Dorothy Arzner wasn’t the first female film director in the U.S., but she was really the only one working in the studio system during most of the period that’s known as the Hollywood Golden Age. Her short career was still incredibly prolific. Research: "Dorothy Arzner." Encyclopedia of World Biography Online, Gale, 2022.

We've got a big one for you this week: four main movies plus four Fear and Moviegoing viewings. Our main feature is Stanning for Sten: Anna Sten's three movies for Samuel Goldwyn, Nana (1934), based on (more like inspired by) the Zola novel, We Live Again (1934), with a Tolstoy source, and The Wedding Night (1935), plus a glimpse at one of her later supporting roles in Let's Live a Little (1948), a Robert Cummings comedy vehicle. Goldwyn infamously brought Sten to Hollywood with the intention of creating his own Dietrich-Garbo hybrid and lavished the most prestigious Hollywood talent (Arzner, Mamoulian, Vidor, Gregg Toland, and co-stars like Frederic March and Gary Cooper) and literary source material on her, only to have the public reject her; but we argue that Goldwyn's care didn't go to waste. And in Fear and Moviegoing, we look at the career of actress/director Mai Zetterling, discussing two movies directed by her, and two early films in which she appears (one directed by Ingmar Bergman, the other written by him).      Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:    A Few Words About Sten and Goldwyn 0h 08m 02s:    NANA (1934) [dir.

Pionierka – to słowo idealnie opisuje Dorothy Arzner, żyjącą na przełomie wieków amerykańską scenarzystkę oraz reżyserkę, której filmy mogliśmy oglądać podczas 15. edycji American Film Festival we Wrocławiu. Po blisko pól wieku od śmierci reżyserki, jej filmy wciąż rezonują, a jedną z osób, która podtrzymuje pamięć o jej twórczości jest dr hab. Monika Talarczyk, profesorka Szkoły Filmowej w Łodzi, badaczka historii kina polskiego oraz kina mniejszości, autorka takich książek jak „Biały mazur. Kino kobiet w polskiej kinematografii” czy „Wanda Jakubowska. Od nowa”. Rozmowę w przestrzeni Kina Nowe Horyzonty poprowadził Mateusz Nowak.  

Opowiadam o karierze amerykańskiej reżyserki Dorothy Arzner (1897-1979). Odcinek powstał we współpracy z American Film Festival we Wrocławiu. Gościnny udział: Rafał Glapiak ("Mocne punkty").

Dorothy Arzner war eine wegweisende Filmemacherin, die als eine der wenigen Frauen in der frühen Hollywood-Ära Regie führte. Als Stenotypistin bei der Famous Players-Lasky Corporation begann sie ihre Karriere, stieg schnell zur Editorin auf und nutzte ihr Talent, um 1927 ihren ersten Film „Fashions for Women“ zu inszenieren. Dieser Erfolg eröffnete ihr die Tür zu weiteren Regieprojekten. Arzners Filme, wie der ikonische „Dance, Girl, Dance“ aus dem Jahr 1940, waren bekannt für ihre feministische Perspektive und die Darstellung starker, unkonventioneller Frauenrollen. Ihre Werke setzten neue Maßstäbe für die Darstellung weiblicher Charaktere im Film. Trotz ihrer beeindruckenden Erfolge zog sie sich in den 1950er Jahren aus der Filmregie zurück, um sich dem Lehren an der UCLA zu widmen, wo sie ihr Wissen und ihre Erfahrungen an aufstrebende Filmemacher weitergab. Ihr persönliches Leben war ebenso inspirierend; sie lebte in einer langjährigen Beziehung mit der Choreografin Marion Morgan, was ihre künstlerische und persönliche Reise bereicherte."Historische Heldinnen" lässt mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz wichtige Frauen der Weltgeschichte auf ihr eigenes Leben zurückblicken. Selbstbewusst erzählen sie uns von ihrem Mut und ihrer Durchsetzungskraft.Viertausendhertz 2024 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nesse podcast conversamos sobre o filme The Watermelon Woman (1996), considerado o primeiro longa dirigido por uma mulher negra e lésbica a estrear nos cinemas nos Estados Unidos. Nele a cineasta Cheryl Dunye cria um falso documentário para ressaltar o apagamento de mulheres negras e sáficas na Hollywood clássica. Comentamos a proposta ousada e provocativa do filme, o humor da narrativa em meio a um tema sério, bem como a linguagem e as escolhas de direção de arte.

