And what Zanuck and Johnson muted in the screenplay, Ford and cinematographer Gregg Toland compensate for with searingly eloquent imagery."

Massood Marc Dolan THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK iii ABSTRACT Manifest Density: Decentering the Global Western Film by Michael D. Phillips Advisor: Jerry W. Carlson The Western is often seen as a uniquely American narrative form, one so deeply ingrained as to constitute a national myth. This perception persists despite its inherent shortcomings, among them its inapplicability to the many instances of filmmakers outside the United States appropriating the genre and thus undercutting this view of generic exceptionalism.

  • Pioneer Film Director Honored / HENRY KING
    The Museum of Modern Art 'iWest 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modemart NO. 57 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PIONEER FILM DIRECTOR HONORED SEVEN WEEK RETROSPECTIVE FOR HENRY KING CO-SPONSORED BY MUSEUM AND DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA "...the most underpublicized filmmaker in Hollywood. This tall, lean, handsome, urbane, but unflamboyant model of a corporation president makes film hits so easily, so efficiently, and so calmly that he is not news in a community of blaring trumpets, crashing cymbals and screaming egos." -Frank Capra Henry King, one of the founding fathers of American film, who began his career early in the century, remains today one of the legendary figures in Hollywood, and though he preserves his privacy, his films such as "The Song of Bernadette," "Twelve O'clock High" and "The Gunfighter" speak for themselves, and these and other major works will be part of a seven week retrospective given in King's honor by New York's Museum of Modern Art in association with the Directors Guild of America. The Virginia-born director, who has specialized, like D.W. Griffith and John Ford, in Americana themes since his first classic, "Tol'able David," and later with "State Fair", "In Old Chicago," "Jesse James" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band," will make a trip from the West Coast to New York to participate in the opening of this program. On June 29 and 30, he will address the Museum audiences, although he seldom makes public appearances. While he contributed to Hollywood's worldwide reputation, King, who recognized such early superstars as Richard Barthelmess, Ronald Colman and Gary Cooper and gave them their first leading roles on the screen, has managed to retain his relative anonymity in an ostentatious environment.

  • Columbus Public Library, Columbus, Nebraska
    “Librarian’s Shelf” by Melodee Pedersen Joint program coming, “The Grapes of Wrath” The last of the pre-Chautauqua events sponsored by the Friends of the Columbus Public Library will take place on Sunday, May 23rd at 2:00 p.m at the Platte County Historical Society Museum. The film "The Grapes of Wrath", starring Henry Fonda and John Carradine will be shown and then discussed, moderated by University of Nebraska-Kearney Professor Kathryn Benzel. This black and white film is based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by John Steinbeck, published in 1939. Based on real events in the latter part of the 1930s, it chronicles the lives of the Joad family as they struggle on their Oklahoma farm during the Dust Bowl, their journey to California in search of a better life, and their disillusionment after they arrive and discover how migrant laborers were being exploited. President Roosevelt said after he read the book, "There are 500,000 Americans that live in the covers of that book." It was made almost immediately into a movie, released in 1940. Directed by the iconic John Ford, the film received 7 Oscar nominations, including Henry Fonda for Best Actor, and won for Best Director and Best Actress (Jane Darwell). The American Film Institute lists it at number 21 on the list of 100 greatest American films. Although John Ford’s production stays largely true to the novel, there is a more optimistic feel to the film, in part because of toning down John Steinbeck’s political references, and also due to more emphasis on Ma Joad’s forward-looking, practical way of dealing with their circumstances.
