No. 8 NEW YORK and JERSEY CITY, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1944 VOL. ХП What We Can Do TO SPEAK AT U.NA JUBILEE CONCERT IN CARNEGIE HALL "The folks back here in the United States don't seem to realize there's a war on!" How many times have you read that statement in the paper—the words of some returning serviceman ? How often have you heard that per­ sonally from the lips of some boy who has come back from a battle- front? We quite understand the thoughts of the wounded lad who fought it : out with the Japs in New Guinea, or the Germans on the bloody beaches of Salerno. He comes home from slimy foxhole life, from the sight of constant horror, from the battlefield where wounded men died in agony, and he sees us here, secure, well- fed, and warmly housed. He hears us grouse about not being able to get enough gasoline, and he com­ pares our troubles with the awfulness he has seen. No, he doesn't reason it out that we don't mean to grouse about these little things, and that the folks back j 'home are willing to do everything PROF. CLARENCE A.

Contact: [email protected] Somewhere in the Night (Fox Home Entertainment, 9.6.2005) Unlike the other two recent entries in Fox’s film noir series, The House on 92nd Street and Whirlpool, Somewhere in the Night is unequivocally the real thing. With Norbert Brodine’s atmospheric lighting, rain-slicked streets (though set in Los Angeles), a swanky nightclub, a sultry torch singer, a villain with a foreign accent, a muscle-bound lug, and moral ambiguity to burn, Somewhere in the Night is a terrific example of the genre. George Taylor (John Hodiak) wakes up in a military field hospital in the Pacific with no memory of who he is. Returning to Los Angeles, Taylor, who instinctively knows this is not his real name, finds an old letter from his friend Larry Cravat and tries to track down Cravat to find out who he really his. With the help of singer Christy Smith (Nancy Guild), nightclub owner Mel Phillips (Richard Conte), and cop Lt. Donald Kendall (Lloyd Nolan), Taylor learns that Cravat and another man were involved in stealing $2 million in loot shipped to the United States by a Nazi officer.

  • Abortion As Metaphor
    ABORTION AS METAPHOR John J. Conley, S.J. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER is to analyze the symbolic function of abortion in two disparate works of art: Alfred Hitchcock’s film Lifeboat (1944) and Terrence McNally’s play Master Class (1994). At first glance, these two works might appear unlikely candidates for an exploration of the aesthetics of abortion. Neither work treats abortion as a primary theme. Neither elaborates a case for or against abortion. Indeed, neither even uses the word “abortion.” Nonetheless, in each work, abortion functions as a metaphor for a series of homicidal acts, both social and personal. LIFEBOAT Based upon a story by John Steinbeck,i Lifeboatii depicts the struggle for survival by nine people stranded on the Atlantic. Set in World War II, the film opens in the immediate aftermath of a U-boat attack upon an Allied freighter. In the cramped single set of a lifeboat, the survivors battle nature, their conflicting temperaments, and, finally, the brutal enigma of the Nazi creed. In the opening scene the journalist Constance Porter (Tallulah Bankhead) sits perfectly coiffed in the lifeboat as she films the wreckage of the attack. The lifeboat gradually fills with other survivors: John Kovac (John Hodiak), a Communist engineer; Stanley Garrett (Hume Cronyn), a radio operator; Alice MacKenzie (Mary Anderson), a nurse; Charles “Ritt” Rittenhouse (Henry Hull), a millionaire businessman; Gus Smith (William Bendix), a merchant marine; “Joe” Spencer (Canada Lee), an African-American steward; and Mrs. Higgins, a shock victim from the obliteration bombings of Bristol who brings her dead baby aboard.

  • Pioneer Film Director Honored / HENRY KING
    The Museum of Modern Art 'iWest 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modemart NO. 57 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PIONEER FILM DIRECTOR HONORED SEVEN WEEK RETROSPECTIVE FOR HENRY KING CO-SPONSORED BY MUSEUM AND DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA "...the most underpublicized filmmaker in Hollywood. This tall, lean, handsome, urbane, but unflamboyant model of a corporation president makes film hits so easily, so efficiently, and so calmly that he is not news in a community of blaring trumpets, crashing cymbals and screaming egos." -Frank Capra Henry King, one of the founding fathers of American film, who began his career early in the century, remains today one of the legendary figures in Hollywood, and though he preserves his privacy, his films such as "The Song of Bernadette," "Twelve O'clock High" and "The Gunfighter" speak for themselves, and these and other major works will be part of a seven week retrospective given in King's honor by New York's Museum of Modern Art in association with the Directors Guild of America. The Virginia-born director, who has specialized, like D.W. Griffith and John Ford, in Americana themes since his first classic, "Tol'able David," and later with "State Fair", "In Old Chicago," "Jesse James" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band," will make a trip from the West Coast to New York to participate in the opening of this program. On June 29 and 30, he will address the Museum audiences, although he seldom makes public appearances. While he contributed to Hollywood's worldwide reputation, King, who recognized such early superstars as Richard Barthelmess, Ronald Colman and Gary Cooper and gave them their first leading roles on the screen, has managed to retain his relative anonymity in an ostentatious environment.

  • Bringing Bogie Ut of the Courtroom Closet: Law and Lawyers in Film Prof Rennard Strickland
    4 Bringing Bogie ut of the Courtroom Closet: Law and Lawyers in Film Prof Rennard Strickland Casablanca (19421is a film of mystery and romance. Warner Brothers cultivated that aura of intrigue not only about the place Casablanca but also about the man Rick. His mysterious past is among the reasons Casablanca is ranked by general audi- ences as the most popular American film of all time. Questioning Rick's past seems almost subversive, somehow disloyal, unfair to the memory of Humphrey Bogart. And yet, there is no doubt about it: the mysterious Rick Blaine was a law- yer-a criminal attorney at that! Rick, surely the most famous cine- matic bar owner in history, was also admitted at the bar of justice. Before coming to Casablanca for the waters, Rick had been a practicing attorney first in New York City and then in Paris. The old Hollywood studio system was good at doing what it set out to do; in Casablanca it sought to obscure the past of the man Bogart immortalized on the screen. And Prof. Rennard Strickland the film did just that! It is absolutely impossible from the film itself to estab- lish Rick's legal credentials. Closeting Rick was a deliberate decision by the film's producers. senting themselves. Rick has also taken The proof that Rick was a lawyer has up running a bar and restaurant, the been buried for almost half a century in Law is a kaleidoscopic profession. lawyer's favorite way to personal bank- yellowing corporate files at Warner No doubt lawyers have a great ruptcy.