Welcome to another episode of Queernundrum, where we explore the lives and legacies of remarkable individuals who have left a mark on history. In today's episode, we dive into the incredible life and career of Dorothy Arzner, an American film director, a true pioneer in the entertainment industry, and an LGBTQ+ icon.Dorothy Arzner was a trailblazer, and her story is nothing short of inspirational. Born 1897, she would go on to become one of the most prolific and innovative directors in the history of American cinema. In an era when female directors were a rarity, Arzner shattered glass ceilings and blazed a trail for future generations of women in film.In 1927, she directed her first feature film, "Fashions for Women," making her the first woman to direct a sound film. One of Arzner's most iconic films is "The Wild Party" (1929), starring the legendary Clara Bow, a Hollywood sweetheart. It was a critical and commercial success and solidified Arzner's reputation as a director who could bring out the best in her actors and push the boundaries of storytelling. She was known for her meticulous attention to detail, innovative camera work, and her ability to create dynamic and compelling narratives.Throughout her career, Dorothy Arzner directed numerous films, working with some of the biggest stars of her time, including Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, and Lucille Ball. Her work covered a wide range of genres, from comedies and dramas to musicals, and consistently pushed the boundaries of what was possible in filmmaking.But Dorothy Arzner's story is not just one of cinematic achievement; it's also a story of personal courage and resilience. Arzner was openly gay in an era when such a revelation was met with hostility and discrimination. She lived her life authentically and unapologetically, making her a queer icon and an inspiration to the LGBTQ+ community. Her work often featured strong, independent female characters, which was a reflection of her own determination to break through the barriers imposed by a male-dominated industry.Arzner's influence on Hollywood extended far beyond her own films. She mentored and inspired a new generation of filmmakers, both male and female, and her legacy can be seen in the work of directors who followed in her footsteps.In this episode, we explore the life and career of Dorothy Arzner, a visionary director, a pioneer in cinema, and a queer icon. Join us as we celebrate her groundbreaking contributions to the world of film and honor her legacy as a trailblazer who fearlessly shattered the glass ceiling, both in Hollywood and in matters of the heart.Q-News:LGBTQ+ Montanans have celebrated another brief win after a judge prolonged the injunction on the state's vaguely-worded drag banBiden honors Matthew Shepard and condemns anti-LGBTQ violence - On the 25th anniversary of Shepard's death, President Biden condemned anti-LGBTQ violenceCasting gay actors to play gay characters is about ‘authenticity'60th anniversary of the March on Washington Gay and targeted in Uganda: Inside the extreme crackdown on LGBTQ...

Our guest, the hilarious stand-up and writer Mia Pinchoff, picked perhaps the film people think of when they think of feminist films - “Thelma & Louise.” This was an over-do rewatch for Devin and Andrea, and a first time watch for Mia. This was a lively and engaging conversation about not only our takeaways and impressions of the film, but the massive impact this film still has today. Mia and Andrea are long time friends, and we were so thrilled she joined us to talk about rom-coms, thrillers, about Devin's dog, about “meat flowers” (which you'll just have to tune in to see what that is and how we got there) - this was such a fun chat :) Our women in film history highlighted, appropriately, the Geena Davis Institute On Gender In Media and the groundbreaking filmmaker Dorothy Arzner, who, among her many accomplishments, also invented the first boom microphone!

In the seventh episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by screenwriter David Gutierrez and editor Kristi Shimek to discuss the backstage musical oddity of  dissonant artistry and the audience as voyeur that makes up Dorothy Arzner's half experimental take on the conventional musical form and its romantic assumptions that defines the B-movie flair of Dance, Girl, Dance (1940).

A un paso de celebrarse la 95 edición de los premios Oscar rendimos homenaje a Dorothy Arzner, la única mujer directora de cine en el Hollywood de los años 30. En sus 94 ediciones solo tres mujeres han logrado el reconocimiento del Oscar a mejor dirección y hubo que esperar a 2010 para que la primera lo obtuviera, pero es que hasta 1977 ninguna mujer estuvo nominada en esa categoría. A Arzner le encargaron la primera película sonora de la Paramount en 1923.

Our Valentine's Day 2023 episode is all about loves from the past who have inconveniently returned. In My Favorite Wife (1940), Irene Dunne is newly remarried Cary Grant's presumed dead wife, while in Kiss Me Goodbye (1982), James Caan is Sally Field's actually dead, or undead, husband, interfering with her engagement to the (ostensibly) less charismatic Jeff Bridges. We apply Stanley Cavell's concept of the "comedy of remarriage" to these movies and conclude that the comedy of My Favorite Wife really has nothing to do with its premise, whereas Kiss Me Goodbye does perform some interesting twists on comedy of remarriage tropes.

