  • Ealing Studios and the Ealing Comedies: the Tip of the Iceberg
    Ealing Studios and the Ealing Comedies: the Tip of the Iceberg ROBERT WINTER* In lecture form this paper was illustrated with video clips from Ealing films. These are noted below in boxes in the text. My subject is the legendary Ealing Studios comedies. But the comedies were only the tip of the iceberg. To show this I will give a sketch of the film industry leading to Ealing' s success, and of the part played by Sir Michael Balcon over 25 years.! Today, by touching a button or flicking a switch, we can see our values, styles, misdemeanours, the romance of the past and present-and, with imagination, a vision of the" future. Now, there are new technologies, of morphing, foreground overlays, computerised sets, electronic models. These technologies affect enormously our ability to give currency to our creative impulses and credibility to what we do. They change the way films can be produced and, importantly, they change the level of costs for production. During the early 'talkie' period there many artistic and technical difficulties. For example, artists had to use deep pan make-up to' compensate for the high levels of carbon arc lighting required by lower film speeds. The camera had to be put into a soundproof booth when shooting back projection for car travelling sequences. * Robert Winter has been associated with the film and television industries since he appeared in three Gracie Fields films in the mid-1930s. He joined Ealing Studios as an associate editor in 1942 and worked there on more than twenty features. After working with other studios he became a founding member of Yorkshire Television in 1967.

  • Robert Hamer After Ealing Philip Kemp
    The long shadow: Robert Hamer after Ealing philip kemp L M, killer and tenth Duke of Chalfont, emerges from jail, cleared of the murder for which he was about to hang. Waiting for him, along with two attractive rival widows, is a bowler-hatted little man from a popular magazine bidding for his memoirs. ‘My memoirs?’ murmurs Louis, the faintest spasm of panic ruffling his urbanity, and we cut to a pile of pages lying forgotten in the condemned cell: the incriminating manuscript that occupied his supposed last hours on earth. So ends Robert Hamer’s best-known film, Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949). It’s an elegant, teasing sign-off from a movie that has teased us elegantly all through – luring us into complicity with its cool, confidential voice-over, holding us at arm’s length with its deadpan irony. The final gag, with an amused shrug, invites us to pick our own ending: Louis triumphant, retrieving his manuscript, poised for glory and prosperity; or Louis disgraced, doomed by his own hand. (For the US version, the Breen Office priggishly demanded an added shot of the memoirs in the hands of the authorities.) Films have an eerie habit of mirroring the conditions of their own making – and of their makers. Or is it that we can’t resist reading such reflections into them, indulging ourselves in the enjoyable shudder of the unwitting premonition? Either way, Kind Hearts’ ambiguous close seems to foreshadow the options facing Hamer himself on its completion. His finest film to date, it could have led to a dazzling career.

  • Kind Hearts and Coronets
    Kind Hearts and Coronets Notes Vital Statistics Director Robert Hamer, born Worcestershire, 1911 Released 14th June, 1950, General Film Distributors (UK) Running time 106 mins Genre - Comedy Drama Synopsis In the early twentieth century, young Louis Mazzini vows to take revenge on his family, the D’Ascoynes, when he learns how they disinherited his mother. Working his way into their trust, Louis begins to bump off his distant relatives (all played by Alec Guinness) one by one, but complications set in when Edith D’Ascoyne, the widow of his first victim, falls in love with him. Notes Did you know? – Ealing Studios is the oldest continuously working film studio in the world, and was built for the use of sound in early British films. The Ealing Comedies were a series of film comedies produced by Ealing Studios between 1947 and 1957. – Kind Hearts and Coronets is regarded as one of the best Ealing Studios films and is listed in Time magazine’s top 100 and the BFI Top 100 British Films. In 2004, Total Film named it as the 7th best ever British film. – Alec Guinness plays eight parts in the film, but was initially only offered four. He claimed that he “read [the screenplay] on a beach in France, collapsed with laughter on the first page, and didn’t even bother to get to the end of the script. I went straight back to the hotel and sent a telegram saying, ‘Why four parts? Why not eight!?” – Chalfont, the family seat of the d’Ascoynes, is Leeds Castle. Far from being anywhere near the Yorkshire city, it is actually four miles east of Maidstone in Kent.

