" Challenges the tendency to characterize the 1950's as an inactive period of domesticity and anxiety and instead contends that the 1950's provided the impetus for the counterculture that defined the 1960's and ethnic revivals that characterized the 1970's. Although the arts of the era did reflect the frailties of the human condition and the hysteria of the Cold War and McCarthyism, technological developments, the emergence of rock and roll music, and new artistic focuses also signaled the beginning of a new era. Actors Marlon Brando and James Dean and Beat poets Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac reflected both the emphasis on authenticity and the rebelliousness that characterized the generation."

An analysis of the films has revealed that the movie industry was not prepared to discard the societal norms of the decade. The motion pictures have only represented the industry's ability to capitalize on social issues and the public's curiosity on the youth's responses to these issues, as portrayed by actors Marlon Brando and James Dean, in promoting social values during that period."

Through discussion of Howard Hawks's Red River and John Ford's My Darling Clementine, it shows how the western was well suited to convey important ideological rationales for postwar U.S. foreign policy, including the inevitability of American expansion and the strategies for hegemony that guided the Truman administration's foreign policy."

They reflected the social values believed to be in hazard during the Cold War and underscore the role popular culture plays in the assimilation of values and change." [America History and Life]

"The conception of the body as a collection of rebellious parts is a popular one in a certain set of horror films of the 1950s [H]and early 1960s. These films reflect the popular understanding of genetics, DNA, [H]and heredity, a discourse that greatly influenced the conception of the body. Changes in genetic science, fostered by the political [H]and social climate of the 1950s, enact a shift in the discourse of embodiment [H]and imbue the body with a somatic unconscious. Repressed within this unconscious is everything that is deemed "unhealthy" [H]and "abnormal," categories that are linked to race [H]and racial differnce due to the interplay between genetic science [H]and eugenic philosophy. These films then enact a nightmare of eugenic fears, fears that demand extensive measures of control, although these measures ultimately prove futile. These body-rebellion films return the body to a "purified" state through the xenophobic excision of the offensive, dangerous element thorugh a kind of violent therapy."

"The Stories Told in Science Fiction and Social Science: Reading The Thing and Other Remakes From Two Eras." Sociological Quarterly, 34:4 Nov 1993, pp: 619+
"Author's Abstract: COPYRIGHT 1993 University of California Press. We re-examine science fiction films of the 1950s (made during the cold war), and their remakes in the 1970s and 1980s (made in the post-sixties, after Vietnam and Watergate) in conjunction with stories told by social scientists during the same eras. In this light, we provide a subversive reading of social scientific data sets and science fiction films, and pay special attention to both versions of The Thing (1951, 1982) as relevant examples of cold war and post-sixties statements. Social scientific and film productions of the 1950s correlate with optimistic public sentiments of the cold war era in regard to the abilities of the military, government, and medicine to solve social problems. The more recent reproductions conjure images of a much more pessimistic view of institutions. We suggest by way of a conclusion that readings of social scientific products, science fiction films, and their remakes can inform social theories in general and postmodern social theories in particular."

Author's Abstract: COPYRIGHT SF-TH Inc. 1995 "The two film versions of Invaders from Mars provide crucial insight into the historical trajectory of suburbanization in the United States. Beneath its surface confidence in the postwar suburban project as a geographical resolution of abiding class conflict, the first film, released in 1953 during escalating Cold War preparedness, evinces deep-seated anxieties about the ethical implications of suburbia's essential dependence upon militarist power. The remake, released in 1986 at the height of Ronald Reagan's reinvigoration of the military-industrial foundations of suburban life, offers a pointed satire of contemporary suburbia's jingoistic antagonism toward alien 'others' - a mistrust which bespeaks a growing racial division within U.S. society that is the historical fallout of the suburbanization process. Both films display the power of the cinematic genre of science fiction to condense complex historical developments into visually arresting - even prophetic." [Expanded Academic Index]

"The writer examines film gris (gray films), a category of film classified in 1985 by scholar Thom Anderson. Anderson suggested that the most significant achievements of the filmmakers blacklisted in the late 1940s and early 1950s were released between the Hollywood Ten hearings of October 1947 and the resumption of investigations by the House on Un-American Activities in Hollywood in 1951. He identified directors who created a small group of films characterized by a combination of crime and social critique, which he labeled film gris. The writer considers the notion of film gris in relation to two films on the list, Joseph Losey's The Prowler and John Berry's He Ran All the Way (both 1951), focusing on contextual concerns, especially on the backgrounds and political engagements of key creative personnel and of the shifts in the film industry that made it possible, albeit hard, for them to make the films they wanted. He examines the films and the vision of American society they portray, what happened to them and their filmmakers after the films were released, and what the films suggest about the relationship between film gris and film noir."