Picture the first “It Girl,” and you're likely to imagine young, fun Clara Bow, sex symbol of the Roaring '20s. But behind the frame is the woman who wrote It: Elinor Glyn, an English-gentlewoman-turned-Hollywood-screenwriter whose romantic novels inspired so much of the era's glamorous aesthetic. Hilary Hallett, a professor of history at Columbia University, brings Glyn back into the spotlight in her new biography, Inventing the It Girl. Glyn's story, like that of so many of her heroines—and unlike her contemporaries—begins after her marriage in 1892 to a spendthrift noble with a gambling problem. The blockbuster success of her scandalous 1907 sex novel, Three Weeks, catapulted her to literary stardom and, as it so often does, to Hollywood, where she worked on dozens of films and styled silent-era superstars like Rudolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson. Hallett joins the podcast to discuss how Glyn paved the way for a century of sexual, romantic, and psychological independence.Go beyond the episode:Hilary Hallett's Inventing the It Girl: How Elinor Glyn Created the Modern Romance and Conquered Early HollywoodWatch It, the “Elinor Glyn–Clarence Badger Production” that made Clara Bow a star in 1927Meet more neglected Hollywood women: Dorothy Arzner remains the most prolific woman studio director in the history of cinema; start with Merrily We Go to Hell from 1932Jean Smart will play a mostly accurate version of Elinor Glyn in Damien Chazelle's upcoming film Babylon, about the decadence of the Roaring '20sVisit our episode page for more photographs of Glyn, including her scintillating turn as the Tiger QueenTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

There is no shortage of recent articles regarding the too long overlooked subject of female directors. While many of these articles are specific to the women directing films today (Patty Jenkins, Kelly Reichardt, Kathryn Bigelow, etc.), there are many more that claim to be comprehensive overviews of the contributions made by women to the art of cinema. These articles are careful to remember female directors from the distant past (Lotte Reiniger, Alice Guy-Blaché) and the ones who boldly made films in Hollywood when women weren't even considered for jobs as directors (Dorothy Arzner, Ida Lupino, Barbara Loden). They are careful to include women of color (Gina Prince-Bythewood, Chloé Zhao), and they don't forget the well-known foreign women directors (Lina Wertmüller, Agnès Varda, Chantal Akerman). But there's one group of female directors who haven't been given due credit for their work: The female directors of East Germany. You can go through as many articles on the topic of female directors as you're willing to read, and you won't find Iris Gusner, Evelyn Schmidt, or Hannelore Unterberg mentioned at all. Never mind that the films by these women are often better than any of the films made by some of the directors that did make those lists. Even the list of female directors Wikipedia includes no female East German directors. Join us today as we speak with Jim Morton, author of the East German Cinema Blog, and Jeffrey Babcock, who curated a program on East German cinema for the Goethe Institute in Amsterdam, on the often overlooked topic of female directors in DEFA films.  Our ability to bring you stories from behind the Berlin Wall is dependent on monthly donors like you.

In this episode, we discuss MERRILY WE GO TO HELL (1932; dir. Dorothy Arzner).

This week, the Film Buds are joined by Friend of the Show Madelaine Davis as we continue to Highlight Women in Film for Women's History Month. For this episode, we're covering Women in History, specifically the early half of the 20th century.Our first filmmaker is Lois Weber and her controversial social-issue film Where Are My Children from 1916. Why is it controversial? Well, probably because it is about birth control and abortion. Guess you could say it is still controversial to this day. We'll discuss thematic elements of the film, Weber's career, and the legacy of the film.Second is Dorothy Arzner, another pioneering woman, and her showgirl-centric comedy Dance, Girl, Dance from 1940. Arzner and her sensibilities are wildly different, so beyond reviewing the film we'll discuss her legacy, compare the filmmakers, and also talk about the differences in when they were working.You can find Madelaine @MadelaineD_ on Twitter and @madelained_ on Instagram.

We start off 1939 with a bang with two Paramount movies that gave us a lot to discuss. First, Cafe Society (directed by Edward H. Griffith), the first of several pairings of Fred MacMurray with early Hitchcock blonde Madeleine Carroll, with an original screenplay by future Columbia Pictures producer Virginia Van Upp, takes the screwball (for the most part) out of class-conscious 30s romantic comedy, replacing it with a high degree of sexual tension and, especially, an unusual focus on the moral growth of the heroine. We discuss the textual evidence of female auteurship and note certain similarities with Dorothy Arzner's The Wild Party (discussed in our Clara Bow series). Next, we explain why Frank Borzage's Disputed Passage, based on the Lloyd C. Douglas novel, is really a superhero movie, in what sense it is and isn't a soap opera, and how it's not about the proper way to be a doctor but rather about the proper way to lead the religious life. And in our returning (again) Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment, we revisit the great I Am A Fugitive From a Chain Gang (1932) and its subtextual subject matter of the corruption and perversion of the South by slavery, as a particular instance of the human tendency to find opportunities to create systems of cruelty.    Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:     CAFE SOCIETY [dir.

