Edition: 2021Place: ChicagoPublisher: University of Chicago PressPubDate: 2021PhysDes: xi, 266 pages : illustratedSubject: DAVIS, BETTE ; ANDERSON, ERNIE ; BALDWIN, JAMES ; CRAWFORD, JOAN ; IN THIS OUR LIFE (US, John Huston, 1942) ; JEZEBEL (US, William Wyler, 1938) ; LITTLE FOXES, THE (US, William Wyler, 1941) ; MCDANIEL, HATTIE ; RACIAL ISSUES AND THE CINEMA ; WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? (US, Robert Aldrich, 1962) ; WYLER, WILLIAM Summary: Bette Davis’s career becomes a vehicle for a deep examination of American race relations.
Bette Davis was not only one of Hollywood’s brightest stars, but also one of its most outspoken advocates on matters of race. In Bette Davis Black and White, Julia A. Stern explores this largely untold facet of Davis’s brilliant career.
Bette Davis Black and White analyzes four of Davis’s best-known pictures—Jezebel (1938), The Little Foxes (1941), In This Our Life (1942), and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)—against the history of American race relations. Stern also weaves in memories of her own experiences as a young viewer, coming into racial consciousness watching Davis’s films on television in an all-white suburb of Chicago.
Davis’s egalitarian politics and unique collaborations with her Black costars offer Stern a window into midcentury American racial fantasy and the efforts of Black performers to disrupt it. This book incorporates testimony from Davis’s Black contemporaries, including James Baldwin and C. L. R. James, as well as the African American fans who penned letters to Warner Brothers praising Davis’s work. A unique combination of history, star study, and memoir, Bette Davis Black and White allows us to contemplate cross-racial spectatorship in new ways. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780226813868Contents: Historical Note -- Chapter 1 Introduction: Black and White -- Chapter 2 Little Foxes and Little Brown Wrens -- Chapter 3 The Poetics of Color in Jezebel -- Chapter 4 Melodramas of Blood in In This Our Life -- Chapter 5 The Whiteness of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? -- Chapter 6 Bette Davis Black and White -- Acknowledgments -- Notes – Index.

Replete with anecdotes and asides, the book details almost every aspect of the production of a motion picture, including the marshalling of actors and technicians, the preparation for filming itself, the cutting and editing processes, and the not always amicable transactions with distributors and would-be exploiters that follow the making of a film. The final section deals with the art of film comedy: how it is created, what makes it work, and who the great comedians are and why" -Book blurbISBN: 01854780238Donation: donated by the family of Wayne Levy, 2006Contents: To the reader -- Prologue -- Part one - production -- The humanities of film -- The total film-maker -- The money man -- Script and writer -- Actors -- The million-dollar hug -- Pre-production chores -- The crew -- Homework -- Filming it! -- Part two - post-production -- Editing -- Music and dubbing -- distribution and exploitation -- Other film-makers, other films -- Part three - comedy -- Laughs are our thing -- The visuals of comedy -- The comedians -- Kind of a wrap
