The commonly held belief after Scotch Reels intervention is that early cinema treated Scotland as a fantasy realm mixing either Kailyard or Tartanry (McArthur, 1982). Scotland was presented as being like that through the works and the global reach of writers such as Walter Scott and J. M. Barrie. The eighteenth and nineteenth century writers and novelists packaged and presented Scotland for the world and to the world in accordance with Hall’s (1994, p. 402) concept of the imagined past, not the factual past.

  • An Alternative Comedy History – Interrogating Transnational Aspects of Humour in British and Hungarian Comedies of the Inter-War Years
    An Alternative Comedy History – Interrogating Transnational Aspects of Humour in British and Hungarian Comedies of the Inter-War Years Anna Martonfi Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies Submitted May 2017 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Anna Martonfi, University of East Anglia, 2017 Supervisors: Dr Brett Mills and Dr Melanie Williams This thesis is a historical research into British comedy traditions made during an era when numerous creative personnel of Jewish backgrounds emigrated from Central and Eastern European countries to Britain. The objective is to offer an alternative reading to British comedy being deeply rooted in music hall traditions, and to find what impact Eastern European Jewish theatrical comedy traditions, specifically urban Hungarian Jewish theatrical comedy tradition ‘pesti kabaré’, may have had on British comedy. A comparative analysis is conducted on Hungarian and British comedies made during the inter-war era, using the framework of a multi-auteurist approach based on meme theory and utilising certain analytical tools borrowed from genre theory. The two British films chosen for analysis are The Ghost Goes West (1935), and Trouble Brewing (1939), whereas the two Hungarian films are Hyppolit, the Butler (1931), and Skirts and Trousers (1943). The purpose of this research within the devised framework is to point out the relevant memes that might refer to the cultural transferability of Jewish theatrical comedy traditions in the body of films that undergo analysis.

  • Robert Donat, Film Acting and the 39 Steps (1935) Victoria Lowe, University of Manchester, UK
    'Performing Hitchcock': Robert Donat, Film Acting and The 39 Steps (1935) Victoria Lowe, University of Manchester, UK This article offers a speculative exploration of performance in a Hitchcock film by looking in detail at Robert Donat's characterisation of Richard Hannay in The 39 Steps (1935). It has been argued that Hitchcock's preference for the actor who can do nothing well leads to a de- emphasising of the acting skill of his cast whilst foregrounding the technical elements such as editing and mise-en-scène in the construction of emotional effects (Ryall, 1996:159). Hitchcock's own attitude to actors is thought to be indicated by his oft-quoted claim that "actors should be treated like cattle." [1] However, this image of Hitchcock as a director unconcerned with the work of his actors seems to be contradicted both by the range of thoughtful and complex performances to be found in his films and by the testimonies of the actors themselves with regard to working with him. [2] In this article therefore, I will attempt to unpick some of the issues regarding performance in Hitchcock films through a detailed case study of Robert Donat and his performance in The 39 Steps. Initially, I will look at the development of Donat's star persona in the early 1930s and how during the making of The 39 Steps, writing about Donat in the press began to articulate performance as opposed to star discourses. I will then look at some of Donat's published and unpublished writing to determine the screen acting methodologies he was beginning to develop at the time.

