Defying critical skepticism and popular ageism and confronting the public's enduring memory of her screen image, she achieved new heights in her lucrative and award-winning turn onstage. This essay examines the show's production history from the vantage point of Bacall's own archives, placing personal writing in conversation with press coverage to trace how the star leveraged theatrical success to reinvent herself as a \"living legend\" of Old Hollywood.","PeriodicalId":426632,"journal":{"name":"Film History: An International Journal","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134335632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some historians have maintained that Paul was largely responsible for their creation, while others argue that they were the work of stage magician Walter Robert Booth. Although Paul's life and career has been fully documented by Dr. John Barnes and Professor Ian Christie, little has previously been known about Booth. New research strongly suggest that Booth was responsible for many of the films and that his influence can be detected in numerous aspects of their production.","PeriodicalId":426632,"journal":{"name":"Film History: An International Journal","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116607442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lung Kong utilizes the crime film to challenge the dominant values of law and order and investigate how the system of colonial capitalist power in Hong Kong impacted social experience.

These unusual maps, popular in the 1930s and associated with Paramount Studios, presented those locations within California that could plausibly substitute for another world location onscreen (e.g., the Sierra Nevada mountain range could stand in for the Alps as a background in a film). In this article, I analyze a sequence of these maps, arguing that the global juxtapositions and cinematic superimpositions that they create were only possible within a specific historical context, namely (1) the formalization of the role of the location manager as that profession evolved within the studio system and location shooting in California; (2) a particular form of place-based tourist marketing for California that claimed a global variety of geographies within the state; (3) the importance of the idea of place to Paramount Studios in these years, and how this related to a contemporaneous boom in California place-naming; and (4) the simultaneous rise of pictorial maps, a kind of cartography that joined illustration and caricature.","PeriodicalId":426632,"journal":{"name":"Film History: An International Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125690617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kleine released on average no more than two reels of half a dozen Gaumont and Eclipse fiction and nonfiction films per week, and those reels went to exchanges largely in the Midwest and Northeast but hardly any in the Southeast and Southwest. A few trade press and newspaper references suggest that Kleine films were shown mostly in small theaters in small towns and often for only a single day’s screening. Their circulation confirms, along with the parallel reduction of imports from Pathé-Frères, that French films no longer could dominate the American movie market. They also indicate that although the company’s business seemed stable, Kleine realized it was in crisis and soon would explore ways of distributing different kinds of films.","PeriodicalId":426632,"journal":{"name":"Film History: An International Journal","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132469499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
