Nation’s Matron: Hattie Jacques and British post-war popular culture Estella Tincknell Abstract: Hattie Jacques was a key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, condensing a range of contradictions around power, desire, femininity and class through her performances as a comedienne, primarily in the Carry On series of films between 1958 and 1973. Her recurrent casting as ‘Matron’ in five of the hospital-set films in the series has fixed Jacques within the British popular imagination as an archetypal figure. The contested discourses around nursing and the centrality of the NHS to British post-war politics, culture and identity, are explored here in relation to Jacques’s complex star meanings as a ‘fat woman’, ‘spinster’ and authority figure within British popular comedy broadly and the Carry On films specifically. The article argues that Jacques’s star meanings have contributed to nostalgia for a supposedly more equitable society symbolised by socialised medicine and the feminine authority of the matron. Keywords: Hattie Jacques; Matron; Carry On films; ITMA; Hancock’s Half Hour; Sykes; star persona; post-war British cinema; British popular culture; transgression; carnivalesque; comedy; femininity; nursing; class; spinster. 1 Hattie Jacques (1922 – 1980) was a gifted comedienne and actor who is now largely remembered for her roles as an overweight, strict and often lovelorn ‘battle-axe’ in the British Carry On series of low- budget comedy films between 1958 and 1973. A key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, Hattie Jacques’s star meanings are condensed around the contradictions she articulated between power, desire, femininity and class.

    HANCOCK’S HALF HOUR COLLECTIBLES Notes to Accompany Volume 3 All photographs copyright (C) BBC (unless otherwise stated) The Tony Hancock Appreciation Society is delighted to have given its support to the production of this new and unique series concerning the lost works of Tony Hancock. Tony Hancock: BBC Publicity Shot for Hancock’s Half Hour, November 1956 The Tony Hancock Appreciation Society (THAS) Since its creation in 1976, the THAS has dedicated itself to preserving and promoting the works of Tony Hancock and, more crucially, to finding his broadcasts that were missing from the archives. Over the decades, these efforts have yielded a wealth of material, most notably lost episodes of his most beloved work on Hancock’s Half Hour for both television and radio. Many of these have now been located and returned to the BBC; some feature in this special series of Collectibles, now into 1 its third volume. However, many still remain lost at this time. In addition, our efforts have found other material – shows recorded before Hancock became a household name – from series such as Calling All Forces, Variety Bandbox and Star Bill. Again, examples of these can be found in this series. In the previous volumes, there was an extensive analysis of missing recordings from Hancock’s radio career, and, as ever, we remain hopeful that some of these recordings will emerge from private collections or, perhaps, the archives of the BBC or other institutions. In these notes, we will focus on a number of missing recordings and shows outside the ‘core’ work Hancock did on his eponymous series and those that preceded it.

April Competition I TOLD YOU I WAS ILL The April competition with Spike Milligan themed grid by Pickles and clued by Enigmatist, was won by Jos Tait of Preston Australia. Excellent solving! SPIKE MILLIGAN Feedback included: Enigmatist is one of my favourite setters and many of the reasons for that can be found in this puzzle: clever and challenging exploitation of an interesting theme; complex, cryptic and misleading clues – for example, it took me a long time to unravel the clue to IRONIC, but it is, as indeed are all his clues, ultimately both intricate and fair. A most enjoyable solve this month. Kmc One solver is speaking to another :- “Would you like to do this puzzle set by Enigmatist or climb the North face of the Eiger?” “Wait right there – I'll get the crampons!” GS Much fun to be had here, as Andre always has a go first. He was amazed when he came to complain that nothing could really contain Y__G T__G and I immediately burst into song... Quite an education in British culture for him! AR Thanks again for the great, and consistently entertaining, puzzles. JN Lovely to have the brilliant madcap humour of Spike Milligan celebrated and brought back to life again in such a clever puzzle. Again I am in awe of how much Engimatist was able to pack into the grid, and how many references Grid by there are, since I imagine the constraints of 3D must be greater than those Pickles of 2D.

  • The Final Interview Part 1
    THE MISSING PAGE THE NEWSLETTER OF THE TONY HANCOCK APPRECIATION SOCIETY FOUNDED IN 1976 Special Edition 2 - January 2017 - The Final Interview The Final Interview A collection of photographs, interviews and recollections of Tony Hancock's final days in Australia including Tony’s last known interview Compiled by Tristan Brittain-Dissont With special thanks to Graham McCarter, Sian Powell, Gareth Powell, John Tipper and Greg Ray. 1 Previously Unknown Photographs, Interviews and Recollections Discovered in Australia Tony Hancock New Perspectives on his Final Weeks By Tristan Brittain-Dissont Tony Hancock and Gareth Powell, Sebel Town House Hotel, Sydney, Australia 1968 (© Graham McCarter) One of the privileges of being the Archivist of the THAS is that it provides the opportunity to meet with a range of incredible people whose own unique talents and careers have led to their paths crossing with Tony’s in some way. Equally, given the passage of time, a less happy component of my research is the fact that we have lost so many individuals whose first-hand memories and experiences of their encounters with Tony were not fully captured for posterity. As this detailed article will show, both of these experiences have applied over the last few months as I researched Tony’s last weeks in Australia before his untimely death. In the course of this work, I have uncovered previously unknown photographs and recollections of Tony. I have also found an interview with Tony that has not, to my knowledge, been previously reproduced in the THAS magazines or by Tony’s numerous biographers. This project began in November 2015 when I was searching for rare or unusual photographs of Tony via Google Images.

  • Gb 1456 Thomas
    GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION SCOPE AND CONTENT Documents relating to the career of director GERALD THOMAS (Born Hull 10/12/1920, died Beaconsfield 9/11/1993). When Gerald Thomas died, his producer partner of 40 years Peter Rogers said: ‘His epitaph will be that he directed all the Carry On films.’ Indeed, for an intense 20-year period Thomas directed the Carry On gang through their innuendo laden exploits, and became responsible, along with Rogers, for creating one of the most enduring and endearing British film series, earning him his place in British popular culture. Thomas originally studied to become a doctor, before war service with the Royal Sussex Regiment put paid to his medical career. When demobilised in 1946, he took a job as assistant in the cutting rooms of Two Cities Films at Denham Studios, where he took Assistant Editor credits on Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) and the John Mills thriller The October Man (1947). In 1949, he received his first full credit as editor, on the Margaret Lockwood melodrama Madness of the Heart (1949). During this time Peter Rogers had been working as associate producer with his wife, producer Betty Box, on such films as It’s Not Cricket (1949) and Don’t Ever Leave Me (1949). It was Venetian Bird in 1952 that first brought Thomas and Rogers together; Thomas employed as editor by director brother Ralph, and Rogers part of the producer team with Betty Box. Rogers was keen to form a director/producer pairing (following the successful example of Box and Ralph Thomas), and so gave Gerald his first directing credit on the Circus Friends (1956), a Children’s Film Foundation production.
