Last months call for members to support a local charity brought a fine selection of vintage clothes out into the open. The Sevenoaks Youth Area Trust who were organising the 1940s Murder Mystery evening were delighted with our attendance and the members that came along had a great evening. More importantly, some much needed funding was raised for a very worthwhile cause. Meeting up at such events is a fantastic opportunity to get to know one another and have a chat so perhaps it’s something we should do more often. If you have any ideas for a possible outing then do drop me a line and we can see if we can put something together. Of course one opportunity to meet up is on the 24th May at the Coco Club in Sevenoaks (see advert in this issue). At the time of writing tickets are still available but do call the box office to check before turning up. Brandyn Shaw is a superb entertainer and has been very much complimented and compared with Al Bowley. If you get a chance come along and see for yourself.

However, tonight, the focus is not on the men who got away but on the men who were left behind in France. For every seven men that got away from Dunkirk, one man was captured by the Germans. We follow their experiences on forced marches across France and Belgium into Germany and the horrors of violence and starvation that they endured. Sean will look at their experiences in the first few months of living in POW camps as well as those soldiers who went into hiding in France and eventually escaped to Spain and North Africa. Some eventually made the journey home. 74 years ago this month the ‘miracle of Dunkirk’ took place. This evening’s talk gives a very different perspective to the Dunkirk story, one which remained hidden for many years. Sean Longden is a bestselling author of many books including one on the evacuation of Dunkirk. He is an excellent speaker and we are delighted that he is able to join us this evening. Do come along. Friendly meetings learning more about life in the 1940’s. Meetings start at 8pm at Otford Memorial Hall, Nr. Sevenoaks. Admission £3. Further details from Ian on 01732 452505 or visit the Web Site at: www.1940.co.uk 3 Advertise here for as little as £20 4 DUNKIRK THE MEN THEY LEFT BEHIND Our May speaker Sean Longden will be giving us a new perspective into the ‘miracle’ of Dunkirk later this month as we remember it’s 74th anniversary.

  • Ealing Studios and the Ealing Comedies: the Tip of the Iceberg
    Ealing Studios and the Ealing Comedies: the Tip of the Iceberg ROBERT WINTER* In lecture form this paper was illustrated with video clips from Ealing films. These are noted below in boxes in the text. My subject is the legendary Ealing Studios comedies. But the comedies were only the tip of the iceberg. To show this I will give a sketch of the film industry leading to Ealing' s success, and of the part played by Sir Michael Balcon over 25 years.! Today, by touching a button or flicking a switch, we can see our values, styles, misdemeanours, the romance of the past and present-and, with imagination, a vision of the" future. Now, there are new technologies, of morphing, foreground overlays, computerised sets, electronic models. These technologies affect enormously our ability to give currency to our creative impulses and credibility to what we do. They change the way films can be produced and, importantly, they change the level of costs for production. During the early 'talkie' period there many artistic and technical difficulties. For example, artists had to use deep pan make-up to' compensate for the high levels of carbon arc lighting required by lower film speeds. The camera had to be put into a soundproof booth when shooting back projection for car travelling sequences. * Robert Winter has been associated with the film and television industries since he appeared in three Gracie Fields films in the mid-1930s. He joined Ealing Studios as an associate editor in 1942 and worked there on more than twenty features. After working with other studios he became a founding member of Yorkshire Television in 1967.

  • Good Work, Little Soldier: Text and Pretext
    First published in Journal of European Studies 34:1-2 (2004), pp.34-43 Good Work, Little Soldier: text and pretext Adaptation, the most explicit kind of intertextual relation implicating film, is not really intertextual at all, if intertextuality is understood to be a systematic, ongoing and infinite ramification of meanings that command our critical pause. But if we apply a more restricted model from literary theory, centred on a ‘centring text which retains its position of leadership in meaning’,1 adaptation can be read through a variation of this model: pretextuality. Film-on-book relations are generally pretextual: the adapted text as point of departure, as party in a dialogue, as measure of a difference, as mirror. Beau travail has two pretexts, a book and a film: Melville’s Billy Budd, Sailor (1891) and Godard’s Le petit soldat (1960). The first is the kind of pretext familiar from cinematic adaptations of literary works, though it is made strange by reference to an intermediate operatic adaptation (Britten’s Billy Budd). The second is of a quite unfamiliar kind, a variant of cinematic pretextuality that may be peculiar to Beau travail. Most comparable instances of character and actor reappearing in a different director’s film would be from sequels or episodes in series,2 but though Michel Subor plays Bruno Forestier in both films, Beau travail is not, in narrative terms, a sequel to Le petit soldat. A more exact idea of the film-on-film relations that bind the two films is the object of this article. ‘Pretext and intertext’ is not a categorical distinction: pretextuality is just over- determined intertextuality.

  • Notes and References
    Notes and References CHAPTER 1 To provide an intellectual and cultural framework for examining Carol Reed's films, a history of the British cinema from its origins through to the Second World War is offered in this chapter. Although Reed began directing in 1935, 1939 seemed a tidier, more logical cut-off point for the survey. All the information in the chapter is synthesized from several excellent works on the subject: Roy Armes's A Critical History of the British Cinema, Ernest Betts' The Film Business, Ivan Butler's Cinema in Britain, Denis Gifford's British Film Catalogue, Rachel Low's History of the British Film, and George Perry's The Great British Picture Show.

Createspace, United States, 2015. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Charters and Caldicott - As War Begins First appearing on British cinema screens in 1938, the characters of Charters and Caldicott are amongst film history s most famous and favourite comedy duo. From their first appearance in Hitchcock s The Lady Vanishes, Charters and Caldicott hit a resonance with cinema goers with their charming notes of sarcasm and dry humour. This initial popularity resulted in the two characters being reunited in several films throughout the 1940 s and early 1950 s. Full of British idiosyncrasies from a bygone era, the two cricket lovers are sticklers for upholding proper standards of dress, decorum and behaviour; no matter where they are or what predicament they find themselves in. Leading characters in The Lady Vanishes film, they went on to re-appear in other classic films including Night Train To Munich, Millions Like Us and Passport to Pimlico.
