Let's Hear It For Black And White Films

[foha80]

(AndrewLA @ Apr 3 2006, 09:14 PM) Several events and people converged around the same time. Prior to Murrow's broadcast, President Eisenhower blocked McCarthy's attempt to investigate the CIA; he was convinced that the Senator would quickly shoot himself in the foot. This McCarthy did when he investigated the U.S. Army and lawyer Joseph Welch (less than a month after Murrow's show) skillfully humiliated him in public hearings that were broadcast on TV. If you have to identify any single figure (always dangerous with history), it would likely be Welch, not Murrow, who defeated McCarthy ("Have you no sense of decency left?"), whose allies in the media and the House of Representatives and the Senate all deserted him. The Senate then voted overwhelmingly to censure him and strip him of power. ...

American Rhetoric: McCarthy-Welch Exchange During the Army-McCarthy Hearings

[Steve Crook]

(AndrewLA @ Apr 3 2006, 09:14 PM) GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK -- very fine film. But like many based-on-fact movies, it tends to smooth out the facts. Murrow was far from alone in standing up to McCarthy. Several events and people converged around the same time. Prior to Murrow's broadcast, President Eisenhower blocked McCarthy's attempt to investigate the CIA; he was convinced that the Senator would quickly shoot himself in the foot. This McCarthy did when he investigated the U.S. Army and lawyer Joseph Welch (less than a month after Murrow's show) skillfully humiliated him in public hearings that were broadcast on TV. If you have to identify any single figure (always dangerous with history), it would likely be Welch, not Murrow, who defeated McCarthy ("Have you no sense of decency left?"), whose allies in the media and the House of Representatives and the Senate all deserted him. The Senate then voted overwhelmingly to censure him and strip him of power. So all praise to Murrow for helping break McCarthy, but, contrary to the GOOD NIGHT, other people were simultaneously and actively working to bring the Senator down, and they did. The movie is also somewhat disingenuous about how "alone" Murrow was within CBS. By 1954, decisions about network news content were already being made mostly by the staffs of the shows, not management, the board of directors or owners of the networks. Murrow was a star. Friendly was a star producer. They were already opinion-makers in a sense, and had already established a tradition of presenting independent public affairs shows. Their audience wanted them to take a stand and challenge authority. And this trend continued into the 60s and 70s, right up to today when show-makers and presenters tend to make the decisions, not management. Murrow was already part of that tradition when he faced off against McCarthy. He wasn't quite as "alone" or at risk as the movie suggests. None of which is meant to imply thaat Murrow wasn't a great man and a great broadcaster. His like will never be seen again. Now I'm going to get my head down to avoid all the pies thrown my way...

I haven't (yet) seen Good Night, and Good Luck. But the 1986 TV movie Murrow with Daniel J. Travanti (from Hill Street Blues) as Murrow certainly made it clear that he had a lot of support within CBS. Particularly from his producer, Fred Friendly. That also covered Murrow's work at the BBC during the war very well.

Odd that the cast list for Good Night, and Good Luck. doesn't seem to include another young polititian who made an early name for himself on HUAC, Richard Nixon.

[ChristineCB]

The latest-produced B&W film I saw was THE LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA, which is one of the rare "10" or perfect films.

Not to say this is a GOOD film. Because it's not.

But the filmmakers set a goal to parody the awful drive-in films of the '50s and they accomplished it perfectly. There were stretches of banal dialog that were so bad that I wouldn't have believed a writer would have dared commit them to paper, nor could I believe modern actors could deliver them so well.

The acting alone is a hallmark to either lobotomies or a skill-level that defied the hysteria which the cast and crew had to be go thru.

I'm priviliged to have seen these....two delightful short documentaries by the legendary Humphrey Jennings. The first is a just slightly tongue in cheek look at the creation of the Norman Hartnell (Or was it Cecil Beaton?) collection for the spring of 1938....perfect vehicle for a new colour process of course.
English Harvest is little known ...but it's the most beautiful evocation of rural England immediately before the needs of war rationalised farming methods into industrial-style practice....and to have it in the slightly fuzzy, slightly faded Dufaycolour process somehow adds to the atmosphere of seeing a lost time through the haze of seventy years elapsed...

A lot of these films sound absolutely fascinating - no chance of them being more widely available I suppose? I dream of the day when all films are available on a resource to be downloaded on demand

This is an example, possibly? Renown Pictures library, as pointed out by JamesM on another thread Welcome to Renown Pictures

If that was made available for download, would they make more money from it than they do currently?