  • Louis Mazzini's Postcard: the Genius Loci of Kind Hearts and Coronets
    Louis Mazzini’s Postcard: the genius loci of Kind Hearts and Coronets To convincingly situate Kind Hearts and Coronets in English film history has been a problem, the major symptom of which has been the repeated debates about its purported literariness. Defence of the film, with emphasis on its uniqueness, has led to classifying it as an anomaly, at least in English terms. References to the director, Robert Hamer’s Francophile tendencies have frequently been deployed in the process. However, this seems to lead too far away from the fact that the film’s aesthetic draws to a considerable extent on an English landscape tradition, namely the picturesque. The relationship between figure and landscape is integral to the plot of Kind Hearts and Coronets. Louis Mazzini’s social ascent is appositely articulated through a series of landscapes. As Nikolaus Pevsner points out, the picturesque still had currency in the late 1940s. The town planning which emerged during the post-Second World War reconstruction abstracted the essential form of the picturesque: serpentine, irregular contours which pleasingly confound the explorer. At about the same time, Kind Hearts revisited the rural history of the picturesque landscape garden in various forms. Most simply put, Kind Hearts and Coronets is before all else a film about an arriviste working his way up through the English class system. Concomitantly and perhaps unavoidably, it is therefore also a film about a landed estate. In the source book for Kind Hearts, Roy Horniman’s Israel Rank, the arriviste protagonist looks forward to owning half a dozen properties with his title.

  • Coarse-Grain Fine-Grain Coattention Network for Multi-Evidence
    Published as a conference paper at ICLR 2019 COARSE-GRAIN FINE-GRAIN COATTENTION NET- WORK FOR MULTI-EVIDENCE QUESTION ANSWERING Victor Zhong1, Caiming Xiong2, Nitish Shirish Keskar2, and Richard Socher2 1Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, WA [email protected] 2Salesforce Research, Palo Alto, CA fcxiong, nkeskar, [email protected] ABSTRACT End-to-end neural models have made significant progress in question answering, however recent studies show that these models implicitly assume that the answer and evidence appear close together in a single document. In this work, we propose the Coarse-grain Fine-grain Coattention Network (CFC), a new question answer- ing model that combines information from evidence across multiple documents. The CFC consists of a coarse-grain module that interprets documents with respect to the query then finds a relevant answer, and a fine-grain module which scores each candidate answer by comparing its occurrences across all of the documents with the query. We design these modules using hierarchies of coattention and self- attention, which learn to emphasize different parts of the input. On the Qangaroo WikiHop multi-evidence question answering task, the CFC obtains a new state- of-the-art result of 70.6% on the blind test set, outperforming the previous best by 3% accuracy despite not using pretrained contextual encoders. 1 INTRODUCTION A requirement of scalable and practical question answering (QA) systems is the ability to reason over multiple documents and combine their information to answer questions. Although existing datasets enabled the development of effective end-to-end neural question answering systems, they tend to focus on reasoning over localized sections of a single document (Hermann et al., 2015; Rajpurkar et al., 2016; 2018; Trischler et al., 2017).

  • A Guide to the Filmscripts in the Lilly Library Book Department
    From Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion to Zorro Rides Again: A Guide to the Filmscripts in the Lilly Library Book Department There are presently over nine hundred scripts in the Lilly Li­ brary Book department. The movies represented range from the silent version of Ben Hur to Breaking Away. The collection's scope is broad; one can find scripts for great film classics, musicals, mys­ teries, adventures, shorts, westerns, comedies, and science fiction movies. Many types of filmscripts make up the collection-drafts, cutting continuities, preliminary editions, shooting finals. Gener­ ally the scripts are accompanied by publicity photos. Although the majority of filmscripts in the collection are for talkies, several scripts are for silent films. The text of a silent film­ script is devoted primarily to directions for camera shots and de­ scriptions of the action, and provides title captions instead of dia­ logue. The earliest script in the collection is for The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (released in 1921), the film that gave Rudolph Valentino his first starring role. The Big Parade (1925), King Vidor's popular film about an average man's experiences at war, estab­ lished John Gilbert as a top star. The Jazz Singer (1927) was the first full length feature with both singing and talking, starring AI }olson in his first movie role. Wings (1928), considered to be the last of the silent spectaculars, was the first movie to receive an Academy Award. Clara Bow and Charles Rogers starred in this tale of World War I flyers. One of the most lavish films of the silent era was the the 1926 MGM version of Ben Hur, starring Ramon Novarro, directed by William Wellman.
