Cowboys and Indians by Basil Johnston
Paradigms, Perspectives and Portrayals Reading Selection: Intermediate Level Cowboys and Indians By Basil Johnston Hollywood grew fast and big. By the 1930s there were many studios employing many actors in the production of many motion pictures. Within the same few years as the studios got bigger, techniques improved; as techniques improved so did the quality of acting; and as acting got better, so did the range and variety of themes enlarge. And of course viewers’ tastes became more refined and discriminating, requiring of Hollywood and the studios more authenticity and less artificiality in their productions. And the studios were willing to oblige. It was decided by the producer and director of a major studio planning a western picture with either Hoot Gibson, Tom Mix, or Ken Maynard as the principal star, to hire real Indians to take part in the production. With real Indians the advantages were obvious. Besides lending authenticity to the motion picture, Indians represented a substantial saving. Their natural pigmentation would reduce expenses in cosmetics and makeup artistics; their natural horsemanship would save time and expenses usually incurred in training greenhorns to ride; their possession of herds of ponies would save time and outlay in the rental and feeding of horses; and their natural talent for art would obviate the need for anthropologists to act as consultants in authenticating Indian art and design. The only expense to be incurred was the fee of $2.00 per day for movie extras. Management calculated that 500 Indians along with 500 horses were needed for no more than two days to shoot an attack upon a wagon-train. -

Representing History
Representing History The Pianist To Kill A King Why use film? History is currently `in vogue’ with the media. Documentaries cover the five terrestrial channels, historical non-fiction tops the best selling charts and Simon Schama, Michael Wood and David Starkey are now superstar presenters. Time Team and Restoration positively encourage us to take a `hands on’ approach – we can now affect what happens to our heritage directly. Historical films are also as popular as ever, with Pirates of the Caribbean currently topping the UK Box Office (although historians may argue exactly which historical period it is from!) and there are still many costume drama classics that draw in audiences across the world. Films that attempt to show history are sometimes derided by historians and critics for their lack of accuracy and sometimes hilariously bad casting - John Wayne as Genghis Khan anyone? However, if we view historical films as documents to begin an investigation, and if we look at how the film itself works, as well as examining how it purports to tell us about the past, the result can be a rewarding and enjoyable journey. A film can capture a feeling for a time; can create a mood and a picture of the past that perhaps, with further historical research and examination of the other contemporary art forms (drama, literature, painting, music etc.) can make that world come to life. © Film Education 2003 1 Curriculum Links The case study films below have been chosen both for their specific links to historical topics but also because of their filmic interest, either as a new take on a particular subject or an innovative way of telling a story. -

Bucking Boradway
Bucking Broadway: A Rediscovered Treasure Archived under the wrong name by a collector in 1970, the film had rested in an archive storage cell for almost 30 years when it was finally identified as one of John Ford’s lost films. Harry Carey acted in this Western love story which has now been digitally restored. It was a major hit back in its day, because of the furious horse ride through the streets of New York and because of the big fight at the end. « Bucking Broadway: A Rediscovered Treasure », A Journey of Discovery AFF – CNC on www.cnc-aff.fr page 1/12 Rediscovery Each year, around 1,000 films are deposited with the French film archives at the CNC. One of the CNC’s missions is to catalogue these films. During the cataloguing process, workers note the information listed on the film box labels and in the credits at the beginning of the film, if any. For silent films, the first title cards sometimes provide some information, but that is rare. Boxes to be catalogued This initial information is not always correct: a film may be kept in the wrong box or, as was often the case for silent films shown at carnivals, the name of the film may have been changed in order to make it more appealing and a better sell. The Catalogue The films are then reconsidered during a more in-depth cataloguing process, and that is when surprises can occur! That is how, 30 years after they were deposited by a collector, four reels of a film called Drame au Far West ended up being studied by an Archives librarian specialized in John Ford films. -
Lillian Gish
Lillian Gish Lived: October 14, 1893 - February 27, 1993 Worked as: director, film actress, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Mark Garrett Cooper In 1920, Lillian Gish both delivered a landmark performance in D.W. Griffith’s Way Down East and directed her sister Dorothy in Remodelling Her Husband. This was her sole director credit in a career as a screen actor that began with An Unseen Enemy in 1912 and ended with The Whales of August in 1987. Personal correspondence examined by biographer Charles Affron shows that Gish lobbied Griffith for the opportunity to direct and approached the task with enthusiasm. In 1920, in Motion Picture Magazine, however, Gish offered the following assessment of her experience: “There are people born to rule and there are people born to be subservient. I am of the latter order. I just love to be subservient, to be told what to do” (102). One might imagine that she discovered a merely personal kink. In a Photoplay interview that same year, however, she extended her opinion to encompass all women and in doing so slighted Lois Weber, one of Hollywood’s most productive directors. “I am not strong enough” to direct, Gish told Photoplay, “I doubt if any woman is. I understand now why Lois Weber was always ill after a picture” (29). What should historical criticism do with such evidence? By far the most common approach has been to argue that Gish did not really mean what the press quotes her as saying. Alley Acker, for instance, urges us not to be fooled by Gish’s “Victorian modesty” and goes on to provide evidence of her authority on the set (62). -
