  • GUNSMOKE TV CAST and DETAILS Premiered
    GUNSMOKE TV CAST AND DETAILS Premiered: September 10, 1955, on CBS Rating: TV-PG Premise: This landmark adult Western centered on Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City. John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing). Gunsmoke Cast • James Arness : Marshal Matt Dillon • Milburn Stone : Dr. Galen `Doc' Adams • Amanda Blake : Kitty Russell • Dennis Weaver : Chester Goode • Ken Curtis : Festus Haggen • Burt Reynolds : Quint Asper • James Nusser : Louie Pheeters • Charles Seel : Barney Danches • Howard Culver : Howie Culver • Tom Brown : Ed O'Connor • John Harper : Percy Crump • Dabbs Greer : Mr. Jonus • George Selk : Moss Grimmick • Hank Patterson : Hank Miller • Glenn Strange : Sam • Sarah Selby : Ma Smalley • Ted Jordan : Nathan Burke • Roger Ewing : Clayton Thaddeus `Thad' Greenwood • Roy Roberts : Mr. Bodkin • Woody Chamblis : Mr. Lathrop • Buck Taylor : Newly O'Brien • Charles Wagenheim : Halligan • Pat Hingle : Dr. John Chapman • Fran Ryan : Miss Hannah Gunsmoke Credits • Sam Peckinpah : Screenwriter Gunsmoke Directors • Harry Horner : Director Gunsmoke Guest Cast • Aaron Saxon : Basset • Aaron Spelling : Weed Pindle • Abraham Sofaer : Harvey Easter • Adam West : Hall

  • Moral Knowledge and the Politics of Cinema Censorship Erin Elif Alp
    Screen Cleaning: Moral Knowledge and the Politics of Cinema Censorship Erin Elif Alp Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2015 Erin Elif Alp All rights reserved ABSTRACT Screen Cleaning: Moral Knowledge and the Politics of Cinema Censorship Erin Elif Alp This dissertation asks how the structure of moral authority and media viewership in America has changed over the course of the 20th century. In order to address this question, I examine the ways in which American films are, and have been, labeled inappropriate or appropriate for public viewership. I ask how censorship, regulation and rating systems work to create and manage moral ambiguity, and what types of ramifications moral ambiguity is thought to have on viewers. I also address the types of problems associated with American cinema over time, and propose several analytical dimensions to capture and unpack the processes of censoring cinema. This framework is built on the notions of filth and moral ambiguity, moral repercussion, a process of responsibilization, and the telos for cinema, all of which influences how an organization interacts with movies and morality. In lapses of symmetry between on- and off-screen worlds, moral ambiguity arises in ways that responsibilize either content controllers or audiences themselves. I show the links between these articulations and how the moral repercussions of exposure to cinema are defined. I also argue that where in the past moral ambiguity was commonly perceived as a dangerous aspect of cinema, especially by censors and Hollywood film production regulators, contemporary movie raters present a film’s moral ambiguity as a resource to the viewer.

Name Photo Leonardo DiCaprio Brad Pitt Jason Statham Jet Li Henry Cavill Nicolas Cage Bruce Willis Scarlett Johansson Favorite Actor Though they may not be included in that list for some reason, my favorite actor is Cary Grant (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3485845/nm0000026). They are known for: North by Northwest Notorious To Catch a Thief Their biography: “Once told by an interviewer,”Everybody would like to be Cary Grant“, Grant is said to have replied,”So would I." Cary Grant was born Archibald Alec Leach in Horfield, Bristol, England, to Elsie Maria (Kingdon) and Elias James Leach, who worked in a factory. His early years in Bristol would have been an ordinary lower-middle-class childhood, except for one extraordinary event. At age nine, he came home from school one day and was told his mother had gone off to a seaside resort. The real truth, however, was that she had been placed in a mental institution, where she would remain for years, and he was never told about it (he wouldn’t see his mother again until he was in his late 20s). He left school at fourteen, lying about his age and forging his father’s signature on a letter to join Bob Pender’s troupe of knockabout comedians. He learned pantomime as well as acrobatics as he toured with the Pender troupe in the English provinces, picked up a Cockney accent in the music halls in London, and then in July 1920 was one of the eight Pender boys selected to go to the US.

  • Hays Gone By: the Proto-Feminism of Pre-Code Hollywood and the Films
    Hays Gone By: The Proto-Feminism of Pre-Code Hollywood and the Films of Mae West By Daniel Simpson A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada July, 2019 Copyright © Daniel Simpson, 2019 For Mom and Dad ii Abstract Pre-Code Hollywood has famously been described as an alternative universe of American cinema, as looser censorship restrictions allowed filmmakers to explore adult themes of violence and sexuality far more openly than would be permissible under Joseph Breen and the Production Code Association. My thesis addresses how this era gave rise to a proto-feminist cinema through the transgression of Production Code rules pertaining to gender and sexuality. Though the Pre- Code era was no stranger to virulently misogynistic works, the lack of strict censorship allowed filmmakers to put forth depictions of independent women who were sexually active and in control of their lives. The epitome of this archetype is Mae West, who not only portrayed sex sirens with tremendous agency on-screen, but also took an active role behind-the-scenes as a screenwriter and should be considered the primary author of her films. Though West’s independence on and off-screen would diminish as the Pre-Code era ended, her work remains a trove of proto-feminist cinema through its subversion of male gaze and its consideration of a female spectator. Understanding West’s films, and the era which produced them, helps provide insight on the challenges faced by women in Hollywood, and more specifically, how women- centric art is often devalued and dismissed.

  • An Octoroon in the Kindling’’: American Vernacular & Blackface Minstrelsy in S Hollywood
    Journal of American Studies, (), , –. Printed in the United Kingdom # Cambridge University Press ‘‘An Octoroon in the Kindling’’: American Vernacular & Blackface Minstrelsy in s Hollywood PETER STANFIELD For close on to a hundred years discourses on national identity, European ethnic assimilation and the problem of class division within the Republic had been principally addressed in the popular arts through the agency of the black mask. During the s, blackface in American films shifted from the idea implied in the racial slur, ‘‘nigger in the woodpile,’’ to the rather less visible, but no less derogatory, ‘‘octoroon in the kindling,’’ a phrase used in Her Man (Pathe! , Tay Garnett, ) to suggest something is amiss, but which is used here to suggest the cultural miscegenation that " informs much of the material discussed in this article. When Hollywood introduced synchronized sound in the late s, blackface minstrelsy as a mass form of entertainment had long been on the wane. Yet, blackface performance maintained a limited public profile with the film industry’s recruitment and promotion of Broadway blackface acts like Al Jolson and Eddie Cantor, and with the production of films based # on nostalgic reconstructions of American’s theatrical and musical past. Although the performance of blackface decreased during the s, its legacy continued to resonate in Hollywood’s construction of an American vernacular. American cinema found itself in the paradoxical position of needing to evoke traditions of blackface minstrelsy so that a given film Peter Stanfield is a Lecturer in the Media Arts Faculty, Southampton Institute, East Park Terrace, Southampton, SO YN, England.
