    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE THE PREPARATION OF THE ROLE OF TOM MOODY IN CLIFFORD ODETS' GOLDEN BOY An essay submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Theatre by Robert T. Hollander June, 1981 The Essay of Robert T. Hollander is approved: Prof. c(§!g Nieuwenhuysel Dr. Georg~ Gunkle, Committee Chairman California State University, Northridge ii ABSTRACT THE PREPARATION OF THE ROLE OF TOM MOODY IN CLIFFORD ODETS' GOLDEN BOY by Robert T. Hollander Master of Arts in Theatre Golden Boy was first produced by the Group Theatre in New York in 1937. Directed by Harold Clurman, this 1937 production included in its cast names that were to become notable in the American theatre: Luther Adler, Frances Farmer, Lee J. Cobb, Jules (John) Garfield, Morris Carnovsky, Elia Kazan, Howard Da Silva and Karl Malden. Golden Boy quickly became the most successful production 1 in Group Theatre history and was followed in 1939 by the movie of the same name, starring William Holden and Barbara Stanwyck. Since then, there have been countless revivals, including a musical adaptation in 1964 which starred Sammy Davis Jr. Golden Boy certainly merits consideration as one of the classics of modern American drama. 1Harold Clurman, The Fervent Years: The Story of the Group Theatre and the Thirties. (New York: Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich. A Harvest Book, 1975), p. 211. 1 2 The decision to prepare the character of Torn Moody as a thesis project under the direction of Dr. George Gunkle was made during the spring semester of 1980 at which time I was performing a major role in The Knight of the Burning Pestle, a seventeenth century farce written by Beaumont and Fletcher.

  • Leisen, Mitchell (1898-1972) by Craig Kaczorowski
    Leisen, Mitchell (1898-1972) by Craig Kaczorowski Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2010 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Mitchell Leisen was a noted director during Hollywood's Golden Age. He is credited with more than 40 feature films, which are celebrated for their stylishness and visual elegance. He excelled at witty, romantic comedies that are often tinged with a touch of melancholy, such as the classic "screwball" comedy Easy Living (1937) and the clever, cosmopolitan farce Midnight (1939). Leisen has also been hailed for his "gender role-reversal" films, where the male lead is cast as the sex object and the female lead as the aggressor. Not surprising for a bisexual director working in Hollywood, Leisen's other thematic obsessions included mistaken identity, role-playing, and deception. Leisen returned to the same performers film after film, developing strong working partnerships. Although he was instrumental in shaping the careers of such actors as Fred MacMurray and Ray Milland, Leisen became typed as a "woman's director" for the fastidious, detailed attention he paid to the costuming and art direction of his productions, as well as for the nuanced, spontaneous performances he coaxed from such actresses as Carole Lombard, Claudette Colbert, and Olivia de Havilland. Among many film historians, Leisen's artistic reputation has been tarnished somewhat by the stormy relationships he became embroiled in with some of his screenwriters, most notably Preston Sturges and Billy Wilder. After working on several films with Leisen, both writers demanded to be allowed to direct their own scripts, in part because they objected to the sophisticated veneer of Leisen's directorial style and to the changes he frequently made to their screenplays.

  • Greatest Year with 476 Films Released, and Many of Them Classics, 1939 Is Often Considered the Pinnacle of Hollywood Filmmaking
    The Greatest Year With 476 films released, and many of them classics, 1939 is often considered the pinnacle of Hollywood filmmaking. To celebrate that year’s 75th anniversary, we look back at directors creating some of the high points—from Mounument Valley to Kansas. OVER THE RAINBOW: (opposite) Victor Fleming (holding Toto), Judy Garland and producer Mervyn LeRoy on The Wizard of Oz Munchkinland set on the MGM lot.

  • Hollywood and American Politics: the Play's the Thing
    Review Essay Hollywood and American Politics: The Play's the Thing Sam B. Girgus RONALD REAGAN IN HOLLYWOOD: Movies and Politics. By Stephen Vaughn. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 1994. November 1948 marked the beginning of Ronald Reagan's winter of discontent. He was in London to make a movie with Patricia Neal and Richard Todd, but he could not anticipate this overseas assignment with enthusiasm and hope. He was, in fact, in the depths of personal and professional despair. Cast as the second male lead in this movie, The Hasty Heart, he faced a dubious future as an actor who could neither reach nor sustain the pinnacle of Hollywood stardom that he sought. Equally devastating to him was the condition of his marriage to Jane Wyman. The marriage, which had been publicized as so successful that it could serve as a model for moviegoers, in reality meant a great deal to Reagan, providing him with a sense of well-being and happiness. However, it was at this point doomed, a victim of the reverse directions of Reagan's and Wyman's careers as she moved toward ever greater financial and professional ascendancy. As Stephen Vaughn writes in this important and impressive study of the melding of politics and personality, Patricia Neal, the female star of The Hasty Heart, "remembered him in tears at a New Year's Eve party. 'It was sad,' she said, 'because he did not want a divorce.'" (229) He tried in London to come to terms with what he called his " 'lonely inner world. ' " (229) 0026-3079/93/3601-115$1.50/0 115 To later critics of Reagan' s politics and influence, it might come as a surprise that he had any "inner world" at all.
