Download or read book The Movies Greatest Musicals Produced in Hollywood USA by the Freed Unit written by Hugh Fordin and published by Frederick Ungar. This book was released on 1984 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wizard of Oz, Singin' in the Rain, Easter Parade, Gigi. These and many other classics of the American musical film were the products of Arthur Freed and his incredble MGM production unit, which ruled over Hollywood's golden age like a royal family. Freed brought together the top talent of the day - actors, writers, directors, choreographers, composers, and set designers - and gave them all the freedom to express themselves creatively and without concern for the usual constraints of monet, time, location, and equipment. The results are the films that will still have people singing and dancing for generations to come. Now, in anecdotes drawn from over 500 hours of taped interviews, studio documents, and with over 300 photographs, Hugh Fordin brings the Freed Unit together again for a nostalgic and fascinating look back at what happened - and what might have happened - in the movies' greatest musicals.

Download or read book Jews and Entertainment in the Ancient World written by Loren R. Spielman and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countering the traditional belief that Jews in antiquity were predominantly disinterested in the popular entertainments of the Greek and Roman world, Loren R. Spielman maps the varieties of Jewish engagement with theater, athletics, horse racing, gladiatorial, and beast shows in antiquity. The author argues that Jews from Hellenistic Alexandria to late antique Sepphoris enjoyed and exploited, or alternatively resisted and scorned, popular forms of public entertainment as they adapted to the political, social, and religious realities of imperial rule. Including references to ancient Jewish actors, athletes, promoters, and plays alongside analysis of rabbinic and other early Jewish critique of sport and spectacle, Loren R. Spielmandescribes the different ways that attitudes towards entertainment might have played a role in shaping ancient Jewish identity.

This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Communications - Media Economics, Media Management, grade: 2,0, Technical University of Ilmenau (Institute of Media and Communication Science), course: Organisational Communication, 36 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Globalisation can be recognized in different areas of the society. In the course of globalisation the national television markets will cumulatively be linked with each other. According to this the world is also getting close in the television-area. Different companies are following different strategies with different success. In the discourse of globalisation the dominance of western culture and his consumer society are often criticized. Another point are the tendencies of homogeneity of civilisations. These occur as a result of processes of standardization and lead to an affiliation of cultures. According to this, local traditions could be substituted step by step if the behavoiur of consumers and other fields of everyday occurrences adapt one another. The entertainment industry plays a special role in that context. It helps to develop and distribute the products in a commerical way especially in the fields of television, film, music, books and pc-games. The entertainment industry applies as mediator from different kinds and different worlds of living (cf. Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung 2006, website). Entertainment programmes are meanwhile seen to be effective in popularity and attractiveness. They regularly achieve high viewing figures. Within the entertainment section the international trading with specific broadcasting programmes has risen a lot. Since the meaning of the international formattrading has risen, a well known reality format is "Big Brother" (distributed in 23 countries) (cf. Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung 2006, p. 9 and Hamilton/ Stevenson 2005, website). The Inventor is the endemol company which plays an important role in connection to the formatt
