El argumento de la película: Cuando el barco San Luis hace una parada en el puerto de Barranca, para entregar bolsas de correo y cargar bananas, la cantante de cabaret Bonnie Lee deja el barco durante algunas horas para dar un paseo por los alrededores. Se encuentra con una pandilla de aviadores estadounidenses, que trabajan para un holandés, que es el propietario del hotel, pero también de la inestable Barranca Airways. El gerente de la compañía es el piloto Geoff Carter, que debe enfrentarse en un clima tormentoso a vuelos son extremadamente difíciles, sobre todo para franquear la cordillera de los Andes a través de un paso a 14.000 pies de altitud. Uno de los jóvenes pilotos sale en vuelo de prueba, pero el mal tiempo le impide atravesar el paso, y en su deseo de regresar pronto para cenar con Bonnie intenta un aterrizaje sin visibilidad en el que pierde la vida. No es el primero, otros pilotos ya habían muerto antes. Bonnie se siente atraída por el cínico Geoff, quien en cierta medida le recuerda a su padre, un trapecista que trabajaba sin red de seguridad, y decide no volver al barco y quedarse en el hotel. Pero Geoff, que también siente atracción por Bonnie, tiene miedo de ser interferido en su estilo de vida si se une a ella. Un nuevo piloto, Bat MacPherson, que puede reemplazar al fallecido, llega a Barranca con su esposa Judy, que años atrás fue novia de Geoff, y cuyas relaciones se rompieron al intentar ella que él dejara de volar. Geoff reconoce en McPherson, que ha dado un nombre falso, a un piloto que en un momento de peligro saltó de su avión en paracaídas dejando abandonado a su mecánico, que pereció; aquel mecánico era hermano de Kid Dabb, el mejor amigo de Geoff y un buen aviador al que por su acentuada miopía no tiene más remedio que destinar tan sólo a servicios de tierra. Geoff confía a McPherson los vuelos más peligrosos, pero uno hay tan arriesgado que decide efectuarlo él mismo. Para poder acompañarle, Kid le propone confiarlo a la suerte y utiliza una moneda trucada que le permite ganar. Bonnie se opone a que Geoff haga el vuelo en cuestión y llega a amenazarle con un revólver, que accidentalmente se dispara resultando el aviador con una herida leve. McPherson ocupa su puesto en el aparato, junto al hermano del mecánico que murió por su culpa. Durante el vuelo un cóndor se estrella contra el avión rompiendo el cristal delantero e hiriendo a Kid. Las condiciones son dramáticas y Kid pide a McPherson que salte en paracaídas y le deje, pero·McPherson se niega, y en un alarde de dominio consigue llegar sin novedad al aeródromo. Kid muere y Bonnie se quedará con Geoff. Para algunos críticos es este el mejor de los cinco films de aviación que Howard Hawks realizó; otros, sin embargo, siguen prefiriendo «La escuadrilla del amanecer». En favor de «Sólo los ángeles tienen alas» se mencionan sus escenas de aviación, como más convincentes, por la sensación de peligro. Técnicamente es un alarde de pureza cinematográfica, que pasa con naturalidad de la comedia al drama para volver a aquélla como remanso saludable. Algunos datos de la biografía de Howard Hawks: Howard Winchester Hawks nació en Goshen (Indiana) el 30 de mayo de 1896. Sus dos hermanos también tendrían actividades cinematográficas: William productor de películas y Kenneth, fallecido en accidente de aviación, dirigió algunos films con soltura, aunque con escasa personalidad. La familia se trasladó a California durante la infancia de Howard, que estudió en la Universidad de Pasadena y en la Academia Philips Exeter, y después en la Universidad de Cornell, de Nueva York, a donde llegó en la adolescencia. Quería ser ingeniero, pero problemas económicos familiares le impidieron lograrlo, y tuvo que ganarse la vida como piloto de coches de carreras. En 1917, al entrar los Estados Unidos en la primera guerra mundial, se alistó como aviador y combatió en Europa, alcanzando el grado de teniente. Desmovilizado en 1919, trabajó durante algún tiempo en una oficina aeronáutica y, como piloto, llegó a ganar una marca de velocidad en línea recta. En 1922, durante unas vacaciones que pasó en Hollywood, empezó a trabajar como ascensorista en los estudios Paramount, desde donde pasó a la Metro, como ayudante de montaje. El cine le interesó mucho, más cada vez, y abandonó otros quehaceres para entregarse del todo al mundo del celuloide. En 1923 fue ayudante del director Marshall Neilan, produjo algunas películas independientes, dedicó especial atención a los documentales y cortometrajes y escribió argumentos y guiones, alcanzando el puesto de director del departamento literario de Paramount. En 1925 ofreció un argumento a William Fox, presidente de la Fox Film Corporation. De la conversación con el magnate de la industria resultó la primera oportunidad de Hawks para ensayar sus aptitudes como director. En seguida firmó un contrato de exclusiva con la Fox, que duraría hasta fines de 1929.

