Critical accolades for the orchestra’s wide-ranging recordings are frequent, including its important film music re-recordings with conductor William Stromberg and reconstructionist John Morgan for Marco Polo. Fanfare critic Royal S. Brown, reviewing the complete recording of Hans J. Salter and Paul Dessau’s landmark House of Frankenstein score, saluted the CD as a “valuable document on the kind of craftsmanship and daring in film scoring that passed by all but unnoticed because of the nature of the films.” Film Score Monthly praised the orchestra’s recording of Korngold’s Another Dawn score, adding that “Stromberg, Morgan and company could show some classical concert conductors a thing or two on how Korngold should be played and recorded.” The same magazine described a recording of suites from Max Steiner’s music for Virginia City and The Beast With Five Fingers as “full-blooded and emphatic.” And Rad Bennett of The Absolute Sound found so much to praise in the orchestra’s film music series he voiced a fervent desire that Marco Polo stay put in Moscow and “record film music forever”. Many of these recordings are now being reissued in the Naxos Film Music Classics series.

How Hollywood Films Portray Illness Robert A. Clark, M.D. Part I: Oncology Art imitates life, we are often told. Occasionally we also observe that life imitates art. Hollywood movies may fulfill the definition of art in both these adages. Movies evoke our fantasies, fears, loves, and hates and therefore reflect our lives. The art of film, however, diverges from real life because of the necessities of good story- telling: dramatization, plot lines, character development, and romanticism. There- fore, films are often imperfect reflections of our lives. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “There are no second acts in life.” Movies have been blamed for creating disturbing or profane cultural images, leading to societal ills such as violence, sexual deviancy, and isolation. Whether art imitates life or the reverse, it may be instructive to study how movies depict medi- cal themes, especially oncology, in order to understand how cancer and medicine are perceived in popular culture.

  • Film Essay for "Imitation of Life" (1959)
    Imitation of Life (1959) By Matthew Kennedy Universal Pictures was no stranger to remakes. In the 1950s, the studio revisited “Magnificent Obses- sion,” “The Spoilers,” and “My Man Godfrey,” among others. Studio head Edward Muhl wasn't sure anoth- er “Imitation of Life,” first filmed in 1934 (National Film Registry 2005 inductee), would fly in the late '50s until producer Ross Hunter suggested Lana Turner as the star. She had recently been embroiled in a scandal lurid even by Hollywood standards, her Mafioso boyfriend Johnny Stompanato fatally stabbed by her under-aged daughter. While other studios treated her like radioactive waste, Universal capitalized on Turner's volatile tabloid-headline life. On the first day of shooting, with press and flash bulbs everywhere, she overcame jitters and carried herself regally. She accepted floral bouquets and well wishes, then got to work and would take no questions regarding the killing. The studio backed her with lavish treatment befitting her status as an old school movie star, reportedly giving her the most luxurious trailer in Universal's history. Faint echoes are heard between the public and pri- vate Turner in “Imitation of Life.” The story began as a 1933 Fannie Hurst novel about the troubled rela- tionships between two pairs of mothers and daugh- ters, one black and one white. While Hunter combed over the source material, and even toyed with trans- ferring it into a Broadway musical, director Douglas Sirk conceptualized without reading the book or see- ing the original film. Key changes were made in transferring it to screen a second time.

  • Goulding, Edmund (1891-1959) by Matthew Kennedy
    Goulding, Edmund (1891-1959) by Matthew Kennedy Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. A drawing of Edmund Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Goulding published in 1939. Edmund Goulding was one of the most talented and eccentric characters of Golden Age Hollywood. He was a singer, actor, composer, screenwriter, and novelist, but he primarily excelled as a director. His romantic nature and sexual attraction to men endeared him to actresses, and for a time he was considered a great "woman's director," the equal of George Cukor. Goulding was born in London on March 20, 1891, during the twilight of the Victorian age. The son of a butcher, Goulding began acting in amateur theatricals and by 1909 began appearing on the West End in productions such as Gentlemen, The King (1909), Alice in Wonderland (1909), and a notorious presentation of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray (1913), adapted for the stage by G. Constant Lounsbery. Goulding served in World War I, then immigrated to the United States to become a singer. He was a fine idea man, and could crank out a silent screen scenario very quickly. His writing talents were in demand by producers at Paramount and Famous Players Lasky, and so his singing aspirations were shelved. He wrote for several early film stars, and met his greatest success as co-author of Henry King's Tol'able David, a 1921 silent masterpiece. Goulding directed Joan Crawford in her first substantial role, in Sally, Irene and Mary (1925), and Greta Garbo and John Gilbert in the smash hit Love (1927), before writing the script for Broadway Melody (1929), the first film musical.

  • A Guide to the Filmscripts in the Lilly Library Book Department
    From Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion to Zorro Rides Again: A Guide to the Filmscripts in the Lilly Library Book Department There are presently over nine hundred scripts in the Lilly Li­ brary Book department. The movies represented range from the silent version of Ben Hur to Breaking Away. The collection's scope is broad; one can find scripts for great film classics, musicals, mys­ teries, adventures, shorts, westerns, comedies, and science fiction movies. Many types of filmscripts make up the collection-drafts, cutting continuities, preliminary editions, shooting finals. Gener­ ally the scripts are accompanied by publicity photos. Although the majority of filmscripts in the collection are for talkies, several scripts are for silent films. The text of a silent film­ script is devoted primarily to directions for camera shots and de­ scriptions of the action, and provides title captions instead of dia­ logue. The earliest script in the collection is for The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (released in 1921), the film that gave Rudolph Valentino his first starring role. The Big Parade (1925), King Vidor's popular film about an average man's experiences at war, estab­ lished John Gilbert as a top star. The Jazz Singer (1927) was the first full length feature with both singing and talking, starring AI }olson in his first movie role. Wings (1928), considered to be the last of the silent spectaculars, was the first movie to receive an Academy Award. Clara Bow and Charles Rogers starred in this tale of World War I flyers. One of the most lavish films of the silent era was the the 1926 MGM version of Ben Hur, starring Ramon Novarro, directed by William Wellman.