Author's Abstract: COPYRIGHT 2004 Australian Film, Television and Radio School "This article examines whether, and in what way, anti-communism was a factor in the slow development of an Australian film industry in the 1950s and early 1960s and in the kind of film culture developed in Australia, particularly through film festivals. In particular it examines the activities of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) towards left and liberal filmmakers and film lovers. It briefly examines the effect of anti-communism on the struggle for Australian content by Actors' Equity in the early years of television."

"'Keep the Coffee Hot, Hugo': Nuclear Trauma in Lang's 'The Big Heat.'" Film Criticism v21, n3 (Spring, 1997):43 (23 pages)
"The writer argues that the violence in Fritz Lang's 1953 movie "The Big Heat" emerges from a cultural anxiety over nuclear proliferation that permeated early 1950s American culture, particularly the film noir. He begins with a comparison of the movie with its novel version by William P. McGivern, arguing that whereas the novel connects the nuclear to issues of race, the movie forges the relationship between atomic energy and gender. He explains that in the film, a crime syndicate plants a car bomb that kills the protagonist's wife; the filming of the explosion resembles an atomic blast and does not show the bomb's damage, thus connecting the car bombing to a cliche common to 1950s films featuring the detonation of a nuclear device. Moreover, he notes that the scarring of the female character Debbie by means of hot coffee thrown at her face by her boyfriend suggests the consequences of radiation poisoning." [Art Index]

"Imagined Authority: Blackboard Jungle And The Project Of Educational Liberalism."Paedagogica Historica [Belgium] 2000 36(1): 407-424.
"The 1955 movie Blackboard Jungle portrayed the efforts of high school teacher Richard Dadier to overcome his students' resistance to the regime of the school. At the same time, Blackboard Jungle inaugurated the use of rock and roll music in movies, thereby heralding the emergence of a distinct youth culture. Representations of youth and schooling were uniquely suited to capture the anxieties that arose out of American familial, economic, and political conflicts in the 1950's. By synthesizing matters of male and state authority in an ambivalent blend of rebellion and social control, Blackboard Jungle articulated the ambiguities of the liberal ideology that schooling and the state more broadly could simultaneously ensure individual freedom and contain social conflicts. Blackboard Jungle's gendered narrative was mirrored in academic research into the causes of juvenile delinquency, in differing career paths for men and women educators, and in attacks on progressive curricula. By combining an examination of the film's narrative and visual technique with an analysis of its reception, this article explores the liberal ideology that has shaped American schooling."

Main Stack PN1995.9.P6.P72 2001
For decades American cinema has mirrored and promoted the postmodern anxieties and paranoid perceptions embedded in our society. Tapping into the moviegoing audience's own projected fears, many Hollywood films seem to confirm our belief that there are indeed secret sinister forces at work and that our lives are at risk because of them. Pratt revisits blockbusters and cult favorites alike and shows how their images of conspiracy have been fostered by the public's increasing distrust of large organizations, producing in turn a cinematic "narrative of resistance" that challenges the status quo. He offers Seven Days in May and Dr. Strangelove as signposts of Cold War hysteria; Chinatown, The Conversation, and Missing as clear reflections of our distrust of political and corporate elites in the wake of Vietnam and Watergate; and Blue Velvet and The Stepfather as dark countermyths to the "family values" touted by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. He also considers gender paranoia in films like Klute, Fatal Attraction, and Silence of the Lambs and reminds us that sometimes, as in Serpico, our guardian police forces need a bit of guarding themselves."

" Examines Cold War film propaganda in the 1950's, when the cinema was enjoying its last period as the dominant visual mass entertainment form in both the West and the East. This article concentrates on the role that religion played as a theme of propaganda, primarily in British and American movies, but also in some of the Soviet films released during the decade. The article explores the relationship between film output and state propagandists to show how religious themes were incorporated into films dealing with Cold War issues and considers how audiences received the messages contained within these films. The article therefore builds on scholarship of the 1990's that highlights the importance of ideas and culture during the Cold War by looking at the adoption and adaptation of religion as a tool of propaganda."

