10 PICTURE START

11 The Cinema Fights Back Television becomes a rival Hollywood needs to develop new tricks House Committee of Un-American Activities is at its peak (black lists 212 people)

12 TELEVISION Early 50s, 50% had tvs in home Samuel Goldwyn: Why should people go out and pay money to see bad films when they can stay at home and see bad television for nothing. Warner Bros seldom mentioned TV in their films, nor would be seen (was taboo)

13 Old Tricks, New Tricks >> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >>

14 Drive-Ins Was introduced in 30s Flourished in 1950s B horror films 4000 drive ins by 1960 teenagers

15 Originally known as NATURAL VISION 3-D First film...slogan was A Lion in your lap Huge profits...small investments Hollywood produced about 30 a year Glasses become annoying, many films re-released as flat films

16

17 Stretching the Screen >> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >>

18 Cinerama 1952 you will be gazing at a movie screen you ll find yourself swept right into the picture, surrounded by sight and sound Was a series of three curved screens to cover 140 degrees. Required 3 projectionists and thousands in invest...short lived Comparable to IMAX of today

19 1953 Century Fox Expand the size CinemaScope The Robe with Richard Burton was the first CinemaScope feature

20

21 Dramatization of Cinemascope >> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >>

22 Cinemascope By the end of 1953, every major studio was using CinemaScope Except Paramount, it was using VISTAVISION

23 VistaVision shown horizontally instead of vertically >> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >>

24 CinemaScope losses Very expensive Movies were spectacle and seldom recouped costs Was turning point for WIDESCREEN and what we know today

25 The movies MATURE Because of TV, film became more adult based and dealt with controversial issues Words such as virgin and seduce were not allowed on tv...but could be heard on film at the movies Many films were released without approval of the Production Code s Seal of Approval

26 At its height HUAC In 1954, the public was able to see the hearings on TV and realized what they really were...witch hunts (Good Night and Good Luck)

27 Hollywood Themes Native Americans (Broken Arrow 1950) sympathitically treated Racial intolerance examined in No Way Out (1950) Juvenile delinquency in Blackboard Jungle (1955) and the use of Rock and Roll as soundtrack Drug addiction (Man with the Golden Arm) Anti military statements (Paths of Glory) >> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >>

28 Studios Changing Steep decline in audience Converted studios were beginning to produce more hours for tv Studio structure was weakening Some studios (MGM) produced their best (forced to be extra good at doing their stuff )

29 Interesting facts Howard Hughes bought RKO was sold to Desilu Producutions in A company owned by Lucille Ball Studios reinvented the stars (after planted affairs ~ Frank Sinatra for example) Bette Davis (rivals with other female stars)

30 Hip New Stars New youthful star on screen, made it possible that they lived next door Marlon Brando (anti conformist) James Dean (rebel) They were able to attract a new type of youngster to the cinema. New heros, less clean cut

31 Singin In the Rain Considered the apogee of MGM musicals Is a delightful mixture of nostalgia and affectionate satire on the turmoil and triumphs that marked the transition from silent films to talkies. In one part of the plot, Debbie Reynolds sparking in her first role, has to dub the voice of Lina Lamont, a movie star from the silent eta, because Lina s voice was round to be risibly squeaky for sound movies. Ironically, Debbie s singing voice was dubbed by Betty Royce who remained uncredited. >> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >>

32 Good Night and Good Luck >> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >>

33 Assignment TVs are everywhere. How many do you have in your home? How often do you go to the movies? In your opinion, what are the major differences between TV movies and Films today? Why do you go to the movies? Why do you watch TV? Musicals are making their way back to the screen. Why do you think that? Do you like them? What are the major differences between old musicals and new musicals? Make sure you research and cite your research. WATCH A NEW MUSICAL TO COMMENT ON. DUE APRIL 24th. >> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >>
