Australian genre film / edited by Kelly McWilliam and Mark David Ryan New York: Routledge,
Call No: 730(94) AUSAuthor: McWilliam, Kelly ; Ryan, Mark David Edition: 2021Place: New YorkPublisher: RoutledgePhysDes: 248 pages : illustrated ; 23 cmSeries: Rutledge advances in film studiesSubject: AUSTRALIA ; GENRES ; BIOGRAPHICAL FILMS ; COMEDIES. AUSTRALIA ; CRIME FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; HORROR FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; MUSICALS. AUSTRALIA ; ROAD MOVIES. AUSTRALIA ; TEEN FILMS ; WAR FILMS AUSTRALIA Summary: Australian Genre Film interrogates key genres at the core of Australia’s so-called new golden age of genre cinema, establishing the foundation on which more sustained research on film genre in Australian cinema can develop.
The book examines what characterises Australian cinema and its output in this new golden age, as contributors ask to what extent Australian genre film draws on widely understood (and largely Hollywood-based) conventions, as compared to culturally specific conventions of genre storytelling. As such, this book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of Australian genre film, undertaken through original analyses of 13 significant Australian genres: action, biopics, comedy, crime, horror, musical, road movie, romance, science fiction, teen, thriller, war, and the Western.
This book will be a cornerstone work for the burgeoning field of Australian film genre studies and a must-read for academics; researchers; undergraduate students; postgraduate students; and general readers interested in film studies, media studies, cultural studies, Australian studies, and sociology. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781138603141Contents: 1.

But there is more to Mann's cinematic universe than those tough Wild West action dramas featuring conflicted and secretive heroes. This brilliant Hollywood craftsman also directed fourteen electrifying crime thrillers between 1942 and 1951, among them such towering achievements in film noir as T-Men, Raw Deal, and Side Street. Mann was as much at home filming dark urban alleys in black-and-white as he was the prairies and mountains in Technicolor, and his protagonists were no less conflicted and secretive than his 1950s cowboys.In these Mann crime thrillers we find powerful stories of sexual obsession (The Great Flamarion), the transforming images of women in wartime and postwar America (Strangers in the Night, Strange Impersonation), exploitation of Mexican immigrants (Border Incident), studies of the criminal mind (He Walked by Night), and Civil War bigotry (The Tall Target). Mann's forceful camera captured such memorable and diverse stars as Erich von Stroheim, Farley Granger, Dennis O'Keefe, Claire Trevor, Richard Basehart, Ricardo Montalba´n, Ruby Dee, and Raymond Burr.The Crime Films of Anthony Mann features analysis of rare documents, screenplays, story treatments, and studio memoranda and reveals detailed behind-the-scenes information on preproduction and production on the Mann thrillers. Author Max Alvarez uses rare and newly available sources to explore the creation of these noir masterworks. Along the way, the book exposes secrets and solves mysteries surrounding the mercurial director and his remarkable career, which also included Broadway and early live television"-- LIBRARIES AUSTRALIANotes: Includes bibliographical references, filmography and indexISBN: 9781617039249Contents: -- introduction -- 1: From Lomaland to Broadway -- 2: From Broadway to Hollywood -- 3: Dr. Broadway (1942) -- 4: Strangers in the Night (1944) -- 5: Two O'Clock Courage (1945) -- 6: The Great Flamarion (1945) -- 7: Strange Impersonation (1946) -- 8: Desperate (1947) -- 9:Railroaded!
