  • Performing Resistance: Myrna Loy, Joan Crawford, and Barbara Stanwyck in Postwar Cinema
    Performing Resistance: Myrna Loy, Joan Crawford, and Barbara Stanwyck in Postwar Cinema Asher Benjamin Guthertz Film and Digital Media March 23, 2018 Thesis Advisor: Dr. Shelley Stamp This thesis has been completed according to the Film and Digital Media department's standards for undergraduate theses. It is submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Film and Digital Media. Introduction: Performing Resistance In the sunny California town of Santa Lisa, amidst a round of applause, veteran Frank Enley (Van Heflin) hands his toddler to his wife and struts onto a makeshift stage. In front of a crowd gathered to celebrate the opening of a new housing complex, he declares: “It was you fellas, you and your families, that really put this thing over. You stuck together and you fought for what you wanted, and if I gave you any help at all, well believe me, I am very happy.” His wife, holding their young son, beams. Frank musters all the spirit of war time camaraderie, and expresses that American belief that with hard work and a communal effort, anything is possible. But as Act of Violence (1949) unfolds, Frank’s opening speech becomes sickeningly hypocritical. A former army comrade sets out to murder Frank, and halfway through the film, Frank tells his wife Edith (Janet Leigh) why. The revelation takes place on an outdoors stairway at night. The railing and fences draw deep angular shadows on the white walls, and the canted angles sharpen the lines of the stairs and floor. A sense of enclosure looms; Frank mutters that he betrayed his troop.

  • Appendix 1: Selected Films
    Appendix 1: Selected Films The very random selection of films in this appendix may appear to be arbitrary, but it is an attempt to suggest, from a varied collection of titles not otherwise fully covered in this volume, that approaches to the treatment of sex in the cinema can represent a broad church indeed. Not all the films listed below are accomplished – and some are frankly maladroit – but they all have areas of interest in the ways in which they utilise some form of erotic expression. Barbarella (1968, directed by Roger Vadim) This French/Italian adaptation of the witty and transgressive science fiction comic strip embraces its own trash ethos with gusto, and creates an eccentric, utterly arti- ficial world for its foolhardy female astronaut, who Jane Fonda plays as basically a female Candide in space. The film is full of off- kilter sexuality, such as the evil Black Queen played by Anita Pallenberg as a predatory lesbian, while the opening scene features a space- suited figure stripping in zero gravity under the credits to reveal a naked Jane Fonda. Her peekaboo outfits in the film are cleverly designed, but belong firmly to the actress’s pre- feminist persona – although it might be argued that Barbarella herself, rather than being the sexual plaything for men one might imagine, in fact uses men to grant herself sexual gratification. The Blood Rose/La Rose Écorchée (aka Ravaged, 1970, directed by Claude Mulot) The delirious The Blood Rose was trumpeted as ‘The First Sex Horror Film Ever Made’. In its uncut European version, Claude Mulot’s film begins very much like an arthouse movie of the kind made by such directors as Alain Resnais: unortho- dox editing and tricks with time and the film’s chronology are used to destabilise the viewer.

  • Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release June 1990 Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965 July 1 - September 11, 1990 This summer, The Museum of Modern Art pays tribute to Twentieth Century Fox with a retrospective of over ninety films made between 1935 and 1965. Opening on July 1, 1990, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX: 1935-1965 traces three key decades in the history of the studio, celebrating the talents of the artists on both sides of the cameras who shaped this period. The exhibition continues through September 11. Formed in 1915, the Fox Film Corporation merged in 1935 with the much younger Twentieth Century to launch a major new studio. Under the supervision of Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century Fox developed a new house style, emphasizing epic biographies such as John Ford's The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936) and Allan Dwan's Suez (1938) and snappy urban pictures such as Sidney Lanfield's Hake Up and Live (1937) and Roy Del Ruth's Thanks a Million (1935). The studio also featured such fresh screen personalities as Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, and Shirley Temple. From this time on, the studio masterfully anticipated and shaped the tastes of the movie-going public. During World War II, Twentieth Century Fox made its mark with a series of exuberant Technicolor musicals featuring such actresses as Betty Grable and Carmen Miranda. After the war, the studio shifted focus and began to highlight other genres including films noirs such as Edmund Goulding's Nightmare Alley (1947) and Otto Preminger's Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950), wry satirical films such as Joseph L.

