  • 1 Exploring Detective Films in the 1930S and 1940S: Genre, Society and Hollywood
    Notes 1 Exploring Detective Films in the 1930s and 1940s: Genre, Society and Hollywood 1. For a discussion of Hollywood’s predilection for action in narratives, see Elsaesser (1981) and the analysis of this essay in Maltby (1995: 352−4). 2. An important strand of recent criticism of literary detective fiction has emphasised the widening of the genre to incorporate female and non-white protagonists (Munt, 1994; Pepper, 2000; Bertens and D’Haen, 2001; Knight, 2004: 162−94) but, despite Hollywood’s use of Asian detectives in the 1930s and 1940s, these accounts are more relevant to contemporary Hollywood crime films. 3. This was not only the case in B- Movies, however, as Warner’s films, includ- ing headliners, in the early 1930s generally came in at only about an hour and one- quarter due to budgetary restraints and pace was a similar neces- sity. See Miller (1973: 4−5). 4. See Palmer (1991: 124) for an alternative view which argues that ‘the crimi- nal mystery dominates each text to the extent that all the events in the narrative contribute to the enigma and its solution by the hero’. 5. Field (2009: 27−8), for example, takes the second position in order to create a binary opposition between the cerebral British whodunnit and the visceral American suspense thriller. 6. The Republic serials were: Dick Tracyy (1937), Dick Tracy Returns (1938), Dick Tracy’s G- Men (1939) and Dick Tracy vs Crime, Inc. (1941) (Langman and Finn, 1995b: 80). 7. The use of the series’ detectives in spy-hunter films after 1941, however, modifies this relationship by giving them at least an ideological affiliation with the discourses of freedom and democracy that Hollywood deploys in its propagandistic representation of the Allies in general and the United States in particular.

  • A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography
    A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography Volume 7 Audio/Visual Materials Alphabetical Listing Compiled by Timothy J. Johnson Minneapolis High Coffee Press 2018 A Holmes & Doyle Bibliography Vol. 7, Audio/Visual Materials, Alphabetical Listing INTRODUCTION This bibliography is a work in progress. It attempts to update Ronald B. De Waal’s comprehensive bibliography, The Universal Sherlock Holmes, but does not claim to be exhaustive in content. New works are continually discovered and added to this bibliography. Readers and researchers are invited to suggest additional content. This volume contains an alphabetical listing of audio-visual materials. Coverage of this material begins around 1994, the final year covered by De Waal's bibliography, but may not yet be totally up-to-date (given the ongoing nature of this bibliography). It is hoped that other titles will be added at a later date. The first volume in this supplement focuses on monographic and serial titles, arranged alphabetically by author or main entry. The second volume presents the exact same information arranged by subject. The third volume focuses on the periodical literature of Doyle and Holmes, listing individual articles alphabetically. The fourth volume includes "core" or "primary" citations from the periodical literature. The fifth volume includes "passing" or "secondary" references to Doyle or Holmes in the periodical literature. The sixth volume organizes the periodical literature according to De Waal's original categories. As the bibliography expands, additional annotations will be provided in order to give the researcher a better idea on the exact Holmesian or Doylean reference contained in each article. The compiler wishes to thank Peter E.

  • Not a Lot of People Know This – Podcast 7 – Text
    Horse Guards, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2AX HCavMuseum HCavMuseum householdcavalrymuseum The Household Cavalry has, like the rest of the Army, produced a fair number of heroes and rogues, not to mention eccentrics, some of whom I will be talking about next week, but in one regard it holds a record that no other unit in Britain’s armed services can match… A NIGHT AT THE OSCARS In 1901, at the age of fourteen and very tall for his age, Trooper Victor McLaglen enlisted in the 1st Life Guards in order to fight in the Second Boer War. Although he never left England, when his true age was discovered in 1904 he was discharged – but not before he had fought his way to being the Regiment’s Boxing Champion. After a brief but successful career as a professional wrestler and boxer in a Canadian touring circus – including a six-round exhibition bout with the then World Heavyweight Boxing Champion whilst on a tour of the USA – and an even briefer spell as a Canadian policeman, McLaglen started travelling. He went first to Australia, where he worked as a gold prospector, then on to Tahiti, Fiji, Ceylon and India, where he got a job as physical training instructor to the Rajah of Akola, finally ending up in South Africa in 1913. He returned to England the following year, on the outbreak of the First World War, and was commissioned into the 10th Battalion Middlesex Regiment where, despite his duties on the front line, he kept up his skills in the boxing ring. He ended the war as an Assistant Provost Marshal in Baghdad and the Heavyweight Champion of the British Army.

    PROMOTION OF CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD FILM COSTUME IN 1930S AMERICAN FASHION MAGAZINES by LINDSAY DANIELLE REAVES VIRGINIA S. WIMBERLEY, COMMITTEE CHAIR AMANDA J. THOMPSON XIAO TONG WILLIAM F. BOMAR SHIRLEY P. FOSTER A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of General Human Environmental Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2013 Copyright Lindsay Danielle Reaves 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The world of twenty-first-century fashion evolves into new forms at a more rapid pace when compared with clothing developments of the past. Elements of previous fashion trends are constantly recycled into new clothing to appease the public’s cravings. But, to whom does the public look for fashion inspiration? According to the “trickle-down” theory proposed by Simmel (1904) and Sproles (1985), the lower classes turn to the upper classes to find out what styles are in vogue at the moment. Although emulation of upper-class fashions appears to have been happening for some time, it seems fashion inspiration was “kicked into high gear” with the glamorous effects and global outreach of American Hollywood cinema, beginning in the 1930s. When the American film industry boomed in the first half of the twentieth century, actors became the inspiration for fashion as well. The glamour exuding from the Hollywood films produced during the 1930s inspired and influenced the clothing choices of the American public. Well-known costume designers such as Gilbert Adrian, Edith Head, Travis Banton, Howard Greer, Walter Plunkett, and Orry-Kelly designed costumes and personal clothing for many Hollywood leading ladies.
