book		Double-act : the remarkable lives and careers of Googie Withers and John McCallum / Brian McFarlane Clayton, Victoria: Monash University Publishing, [2015]. Call No: 81WIT MCF Author: McFarlane, Brian Source: AT Place: Clayton, Victoria Publisher: Monash University Publishing PubDate: [2015] PhysDes: xiii, 241 pages, 32 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, portraits ; 25 cm Subject: MCCALLUM, JOHN; WITHERS, GOOGIE Summary: Not many can boast of careers that lasted successfully for nearly 70 years, but that is what was achieved by Australian actors Googie Withers and John McCallum. Withers acted everything, from brazen murderesses to Lady Bracknell, as well as a broad range of everyman characters, such as blonde nitwits, wartime Resistance workers, lady farmers, and Shakespearean women. McCallum not only performed memorably in all the acting media, but he was also a pioneer producer in Australian television, sending the popular series Skippy the Bush Kangaroo into the far corners of the world. He was also the managing director of a huge theatrical firm, a film director, a playwright, and an author. Just as remarkable was their 62-year marriage, not all that common in the entertainment world, and the way their marriage succeeded is as fascinating as their varied and prolific careers. There were plenty of disagreements along the way, but underlying all was their profound respect for each other's work and a kind of love that was essentially complementary. Together, in professional and personal matters alike, Googie Withers and John McCallum were an unbeatable combination Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 211-229) and index Contents: Machine generated contents note: 1.Googie -- 2.John -- 3.John and Googie and Joanna Godden -- 4.A very busy couple -- 5.Heading south -- 6.Interlude -- 7.Going south -- and staying there (more or less) -- 8.New directions -- 9.Small screens and large stages -- 10.Commuting -- 11.Winding up More info

book		The films of Fred Schepisi / Brian McFarlane Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, Call No: 81 SCH MCF Author: McFarlane, Brian Edition: 2022 Place: Jackson Publisher: University Press of Mississippi PhysDes: xii, 180 pages : illustrated ; 22cm Subject: SCHEPISI, FRED; CHANT OF JIMMIE BLACKSMITH, THE (AT, Fred Schepisi, 1978); CRY IN THE DARK, A (AT, Fred Schepisi, 1988) SEE EVIL ANGELS; LAST ORDERS (UK, Fred Schepisi, 2001) Summary: Fred Schepisi is one of the crucial names associated with the revival of the Australian film industry in the 1970s. The Films of Fred Schepisi traces the lead-up to his critical successes in feature filmmaking, via his earlier award-winning success as a producer in advertising commercials in the 1960s and the setting up of his own company. Unlike some directors, he derived from this experience a sure sense of the commercial aspects of filmmaking, as well as its aesthetic considerations. The volume also considers stories of his early education in a Catholic seminary, which he drew on in his semiautobiographical film, The Devil’s Playground, the success of which launched him as an exciting new feature director. The volume expands on Schepisi’s success story to chart his development as a director in demand in other countries, notably in the US and the UK, as well as continuing to make major films in Australia. Brian McFarlane argues that Schepisi’s career is symptomatic of Australian directors who have made their presences felt on the international stage. Whereas other key directors of the Australian film revival, such as Peter Weir and Bruce Beresford, have been the subject of book-length critical studies, Schepisi’s career has not to-date been so explored. McFarlane takes a critical account of Schepisi’s film output—including such standouts as The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, Plenty, Roxanne, Six Degrees of Separation, Mr. Baseball, and Last Orders—and he augments analysis with interviews with the director. By discussing the production histories and both critical and popular receptions, McFarlane’s study shines a new light on Schepisi’s work and his rise to prominence in the global film industry. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781496835307 More info

book		The never-ending Brief Encounter / Brian McFarlane Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2019. Call No: 79 BRI MCF Author: Mcfarlane, Brian Edition: 2019 Place: Manchester Publisher: Manchester University Press PubDate: 2019 PhysDes: xii,120 pages : illus ; 24 cm Subject: BRIEF ENCOUNTER (UK, David Lean, 1945); BRIEF ENCOUNTER (UK/US, Alan Bridges, 1974) Summary: This is a book for all those who have been absorbed and moved by Brief Encounter in the seventy or so years since its first appearance. It explores the central relationship of the film, where two people who fall unexpectedly in love come to realise that there is more to life than self-gratification. Mores have undoubtedly changed, for better or worse, but that essential moral choice has never lost its power. While acknowledging this, the book goes further in an effort to account for the way the film has passed into the wider culture. People born decades after its first appearance are now adept at picking up references to it, whether a black-and-white scene in a much later film or a passing joke about a bald man in a barber's shop. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781526124401 Donation: Donated by the author Contents: Introduction / 1 Predecessors / 2 Brief Encounter in 1945 / 3 In the wake / 4 Descendants - on radio, stage and screen / 5 Quotations / 6 Echoes / 7 From big screen to small - and elsewhere / 8 Odds and ends / 9 What is it about railway stations? / Conclusion / Index More info

book		Novel to film : an introduction to the theory of adaptation / Brian McFarlane Oxford New York: Clarendon Press Oxford University Press, 1996. Call No: 753 MCF Author: McFarlane, Brian, 1934 Place: Oxford New York Publisher: Clarendon Press Oxford University Press PubDate: 1996 PhysDes: viii, 279 p. : ill. ; 24 cm Subject: ADAPTATIONS; LITERATURE AND THE CINEMA; CAPE FEAR (US, Martin Scorsese, 1991); SCARLET LETTER, THE (US, Victor Sjostrom, 1926); RANDOM HARVEST (US, Mervyn LeRoy, 1942); GREAT EXPECTATIONS (UK, David Lean, 1946); DAISY MILLER (US, Peter Bogdanovich, 1974) Summary: "'It wasn't as good as the book' is a view often expressed about film adaptations and the starting point of many a film review or conversation. Novel to Film is the first systematic theoretical account of the process by which works of literature are transformed into the good, bad (sometimes ugly) but always distinctive medium of cinema. This book proposes a concise and carefully constructed account of how this metamorphosis may be analysed in depth. Drawing upon modern and literary film theory this book proposes a methodology for considering novels and the films made from them. In the first serious account of its kind, the book begins with a firm theoretical basis for a study of adaptation and then shows how this might be applied to five case studies representing a range of fiction and cinematic practice. The Scarlet Letter, Random Harvest, Great Expectations, Daisy Miller, and Cape Fear are the films, ranging from the silent era to the modern thriller. Uniquely wide ranging, this book provides an important new analysis of a much discussed but little understood topic.' [Taken from BOOK BLURB] Notes: Filmography: p.

book		Real and reel : the education of a film obsessive and critic Glen Waverley, Vic.: Sid Harta Publishers, 2010. Call No: 81MCF MCF Author: McFarlane, Brian Place: Glen Waverley, Vic. Publisher: Sid Harta Publishers PubDate: 2010 Subject: FILM; CINEMAS; MCFARLANE, BRIAN Summary: "From a little before ten years of age, Brian McFarlane became addicted to stories told on the screen and the mere fact that he had difficulty in getting to see the films he wanted - or any for that matter - only made them seem more alluring. But it wasn't just seeing the films that mattered; he also wanted, and and quite soon needed, to be writing about them and these obsessions have been part of his life for the next sixty-odd years. Real and Reel is a light-hearted, ironic acount of a lifetime's addiction. It is one person's story, but it may strike familiar sparks among many others. Though there have been plenty of other interests to keep life lively, nothing else has exerted such a long-standing grip on the author's imagination as film" -- BOOK SLEEVE Notes: Includes bibliographical references ISBN: 9781921642586 (pbk.)