Every version belongs to the myth.” Claude Levi-Strauss, The Structural Study of Myth Thinking Gender 17th Annual Graduate Student Research Conference February 2, 2007 UCLA Stulman 2 “Femme/s, Film/s, Noir/e: Revisions” Film noir is a relatively small group of films, which span the years between World War II and the late 1950s. These films share a number of stylistic conventions which include the use of various permutations of stereotypical bad girl/femme fatale and good girl/household nun (Martin 207) type characters. In most of these films, women and their sexuality are considered to be (as Freud believed) “ a dark continent” (Breger 331), symbolically “Other” (Leitch 1283), outside the norm, therefore not ‘normal.’ This phallocentric bias permeates film noir (as well as most film up until that point, and since,) and “reflects the normal status of women within contemporary society” (Harvey 38). However, due to noir’s topsy-turvy nature, where contradictions, nightmares, narrative disconnects, and role reversals abound, “the normal representation of women as the founders of families undergoes an interesting displacement” (38). This displacement came about in society and film noir in part as a reaction to the horrifying effects of World War II on America and the survivors of the Nazi terror.

  • An Additional Aspect of the Wartime Experience
    Chapter 15 Within Us – an Additional Aspect of the Wartime Experience Egyptian-born Moshe Mizrahi, one of the greatest, most creative and produc- tive filmmakers living in Israel, was born in Alexandria, in 1931. He spent his early years as a journalist and film critic in 1950s France, occasionally work- ing as a youth counselor for the Jewish Agency in France and in Tunisia, and later in Israel as a film critic and subtitle translator. By the end of the 1960s, after years of working as an assistant director for the French Tele France pro- duction company, he began writing and directing, constantly moving between France and Israel. His cultural education was deeply affected by French cul- ture. Mizrahi’s works conceal his intentions and ethnic background, and avoid directly touching upon the Holocaust; instead, Mizrahi attempts to create a universally human Holocaust experience, without accentuating the origin of his characters or their whereabouts during the war. Only on a second and third viewing does one detect the director’s hints and ques- tions of identity, Jewry, female status in a patriarchal society, and more than anything – man’s feeling of internal exile, the foreignness of his surrounding and himself. In The Customer of the Off-Season (1970), Mizrahi distances testimony and deals with what he allegedly cannot explore, a matter seemingly out of his historical jurisdiction, on account of his being Mizrahi, stranger to this cor- ner of history. Still, he wishes to tell the story of the Holocaust as it had never been told onscreen: the story of an ex-Gestapo official who has been hiding in Eilat for twenty years.

  • Otto Preminger and the Surface of Cinema Christian Keathley in 100
    Otto Preminger and the Surface of Cinema Christian Keathley In 100 Semesters–a lively, readable memoir of half a century in academics–William Chace describes a challenge he faced early in his teaching career as an English professor at Stanford. No sooner did he become a comfortably skilled college instructor than Chace began to suspect that his lectures on classics by Hemingway, Wharton, Fitzgerald, and the like were “saying no more than what a reasonably attentive and responsive reader could get out of those books unaccompanied by my help. I paused to think: was there anything to understand about The Great Gatsby that needed my guiding hand?” Chace’s response was to trade these (allegedly) “obvious” books for something more opaque–“a subject the ordinary reader would not read easily, or read at all, without help”–and so he began teaching a seminar on Joyce’s Ulysses. While the analogy between teaching literature and teaching film is obvious, Chace’s experience is exactly the opposite of my own. I find it far easier to teach “difficult” works like Vivre sa vie or L’Avventura than it is to teach transparent works like Casablanca or Winchester 73–and I’m talking about formal and aesthetic analysis here, not ideological. With the former films, students come in confused, perplexed, maybe irritated, but always in need of help understanding—help that I am well-equipped to give. But the latter films, so it seems, require no critical explication: they are so obviously what they are, and what they are is obvious. And therein lies the challenge.
