  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

Flanagan B.A., College of William and Mary, 2006 M.A., North Carolina State University, 2009 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2015 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH KENNETH P. DIETRICH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Kevin M. Flanagan It was defended on April 15, 2015 and approved by Colin MacCabe, Distinguished Professor, Department of English Adam Lowenstein, Associate Professor, Department of English David Pettersen, Assistant Professor, Department of French and Italian Dissertation Advisor: Lucy Fischer, Distinguished Professor, Department of English ii Copyright © by Kevin M. Flanagan 2015 iii THE BRITISH WAR FILM, 1939-1980: CULTURE, HISTORY, AND GENRE Kevin M. Flanagan, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2015 This dissertation argues that discussions of war representation that privilege the nationalistic, heroic, and redemptively sacrificial strand of storytelling that dominate popular memory in Britain ignore a whole counter-history of movies that view war as an occasion to critique through devices like humor, irony, and existential alienation. Instead of selling audiences on what Graham Dawson has called “the pleasure culture of war” (a nationally self-serving mode of talking about and profiting from war memory), many texts about war are motivated by other intellectual and ideological factors. Each chapter includes historical context and periodizing arguments about different moments in British cultural history, explores genre trends, and ends with a comparative analysis of representative examples.

  • Biran Wilde Blue Plaque Programme
    When Aldridge left Last of the Summer Wine in 1990, Wilde returned as Foggy, TAMESIDE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL reuniting the series’ most popular and recognisable line-up. Whilst preparing for filming the 1997 series, Wilde began suffering from a mild infection and stood down for the first five episodes in case his illness worsened. His temporary absence was A TRIBUTE TO BRIAN WILDE covered by Frank Thornton, whom Wilde himself suggested as a replacement, and who would continue, as it transpired, as the ‘third man’. In all, Brian appeared in more than 100 episodes of the series. Other Works During his break from Last of the Summer Wine in the mid 1980s, Brian created a new television role, as Major Wyatt in Wyatt’s Watchdogs. Wilde played a retired army major who forms a neighbourhood watch group populated with local busy bodies. ‘‘Wyatt’s just a pompous old fool’’, Brian said of the part. ‘‘It required very little effort for me to play him because there’s plenty of him in me. Ask my wife and children’’. The programme, which co-starred Trevor Bannister, was written by Miles Tredinnick and ran for six episodes in 1988. He also played radio station boss Roland Simpson in the first series of ITV comedy The Kit Curran Radio Show (1984) starring Denis Lawson. Brian was a subtle and delicate actor and those whom he worked alongside found him to be a charming and quirky character. He was not one to court publicity and generally avoided interviews, much preferring to spend his time gardening or meeting friends in his favourite country pub.

  • An Actor Approaches Playing the Role of Feste, Shakespeare’S Update of the Lord of Misrule
    INHERITING THE MOTLEY MANTLE: AN ACTOR APPROACHES PLAYING THE ROLE OF FESTE, SHAKESPEARE’S UPDATE OF THE LORD OF MISRULE By ANDREW CLATEMAN B.A.Brown University, 1989 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in the Department of Theatre in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2011 © 2011 Andrew Clateman ii ABSTRACT Playing role of Feste in William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night presents a complex challenge to the actor. Feste is at once a character in the world of the play and a clown figure with specific dramatic functions having roots in the Lord of Misrule of the English holiday and the Vice of the morality play. How can the actor playing Feste create a believable psychological portrayal that is aligned with the functions Shakespeare assigns the role? And be entertaining as well? I suggest that actor will benefit greatly from an exploration the traditional function of the clown its development in society and literature before Shakespeare, and how Shakespeare’s use of the clown developed, culminating in the writing of Twelfth Night. The actor will thereby have a better understanding of what Shakespeare might by trying to achieve with Feste,, and he (or she) may better find the motivations for Feste’s sometimes-enigmatic words and actions, which will, in turn, give shape and purpose to the clowning. I put this thesis to the test in preparing for and playing the role of Feste in Theater Ten Ten’s production of Twelfth Night in the spring of 2010 in New York City.
