Heather has never wavered in her steady, measured, conscientious and thoughtful responses to the constant stream of writing I have created in regards to my film production practice over the last few years. My overly- narrative writing style may not have been the best fit for academia but Heather’s patience, good humour, monthly word quotas, and continued requests for more analysis and less description has guided me to the finish line. I also appreciate being mentored through the academic publishing process, resulting in a publication at the end of last year.

  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.

  • Cockney Cherokees on the Skyline
    ‘Cockney Cherokees on the Sky-line © Luke McKernan, 1999 COCKNEY CHEROKEES ON THE SKY-LINE Luke McKernan Museum of the Moving Image, 12 May 1999 The genesis of this talk came when I was invited to contribute to a film festival held in Udine, Italy, on the theme of the European Western. We are all familiar with the Italian, or 'spaghetti' Westerns of the 1960s and 70s, but the Eurowestern festival made it clear that other European national cinemas had, for whatever reasons, produced Westerns of their own, and had had a long history of doing so. Some were remarkably good, many were engagingly odd, a handful were thoroughly, embarassingly bad. We saw Westerns from Italy, naturally, several of a violent character from Spain, and the peculiar Der Kaiser von Kalifornien from Hitler's Germany which is showing at the NFT this month. There were the romantic and beautiful Winnetou films from West Germany, severely political Westerns from East Germany, a spoof Western from Czechoslovakia, a French Western set in the Carmargue, a silent Corsican Western and a Finnish Western reputedly filmed in a sandpit just outside Helsinki. And there were British Westerns. I'm not quite sure why they thought of me to be responsible for such an unlikely theme, except that I have a taste for some of the odder corners of film history, but in any case I uncovered what I hoped was an intriguing and worthwhile history, in effect an alternative history of British cinema, the fruits of which I would like to present to you this evening.
