  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release June 1990 Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965 July 1 - September 11, 1990 This summer, The Museum of Modern Art pays tribute to Twentieth Century Fox with a retrospective of over ninety films made between 1935 and 1965. Opening on July 1, 1990, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX: 1935-1965 traces three key decades in the history of the studio, celebrating the talents of the artists on both sides of the cameras who shaped this period. The exhibition continues through September 11. Formed in 1915, the Fox Film Corporation merged in 1935 with the much younger Twentieth Century to launch a major new studio. Under the supervision of Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century Fox developed a new house style, emphasizing epic biographies such as John Ford's The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936) and Allan Dwan's Suez (1938) and snappy urban pictures such as Sidney Lanfield's Hake Up and Live (1937) and Roy Del Ruth's Thanks a Million (1935). The studio also featured such fresh screen personalities as Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, and Shirley Temple. From this time on, the studio masterfully anticipated and shaped the tastes of the movie-going public. During World War II, Twentieth Century Fox made its mark with a series of exuberant Technicolor musicals featuring such actresses as Betty Grable and Carmen Miranda. After the war, the studio shifted focus and began to highlight other genres including films noirs such as Edmund Goulding's Nightmare Alley (1947) and Otto Preminger's Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950), wry satirical films such as Joseph L.

  • Karina Longworth on Howard Hughes's Hollywood
    SEDUCTION Karina Longworth on Howard Hughes’s Hollywood by Vince Keenan he Many Loves of Howard Hughes” was an essential early series of Karina Longworth’s acclaimed podcast You Must Remember This about “the secret and/or forgotten his- tory of Hollywood’s first century.” These episodes spotlighting several women involved with the renowned filmmaker and aviator form the foundation of Longworth’s new book “TSeduction: Sex, Lies, and Stardom in Howard Hughes’s Hollywood. Telling the story of the figure who personified the male gaze from the perspective of the women drawn into his orbit proved an ambitious undertaking; after two years of research, Longworth said, “I learned much more than I ever could have predicted.” She unearthed enough material to spawn a six-episode season of You Must Remember This diving deeper into subjects only touched on in Seduction, including the careers of director Rupert Hughes (Howard’s uncle) and actress Linda Darnell. NOIR CITY spoke with the former film editor at L.A.

  • A Letter to Three Wives and All About Eve
    Classic Hollywood Women in Focus: A Letter to Three Wives and All About Eve A Classic Film Study Guide Designed by the Educational Guidance Institute Classic Hollywood Women in Focus: A Letter to Three Wives and All About Eve Adapted from The Feminine Soul ©2020 Educational Guidance Institute Women’s Identity and Integrity: The Ideas Are in The Images The leading ladies in these two critically acclaimed films created by Joseph L. Mankiewicz help us focus on the timeless essence of women’s identity and integrity through the lens of classic cinema storytelling. As seen in these dramas, it is often very difficult to separate the actress herself from the character she plays. We love them both as one person. We are drawn to these women in a mysterious way through the characters they portray. The women in these film stories are on a journey of self-discovery. At every turn they use their gifts of intelligence, heart and free-will to make choices and life decisions in true freedom. These women do not appear to us as passive victims of a fate over which they have no control. They triumph over adversity with their personhood intact. With one exception, which is tragically portrayed in All About Eve, these women grow in their identity as persons of integrity. Classic Hollywood Women in Focus: A Letter to Three Wives and All About Eve Adapted from 1 The Feminine Soul ©2020 Educational Guidance Institute For Discussion Leaders: Taking Full Advantage of the Universal Appeal of Classic Films Different aspects of film artistry will appeal to each viewer in a unique way.

  • The Two Faces of John Ford
    84 The two faces of John Ford The Informer (1935) , The Prisoner of Shark Island, (1936), Stagecoach, Young Mr Lincoln, Drums Along the Mohawk (all 1939), The Grapes of Wrath, The Long Voyage Home (both 1940), My Darling Clementine (1946), Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), Wagon Master (1950), The Sun Shines Bright (1953), The Searchers (1956), The Horse Soldiers (1959), and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) Ford will make one film which attacks the American equivalent of fascism – and then the next with a near-fascist message. He’ll make an open-eyed, truthful film one year, and, the next year, one awash with sentimentality and mendacity. For sentimentality and mendacity, The Informer is hard to beat. The problem is, that it’s also a riveting film to watch – in part because of the excellence of its photography (by Joseph H. August, later to photograph The Devil and Daniel Webster ), in part because of the barefaced audacity of its mendacious sentiments. In part, also, because of the way our jaws drop in wonder at the question, just how bad does a performance have to be before it’s deemed unworthy of an Oscar? Victor McLaglen is so clumsy as the film’s halfwit protagonist, he makes Lon Chaney jr.’s turn as Lenny in Of Mice and Men look like a Rembrandt. As with other cases of miscasting, the foolish argument seems to be that having the actor adrift gives a good idea of the character’s disorientation. 1 Betraying his best friend to the Black and Tans for £20, so that his prostitute girlfriend can buy a ticket to America (and happiness), McLaglen has spent £11 of it on booze and unsolicited charity before he knows what’s hit him.

  • Playing with Fire: a Counter-Factual History of Fallen Angel
    Playing with Fire: A Counter-Factual History of Fallen Angel Sam Roggen In his film noir Fallen Angel (1945), Otto Preminger depicts a passionate love triangle. Eric Stanton (Dana Andrews) is a stone-broke New York drifter and self-proclaimed press agent who reaches Walton, a small California beach town. There he hooks up with two local women: June Mills (Alice Faye) is an upright girl, who shares a house with her older sister, the dominant spinster Clara (Anne Revere); whereas Stella (Linda Darnell) is a part-time waitress and full-time femme fatale, firmly searching for a ticket out of Walton. On their first night out, Eric and Stella end up in a shady taproom, where he tries to seduce her by reading her palm lines. Eric: “You’ve got style. Beautiful style. You inherited that.” A cut to a reverse shot reveals Stella’s disparaging look. Eric: “Your father was a leading citizen. Rich.” She sniggers, as Eric continues. Eric: “He trusted people too much.” Stella: “And?” A cut to Eric. Eric: “Your mother … well, her line seems to run out.” Another reverse shot allows Stella to react. Stella: “Don’t scare me! She runs a boarding house in San Diego, and my old man came from a long line of drunks!” As she pronounces these last lines, Stella retains the scornful look that, over the years, would become one of Linda Darnell’s trademarks. This characteristic look always appeared intensely contemptuous, in line with the femme fatales she would inimitably portray throughout her career. As Jeanine Basinger explains, once Twentieth Century Fox had discovered the role that fitted her, Darnell would incessantly embody the “low-class, down-and-out babe who knew that her looks were her only bargaining chip.”[1] In this particular shot, however, her facial expression intrigues me more than usual.
