  • Author : Catherine Jurca
  • Publisher : Univ of California Press
  • Release : 2012-03-28
  • ISBN : 0520951964
  • Pages : 284 pages

Download or read book Hollywood 1938 written by Catherine Jurca and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012-03-28 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hollywood 1938, Catherine Jurca brings to light a tumultuous year of crisis that has been neglected in histories of the studio era. With attendance in decline, negative publicity about stars that were "poison at the box office," and a spate of bad films, industry executives decided that the public was fed up with the movies. Jurca describes their desperate attempt to win back audiences by launching Motion Pictures’ Greatest Year, a massive, and unsuccessful, public relations campaign conducted in theaters and newspapers across North America. Drawing on the records of studio personnel, independent exhibitors, moviegoers, and the motion pictures themselves, she analyzes what was wrong—and right—with Hollywood at the end of a heralded decade, and how the industry’s troubles changed the making and marketing of films in 1938 and beyond.

It is a tale torn straight from the yellowed pages of history deep in the heart of small-town Texas. Names, dates and places have been changed to protect the innocent...if there be any. Love should be magnetic. Did time begin when two lips melted as one under the hot Texas sun? How did the dusty ticking of the clock wrap itself so tightly around destiny? The heart quickens as the arrow strikes home. Adonis weeps once more. Somewhere in the depths of the searing myth the truth beckons from the cold empty grave. They will roof their temples with the sculls of their victims. What's the good of courage to the snared hare? If he moves, he dies, if he does not move, he dies.

  • Author : Brian Godawa
  • Publisher : InterVarsity Press
  • Release : 2011-11-02
  • ISBN : 0830869530
  • Pages : 266 pages

Download or read book Hollywood Worldviews written by Brian Godawa and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2011-11-02 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you watch movies with your eyes open? You buy your tickets and concessions, and you walk into the theater. Celluloid images flash at twenty-four frames per second, and the hypnotic sequence of moving pictures coaxes you to suspend disbelief and be entertained by the implausible. Unfortunately, many often suspend their beliefs as well, succumbing to subtle lessons in how to behave, think and even perceive reality. Do you find yourself hoping that a sister will succeed in seducing her sibling's husband, that a thief will get away with his crime, that a serial killer will escape judgment? Do you, too, laugh at the bumbling priest and seethe at the intolerant and abusive evangelist? Do you embrace worldviews that infect your faith and then wonder, after your head is clear, whether your faith can survive the infection? In this thoroughly revised and updated edition of his popular book, Brian Godawa guides you through the place of redemption in film, the tricks screenwriters use to communicate their messages, and the mental and spiritual discipline required for watching movies. Hollywood Worldviews helps you enter a dialogue with Hollywood that leads to a happier ending, one that keeps you aware of your culture and awake to your faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, Screen World has been the film professional's, as well as the film buff's, favorite and indispensable annual screen resource, full of all the necessary statistics and facts. Now Screen World editor Barry Monush has compiled another comprehensive work for every film lover's library. In the first of two volumes, this book chronicles the careers of every significant film actor, from the earliest silent screen stars – Chaplin, Pickford, Fairbanks – to the mid-1960s, when the old studio and star systems came crashing down. Each listing includes: a brief biography, photos from the famed Screen World archives, with many rare shots; vital statistics; a comprehensive filmography; and an informed, entertaining assessment of each actor's contributions – good or bad! In addition to every major player, Monush includes the legions of unjustly neglected troupers of yesteryear. The result is a rarity: an invaluable reference tool that's as much fun to read as a scandal sheet. It pulsates with all the scandal, glamour, oddity and glory that was the lifeblood of its subjects. Contains over 1 000 photos!

Book Romans

    Book Details:
  • Author : R. C. Sproul
  • Publisher : Crossway
  • Release : 2009-10-01
  • ISBN : 1433523272
  • Pages : 517 pages

Download or read book Romans written by R. C. Sproul and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sproul's sermons at St. Andrew's Chapel are the foundation of these never-before-published expositions on Paul's epistle to the Romans. Chrysostom had it read aloud to him once a week. Augustine, Luther, and Wesley all came to assured faith through its impact. The Reformers saw it as the God-given key to understanding the whole of Scripture. Throughout church history the study of the book of Romans has been pivotal to understanding Christian life and doctrine. Convinced that "Paul's fullest, grandest, most comprehensive statement of the gospel" is just as vital today, R. C. Sproul delivered nearly sixty sermons on Romans from October 2005 to April 2007 at St. Andrew's Chapel, where he has pastored for more than a decade. These never-before-published, passage-by-passage expositions will enrich any study of this weighty epistle. Part of the St. Andrew's Expositional Commentaries series.

Book Pre Code Hollywood

    Book Details:
  • Author : Thomas Doherty
  • Publisher : Columbia University Press
  • Release : 1999-08-27
  • ISBN : 9780231500128
  • Pages : 450 pages

Download or read book Pre Code Hollywood written by Thomas Doherty and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1999-08-27 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pre-Code Hollywood explores the fascinating period in American motion picture history from 1930 to 1934 when the commandments of the Production Code Administration were violated with impunity in a series of wildly unconventional films—a time when censorship was lax and Hollywood made the most of it. Though more unbridled, salacious, subversive, and just plain bizarre than what came afterwards, the films of the period do indeed have the look of Hollywood cinema—but the moral terrain is so off-kilter that they seem imported from a parallel universe. In a sense, Doherty avers, the films of pre-Code Hollywood are from another universe. They lay bare what Hollywood under the Production Code attempted to cover up and push offscreen: sexual liaisons unsanctified by the laws of God or man, marriage ridiculed and redefined, ethnic lines crossed and racial barriers ignored, economic injustice exposed and political corruption assumed, vice unpunished and virtue unrewarded—in sum, pretty much the raw stuff of American culture, unvarnished and unveiled. No other book has yet sought to interpret the films and film-related meanings of the pre-Code era—what defined the period, why it ended, and what its relationship was to the country as a whole during the darkest years of the Great Depression... and afterward.

Book Clark Gable in the 1930s

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1930s represented the strongest and most significant decade in Clark Gable's career. Later known as The King of Hollywood, Gable started out as a journeyman actor who quickly rose to the level of star, and then icon. With his ruggedly attractive looks and effortless charisma, Gable was the sort of manly romantic lead that bolstered features alongside the likes of Jean Harlow, Joan Crawford, and Spencer Tracy. The decade culminated with Gable's most noted movie, Gone With the Wind. This book traces Gable's early career, film-by-film, offering background information and a critical assessment of each of his movies released during the 1930s.
