SELZNICK /x/HAT price personality? That question is everlastingly applied in the evaluation of the prime fac- tors in the making of motion pictures. It is applied to the star, the producer, the director, the writer and the other human ingredients that combine in the production of a motion picture. • And for all alike there is a common denominator—the boxoffice. • It has often been stated that each per- sonality is as good as his or her last picture. But it is unfair to make an evaluation on such a basis. The average for a season, based on intakes at the boxoffices throughout the land, is the more reliable measuring stick. • To render a service heretofore lacking, the publishers of BOXOFFICE have surveyed the field of the motion picture theatre and herein present BOXOFFICE RECORDS that tell their own important story.

INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. -

Monterey in the Movies
Monterey In The Movies Monterey In The Movies A fairly comprehensive guide to 188 motion pictures filmed in and around the Monterey Peninsula. By James B. Toy Revised August 2018 Monterey In The Movies This document is a handy, printable version of the Monterey In The Movies section of my website The Monterey Peninsula Toy Box at www.montereypeninsula.info. Please visit the website for the latest version, which will be updated from time to time as new information becomes available. Contents: Introduction.....................................................1 Movie listing by title.......................................2 Movie listing by year.......................................5 Detailed film list..............................................8 Appendix Films removed from the original list..............96 To Eternity but not From Here........................97 Technical Notes..............................................99 Monterey In The Movies Introduction Since the very earliest days of motion pictures, the Monterey Peninsula, along with much of Monterey County, has been a popular place for location shooting. More than 180 movies have been shot, at least in part, in this area. Some films may contain just a few seconds of footage, while others use the area for the entire feature. Aside from the obvious amusement factor, these films offer rare glimpses into the past of our community. The core list of films provided here was originally compiled in the 1980s by Joe Graziano of the Monterey County Herald, who wrote the Professor Toro column for many years. With help from his "Constant Readers" he was able to track down this vital information. We are most grateful for his efforts. I have added to the list movies made since that time. I have also removed four movies from the list after watching them and realizing that they were not actually filmed here. -
Movies in 1939 by Richard Von Busack
Movies in 1939 By Richard von Busack One hears it everywhere—1939, the greatest year in the Amer- ican cinema. The Depression still lingered; the war was yet to begin. There was political strife and class struggle everywhere, which explains the skepticism, the questioning of motives and of extremes in 1939 films—a dislike of easy answers visible, or at least glimpsable, in everything from urban exposés to musicals to screwball comedies. In his fine biography of Marlene Dietrich, Stephen Bach writes: “Why 1939 happened that way has been the subject of countless articles and even books, but it was less a watershed year (things would never be so good again) than a culmination of everything that had been learned since Al Jolson burst into song. All the elements of a popular art coalesced at a moment of maturity—sharp and fresh, without cynicism or contempt for the audience (which explains many things.)” The truth is that 1940 was almost as good as 1939. 1925, 1926 and 1974 were all vintage years; as for 2019, we’ll need a measure of time to figure out whether we have everything before us or nothing before us. In 1939, 80 million tickets were sold to some 365 American films, by the count of the Los Angeles Times’ Jack Mathews, one of the first to celebrate this golden year. The screens were still being filled by block booking—the practice of the seven major studios (Paramount, Universal, MGM, Twentieth Century-Fox, Warner Brothers, Columbia and RKO), all ensuring they had a place for the films they were releasing sight unseen. -
"Another Chance for a Swell Scene": the Filmscripts of Darryl Zanuck
"Another Chance for a Swell Scene": The Filmscripts of Darryl Zanuck Darryl Zanuck was a working tycoon. He not only ruled over a prosperous film studio, he was actively involved in the production of each picture, from the conception to the final cutting. He was a prolific writer and a brilliant editor. Shortly after Zanuck' s death in 1979, the Lilly Library acquired a collection of his personal copies of scripts for several movies that he produced. Many of the film scripts were his working copies and are marked with extensive handwritten revisions and annotations. These scripts are evidence of the level of Zanuck' s involvement with each film. As a young man, Zanuck wanted to be involved in some form of the arts. He began writing sensational stories and submitting them to the pulp magazines. After numerous rejections, he sold his first story, "Mad Desire," to Physical Culture magazine. He sold a few more stories, one of which was adapted for the screen by Fox Films. He began selling other stories to studios and soon he was working as a gag writer, then a script writer. In 1924, at the age of 26, Zanuck wrote the first Rin Tin Tin screenplay for Warner Brothers. He stayed with the Warners until 1933, turning out a huge volume of screenplays every year. He adopted three pseudonyms to share the screen credits: Melville Crossman, Mark Canfield, and Gregory Rogers. Each of the "authors" worked in a distinctive genre and style. The films written under the Crossman name were quite successful and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer tried to hire the elusive Crossman (but not Zanuck) away from Warner Brothers. -