  • Notes and References
    Notes and References CHAPTER 1 To provide an intellectual and cultural framework for examining Carol Reed's films, a history of the British cinema from its origins through to the Second World War is offered in this chapter. Although Reed began directing in 1935, 1939 seemed a tidier, more logical cut-off point for the survey. All the information in the chapter is synthesized from several excellent works on the subject: Roy Armes's A Critical History of the British Cinema, Ernest Betts' The Film Business, Ivan Butler's Cinema in Britain, Denis Gifford's British Film Catalogue, Rachel Low's History of the British Film, and George Perry's The Great British Picture Show.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Antonio Pietrangeli, The Director of Women: Feminism, Film Theory and Practice in Postwar Italy A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Emma Katherine Van Ness 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Antonio Pietrangeli, The Director of Women: Feminism, Film Theory and Practice in Postwar Italy by Emma Katherine Van Ness Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Thomas J. Harrison, Chair This study will examine the work of Antonio Pietrangeli both as film theorist and as director. Critics have long considered Pietrangeli an anomaly, difficult to place into genres, since his cinema focused primarily on female protagonists. This dissertation will investigate the idea of Pietrangeli as a feminist practitioner, tying his early writings on film from the late Forties as well as his later film production from the Fifties and Sixties to feminist and film theory. While some of this theory was contemporary to Pietrangeli, what this study will show is that he was anticipating later developments in critical, feminist, and structuralist theory, in particular apparatus theory and psychoanalytic theory in film studies. Since Pietrangeli has a history of being marginalized, misunderstood, and ignored in Italian film studies, this dissertation seeks to remedy that omission by bringing his work into dialogue with other established film critics and auteurs in order to show that his unique voice, both in theory and in praxis, deserves scholarly attention and consideration. ii Claudio Fogu Lucia Re Edward F.

  • 1 What Did It Mean? 1954
    WHAT DID IT MEAN? 1954 7. Great Jumping Jehoshophat : favourite expression of Jo March in Little Women . Jehoshophat was King of Judah from 872 BC. No mention in the Bible of him jumping. doesn’t know B from a bull’s foot : an expression meaning to be ignorant or illiterate – possibly because the letter B looks a bit like a bull’s foot. Kamerad : = Comrade. Used by the Germans in World War I. Equivalent in English is “I surrender”. Often used in the novels though I think its use had largely died out by WWII. Assist in the French sense : again, often used by AT. “Assister” in French = “to be present at”. Audit Ale : An audit ale is a special brew originally served at English colleges when examination results were announced following oral examinations (and also by landlords when rents were due), in order to soften the occasional hard feelings that such occasions fostered The English might merit a plaudit For inventing the ale they call audit . This beer was ingested When students were tested; Both winners and losers would laud it. (Tim Alborn, OEDILF, The Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick www.oedilf.com .) 8. Washington’s, Corbett’s, Holman’s : George Washington, Holman Hunt, perhaps, but why? What connects them to fertiliser? Gampish : Mrs Gamp in Dickens’s Martin Chuzzlewit was a midwife, given to making such calculations. 9. Parish Councils lay down with Town Councils : Isaiah 11.6. .. nor were the Mothers’ Unions unheard: I think this is just Biblical phraseology rather than an actual allusion. Mystery play : Mediaeval plays performed by members of a guild or mystery on a sacred theme.

  • Working Title Films and Transatlantic British Cinema Nathaniel
    Working Title Films and Transatlantic British Cinema Nathaniel Townsend PhD University of York Theatre, Film and Television September 2014 2 Abstract This thesis presents a business history of the London-based film production company, Working Title Films. The focus is on the creative and business structures and processes through which Working Title has operated and, in turn, the individual and collective agency of the key players responsible for developing and maintaining these institutional determinants. The same set of research questions are applied to the principal filmmaking institutions with which Working Title has collaborated, and, more particularly, examines how Working Title has negotiated creative and business relationships with various larger film businesses. By taking a chronological approach to Working Title’s evolution, a detailed account of the company’s years as an independent production company (1984-1990), a subsidiary of PolyGram Filmed Entertainment (1990-1998) and a subsidiary of Universal Pictures (1998-present) is provided. The thesis also offers a historical and conceptual framework through which the business history of Working Title is analysed. In the first instance, this involves a reconsideration of the relationship between the film industries and cultures of Britain and Hollywood which combines the discourses of national cinema with more recent scholarship about transnational cinema. This conceptual reinterpretation is subsequently applied to three indicative business histories from the 1930s and 1940s: London Films, MGM-British and the Rank Organisation — and then to Working Title itself. The central concept of the thesis — ‘Transatlantic British Cinema’ — describes a type of cultural production that challenges orthodox accounts of British cinema as national cinema and indicates the ways in which representations of Britain and ‘Britishness’ function within transnational film culture.
