Film Essay for "Midnight"
Midnight By Kyle Westphal Long-standing critical con- sensus and the marketing prowess of Turner Classic Movies have declared 1939 to be “Hollywood’s Greatest Year”— a judgment made on the basis of a handful of popular classics like “Gone with the Wind,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Stagecoach,” and “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” and a rather large stable of films that represent studio craftsmen at its most competent and unpretentious.

CAMINO REAL 2:3 (2010): 11-33 Celluloid Conquistadors: Images of the Conquest of Mexico in Captain from Castile (1947) STEPHEN A. COLSTON ABSTRACT The Spanish Conquest of Aztec Mexico (1519-21) forever transformed greater North America, Europe, and regions beyond. In spite of this significance, there is only one extant motion picture that has attempted to portray features of this epic event. Re- leased in 1947 by Twentieth Century-Fox, Captain from Castile was based on a novel of the same title and offers images of the Conquest that are intertwined with fact and fic- tion. Drawing upon the novel and elements of the Conquest story itself, this study se- parates and examines the threads of fact and fantasy that form the fundamental fabric of this film’s recounting of the Spanish Conquest. This analysis is enhanced by infor- mation found in unpublished documents from several collections of motion picture pro- duction materials. Ultimately, the images of the Spanish Conquest that emerge in Captain from Castile reveal some elements of genuine historicity but they more often reflect, in typical Hollywood fashion, the aspirations of a studio more concerned with achieving box office success than historical accuracy. Keywords: film, Hollywood, Conquest, Mexico, Cortés, Aztecs. Stephen A. Colston is an Associate Professor of History at San Diego State University.

What's the Use of Wondering If He's Good Or Bad?: Carousel and The
What’s the Use of Wondering if He’s Good or Bad?: Carousel and the Presentation of Domestic Violence in Musicals. Patricia ÁLVAREZ CALDAS Universidad de Santiago de Compostela [email protected] Recibido: 15.09.2012 Aceptado: 30.09.2012 ABSTRACT The analysis of the 1956 film Carousel (Dir. Henry King), which was based on the 1945 play by Rodgers and Hammerstein, provides a suitable example of a musical with explicit allusions to male physical aggression over two women: the wife and the daughter. The issue of domestic violence appears, thus, in a film genre in which serious topics such as these are rarely present. The film provide an opportunity to study how the expectations and the conventions brought up by this genre are capable of shaping and transforming the presentation of Domestic Violence. Because the audience had to sympathise with the protagonists, the plot was arranged to fulfil the conventional pattern of a romantic story inducing audiences forget about the dark themes that are being portrayed on screen. Key words: Domestic violence, film, musical, cultural studies. ¿De qué sirve preocuparse por si es bueno o malo?: Carrusel y la presentación de la violencia doméstica en los musicales. RESUMEN La película Carrusel (dirigida por Henry King en 1956 y basada en la obra de Rodgers y Hammerstein de 1945), nos ofrece un gran ejemplo de un musical que realiza alusiones explícitas a las agresiones que ejerce el protagonista masculino sobre su esposa y su hija. El tema de la violencia doméstica aparece así en un género fílmico en el que este tipo de tratamientos rara vez están presentes. -
