The Black Tent
The Black Tent (1956) and Bengazi (1955): The Image of Arabs in Two Post-Empire Journeys into the Deserts of Libya Richard Andrew Voeltz [email protected] Cameron University Volume 7.1 (2018) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2018.200 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract These two little known films are both part of the cycle of post-imperial films dealing with the decline of the British Empire. They are perhaps the only films set in or near the historical period of the British Military Administration of Libya after 1945. The Black Tent frequently gets lumped in with the genre of World War II British war films. Bengazi marks the cinematic journey of the actor Victor McLaglen from The Lost Patrol (1934) to Bengazi (1955), his career encapsulating the beginning and end of the Hollywood British Empire film genre. Both films contain redemptive dramatic journeys into the deserts of Libya involving the loss of British imperial male power. The case studies of The Black Tent and Bengazi show the beginnings of new post-empire film genres and new mentalities toward the Arab “Other” that partially promotes a decolonization of western cinema.

The Black Tent (1956) and Bengazi (1955): The Image of Arabs in Two Post-Empire Journeys into the Deserts of Libya Richard Andrew Voeltz The Black Tent (1956, British) and Bengazi (1955, American) are perhaps the only feature films set in the last days of the British Military Administration of Libya from 1945 to 1951. -

A New Level to Pay TV Netflix Integration January 2019 Sky Ultimate on Demand Introduction
Sky Ultimate On Demand A new level to Pay TV Netflix Integration January 2019 Sky Ultimate On Demand Introduction In November 2018 Sky joined the long list of Pay TV operators that offer Netflix to their subscribers. With Movistar also launching at the end of 2018 in Spain, and OSN (Middle East) set for launching in 2019 we may have reached a tipping point with operators approach to Netflix. Operators who have been strong in building their own channels and services are now willing to fully embrace the importance of Netflix to their customers, and the belief that they are not competing for subscribers outweighs any issues over their competition for content and customer revenue. “We want Sky Q to be the number one destination for TV fans. Partnering with Netflix means we will have all the best TV in one great value pack, making it even easier for you to watch all of your favourite shows.” Stephen van Rooyen Chief Executive, Sky UK & Ireland Insight - Sky Ultimate On Demand January 2019 2 Sky Ultimate On Demand Netflix and Pay TV Operators Netflix’s first Pay TV integrations were in 2013 with TiVo boxes offered by Virgin Media (UK) and Com Hem (Sweden). Virgin were the first to add Netflix to their set-top-box in November 2013, and more have followed as Netflix’s market position has grown and operators realised they can work together. Operators have been adding Netflix to their own services to varying degrees, with variations to the user experience, billing, UHD availability and the pricing proposition. -
British Cinema of the 1950S: a Celebration
A Tale of Two Cities and the Cold War robert giddings There was probably never a book by a great humorist, and an artist so prolific in the conception of character, with so little humour and so few rememberable figures. Its merits lie elsewhere. (John Forster, The Life of Charles Dickens (1872)) R T’ A Tale of Two Cities of 1958 occupies a secure if modest place among that bunch of 1950s British releases based on novels by Dickens, including Brian Desmond Hurst’s Scrooge (1951) and Noel Langley’s The Pickwick Papers (1952).1 When all the arguments about successfully filming Dickens are considered it must be conceded that his fiction offers significant qualities that appeal to film-makers: strong and contrasting characters, fascinating plots and frequent confrontations and collisions of personality. In unsuspected ways, Ralph Thomas’s film is indeed one of the best film versions of a Dickens novel and part of this rests upon the fact that, as Dickens’s novels go, A Tale of Two Cities is unusual. Dickens elaborately works up material in this novel which must have been marinating in his imagination. Two themes stand out: the dual personality, the doppelgänger or alter ego; and mob behaviour when public order collapses. Several strands come together. Dickens had voluminously researched the Gordon Riots which were, up to then, the worst public riots in British history.

ROHMER, Sax Pseudoniem Van Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward Geboren: Ladywood District, Birmingham, Warwickshire, Engeland, 15 Februari 1883
ROHMER, Sax Pseudoniem van Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward Geboren: Ladywood district, Birmingham, Warwickshire, Engeland, 15 februari 1883. Overleden: White Plains, New York, USA, 1 juni 1959. Nam op 18-jarige leeftijd de naam Ward aan; gebruikte later de naam Sax Rohmer ook in het persoonlijke leven. Ander pseudoniem: Michael Furey Carrière: bracht als journalist verslag uit van de onderwereld in Londen's Limehouse; schreef liedjes en sketches voor conferenciers; woonde later in New York. Familie: getrouwd met Rose Elizabeth Knox, 1909 (foto: Fantastic Fiction). website voor alle verhalen en informatie: The Page of Fu Manchu: http://www.njedge.net/~knapp/FuFrames.htm Detective: Sir Dennis Nayland Smith Nayland Smith was voormalig hoofd van de CID van Scotland Yard en is nu in dienst van de British Intelligence. Sidekick: Dr. Petrie. Tegenspeler: Doctor Fu-Manchu Op de vraag van Petrie welke pervers genie aan het hoofd staat van de afschuwelijke geheime beweging die al zoveel slachtoffers in Europaheeft gemaakt, antwoordt Smith in ‘De geheimzinnige Dr. Fu-Manchu’: "Stel je iemand voor: lang, mager, katachtig en hoge schouders, met een voorhoofd als dat van Shakespeare en het gezicht van Satan, een kaalgeschoren schedel en langwerpige magnetiserende ogen als van een kat. Geef hem al de wrede sluwheid van een geheel Oosters ras, samengebracht in één reusachtig intellect, met alle hulpbronnen van vroegere en tegenwoordige wetenschap... Stel je dat schrikwekkende wezen voor en je hebt een krankzinnig beeld van Dr. Fu-Manchu, het Gele Gevaar, vlees geworden in één mens". Zo werd Fu-Manchu als een Chinese crimineel in 1912 in het verhaal "The Zayat Kiss" geïntroduceerd. -
