  • The Sins of Leo Mccarey
    Journal of Religion & Film Volume 17 Article 38 Issue 1 April 2013 4-1-2013 The insS of Leo McCarey Richard A. Blake S.J. Boston College, [email protected] Recommended Citation Blake, Richard A. S.J. (2013) "The inS s of Leo McCarey," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 17 : Iss. 1 , Article 38. Available at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol17/iss1/38 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by DigitalCommons@UNO. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. The insS of Leo McCarey Abstract Leo McCarey has received little tta ention from film scholars. His sentimentalizing his Catholic background and his preoccupation with anti-Communism obscured the lasting value of much of his work. His concern with sin and forgiveness form a major motif of his works, from the early comedies to his later serious dramas. Keywords McCarey, Catholic, Sin Author Notes Richard A. Blake, S.J., is Professor of Fine Arts (film studies) at Boston College. He is a former film reviewer, for 35 years, at America magazine, and the author of Afterimage: The ndeI lible Catholic Imagination in Six American Film Makers and Street Smart on New York films. He is the Editor of Studies in the Spirituality of Jesuits. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol17/iss1/38 Blake: The Sins of Leo McCarey THE SINS OF LEO McCAREY I CATHOLICISM AND COMMUNISM Leo McCarey’s Catholic background undoubtedly colored his artistry, particularly his notions of sin and atonement, but few critics and historians have discussed this issue, or many of the other particular issues that arise from a close reading of his films in the context of his biography.

Acquisition Method: Unknown BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Leo McCarey was born in Los Angeles on October 3, 1896, and attended Los Angeles High School, where he met his future wife, Stella Martin. Following his father’s wishes, he studied law at the University of Southern California, but was the first to admit he was a failure at the legal profession. During his first year at USC, he fell five floors in an elevator and broke his legs. While convalescing, he practiced six hours a day on the piano, an instrument he had studied as a child, and later described that period as being the first time in his life he was able to do something he loved. After completing law school, he spent a short time working in mining, including a Utah copper mine that he had purchased stock in with the $2,000 in damages he had received from his elevator accident (the stock proved worthless). After many unsuccessful attempts to get into the movie studios, a friend introduced him to Tod Browning, the director of the 1931 classic DRACULA, who invited him to work as his 3rd assistant director at Universal.

Examination of the record this year and every year must inevitably dis- close much information of both arresting interest and also of genuine im- portance to the progress of the motion picture. It proves some conten- tions and disproves others. It is a source of enlightenment, the clarifying rays of which must be depended upon to light the road ahead. ^ Striking is the essential character of those pictures which month in and month out stand at the head of the list of Box Office Cham- pions. Since August, 1934, the following are among the subjects in this classification: "Treasure Island," "The Barretts of Wimpole Street," "Flirta- tion Walk," "David Copperfield," "Roberta," "Love Me Forever," "Curley