"The First Hollywood Blacklist: The Major Studios Deal With The Conference Of Studio Unions, 1941-47." Southern California Quarterly 1995 77(3): 215-253.
"Traces the struggle between the conservative International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees (IATSE) and the liberal Conference of Studio Unions (CSU) for control of the craftsmen employed by the motion picture studios in Los Angeles between 1941 and 1947. The studios preferred recognition of IATSE locals, whose leaders accused the CSU of supporting communism and violence. The strikes of 1945 and 1946 brought local government, the studios, and the IATSE into a coalition against the CSU. By 1947 the CSU had lost the battle, its leaders branded as Communists and many workers siding with the IATSE just to preserve their jobs and status." [from ABC-CLIO America: History & Life]

"For over 15 years, scores of Hollywood performers, writers, producers, and directors were forbidden from working in their craft owing to their real or alleged previous contacts with left-wing ideologies. Their condition resulted in many personal tragedies, including broken friendships and marriages and the destruction of careers. Only in recent years have some of those victimized been able to return to their professions. Many of those "blacklisted" emigrated to Europe or Mexico where they either participated in native entertainment enterprises or continued to write for the Hollywood market under assumed names. Excerpts from the correspondence of screen writer Dalton Trumbo illustrate the problems inherent in the latter. Others remained in the United States and either retired or assumed other occupations."

Kazan's 1999 honorary Oscar award has raised the hackles of the families of those he 'named' before the House Un-American Activities Committee during the McCarthy witchhunt of 1954. Blacklisted and banned from making movies, former filmmaker Carl Foreman was among those he identified as former Communists, which ruined his career for good.

"Martin Ritt's The Front and Irwin Winkler's Guilty By Suspicion are two of the most notable exceptions to the rare screen treatments of stories of Hollywood and the blacklist. Both are set in the early 1950s, and the dramatic climax of each film involves the hero being asked to inform on others. The Front stars Woody Allen as a lunch-counter cashier and small-time bookie who pretends to be the author of television scripts written by blacklisted writers until he is called before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC). Guilty by Suspicion stars Robert De Niro as director David Merrill, whose successful career is interrupted when he is named as a Communist and blacklisted by the studios. Both films feature nonpolitical heros who refuse to cooperate with the HUAC in the climactic final scenes." [Art Index]

" On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the hearings into the Communist influence in Hollywood by the House Committee on Un-American Activities in Washington, the writer discusses "The Blacklist & the Cold War," an article he wrote for The New York Times in 1976. The article examines the Hollywood blacklist in relation to Woody Allen's film The Front, David Helpern's documentary Hollywood on Trial, and Lillian Hellman's book Scoundrel Time. These works, he claims, present the issue of blacklisting as a simple matter of good guys versus bad guys, whereby all the virtue is accorded to those who denied the government the right to investigate what it thought to be threats to its security."

"An examination of how the Hollywood blacklist evolved out of andaffected economic conditions. Contending that the blacklist savedHollywood, the writer focuses on the ways in which collusive strategiesput in place to control the film industry workforce in 1947 enabled thestudios to regain control over the entertainment marketplace after WorldWar II. He discusses how the U.S. House Committee on Un-AmericanActivities, by giving the studios lists of unionized workers who could be fired without cause, helped the studios better manage the uncertain labor situation and cut expenses and payrolls. Stating that the blacklist encouraged studio owners to develop and adopt a corporate model, he considers how it enabled the Motion Picture Association of America to replace the contract system with one far better suited for business in postindustrial, postwar America and much more suitable ethnically and politically for dealing with the federal government in the 1940s and 1950s."

