Scholars have failed to assess cinematic achievements or the potential of adaptations as interpretive tools. This study will be the first to gauge the success of the five films attempting to recreate and inter­ pret Crane's vision. I gratefully acknowledge the benefic criticism of Dr. Gordon Weaver, Dr. Jeffrey Walker, and Dr. William Rugg. Each scholar has provided thoughtful direction in content, organization, and style. I am espe­ cially appreciative of the prompt reading and meticulous, constructive comments of Dr. Leonard J. Leff. Mr. Terry Basford and Mr. Kim Fisher of the Oklahoma State Univer­ sity library deserve thanks for encouraging and aiding the research process. My husband, Peter, provided invaluable inspiration, listened attentively, and patiently endured the many months of long working hours. Finally, I dedicate this study to my parents and to my Aunt, Florence & Fuller. Their emotional and financial support have made my career as a scholar both possible and rewarding. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I. INTRODUCTION 1 II. FILM MEETS CRANE'S ART 14 III.

Hunter, and Elisa Pezzotta Ten years ago those immersed in researching the life and work of Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) were gifted a unique opportunity for fresh insights into his films and production methods. In March 2007 the Kubrick Estate – supervised by his executive producer and brother-in-law, Jan Harlan – donated the director’s vast archive to the University of Arts London and instigated a new wave of scholarly study into the director. The Stanley Kubrick Archive comprises the accumulated material at Childwickbury, the Kubrick family home near St Albans, from which he largely worked and where he maintained a comprehensive record of his films’ production and marketing, collated and stored in boxes. The catalogue introduction online testifies to the sheer size of the Archive, which is stored on over 800 linear metres of shelving:1 The Archive includes draft and completed scripts, research materials such as books, magazines and location photographs.

He was 89. His wife, Irene Ramp, said his death, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, was caused by a heart attack. John Belushi, left, and Mr. Henry in the 1978 “Saturday Night Live” sketch “Samurai Optometrist.” Fred Hermansky/NBCUniversal via Getty Images As a personality and a performer, Mr. Henry had a mild and unassuming aspect that was usually in contrast with the pungently satirical or broadly slapstick material he appeared in — and often wrote. Others in the room always seemed to make more noise. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/09/movies/buck-henry-dead.html 1/6 1/11/2020 Buck Henry, Who Helped Create ‘Get Smart’ and Adapt ‘The Graduate,’ Dies at 89 - The New York Times Indeed, for almost 50 years he was a Zelig-like figure in American comedy, a ubiquitous if underrecognized presence not only in grand successes but also in grand failures.

  • Erysichthon Goes to Town
    Erysichthon Goes to Town James Lasdun’s Modern American Re-telling of Ovid Pippa J. Ström A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Classical Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2010 ERYSICHTHON GOES TO TOWN by Pippa J. Ström ©2010 ABSTRACT The Erysichthon of Ovid’s Metamorphoses is given, in James Lasdun’s re-telling of the story, a repeat performance of chopping down a sacred tree, receiving the punishment of insatiable hunger, selling his daughter, and eating himself. Transgressive greed, impiety, and environmental destruction are elements appearing already amongst the Greek sources of this ancient myth, but Lasdun adds new weight to the environmental issues he brings out of the story, turning Erysichthon into a corrupt property developer. The modern American setting of “Erisychthon” lets the poem’s themes roam a long distance down the roads of self- improvement, consumption, and future-centredness, which contrast with Greek ideas about moderation, and perfection being located in the past. These themes lead us to the eternally unfulfilled American Dream. Backing up our ideas with other sources from or about America, we discover how well the Erysichthon myth fits some of the prevailing approaches to living in America, which seem to have stemmed from the idea that making the journey there would lead to a better life. We encounter not only the relationship between Ovid and Lasdun’s versions of the story, but between the earth and its human inhabitants, and find that some attitudes can be traced back a long way.

    PATHS OF GLORY (Senderos de gloria) Direcció: Stanley Kubrick Guió: S. Kubrick, Calder Willingham, Jim Thompson (novel·la de Humphrey Cobb) Fotografia: Georg Krause Muntatge: Eva Kroll Música: Gerald Fried Intèrprets: Kirk Douglas, George MacReady, Adolphe Menjou, Ralph Meeker, Wayne Morris, Joe Turkel, Richard Anderson, Timothy Carey, Susanne Christian Nacionalitat: Estats Units Idioma: anglès Any: 1957 Durada: 87 minuts Classificació: apta per a tots els públics L'argument: Primera Guerra Mundial. En el front francès, el general Mireau ordena al coronel Dax conquerir una inexpugnable posició alemanya. L’inevitable fracàs irrita l’alt comandament militar, que decideix imposar un càstig exemplar. L'equip artístic i tècnic Stanley Kubrick (Nova York, 1928–Hertfordshire, Londres, 1999) és un dels directors més importants i alhora coneguts de la història del cinema. La seva filmografia no és extensa, 13 llargmetratges, però va tocar -i revolu- cionar- la majoria dels gèneres. A les primerenques Atraco perfecto (1956) i Senderos de gloria (1957), demos- trà un prodigiós domini de la tècnica per un director tant jove. Espartaco (1960), el va apropar fugaçment a la indústria de Hollywood, cosa que Kubrick, obsessiu en el control del seu treball, sempre va defugir. Va causar gran polèmica amb l’adaptació de Lolita (1962), de Nabokov. Amb 2001: una odisea del espacio (1968) va cap- girar el gènere de la ciència-ficció i encara va anar més enllà amb La naranja mecànica (1971). Va provar el ci- nema històric a Barry Lyndon (1975) i el de terror a El resplandor (1980). Perfeccionista i ambiciós, Kubrick pen- sava que qualsevol cosa que es pot escriure o imaginar pot ser filmada.

    PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS BY G. Scott Campbell Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ______________________________ Chairperson Committee members* _____________________________* _____________________________* _____________________________* _____________________________* Date defended ___________________ The Dissertation Committee for G. Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West.
