A note about this project… Twelve young writers from around the country won a scholarship to spend one week in Hannibal learning about the real life adventures of Samuel Clemens and how he came to write about these adventures. The children worked on several writing projects of their own during the week. One of the first included a special after- hours “behind the scenes” tour of the museum. As curator Henry Sweets told the stories about various museum artifacts, the young writers took detailed notes. Each was assigned two artifacts and asked to “bring them to life.” (Continued…) Note (cont.) The challenge presented to the young authors was to speak in the voice of the artifacts, or anthropomorphize them.

  • Gone with the Wind
    Gone with the Wind Gone with the Wind, motion-picture epic about a tempestuous Southern belle and the changes in her life due to the American Civil War (1861-1865), based on the best- selling novel by Margaret Mitchell. Released in 1939, this film won eight Academy Awards and was one of the biggest production events in film history. The story involves Scarlett O’Hara (played by Vivien Leigh), the beautiful and difficult daughter of a large plantation owner. O'Hara is hopelessly infatuated with Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard), but becomes distraught when Wilkes becomes engaged to Melanie Hamilton (Olivia de Havilland). In the midst of a tantrum over this news she meets the rakish Rhett Butler (Clark Gable). The two Southerners form a fiery romance and then endure hardship and loss in the Civil War, including the famous burning of Atlanta, Georgia. Directors Victor Fleming George Cukor Sam Wood William Cameron Menzies Sidney Franklin Cast Fred Crane (Brent Tarleton) George Reeves (Stuart Tarleton) Vivien Leigh (Scarlett O'Hara) Hattie McDaniel (Mammy) Everett Brown (Big Sam) Zack Williams (Elijah) Thomas Mitchell (Gerald O'Hara) Oscar Polk (Pork) Barbara O'Neil (Ellen O'Hara) Victor Jory (Jonas Wilkerson) Evelyn Keyes (Suellen O'Hara) Ann Rutherford (Careen O'Hara) Butterfly McQueen (Prissy) Tom Seidel (Guest) Howard Hickman (John Wilkes) Alicia Rhett (India Wilkes) Leslie Howard (Ashley Wilkes) Olivia de Havilland (Melanie Hamilton) Rand Brooks (Charles Hamilton) Carroll Nye (Frank Kennedy) Marcella Martin (Cathleen Calvert) Clark Gable (Rhett Butler) James Bush (Gentleman) Marjorie Reynolds (Gossip) Ralph Brooks (Gentleman) Philip Trent (Gentleman, later bearded Confederate on steps at Tara) Laura Hope Crews (Aunt Pittypat Hamilton) Harry Davenport (Dr.

  • Phd Thesis Noel Brown
    1 Hollywood, the family audience and the family film, 1930-2010 Noel Brown Thesis submitted towards the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics, Newcastle University. June 2010 2 Abstract This thesis is the first in-depth, historical study of Hollywood’s relationship with the ‘family audience’ and ‘family film’. Since the 1970s, Hollywood family films have been the most lucrative screen entertainments in the world, and despite their relatively- unexplored status in academic film criticism and history, I will argue that the format is centrally important in understanding mainstream Hollywood cinema. How have ‘family films’ become so globally dominant? One answer is that Hollywood’s international power facilitates the global proliferation of its products, but this explanation, in isolation, is insufficient. I will argue that Hollywood family films are designed to transcend normative barriers of age, gender, race, culture and even taste; they target the widest possible audiences to maximise commercial returns, trying to please as many people, and offend as few, as possible. This they achieve through a combination of ideological populism, emotional stimulation, impressive spectacle, and the calculated minimisation of potentially objectionable elements, such as sex, violence, and excessive socio-cultural specificity. Initially, the audience for family films was predominantly domestic, but with the increasing spending power of international audiences, family films are now formulated on the belief that no market is inaccessible. For this reason, they are inextricably linked with Hollywood – the only film industry in the world with the resources and distribution capacity to address a truly global mass audience.
