Reprinted for Kristen Dammers, Sapient [email protected] All rights reserved. Reproduction and/or distribution in whole or in part in electronic,paper or other forms without written permission is prohibited. When Cultures Collide: Leading Across Cultures, Third Edition Chapter 13: Britain Overview For decades the British film industry, enriched by the talents of such actors as Alec Guinness, Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson, Alastair Sim, George Cole and Charles Laughton, has put the typical Englishman on the screen for the world to see. The BBC, in such admirable programs as Upstairs, Downstairs and Yes, Minister, has reinforced the image. The Englishman dresses in tweeds or a three-piece pin-striped suit and a Burberry raincoat on rainy days. He wears a bowler hat, carries a tightly furled, black umbrella with a cane handle and has a pink newspaper tucked under his left armpit. He goes to church on Sunday mornings and eats roast beef with Yorkshire pudding for Sunday lunch. He is a man of principle, insists on fair play for underdogs, does things in a proper manner and shows more affection for horses, cats and dogs than for children, foxes and grouse. He probably went to Eton and Oxford (Cambridge?) and frequents Ascot, Wimbledon, Twickenham, Lord's and Wentworth. He believes in the Monarchy, the Empire and the Conservative Party. When not in his Club (no ladies allowed), he sits in the local pub with gardeners and game wardens, with whom he sips warm beer called real ale.

  • An Impossible Task? Scripting the Chilian Club
    Chapter 5 An Impossible Task? Scripting The Chilian Club Andrew Spicer Introduction This chapter will explore the multifarious drafting and redrafting of scripts and full screenplays for a film based on George Shipway’s controversial political satire The Chilian Club (1971), the story of a quartet of elderly assassins – former army officers – who believe they are saving their country from Communist subversion. Although The Chilian Club was never produced, ten complete adaptations were written involving four different hands – writer- directors Peter Collinson and Mike Hodges, Benny Green, the well- known radio scriptwriter and broadcaster, and Michael Klinger who was to have been the film’s producer – over a six- year period (1972–7). As discussions of screenwriting often emphasize (Rilla 1973: 12–16; Cook and Spicer 2008: 213–16; Maras 2009: 11–15), it is important to establish what is understood to be the object of study. Thus, although there will be a detailed examination of the scripts themselves and the aesthetic difficulties of realizing Shipway’s novel, the chapter will also pay close attention to the fluctuating nature of the collaborations involved and contextual factors that shaped them. This was a period of exceptional volatility and uncertainty in the British film industry, and Klinger, as an independent producer, faced extreme difficulties that had a direct bearing on his attempts to film The Chilian Club. Figure 5.1 The strapline for Klinger News with a typical headline; courtesy of Tony Klinger 72 Andrew Spicer My analysis of the deeper forces at work in attempting to realize The Chilian Club will be based on hitherto unused material in the University of the West of England’s Michael Klinger Papers that shed light on the convoluted relationships between screenwriters, distributors, potential investors, public bodies and large corporations, all pivoting round the figure of Michael Klinger as the producer.

After the new artistic director of the Tricycle Theatre announced that her programming would be very different from her predecessor’s, I was afraid that this would probably mean the end of verbatim theatre in London. But one may never underestimate the Finborough Theatre. Artistic director Neil McPherson presents the world premiere of The Fear of Breathing – Stories from the Syrian Revolution which is based entirely on verbatim reports from inside Syria itself. Journalists Paul Wood of the BBC and Ruth Sherlock of The Daily Telegraph, together with theatre director Zoe Lafferty, travelled into Syria covertly, circumventing the ban on journalists and restrictions on movement for all non-Syrians, to speak to protesters, soldiers who deserted to form the Free Army, activists who act and pray for change, as well as citizens who support President Bashar al-Assad and its ruling Baath Party being terrified of a future without him.

  • 12 the Odd Woman Margaret Rutherford
    12 The odd woman Margaret Rutherford John Stokes Although Margaret Rutherford’s (1892–1972) presence became famil- iar to an enormous public, she remained in her performances the odd woman out: at times ‘difficult’, yet irrepressible; peculiar in dress, man- nerism, speech, yet invariably to the fore. With their predilection for physical detail, at best careless, at worst cruel, all too commonplace at the time, critics liked to make fun of her features: her trembling chins, pursed lips, popping eyes, her mobile eyebrows. She was certainly physi- cally memorable. Her whole body seemed to invite comment, especially when on the move: clasped hands, large strides interspersed with sudden darts, a bustling and, at the same time, purposive gait. Over the years her costumes and props became standardised: umbrella, beads, specta- cles (alternating with lorgnette, monocle, even binoculars), a capacious shawl (or shapeless cape) and, always to top it off, floral hats that seemed to lead a horticultural life of their own. Throughout her career reviewers turned to animal epithets to describe her, but they were strangely mixed: porpoise, dragon, moth. It’s as if the journalists were competing not only among themselves but with the actress herself in their attempts to capture her presence in a single stroke. Rutherford’s origins were unusual. A significant number of the actresses who achieved prominence in the early twentieth century came from a theatrical background – a vocational advantage that had often led to early starts as a child performer. The father of Fay Compton (1894– 1978), for instance, was the actor Edward Compton, and she was acting professionally by 1911; Nina Boucicault (1867–1950) was a member of a long-standing theatrical dynasty; Joyce Carey (1898–1952) was the daugh- ter of the actors Gerald Lawrence and Lilian Braithwaite.