NOTE: This podcast was recorded on June 8th, 2021.

DANCE, DOROTHY, DANCE, the Dorothy Arzner podcast, nears its conclusion with Marc and B discussing their penultimate film, the 1932 melodrama MERRILY WE GO TO HELL, which was recently released into The Criterion Collection. Arzner's last job for Paramount and last collaboration with Friedrich March, the film stars March alongside Sylvia Sydney as a doomed couple who attempt to endure family pressures, alcoholism, and even experimenting with an open marriage. We hope you enjoy, and thank you for your time. NOTE: This podcast was recorded on June 8th, 2021.

DANCE, DOROTHY, DANCE, the Dorothy Arzner podcast, has arrived at its penultimate episode as Marc and B discuss Arzner's final film, the 1943 dramatic war thriller FIRST COMES COURAGE (1943).

We hope you enjoy, and thank you for your time. NOTE: This podcast was recorded on June 8th, 2021.

Well, here we are. DANCE, DOROTHY, DANCE, the podcast dedicated to the works of Dorothy Arzner, has reached its conclusion. Marc Edward Heuck and B Peterson wrap up the series by going back over everything they've seen, talking what surprised them, what hit them hardest and what missed the mark.

NOTE: This podcast was recorded on June 8th, 2021.

DANCE, DOROTHY, DANCE, the Dorothy Arzner podcast continues with Marc and B discussing THE WILD PARTY (1929), which was not only Dorothy Arzner's first sound film, but the first feature-length sound film directed by any woman. It stars Clara Bow in her first sound performance alongside Arzner regular Friedrich March, as student and professor who get romantically involved at an all-girls University in California (don't worry, it's gayer than it sounds). We hope you enjoy, and thank you for your time. NOTE: This podcast was recorded on June 7th, 2021.

DANCE, DOROTHY, DANCE, the Dorothy Arzner podcast, continues with Marc and B discussing Arzner's first of two of her films that were released in 1931, HONOR AMONG LOVERS.

We hope you enjoy, and thank you for your time. NOTE: This podcast was recorded on June 6th, 2021.

DANCE, DOROTHY, DANCE, the Dorothy Arzner podcast, continues with Marc and B discussing CHRISTOPHER STRONG (1933), Arzner's first outing as an freelance director and one of her most recognized works today. The film stars Katherine Hepburn in her first starring role as Cynthia Darrington, a world-famous aviator who ends up falling for the titular man, played by Colin Clive, who is already married to Lady Strong, played by Billie Burke. We hope you enjoy, and thank you for your time. NOTE: This podcast was recorded on June 6th, 2021.

DANCE, DOROTHY, DANCE, the Dorothy Arzner podcast, continues with Marc and B discussing NANA (1934), Arzner's second film as an independent director. It stars as Anna Sten as the titular character, a sex worker who succeeds in theater and love until those around her see to it that she doesn't. We hope you enjoy, and thank you for your time. NOTE: This podcast was recorded on June 5th, 2021.

DANCE, DOROTHY, DANCE has returned!! Marc Heuck and B, now recording together live from LA, are going through every Dorothy Arzner-directed film, whether she got official credit for it or not! Today's film is BEHIND THE MAKE-UP, the 1930 Robert Milton film for which Arzner offered co-direction, and received no credit in return. Hal Skelly, William Powell and Fay Wray star in what is essentially an inferior male predecessor to DANCE, GIRL, DANCE, where two performers with different artistic goals try and work together to achieve success. We hope you enjoy, and thank you for your time. NOTE: This podcast was recorded on June 4th, 2021.

It's once again time for DANCE, DOROTHY, DANCE, the Dorothy Arzner podcast! Today Marc and B, still recording from LA in early June (as they will be for the rest of this series), discuss CHARMING SINNERS, the 1929 sex farce credited to Robert Milton, which was co-directed by an uncredited Arzner. Starring Ruth Chatterton and William Powell, the film tells the story of a wife who seeks to control the flow of information when her husband's infidelity is on the verge of becoming a scandal. We hope you enjoy, and thank you for your time. NOTE: This podcast was recorded on June 5th, 2021.

DANCE, DOROTHY, DANCE, the Dorothy Arzner podcast continues with Marc and B discussing Arzner's other 1930 film written by Zoe Akins (along with Doris Anderson) and starring Ruth Chatterton: ANYBODY'S WOMAN. The film tells the story of a burlesque dancer who ends up marrying a rich lawyer thanks to shenanigans, and deals with the social fallout. We hope you enjoy, and thank you for your time. NOTE: This podcast was recorded June 5th, 2021.
