Despite Arrowsmith being a story on a lone doctor's pursuit against a death plague, it is a social commentary on the state and prospects of medicine in tlle United States in the 1920s depression era. Based on the Novel by Scottish author Archibald Joseph Cronin and directed by .King Vidor The Citadel takes place in England where a young, idealistic Dr. Manson (Robert Donat) becomes disillusioned after practicing in a Welsh mining town.

  • The Nation's Matron: Hattie Jacques and British Post-War Popular Culture
    The Nation’s Matron: Hattie Jacques and British post-war popular culture Estella Tincknell Abstract: Hattie Jacques was a key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, condensing a range of contradictions around power, desire, femininity and class through her performances as a comedienne, primarily in the Carry On series of films between 1958 and 1973. Her recurrent casting as ‘Matron’ in five of the hospital-set films in the series has fixed Jacques within the British popular imagination as an archetypal figure. The contested discourses around nursing and the centrality of the NHS to British post-war politics, culture and identity, are explored here in relation to Jacques’s complex star meanings as a ‘fat woman’, ‘spinster’ and authority figure within British popular comedy broadly and the Carry On films specifically. The article argues that Jacques’s star meanings have contributed to nostalgia for a supposedly more equitable society symbolised by socialised medicine and the feminine authority of the matron. Keywords: Hattie Jacques; Matron; Carry On films; ITMA; Hancock’s Half Hour; Sykes; star persona; post-war British cinema; British popular culture; transgression; carnivalesque; comedy; femininity; nursing; class; spinster. 1 Hattie Jacques (1922 – 1980) was a gifted comedienne and actor who is now largely remembered for her roles as an overweight, strict and often lovelorn ‘battle-axe’ in the British Carry On series of low- budget comedy films between 1958 and 1973. A key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, Hattie Jacques’s star meanings are condensed around the contradictions she articulated between power, desire, femininity and class.

  • PROGRAMME NOTES VICTIM.Eps
    TCM BREAKFAST CLUB SCREENING Victim I 1961 Directed by Basil Dearden The words “daring” and “groundbreaking” are frequently over-blown epithets in the movie business, but in the case of Victim (1961) they are entirely appropriate. For this film helped not just change attitudes towards a taboo subject – homosexuality – but even prompted changes in the law. Its star, Dirk Bogarde, showed enormous courage and integrity in agreeing to play the part of Melville Farr, the barrister who decides to take on a ring of blackmailers extorting men from gay men. TCM writer David Humphrey looks at how the film came to be made in an era when homosexuality was still the love that dared not speak its mind. With typical purposefulness and strength of character, Dirk move by the matinee idol, who would have sensed that public Bogarde thrust his head far above the parapet by taking the opinion was shifting towards a liberalisation of the laws that starring role in Victim. It was after all the first mainstream film forbade same-sex relationships. In real life, Bogarde himself on either side of the Atlantic to so shamelessly feature a gay was homosexual, but never made that public and was hero. In Britain’s prevailing moral climate, appearing in such a notoriously evasive whenever the fact was even hinted at. In his production could have been the kiss of death to the career of an memoirs about the life and death of his partner Tony Forwood, actor until now celebrated chiefly for action hero roles and light for example, he displayed an endearingly old-fashioned romantic parts in forgettable productions like Doctor in the House scrupulousness by portraying their relationship as actor and and Doctor at Sea.

  • Brian Jones Rakaia Deck Apprentice
    RAKAIA DECK APPRENTICE BY BEN JONES Jim Thompson, Ian Rankin and I joined the “Rakaia” in London. All the cadets had gone on leave with exception of Roger Blood, an Australian, who having taken his leave at home during the voyage was left on board all alone until we arrived. It was by now April 1953 and with three months of dock staffing behind us we were pretty useful around the ships. Brian J C Jones and James Thompson on board Rakaia Royal Albert Dock – April 1953. On finishing unloading we set off down to Falmouth for another dry- docking. Falmouth is a grand place, down in southern Cornwall a very old town with lots of interesting pubs and a very picturesque inner harbour. There is one tale I should relate regarding the trials of living on a ship in dry- dock. This was before the days of holding tanks for ship generated sewage. It just went straight over the side. While in dry dock the toilets and bathrooms were closed to save the painters and other bods working in the dock below from meeting a fate worse than death, we therefore had to traipse ashore to an ablution block. Now this all right during summer in sunny Falmouth but becomes a bit tedious in winter in some grotty northern port like Liverpool. Sunday mornings were the worst; guys would take the Sunday papers in and read away merrily. The problem in Falmouth was that each ship was allotted only a three-seater. This was a pretty crude arrangement with three partitioned spaces serviced by a large pipe underneath with one common flushing cistern in the first cubicle.
