  • The Cinematic City
    5 URBAN CONFIDENTIAL the lurid city of the 1950s Will Straw INTRODUCTION The first few minutes of New Orleans After Dark (1957) offer one of the most glaringly inept opening sequences in the American cinema of the 1950s. As the film begins, prior to the appearance of its credits, we are shown a woman in a nightclub, singing at a piano. As she sings—a song whose lyrics inventory the range of human types to be found along New Orleans’ Bourbon Street—we see a montage of images plucked from the narrative which follows, most of them involving violence against female burlesque dancers. Before the song’s conclusion, the film shifts to an oddly flat, stagy interior tableau in which a policeman bids farewell to his wife and son before heading off to the night shift. A voice-over notes that “[t]his film could be about dedicated police officers anywhere.” Brief, on-location images of downtown New Orleans follow, themselves succeeded by scenes of brief banter between patrolmen and a streetwalker; already our sense of chronology has become confused. Over more scenes of the street, the words of the film’s title and credits are superimposed, in lettering which recalls the typescripts used in scandal magazines of the time. As the credits conclude, we move into a burlesque club, and into what we may assume is the beginning of the film’s narrative. The generic threads interwoven here suggest, simultaneously, the traditions of the semi-illicit stag film, the police procedural, the semi-documentary instruction film, the vice expose movie and the low-budget mystery.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Complete Film Noir
    COMPLETE FILM NOIR (1940 thru 1965) Page 1 of 18 CONSENSUS FILM NOIR (1940 thru 1959) (1960-1965) dThe idea for a COMPLETE FILM NOIR LIST came to me when I realized that I was “wearing out” a then recently purchased copy of the Film Noir Encyclopedia, 3rd edition. My initial plan was to make just a list of the titles listed in this reference so I could better plan my film noir viewing on AMC (American Movie Classics). Realizing that this plan was going to take some keyboard time, I thought of doing a search on the Internet Movie DataBase (here after referred to as the IMDB). By using the extended search with selected criteria, I could produce a list for importing to a text editor. Since that initial list was compiled almost twenty years ago, I have added additional reference sources, marked titles released on NTSC laserdisc and NTSC Region 1 DVD formats. When a close friend complained about the length of the list as it passed 600 titles, the idea of producing a subset list of CONSENSUS FILM NOIR was born. Several years ago, a DVD producer wrote me as follows: “I'd caution you not to put too much faith in the film noir guides, since it's not as if there's some Film Noir Licensing Board that reviews films and hands out Certificates of Authenticity. The authors of those books are just people, limited by their own knowledge of and access to films for review, so guidebooks on noir are naturally weighted towards the more readily available studio pictures, like Double Indemnity or Kiss Me Deadly or The Big Sleep, since the many low-budget B noirs from indie producers or overseas have mostly fallen into obscurity.” There is truth in what the producer says, but if writers of (film noir) guides haven’t seen the films, what chance does an ordinary enthusiast have.
