USA; UNITED ARTISTS; ALLEN, WOODY; CIMINO, MICHAEL; FIELD, DAVID; DEER HUNTER, THE (US, Michael Cimino, 1978); HEAVEN'S GATE (US, Michael Cimino, 1980) Summary: "HEAVEN'S GATE is probably the most discussed, least seen film in modern movie history. Its notoriety is so great that it has become a generic term for disaster, for ego run rampant, for epic mismanagement, for wanton extravagance. It was also the watershed film of the decade - not for its cinematic qualities, but for its effect on Hollywood and the way movies will and will not be made in the future. For Michael Cimino's HEAVEN'S GATE did not merely fail (failure is forgivable, sometimes even endorsed in the strange labyrinths of the Hollywood psyche), HEAVEN'S GATE did the unthinkable: it sank a studio. Less than a month after the picture's second release, United Artists - the company founded by Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, D.W. Griffith and Charlie Chaplin - for all practical purposes ceased to exist. Why? How?" [TAKEN FROM BOOK JACKET] Notes: Includes index ISBN: 0688043828 Donation: Simon Wincer More info

journal article		Historicizing transition in Australian cinema: the moment of Emerald city in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.1 p.29-46 Author: Craven, Ian PhysDes: Article Subject: INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA; FINANCING. AUSTRALIA; AUSTRALIAN FILM FINANCE CORPORATION; EMERALD CITY (AT, Michael Jenkins, 1988) Summary: This article maps a series of connections between the feature film Emerald city (1988) and a range of contexts seens as informing its generation, operation and reception. Emphasis is placed upon the synchronicity of the movie's appearance with key shifts in government film policy, and the emergence of new critical paradigms within the academy, which reorganized dominany understandings of Australian cinema, and questioned the cultural value assigned to particular works and genres. Through this ' conjectural' analysis, Emerald city is reread as not only a symptomatic work, marking transitions between 'new wave' films-making and the 'post-national' cinema of the 1990s, but is re-evaluated as a significant film, provocative of fresh approaches to both the historiography and practical management of Australian cinema, detectable within more recent archaeologies of screen 'content' and the rhetorics of film policy formulated in its wake'--Abstract More info

In this definitive study, Leo Braudy tells the complicated story of the film’s production. He revisits the facts behind the controversy of Kazan’s infamous ‘naming of names’ during the McCarthy communist trials of the 1950s. But above all this is an analysis of the enduring appeal of On the Waterfront: the method inspired acting, the music and cinematography, the use of authentic locations and its powerfully symbolic depiction of post-war American values.
