  • Dixie Ort Film
    • • CHAPTER 4 Dixie ort Film "As all cinema observers knew, it was time for a cycle to come along. An- other is here—the Deep South cycle, you might call it. Producers and writers alike have turned their attention to the aspects of Dixie, and there's scarcely a studio in Hollywood that hasn't a story of the South in produc- tion." Thus began a 1936 editorial in the New York Times entitled "Sowing the South Forty." Of course, Gone with the Wind, Margaret Mitchell's best- selling novel about the Civil War, was credited with starting the cycle. By the time of this December editorial the book had sold more than 1 million copies—less than seven months after its publication. To capitalize on the book's success, there were several films about the Old South in produc- tion. Mitchell's story, and especially its protagonist, so resonated with the American public that New York Times film critic Frank Nugent observed that "casting Scarlett became a game the entire nation played." German- born director Kurt Neumann, who later made The Fly (1958), was inter- viewed for the New York Times' piece. "Call it a cycle," Neumann said, but "the fact is the South is one of the best subjects Hollywood has ever had for sustained interest." Neumann, director of Rainbow on the River (1936), a film set in New Orleans, predicted that "some of the greatest pictures of the future will be placed in a Southern setting," adding that "we are just beginning to understand the South."1 Although the New York Times may have regarded the emphasis on southern films coming out of Hollywood as a cycle, the fact was there had been numerous films set in the South prior to the publication of Mitchell's novel.