  • “Benevolent Supremacy”: Biblical Epic Films, Suez, and the Cultural Politics of U.S
    “Benevolent Supremacy”: Biblical Epic Films, Suez, and the Cultural Politics of U.S. P ower Melani McAlister When The Ten Commandments opened in 1956, the critical consensus was that DeMille had created a middle-brow, melo- dramatic, and highly suspect account of the biblical story of Moses. Newsweek described the film as forced and “heavy- handed,” while the re v i ewer for Ti m e called The Te n Commandments – speaking in the epic terms of the film itself — “perhaps the most vulgar movie ever made.”1 Despite the critical consensus against it, however, DeMille’s version of the exodus story was a remarkable box-office success. It would become the best known and most popular of the cycle of reli- gious epics that swept the United States in the 1950s. For six of the twelve years from 1950 to 1962, a religious historical epic was the year’s number-one box office moneymaker.2 The Ten Commandments and other films like it–Ben Hur, The Robe, Quo Vadis–were offered up as pious activity. Ads for The Ten Commandments carried endorsements from a Baptist minister, a Rabbi, and the Cardinal of New York. And at luncheon in Manhattan just after the opening, DeMille told the guests: “I came here and ask you to use this picture, as I hope and pray that God himself will use it, for the good of the world...”3 But the Jewish and/or Christian plots of these films were narrated in a distinctly contemporary dialect, as tales in Melani McAlister, Assistant Professor Department of American Studies, George Washington University,Washington, D.C., USA 194 Benevolent Supremacy which moral virtue barely triumphed over elaborately staged sexual temptation.

  • Mean Streets: Death and Disfiguration in Hawks's Scarface
    Mean Streets: Death and Disfiguration in Hawks's Scarface ASBJØRN GRØNSTAD Consider this paradox: in Howard Hawks' Scarface, The Shame of the Nation, violence is virtually all-encompassing, yet it is a film from an era before American movies really got violent. There are no graphic close-ups of bullet wounds or slow-motion dissection of agonized faces and bodies, only a series of abrupt, almost perfunctory liquidations seemingly devoid of the heat and passion that characterize the deaths of the spastic Lyle Gotch in The Wild Bunch or the anguished Mr. Orange, slowly bleeding to death, in Reservoir Dogs. Nonetheless, as Bernie Cook correctly points out, Scarface is the most violent of all the gangster films of the eatly 1930s cycle (1999: 545).' Hawks's camera desists from examining the anatomy of the punctured flesh and the extended convulsions of corporeality in transition. The film's approach, conforming to the period style of ptc-Bonnie and Clyde depictions of violence, is understated, euphemistic, in its attention to the particulars of what Mark Ledbetter sees as "narrative scarring" (1996: x). It would not be illegitimate to describe the form of violence in Scarface as discreet, were it not for the fact that appraisals of the aesthetics of violence are primarily a question of kinds, and not degrees. In Hawks's film, as we shall see, violence orchestrates the deep structure of the narrative logic, yielding an hysterical form of plotting that hovers between the impulse toward self- effacement and the desire to advance an ethics of emasculation. Scarface is a film in which violence completely takes over the narrative, becoming both its vehicle and its determination.

  • Sob Sisters: the Image of the Female Journalist in Popular Culture
    SOB SISTERS: THE IMAGE OF THE FEMALE JOURNALIST IN POPULAR CULTURE By Joe Saltzman Director, Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) Joe Saltzman 2003 The Image of the Female Journalist in Popular Culture revolves around a dichotomy never quite resolved. The female journalist faces an ongoing dilemma: How to incorporate the masculine traits of journalism essential for success – being aggressive, self-reliant, curious, tough, ambitious, cynical, cocky, unsympathetic – while still being the woman society would like her to be – compassionate, caring, loving, maternal, sympathetic. Female reporters and editors in fiction have fought to overcome this central contradiction throughout the 20th century and are still fighting the battle today. Not much early fiction featured newswomen. Before 1880, there were few newspaperwomen and only about five novels written about them.1 Some real-life newswomen were well known – Margaret Fuller, Nelly Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane), Annie Laurie (Winifred Sweet or Winifred Black), Jennie June (Jane Cunningham Croly) – but most female journalists were not permitted to write on important topics. Front-page assignments, politics, finance and sports were not usually given to women. Top newsroom positions were for men only. Novels and short stories of Victorian America offered the prejudices of the day: Newspaper work, like most work outside the home, was for men only. Women were supposed to marry, have children and stay home. To become a journalist, women had to have a good excuse – perhaps a dead husband and starving children. Those who did write articles from home kept it to themselves. Few admitted they wrote for a living. Women who tried to have both marriage and a career flirted with disaster.2 The professional woman of the period was usually educated, single, and middle or upper class.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
