	Scarface (1932 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scarface (also known as Scarface, the Shame of the Nation and The Shame of a Nation) is a 1932 gangster film which tells the story of gang warfare and police intervention when rival gangs fight over control of a city.
		The film is loosely based upon the life of Al Capone (whose nickname was "Scarface").
		The film was completed in 1930 but censors would not allow its release until 1932, because of concerns that it glorified the gangster lifestyle and showed too much violence.

	John Williams (composer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		John Towner Williams (born February 8, 1932 in New York City) is one of the most widely recognized composers of film scores.
		While skilled in a variety of 20th century compositional idioms, his most familiar style may be described as a form of neoromanticism, informed by the large-scale orchestral music of the late 19th century and that of Williams' film-composing predecessors.
		The music is legendary for its slow, ominous Shark Theme (arguably the single most recognised theme in film music history), and earned Williams his second Academy Award (he had won his first for his 1971 adaptation of the music for the film version of Fiddler on the Roof).

	Scarface: The Shame of the Nation (1932)
		Therefore, this tough, pioneering film could not claim to be at the forefront of the gangster talking film craze in the early 30s.
		The gangsters in the film are often portrayed as ignorant, remorseless, and childish criminals who don't comprehend the enormity of their transgressions.
		Due to squabbles over the film's release and the hue and cry over its depiction of the world of gangsterism, the film ultimately did poorly at the box office (it was banned in several states, and showings were delayed over a year in Chicago) and was withdrawn from circulation by Howard Hughes.

	Exhibition - Moving Images / Amateur Film
		Film material constantly decreased in width, from initially 35-mm to 16-mm (1923), 9.5-mm (1921), and finally to only 8-mm (1932).
		The introduction of Super-8 film in 1963 and the Super-8 sound film cartridge in 1973 created ideal conditions for home movies, but the new technology of magnetic film recording on video cassettes introduced in the 1980s soon conquered the global market and heralded the swift end of conventional amateur filmmaking.
		It was over 100 years ago that the medium of film first put moving people on screen; the 20th century was the era of film, and this new exhibition shows the technology of the age.

	One hundred Years of Film Sizes. Almost one hundred film widths and perforations were experimented with.
		Whereas film equipment has undergone drastic changes in the course of a century it is a little miracle that 35mm has remained the universally accepted film size.
		Films from 10 to 15 meter lengths in special containers were for rent from Edison depots or by mail.
		An optimum use of the film width was obtained by expanding the image and reducing the size of the perforations on both sides.

	The Mummy: Classic Monster Collection (1932)
		The 1932 edition is a decent movie but I thought it moved at a very slow pace and it often seemed dull to me. Really, not a whole lot happens in the movie.
		Since both DVDs of both the 1932 and the 1999 editions appeared on the same day, one would expect they had time to discuss the story's most recent generation.
		Film historian Paul M. Jensen appears in the documentary and he also offers the DVD's audio commentary.

		Film Highlights, production notes, the 1932 trailer, cast and crew bios and filmographies were also included, and help make this disc a real special edition.

	Film History of the 1930s
		James Whale was coerced into making more horror films for Universal, including The Old Dark House (1932), The Invisible Man (1933), and then in 1935, the now-talking MONSTER was presented with a Bride Monster (but she screeched her rejection of a Mate) in director Whale's superior horror-comedy sequel Bride of Frankenstein (1935).
		Among the films that increased Clark Gable's popular pre-eminence in films was director Frank Capra's hit It Happened One Night (1934) (in which his removal of a shirt revealed his bare chest and the absence of an undershirt - setting the US underwear industry into a tailspin).
		The film set a pattern for future films, telling stories about the lives and destinies of several individuals - including a vivacious office worker, a dancer, a jewel-thief - that were woven together into a whole.

	Scarface (1932)
		Take this film for what it was then and remains today, a look at a time in America where prohibition elevated criminals to cult hero status.
		The film goes out if its way to denounce this trend by being one of the first crime films and by showing the fatal, brutal reality of a life of crime.
		The film is old and the ravages of time have taken their toll but overall the quality of this DVD holds up.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Tarzan, the Ape Man (1932)
		Films based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' vine-swinging jungle hero had been made ever since 1918, with Tarzan of the Apes, but this 1932 film, the first which starred Olympic gold medalist swimmer Johnny Weissmuller, is considered definitive today.
		It is curious that audiences of the Tarzan films consider this the definitive Tarzan, because no portrayal could be further from the character Edgar Rice Burroughs created with his novels.
		Several of the early films in the series were shot on location in the jungle, but declining budgets prohibited that for most of the subsequent films (until 1959).

