Memories of a life in films: The Launch of Talking Pictures TV – the Early Days Part 13, by Noel Cronin Having made the decision to start our own TV channel, Sarah and I started the long process. Is it a good idea? How much will it cost? What are the regulations? The list was endless and in my late sixties, should I be starting a new career? We felt the idea was sound; there seemed to be a gap in the market for a mostly mature audience that were fed up with the mind-numbing fare served up by the BBC and ITV. Daytime drama programmes by and large had been replaced by reality shows – how to do up a house, are auntie’s old candlesticks worth anything etc – which, sadly, still play after all this time. Starting and running a TV station is very time consuming and extremely expensive, so off to the banks with our business plan we went, only to find out that they didn’t really do that sort of thing, but, “how much is your house worth?” Further meetings with financial institutions proved equally unsuccessful including offering the Chinese a place on the board. In the end, we realised if it were to happen it would have to be self financed and, with a small loan from the bank… yes, and the deeds of the house were brought out (!) we were in business. It always appeared obvious that most of the work would have to be carried out by Sarah and myself so having raised the minimum finance we were off to get a broadcasters licence... Producer Noel Cronin founded Talking Pictures TV and Renown Pictures and is contributing his memories to the newsletter. Ever since his entrance into the world of film as a young man, Noel has been interested in preserving the heritage of lost and forgotten films, shorts and programmes, and for many years has gathered, restored and preserved this wonderful heritage which would otherwise be lost. Noel worked for the Rank Organisation and the Central Office of Information, and bought the rights to several libraries that owned films which now air on Talking Pictures TV. His career as a producer and editor of films, documentaries and TV series spans several decades.

The main building of the museum was once a workhouse where Chaplin lived as a child. Chaplin’s presence is commemorated, with framed posters and stills from his most famous films, comedies that became international successes and guaranteed his status in film history forever. It is well documented that Chaplin’s early life was marked by what were to become the themes of his silent comedies: poverty, cruelty and loneliness. With an absent father and a mother who struggled both financially and with mental health problems, he had two stays in the workhouse before he reached 9 years of age. He had performed in the music halls from an early age and by the time he was 14 had built a respectable act, including a hilarious ‘drunken man’ routine, and toured extensively throughout the UK. After a relatively short time, he came to the attention of impresario Fred Karno, who recognised Chaplin’s great talents and took Charlie on tour with his company to America. It was while he was performing in the States that he was invited to work in the fledgling film industry. By 1914 Chaplin was working for Keystone Studios. He honed his craft and his knowledge of the film industry as he worked through the studios of Essanay, Mutual and First National. Within four years, he had created his iconic ‘little tramp’ character which bought him a huge following of fans and turned him into an international film star. In 1919 Chaplin co-founded the distribution company United Artists with D.W. Griffith, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, giving him full control over his films, something he had been striving for since the Keystone days. He built his own studio, where he wrote, directed, produced, edited, appeared in and even composed the music for most of his films. He was a perfectionist and his financial independence now enabled him to spend years on the development and production of a picture. His first feature length film wasThe Kid (1919), co-starring Jackie Coogan. It was a masterpiece and one of the finest appearances for his ‘tramp’ character. He would keep the character as the ‘star’ of his films until he was forced to make him speak in The Great Dictator (1940), after which he never appeared on film as ‘the little tramp’ again. What followed was a new era of filmmaking for Chaplin. Further classics would fill the screen… but that’s another story. 18 CHAPLIN The story of one of cinema’s greatest pioneers on DVD. Running time: 138 mins approx. with free £15 UK Postage Year: 1992 Director: Richard Attenborough Cast: Robert Downey Jr., John Thaw, Geraldine Chaplin, Paul Rhys, Moira Kelly, Anthony Hopkins, Dan Aykroyd, Marisa Tomei, Penelope Ann Miller, Kevin Kline, Maria Pitillo, Milla Jovovich, Kevin Dunn, Deborah Moore, Diane Lane, Nancy Travis, James Woods, Hugh Downer, Nicholas Gatt, Bill Paterson. Legendary director Richard Attenborough tells the epic story of a true cinematic icon, Charlie Chaplin. In this award- winning masterpiece we follow Chaplin’s increasingly complicated life from a poverty stricken music hall entertainer in England to eventual triumph in America. The story of Chaplin is the story of cinema, as we watch him grow from developing silent era slapstick to becoming one of the most important, pioneering fathers of film making, the art-form of a new century. But although he was able to reflect wondrous, magical humour in his work, his private life was afflicted with infamy, sadness and a growing sense of loss. Chaplin’s complex and dramatic career is brought to life by a stunning array of actors, with unforgettable performances from Robert Downey Jr, Anthony Hopkins, To order, call us on Freephone Kevin Kline, Dan Akroyd, Marisa Tomei and Geraldine Chaplin as her own 0808 178 8212 grandmother.

The British National Films Company We are very proud that Noel has managed to license some of the films produced by the British National Films Company, formed in 1934 by Joseph Arthur Rank, a devout member of the British Methodist Church and also a Sunday school teacher. He discovered that screening religious films received a positive response and in 1933 formed the Religious Film Society. A newspaper article about the effect of the film industry on family life motivated Rank to expand into the commercial market. His first feature film wasTurn of the Tide (1935), but it was difficult to find distribution and Rank knew he had to create a commercial version of his Religious Film Society. In 1934, Charles Boot had constructed a film studio in the village of Iver Heath in Buckinghamshire named Pinewood Film Studios. Boot approached British National about taking over ownership and management of the studios, and a contract was signed. Rank produced many films, some of which you will recognise from watching Talking Pictures TV. They include many Old Mother Riley films;Gaslight (1940); Love on the Dole (1941); Crook’s Tour (1941); The Seventh Survivor (1942); One of Our Aircraft Is Missing (1942); Lady from Lisbon (1942); The Dummy Talks (1943); Welcome, Mr. Washington (1944); Medal for the General (1944); Lisbon Story (1946); Green Fingers (1947); Dual Alibi (1947) and The Ghosts of Berkeley Square (1947).

Miller OPTIONAL SUBTITLES Year: 1964; Colour Running Time approx: 75 min Number of discs: 1 Influenced by the worldwide success of Italian ‘Mondo’ movies, which combined £15 documentary footage with staged sequences to salacious effect, legendary British low-budget movie mogul Arnold Louis Miller concocted this fascinating exploitation-style documentary. Peering voyeuristically behind the grimy net curtains of London life into seedy bars and clubs for beatniks and ‘art lovers’ and burrowing beneath the glittering façade of the capital’s glamorous cocktail lounges and casinos, London in the Raw provides a cynical, sometimes startling, vision of life on and off the rain-spattered streets of 1960s London.

Dear Talking pictures Team, Last week you told of us of a lovely letter from Hilary Field inviting Robin Hood and his merry men to tea and I just had to tell you how I did have tea with one of the men from Sherwood Forest! Like Hilary I was a huge fan of the series and it is so wonderful to see it running again on Talking Pictures. As a child I never expected to meet the Sheriff. Many years later, I met Alan Wheatley who played the Sheriff of Nottingham and he became a friend, which led to me having tea with him several times at his beautiful flat in the late 70’s and the 80’s. Alan would always wheel out a trolley with a wonderful assortment of cakes and scones. He would tell me many stories of his film work and of course Robin Hood. Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to catch up with our old heroes!! Very best to all the team, David J. Williams- Southampton.