Ritt is a rarity in Hollywood because he insists on making only movies that he cares about. His films, which include Hud, Sounder, Norma Rae, and The Front, frequently focus on racial and labor problems. During the McCarthy era, Ritt was blacklisted for alleged Communist activities and was forced to teach at the Actors Studio. He decries Hollywood's current preoccupation with making profitable but valueless films and believes that true artists will eventually return to humanistic themes." [Art Index]

Hollywood was one of the most visible battlefields for the debate over the perceived threat of a Soviet Communist takeover of America. The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) subpoenaed many film industry witnesses during its investigations, many of whom were later blacklisted either for being found "unfriendly"--left-wing--or for refusing to incriminate others, resulting in many ruined careers. Many films have been made about these events: Some, such as the 1952 Big Jim McLain, made when Senator Joseph McCarthy was at his most popular, laud HUAC's activities; others, such as the 1991 Guilty by Suspicion, embrace the contemporary viewpoint, concentrating on the horror of the inquisition and the blacklist. The latter appears to serve as a somewhat standard and lukewarm warning to today's society to be mindful of basic human rights at a time in which conservative dogma is rising." [Art Index]

"The writer reviews a number of books about the Hollywood Blacklist of the 1950s, among them Edward Dmytryk's Odd Man Out: A Memoir of the Hollywood Ten and Walter Bernstein's Inside Out: A Memoir of the Blacklist. Dmytryk's book exposes the hypocrisy and corrupt behavior that the Hollywood communists often engaged in and also provides many examples of the Communist Party's dictatorial means of controlling its members. Bernstein viewed the Soviet Union through the rose-colored glasses of sentimental socialism: His book is a first-rate example of retrospective literary exculpation." [Art Index]

Red Hollywood[videorecording]
Film fragments and interviews provide a survey of the filmwork created by the victims of the Hollywood Blacklist. Includes Alfred Levitt, Paul Jarrico, John Berry, Joseph Losey, Dalton Trumbo, Cy Endfield and Abraham Polonsky who were involved as directors and/or writers. An effort has been made to separate the authors' ideology from their contributions to Hollywood cinema. This is not a film about their politics or their martyrdom. In the film, excerpts that follow credits are limited to screenwriters and directors who were Communists, ex-Communists, and occasional sympathizers.

" The Hollywood blacklist for screenwriters was drawn up in the 1950s when some writers, directors and producers refused to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee. The contemporary Writers Guild of America (WGA) is seeking recognition and due compensation for some blacklisted writers by forming the Blacklisted Writers Committee. Since the blacklist was eliminated in 1965, however, only seven blacklisted writers have been given credit for their work by the WGA, including Dalton Trumbo for 'Roman Holiday' and Carl Foreman and Michael Wilson for 'Bridge on the River Kwai.'"

"Guilty by omission: political aspects of filmmaking: the study of film directors." Film Comment v. 27 (September/October 1991) p. 42-6+
"Recent research has sought to correct the tendency of American film criticism and historiography to ignore or depoliticize films of social protest. A recent biography of director Nicholas Ray redresses the conventional limited view of his career by putting his films of the 1950s in the context of his radical background in the 1930s and 1940s and by tracing the persistence of his radicalism after his break with commercial filmmaking in 1963. Received wisdom has it that the filmmakers victimized during the Hollywood anti-Communist blacklist were chiefly hacks whose politics were irrelevant to their work, but a reevaluation of blacklisted directors Cyril Endfield and John Berry suggests a different story. Endfield's The Underworld Story (1950) and Try and Get Me! (1951) are corrosive works of social criticism, and Berry's From This Day Forward (1946) and Claudine (1974) portray the experience of urban poverty with feeling and insight.

"Traces the efforts to obtain an official judgment against the blacklisting of writers, actors, and directors by the motion picture industry. The famous Hollywood Ten actually included over 200 artists adversely affected by the Hollywood blacklist from 1948 until - for some - the 1970's. The litigation endured numerous obstacles, including lack of funds, the difficulty of proving the existence of an official blacklist, and adverse court decisions. Further hampering the effort was the view of some blacklisted writers such as Dalton Trumbo who held that everyone had suffered and that there could only be victims. Trumbo, disgusted with the legal maneuvering involved in the courts, called for individual rather than collective effort. The entire campaign was characterized by a lack of collective support, reluctance to reignite the controversy, and self-interest. The case, which began in 1960 with demands for $7.65 million in damages, was settled out of court in 1965 for $100,000. Suggests not only that Communists made no impression in Hollywood before 1947, but also that the blacklistees demonstrated a clear lack of radicalism in their efforts to reinstate themselves in the motion picture industry."