	Interview with Filmmaker Laurel Greenberg about the film "Trouble in Paradise,", 07/04
		Lamar may be known to movie buffs as Hedwig Keisler, her stage name when she appeared in the first feature film nude scene in the 1932 Czech film "Ecstasy." In scientific circles, Lamar may be remembered for patenting an invention during World War II for a radio-guided torpedo that was unjammable.
		Within less than a decade, when the allies were losing the war at sea, she was to break a second barrier when she patented an invention designed to make a radio guided torpedo that was was unjammable.
		Lamarr is one of several subjects Perkins and her production team have in the works, all of which are American men and women in the sciences and humanities, a mix of icons and relatively obscure characters that broke barriers and significantly altered the cultural scene.

	Henry B. Walthall: Film Review--The Talkies 1929-1932
		Tracy and co-star Joan Bennett reenact a scene from Strange Interlude (another 1932 film which included Walthall among its cast) during which the thoughts of the characters are audible to the audience.
		This plot alone would have made for a great film, but the storyline is often preoccupied by Chandu's frivolous romance with a princess and the silly drunken exploits of Chandu's alcoholic sidekick.
		For the most part, the film is slow and boring with a bland romance between John Darrow and Blanche Mehaffey.

	SaveYourMovies - Regular 8mm Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		With this advancement in film technology, the Kemco Home Movie camera and a dual size projector was introduced for 16mm and 1/4x16mm to allow viewing both formats.
		After processing the film, it was split down the middle and the two 8mm halves were spliced together yielding a 50 ft. reel.
		Because changing reels in the middle of the film roll proved to be troublesome, a number of manufacturers introduced straight 8mm wound on 50 ft. reels (Univex, Bell and Howell) and in cassettes (Agfa and Meopta).

	Silent Film Sources Review
		The film picks up when a man leaves a book in a room- "to be opened after my death." He is killed and the book is about vampires.
		The film is filled with memorable images: a skull turning to watch; a shadow walking over to join its subject sitting in repose; point-of-view filming from inside a glass-topped coffin as the lid is nailed down and then carried out to the churchyard for burial.
		The story goes that the first few days of filming was damaged by a light leak in the camera, but Dreyer liked the effect so much that he had the rest of the film photographed to match.

		The film is a remake of Jacques Feyder’s 1921 adaptation of Pierre Benoît’s novel, with some striking differences, particularly in the portrayal of the queen Antinea.
		As was the case with Feyder’s film, this film uses extensive location photography and cost a fortune to make, even though its runtime is much shorter.
		The film was made in three versions, one in French, one in German and another in English.

	An Ethnographic Surrealist Film
		The surrealist movement in poetry, literature, and film overlapped with the emerging discipline of modern anthropology in France.
		By leaving the traces of this process in the film, however, the director undermines the illusion and exposes the artifice of montage.
		Of Buñuel's The Golden Age, one of the first sound films produced in France, a critic wrote, "The audio portion is used in a most unusual way: to destroy rather than reinforce the illusion of reality in the work" (Martin 1983: 24).

		Most of the film history recited here is that of zombies and mummies, plus you'll see a few other films supposedly about the "symbolic undead" that do not seem to belong.
		This work in film theory analyzes the cult classic 1932 film White Zombie from every angle, including the influence it had on later zombie films.
		This film history tells the story of zombies as portrayed in the movies, focusing on trends such as the changeover from an enslaved laborer beholden to a Voodoo priest to a corpse-like spreader of disease who likes snacking on human brains.

	Headlines@Hopkins: Johns Hopkins University News Releases

		Badly shrunken and afflicted with a condition that is virtually destroying the film stock, it can no longer be projected for a public audience and sits in a canister in the basement of Turner Auditorium on the East Baltimore campus.
		Lee Watkins, who coordinated the grant application process, said the NFPF worked with him to find the most appropriate film preservation vendor to ensure that the hospital film was copied properly, in what is a laborious and expensive undertaking.

		In other words, to be considered art, film must demonstrate not only the perfection of each element, but the perfection of those elements in relation to each other...
		That is to say: If film art is truly the production of the heart and mind in concert, such devices would merely be means to an end, the bridges crossed on a journey deep into the soul.
		It argues for the preservation of the already-gone (e.g., fl and white, silent film, etc.) It is illiberal, ill-conceived, unsatisfactory and unsatisfying.

	Film Review: FREAKS (1932) - Elites TV - Your Elite News Source
		At just over an hour, the film is a sideshow of physical deformity, and proves that just when you think you've seen it all, there's a human skeleton or a bird lady waiting in the wings to drop your jaw.
		The audience upon its initial release definitely missed this message, and as a result Freaks gained notoriety as a classified exploitation film.
		The other two are merely shorter substitute edits of the actual ending, as the studio wanted desperately to alleviate the shock value for the audience.
